Yep he won't be old enough until early April.

Mallett, Cockle & Campos have a 'same old' feel to them unfortunately. The other three are exciting young talents and hopefully the seventh rider will fit into that category too. Disappointing not to see local lad Connor Mountain in the side, much more pressure on him at Mouldyhole where he will no doubt be sacked if he doesn't produce the goods.

And presumably Lynn will be Iversen Woffinden Bjerre Schlein Porsing Kerr Rose

I think he means who.

Probably waiting until all details have been finalised before issuing a press release. Just like the new EL race format there's no rush is there

An interesting concept and assuming clashes with other meetings on that weekend can be avoided this sounds like something well worth attending just down the road! Good to see that the Poles recognise the good work Buster does at the NA and the excellent track we are fortunate to have, as well as his skills as a track man.

There are many, many negative words which could be used to describe Michael Lee but I don't think overrated is one of them.

Proctor will miss less than half the meetings that Morris will and his average gives more scope for a guest, seems a no brainer to me. Same for Doyle riding at number one in the EL rather than the PL, had to be done if he has GP aspirations.

No disrespect to those riders but we shouldn't be giving them jobs over British lads who could do just as good a job.

That's innacurate, I'm pretty sure the 2001 ELRC was live on Sky from Owlerton too.

Hancock, dull as dishwater. Pedersen and Fisher, mucky too often. Gollob, couldn't always be arsed.

Eight years ago and then it was dropped, allowing sub standard foreigners like Edberg, Nielsen, Graversen, Barrett, Lykke, Dilger, Helfer etc to ply their trade here instead. Hopefully the PL will follow the EL's lead in 2015.

Lots of risk in this side through people coming back from injury but if those riders can get back to their best this team will score big at home every week and be competitive away, a big if though. Reserves look very good but I think Nielsen will struggle.

I think the match scoring system is the best decision to come out of an AGM for years. No different to bonus points awarded in cricket or rugby, and any system which rewards an away team for not giving up and fighting to the death must be a good thing.

I don't think Boxall's ability has ever been an issue, its his application and machinery which have let him down in the past. If everything clicks for him this year he could be one of the leagues top men.

Well done to him but its never sat well with me that somebody can clean up in the qualifying heats and not win the meeting.

I'm sure it was mentioned at the time by Rob that some of his riders had been tapped up and he was a little disillusioned by it all as well as struggling to track a side because of the aforementioned tapping.

Good idea by Newcastle to keep everybody informed with a giant scorecard. Over the years through rider interviews at tracks and on telly its apparent that many don't always know the score from race to race but I think its better if they do.

Have heard a rumour that Matt Tress may be on standby to take his place.........

What has stopped the Heathens stepping up out of intetest? Is it a case of every spare penny going towards a new stadium fund? Its such a shame as both the club and Monmore Green would be an asset to the PL. As it is the NL is a very lopsided league which is realistically a two horse race. Primarily its about youth development for me and its great to see plenty of youngsters getting their chance.

I don't think Dryml will clean up but he should prove to be a very reliable heat leader.

Laugh all you like but at least he earned his GP reserve spot on track rather than relying on a handout. I think Dryml will do well in the PL and P'boro look very competitive indeed.

Don't think J-Lo will ever ride again, completely smashed his ankles up and broke his back a couple of years ago at Scunny. Used to ride Owlerton bloody well though.

I've not disappeared Starman, but I've kind of given up because you can't back up the claims that you are making.

No, in March FFS............
