has everyone seen this im sure theres a few workington fans that would like to help and also im sure cookie will appriciate the support

theres more than berwick in same position

which way i see the berwick team is that they have a team with most the riders around the same average so the balance of the team is going to be the same whoever moves in or out the reserve berth now yes theres no big heat leaders but they have decent riders for there averages how many times does a team turn up at an away track and a 2nd string puch abover there weight and give the away team a big boost if you look at it that way berwick might just shock a few teams who underestimate them i just hope if they do give a few teams a nice wee surprise its the smug ones who have the backing to go out and have first pick of riders

im sure kyle allready knows where he will be ridding next year

nice to see rob shutleworth signing for stoke hope he gets some confidence back and progresses in time to another attempt in this league

not a newcastle fan but same goes for all fans regardless of which team suerly its more important to track down and get the right riders rather than just getting the team announced as quick as possible

i agree with most you say andrew appleton was a big loss to the sport chris neath well good rider on the tracks he went well on but awfull on some away tracks i was told by someone with strong rider links that klindt was recomended last year and i was very pleased he wasnt inclueded ill still reserve judgement for 2018 but its not a signing id have wanted before hand

its no seceret that comets over the last few years are running on a budget and being supported from the owners own pocket on the grounds above the teams thats been built have been good in my opinion its only a few other behind the scean issues holding speedway back at workington with the exception of klindt who im undiceded on ive no problem at all with the other 4 in fact im happy with them

pleased the news has been released about kyle so the person who claims they have seen the contract and new for sure that kyle had allready signed must have a crystal ball that shines 2 months ahead so wonder if they have also seen the conract for the new no1 i dont expect kyle to be on the pace straight away but like last year i think hell develope slowely but steadily

the thing here is people seem to forget that a entertaining team can get away with some poor results and most of the time the fans will only see them at home which most of the time edinburgh can make good teams look mediocre

im no edinburgh fan by a long way but i fully understand that a below average looking side can turn out to be a title winning team boosted by the confidence they gain with the track advantage id never underestimate edinburgh as a team and i certainly wouldnt underestimate the 2 riss brothers from what i saw last year and also know ricky wells is usually a reliable rider

my opinion of rob lambert is he has the most natural talant weve seen for very long time the thing i see that will hold him back or stop him making it to world champion is 1 i dont think hes dedicated enough to go the extra inch just reliying on his natural talant and 2 there could be outside influence that interfiers like the rumours a couple of years ago when he was missing meetings (peterborough maybe )

thanks for the info

you mean like other clubs do almost every year when a rider they want signs for another club we cant sign him because team x poached him from us thats how it goes aint it but it is comon in speedway to know where a rider is going a long time before its anounced by the club themselves

would be nice to have the site up and running again but current promotion would have to change id think unless someone starts there own up

you can say whatever you want mate aslong as you dont break any laws we all like a bit of banter and a little half hearted wind ups sometimes you cant actually say what you know to protect people or delicate situations but can hint at things see who responds

come on jenga dont want them all thinking youve gone soft do you

i do know the bickleys right up to great grandad i slso know what and who i mean that may be the one to spoil it for the lads options speedway is a funny sport sponsors and teams turn there backs on riders for sometimes the smallest of reasons

BICKLEY, Kyle DATE OF BIRTH: 27 February 2002, Whitehaven, Cumbria. BRITISH CAREER: (2017) Belle Vue II. MAJOR HONOURS: British 125cc Champion: 2013, 2014; 125cc FIM Longtrack Gold Trophy Champion: 2014, 2015; British 500cc Champion: 2016. CLUB HONOURS: League Championship winner: 2017 [Belle Vue II]. so it looks like we have to wait till end of feb before we know where kyle is going

so if hes riding poland on a sunday he wont be riding any championship speedway as hes allready riding premiership and signed for danish side aswell

unfortunatley i can see young bickley becoming a rider like robert lambert or william lawson plenty of talant but poor advisors/management

theres a few around workington saying the same thing even now when glasgow have 7 riders listed but thats not what im led to believe

dosnt look a bad team really but not sure how acurate it will be only time will tell or another teams fans maybe

but dont tell redcar fans they still think hes going there

wouldnt be surprised if the on track racing between matt and mason had something to do with it
