Cockle, Bailey & Kinsley sign http://www.speedwaygb.co/news.php?extend.27994

Criminal that Ellis can't get a PL spot while there is foreign rubbish being allowed to ride on sub five/six/seven point averages.

Like Arson says there are probably half a dozen decent teams but for me Sheffield look the best, assuming Proctor signs and Sissis doesn't flunk. Lots of improvement in their side.

And surely Sheffield?

Has the makings of a very good side if they get the reserves right.

Wasn't allowed due to being on an assessed average. Its a rule which needs looking at for the future if a young Brit has the balls and talent to go straight into the EL at 16.

I'm not keen on people bigging the boy up too much but by the same token you seem to have made your mind up about him negatively based on very limited experience of watching him race. I believe he has as much natural ability as Woffinden and Ward at the same age BUT he has a long way to go to emulate them. I think it's best if people leave him be to develop at his own pace and have an open mind about what he can achieve given time.

Great signing for all three parties.....Robert gets more racing to help his development, which should in turn help Lynn and P'boro get a fantastic young signing who should attract plenty of Lynn fans to help with attendances. Looking forward to seeing Robert strut his stuff round the best track in the UK.

In theory anyone other than King & Tungate could end up at reserve ensuring two strong ones all season. Even though there will be less fanfare than before I think this team could quietly do rather well. Must make the Foxhole a fortress though, it's what successful teams are built on.

I'd say that's significantly better than Lanham & Jacobs.

Who are the last two then?

Morley and Halsey are small track men and the latter has been around for an awful long time without getting any better. I'd have thought someone like Greaves, Kingston or Stokes would be a better bet, they are only ever going to improve.

I think he has British parent(s).

I wouldn't get caught calling them that by a Forest fan! Nott'm the only abbreviation permitted

I think Sheffield will be the team to beat IF they complete with Proctor & Poole and Sissis is as good as most people expect.

Are Cook and Masters both likely to return? Like the look of those reserves, both could stick a couple of points on their figures once dialed in to Armadale.

And the coat! Like something out of Grease

Hmmmm these revelations put a different complexion on things. Would be nice to hear they other side of the story, and ultimately a statement from the governing body to clear the matter up one way or the other. ()

Great side on paper with stacks of improvement in it, however Sheffield's likely team looks slightly better to me.

Let's hope common sense prevails then as he is exactly the type of rider who doubling up should be for.

Fair enough. I think inconsistency and moments of immaturity are often par for the course for young riders, but if I was a regular at a PL track I'd want to see talents like Lambert, Sissis, Holder, Kurtz etc as they put bums on the edge of seats.

Each to their own of course but may I ask why?

While I appreciate that some people will go to speedway to watch the racing come what may, I think it's understandable that the enthusiasm of others gets eroded by the rules and their application, non application and bending. For some a level playing field is essential in the first instance and I can understand why those people might stop going in its absence.

Is that a joke? Unfortunately Bridger is one of the biggest wastes of talent I've seen in thirty years of watching speedway. Will never fulfill his potential now.
