Wouldn't be surprised if he is moved on as there isn't a huge amount of value in that average for me. We've got about a dozen in our house not just choccies or sweeties but cosmetics, kiddies books and activities

You are right but I think its probably time to put last year behind us and look forward, Pickering would increase the home scoring and entertainment factor significantly and would be a great signing.

What's Crump's Championship average out of interest?

Lynn did this the other year and it just seemed to wind people up the longer it went on. Understand the concept but not sure it's the best policy nowadays.

That made me laugh I assume that was to do with the irregular shape of the first two bends compared to the opposite end if the track as much as the size. I really don't think age matters any more in speedway, particularly in our leagues. P'boro proved that!

So it's been suggested that it's not about money or averages, one therefore assumes (operative word here) that one of the parties had something they consider better come their way since the initial agreement? All a bit unusual though.

You can more or less piece together every team from the information posted on here so there are few surprises nowadays unless you don't use the internet!

I'd say it's his gain as it is for the majority of riders who sign for them. For one season at least. I just think he had a poor year, extremely underwhelming considering where he was at pre covid. Hopefully two new tracks for him next year will spark a breakthrough.

Too young

Well yes but that wasn't necessarily what I was getting at, it's been suggested that Plymouth have lost a sponsor so one would imagine IF the Lawson story is true then his deal with the Gladiators has probably been reduced in value so he's looked elsewhere. Either that or Poole decided they wanted him and offered him more, who knows. The whole thing might be codswallop but it's fun speculating

I was under the impression P'boro would be keeping their team with a replacement for Pedersen? I'm not so worried about Ostergaards average but more how he has healed from his injuries, he's the kind of rider I could watch every week.

Are Torun's reserves any good, because that top five looks rather handy.

No idea on the details but it seems they fell out years ago and still don't like each other.

So IF he wanted to come back and and IF he hasn't got a gig elsewhere and IF he and Lawson are prepared to put their differences aside Cook would fit. That's probably as good a side as we can hope for.

Iversen Crump Lawson Jorgensen Kerr Thomas/Thompson What would that leave?

Which season was it that Heeps had a bit of a breakthrough, 2017 or 2018? Can remember him guesting for Somerset at Lynn and looking really good, of course every season that passes where he falls below that best season the less likely it is that he'll get back there but you always feel that I'd he gets his head and body in the right place he could be a good rider because the ability is definitely there.

Looks great but won't be anything like that I imagine.

Miaaoowwww

Thought Kasper would be a shoe in too but Radio Norfolk are suggesting the remaining four riders will all be new faces.

Seems like Doyle is off to Ipswich (and Mountain to Sheffield ) so I'd not be surprised if we have a team of leftovers and start as sixth favourites unfortunately, just don't think the financial clout is there to compete for signatures.

Really disappointed if Mountain isn't at Lynn but instead Sheffield as suggested, he should have been Lynn's first name. Sheffield offering more bucks one assumes. No doubt Lynn will end up with the AN Other and therefore the sixth strongest

Back it up then, give us some reasoning and evidence. Otherwise it's just curmudgeonly moaning and groaning.

With more NDL teams next year and Lynn having a few assets riding elsewhere I wonder if the Young Stars might make a return for 2022?

How can you possibly say that without seeing the other teams? I'd say there is all sorts of room for improvement in that team.
