Let's see when fixture list is released.

It's only 4 meetings.

Agree, don't see an issue with replacing a rider before the EL starts. Not sure if there was another replaced before but it wouldn't surprise me if there was.

Don't think it's anything to do with Niels. Wasn't the change of race night to accommodate another Dane? The change of race night surely wouldn't affect Niels because if he wanted back in Wednesdays were never the issue?? Seems to me they are waiting on someone else if they knew about possible possible change of race night BEFORE the draft. Only the actions of the Lynn promotion look 'silly '.

Not sure if it applies or not because Jamrog was replaced before any EL meetings wasn't he?Edited - he was replaced before your first EL meeting.

If he stays or turns up, having him as heat leader weakens you IMHO.

Agreed. They have just messed about there own rider and if anything they should have made a decision on race night BEFORE the draft. Do they really expect Lewis to sit around twiddling his thumbs with a huge possibility he could be left without a PL club whilst they make decisions? If anything they owe their assets more respect. They can't blame Lewis in the slightest. He has a career to think of and his parent club haven't really helped his cause. More fool them if he sees his future elsewhere.

I felt for North at the time and still do now. It's obvious that his dad was and has life altering injuries. It's no wonder Dak's head wasn't fully in the game and hence the rumour that he isn't probably returning to the UK next season. I wish him and his dad well. The Poole situation with the injury was all politics.

Some said that about Roynon. I like Kerr, clearly has natural ability and made great progress in a short time. Let's see how he comes back from a serious injury and time on the sidelines first.

Thank god for the draft at least someone is trying to help the future. The PL are the ones trying to ruin the future by using rubbish foreigners on rubbish averages (because they are basically rubbish) instead of helping the next generation themselves. Thank god they have been bullied into doing it next season. Otherwise they would have helped continue to ignore the obvious and help cremate British Speedway.

Rarely shown signs of a class act in the EL. Swindon look like joining Poole and the Aces as stand out teams so far.

?? I most certainly was not jumping on you so hope that doesn't include me. I agreed with you that Poole don't look as strong next season. My only added point was that none of the teams look that strong next season. It's most certainly not jumping on you if you have read it that way you are very wrong.

Assuming averages have anything to do with the list! At least you have confirmed what I thought I had read all along that Sarj was on tier 1 list.

CVS said he couldn't take the risk with Ash not having any other deals in place. Still odd because as our asset we have priority anyway.

I'd have preferred Ash to be honest. Clegg certainly made better progress this year but still believe he is one of the weakest tier riders.

He won't. CVS has already said he wouldn't pick Bates because he doesn't want 2 reserves racing on the same night.

Can't see how they could just add a rider now who would have been picked first by most teams. It makes a mockery of the whole system. Kings Lynn can change their race night if they so wish but the BSPA can't make a mockery of the rules to suit and accommodate their needs. If moving their race night has messed up there situation is reserve then that's there problem and there are others riders still on the list not yet picked. It's simply not fair to add a much better rider to just suit one club and would be scandalous if that's what happens. Seems odd that Kings Lynn didn't just change there race night at the AGM!

Rumour or you seen the list?

That's a different matter if MH has already said so. I missed that announcement , got a link to it?

Yes I know and agree with you. The EL as a whole looks fairly average was my only opinion. Only a complete numpty would write off Poole. It shows just how poor the standard is tho for 2016 when Poole look weaker than this year but are one of 2 standout teams so far.

Touchy. I didn't say that is what you were saying at all. I said on paper most sides look average so far, that is and was just my opinion. No idea why you are trying to turn my opinion into something that it isn't. It's just general conversation, please don't make it into something it isn't OK?

In truth most of the sides look average on paper.

Disagree. However it's true none of us really know for sure.

I read it properly. I'm surprised that Lynn picked Kerr given they were considering a change of night. Unless of course they weren't expecting him to sign for a Thursday track. It seems the likely other Danes are someone like Bjarne, mads or Michelsen with only the latter being anywhere near worth being happy about.
