Now the top 7 is confirmed Swindon will start as massive favourites with a way stronger top 4 than Sheffield.

Who is missing Poole already? Nah me neither.

I’ll take all the credit then Bruno. But fair play to you although I’m pretty sure you are in a very small minority. Where I stand there are regularly Heathens fans who shout for the opposition. They hate us! I think Cradley fans would turn up to see Greg Although still wear their Heathens coats lol. For long-standing fans of both clubs there will never be another rivalry like it. So it’s hard for any newer fans to fully understand just how bitter that rivalry was. I never shouted once for Billy in those 2 years he was with us. He would be referred to as ‘the rider in blue’

Me too. It’s already been indicated he is likely to sign. He is a vital part of the future.

Because it’s not confirmed If he is or isn’t yet other than people posting he isn’t.

It’s all assumption at the moment. Its assumed both will be signing which goes against the usual team planning by building 2 points below the limit. So it’s fair to suggest one of them might sign with a stronger number one. Time will tell but at this stage nothing is certain, not to mere fans.

As previously discussed I’m only quoting what Rosco said last week who said it was ‘rubbish’ that Musielak wouldn’t be back.

If he said something in a Swindon programme then that might be different. Just quoting Rosco in last weeks speedway star saying it was ‘rubbish’. Exactly, he may come back. Rosco said so.

Some people really don’t do the simplest of things by reading for themselves.

You are at least 50% right.

Rosco says it’s rubbish that Tobias said he isn’t racing here next season.

It would only be bizarre if JT and SM sign. Looking forward to getting a clearer idea.

Wether it was a documented rule or not it was mentioned by some of the top flight promoters prior to the new season in interviews. Another of the many ‘it’s not really a rule but will do it anyway’ rules that that the committee seem to invent or ignore (delete as applicable)

That’s assuming that hasn’t changed! They said in the press release little had changed however its apparent they have dropped the 1 over 8 rule (Swindon) and no rider under 3 (Rowe).

One of if the points limit is to be reached. Not bothered which.

I thought the same about Pedersen . Worse average than either Masters or Thorssell and dreadful at Monmore. Looking at his average not great anywhere either.

It wasn’t hard was it?

You have to look at the likes of Zach Wajtknecht at Swindon, and some others in the championship who ‘retired’ early because their confidence was shot. I’m all for pushing youngsters at the highest level but it really can be a double edged sword.

I saw that photoshop too.

I’m not a fan either but if it’s a big name has to be good.

That’s what the general consensus seems to be, however still can’t see why we would build 2 points below the points limit as the only outstanding rationale.

Good to see a young Brit been given a chance in reserve. Is it too early for his career tho? Good luck young Anders.

Kildemand I think needs the UK league right now to try rebuild his career so hopefully for him he gets to do a good job here. Yes I do think Hancock could be the surprise. Going with both young Americans at reserve it makes sense. Ordinarily I’d say Greg would be one of the last to do a full season here, Ditto Pedersen. So just maybe it’s possible. Id still prefer Fred.

Pretty much agree with all that. Still a decent side if that but why 2 points under the limit? Seems odd.

Time will tell I guess. Who thought Nicki P And Kildemand would be back? Id agree riders of that standard usually have no interest in riding here and I’ve been banging that drum the past few years. I really think the switch to Eurosport has perked up the ears of some of the riders as they know they will get extra exposure and I think that’s more to do with NP and PK coming back than money. id prefer Freddie but can’t see it happening. I’d like Zmarzlik but it won’t happen. I have a sneaking feeling it’s Greg, and there is as much chance of him coming as Nicki P. Ive never known our management build 2 points below the limit before (if it’s Jacob and Sam) so it makes perfect sense that it’s a big hitter.
