Bacon and Bates? IMO the scheme should be concentrating on our U21 riders, with all due respect to those two they are never going to be anywhere near international standard.

I’d quit while you’re behind if I were you, flagrag actually knows what he/she is talking about.

Do we know who the other four are to go with Kemp and Brennan?

Not a lot between them at the moment from what I’ve seen and of course Rowe appears not to be a rising star pick. It’s a reserve pairing at Ippo which is going to be the envy of many.

Was a mistake.....should have said Riss rather than Cook.

Monmore is about twice the width of Arlington Many who attend Eastbourne regularly enjoy their speedway and I respect that but it’s without doubt the worst racetrack I’ve been to, far too narrow and tight.

Lynn in 1997 the same.....joined the EL at the eleventh hour and ended up having a really good season (Wigg, Parker, Brhel, Topinka, Hurry, Ermolenko, Tacey)

With respect I do t think any rider who signed up for 2020 can have too much complaint if they are not required in 2021 with all that has happened in between.

As has been said only Morris himself can possibly know if that was accidental or he intentionally nailed him, looks from the video like a racing incident and no doubt the consequences for McAllan sharpened people’s feelings who were there. If he gets up and walks away feelings would run nowhere near as high.

I think we will see more doubling up this year rather than less as the pool of riders who can / wish to ride in the UK is going to be smaller and getting in and out of the country is likely to be challenging for a while yet.

Will be interesting to see what the track is like this season, we were told it was to be much slicker this time last year so one assumes that might be the case again, which will automatically improve the action.

I would like to think that Bridger has many less issues than Lee did.

I don’t think ‘excited’ is the right word but I’m more intrigued about this signing than any other Lynn are likely to make as it could go one of two ways, the rest of the top six are riders who have been here and who we know all about.

Lol knew I shouldn’t have bothered.

I think you need to get used to that, not going to be an awful lot between the leagues in terms of team strengths this year. Gonna be an awful lot of doubling up too.

Three months until the season starts, a lot can change in that time and probably will. Ultimately though whatever Poland decides is what everyone else will have to abide by.

You think losing MPT and gaining Bjarne is being screwed over? Much of a muchness but I think Panthers have slightly the better deal.

Cook MPT Jorgensen Kerr Proctor Bridger Rising Star

We’ve received a reply which is fair enough (Cook still in plans) but as Andrew points out deleting posts which aren’t abusive etc is a dangerous path to go down.

To fill a Riss shaped hole presumably.

Said Facebook comments now been deleted by the club so read into that what you will!

Somebody on Facebook suggesting that today’s Speedway Star states no Cook, is this the case?

Kemp has to be the rising star surely? Strange that Rowe isn’t one though.

Why are people talking about an app like it’s just something to use on race night? As an example consider the Premier League and Moto GP apps, they are packed with stuff to keep people interested in between matches / race weekend so that when the next event comes around people are champing at the bit to be there or watch it however they can. Interviews, gossip, facts and figures, fantasy league etc etc. There is so much that technology can offer people when they aren’t at a speedway meeting, with perhaps a scorecard and a little bit of interaction on race night. People can still buy a paper programme if they want but why not offer a digital version too? Like it or not we are in a digital / smartphone age and if speedway wants to even begin to think about having a future then embracing that is absolutely vital.
