So what average does Drew come in on then, i thought you had to have a minimum 3 point average? If Jason comes in at 8.21 does it leave enough for a 3 pointer.

Do we really want to be taking a risk on a flaky pole who may struggle with the small Foxhall track compared to the big tracks in Poland and also leave their best equipment back home rather then bring it over here?

Oops my mistake, i for one would like to see Scott have another season at Foxhall, he would be good enough to beat most of the visiting heat leaders at home.

Wasn't Chris quoted last season as saying he didn't want to embarrass Scott with the deal he was able to offer him? I doubt much has changed since last season with what Scott wants deal wise even tho he can no longer demand heat leader money, yeah he would make a very good reserve round Foxhall and a few away tracks but would struggle at Peterborough and Belle Vue.

Well if the Holder visa rumour is true then Ipswich could have trouble getting a decent big hitter, Lindback wasn't great when he returned for Poole a few seasons back and we all know KK is very hit and miss.

Yeah Ben broke his arm in 12 places i seem to recall and that pretty much finished him, he sat out a couple of seasons after that I believe before riding for Mildenhall in 02 or haps 03 but was really to good for that standard of racing at the time and after that just slipped out of racing.

Know what your saying pinny, Ben Howe was worth the entrance money alone and luckily couldn't gate for toffee's so was always good entertainment, a group of us used to sponsor Ben back in the day and i still say to this day if he had of had the backing Sal got he would of gone haps a lot further in the sport.

I'm sure many years ago Jem Doncaster's brother Nick Doncaster had his throttle/clutch swapped over after he had a bad crash which left him unable to use it the normal way, saying that i thought Nick was actually looking the better rider of the two when they both took to the shale.

I know Rohan Tungate isn't British but didn't he come from a motorcycle racing background in Australia before trying his luck at speedway, also Jean-Michel Bayle not British again but he was a multi world champion in Motocross, he didn't really have that much success when he joined the Moto gp paddock, in either the 250cc or 500cc classes.

Cheers Screm for that, that's where i read about what i posted but wasn't sure how to copy and paste it or link it to my post.

I see that Danny's funeral is next Fri, 14th of Feb at West Suffolk Crematorium, and he will be taken to Mildenhall stadium first for a lap round the track followed by the riders.

Your out of order iron scorpion, i was as shocked as anyone when i heard about Danny bless him, I'd watched him glow as a rider at Mildenhall and was looking forward to him taking it to the next level at Foxhall this coming season, speedway is a numbers game and my suggestion was purely based around that and not a attack against Danny.

I only posted the option of changing Danny if they couldn't get a number 1 as he had the lowest average.

LMFAO at t sorry state of you, get back on the Peterborough thread you weirdo

I think it would leave 11.29 to play with if they released Danny Ayres

End of the day if Peterborough speedway wants to lose some die hard fans then on their head be it, the sport as is it needs all the fans it can get and should be encouraging fans to attend not turning fans away over some petty parking ruling.

Will do Neil, your bumped on Cliffy and Rose before then, they do love their speedway and the old man does like to chat bless him.

My dad was totally unaware of these supposed changes as he and my mother are not ones to use social media or alike, they will now sadly have to think long and hard about renewing their season tickets for this season, they do well at their age to attend regularly as it is considering they live ten miles from Ipswich so have a good hour plus drive there and back to attend the meetings, luckily for them they are also season ticket holders at Ipswich and Mildenhall so can still get their regular fix of shale action.

I'm not sure how this will effect my parents, their both pushing 80 and have been season ticket holders for yrs, they always kind of had a gentleman's agreement when renewing their season tickets every yr which allowed them to park inside the showground as they find the long walk from the main carparks a bit to far, neither of them being a BB holder i may add.

Don't think Scotty would ride for reserves money either, he'd only fit if they released Danny Ayres and went for 2 more middle order/reserve riders, and he'd be a reserve with the average he currently has, it is a bit worrying being this late in the day and still not declaring a big hitter, we can all come up with names but in truth none of them want to ride in the UK, 7.92 is a big void to fill.

Bring back big Ben Howeleast he gave plenty of entertainment and wasn't a gating tart like Sal

Jack Smith had a decent meeting it seems

Just as bad then hey, he'll no doubt end up back at Peterborough anyway hopefully

Tungate won't be welcome at Foxhall anytime soon if the rumours going about are true, he done something to upset the Louis family the last time he rode at Ipswich, he seems to be another Rory Schlein anyway and moans a lot and always has a face like a smacked arse

Well if it isn't Holder or even Iversen if he rides over here at all this season, what's the other option, release Danny Ayres and go for two 5.5 - 6 pointers?
