It’s difficult to know. Lynn with Bomber at reserve should in theory have the strongest reserves. But nobody is quite sure at the moment which direction Boughen is heading. Jenkins looks the strongest rising Star to me, and Dan averaged over 5 (with bonus points) riding most of the season at number 2. He’s not likely to move out of the reserve berth this time with the top 5 we have so the reserves look a potent pairing. There’s no obvious weakness anywhere in the team really.

Nobody else is risking it though Shano! Of course they must be confident, and a limit of 40 must have been agreed in principle, but it’s only ever official once it’s confirmed at the AGM itself which doesn’t even begin until tomorrow. To my knowledge, this is the first time in British Speedway history that a club has announced their full septet before the Annual Conference.

Agree. Don’t see the issue personally. Makes total sense what you’re doing.

He’s an obvious Troll. People should stop feeding him.

Think Oxford will be Lynn’s biggest threat for 4th. Be interesting to see whether they take full advantage of Janowski’s low average. Potential is there to build a powerful side.

We do have an issue there it can’t be denied, but we had a similar issue at Sheffield before putting that right this year. Think we’ll get it right sooner or later and make a better fist of things.

Ellis averaged more than Rew this year. Ellis 19 meetings, GSA of 5.90, Rew 23 meetings GSA 5.58.

Belle Vue have made one change, it’s an enforced change dictated by the points limit. If the limit had been raised to 41, they would have kept the exact same team and not swapped out Ben for Zach Cook. Anyway, Birmingham thread. Let’s just wait and see who they reveal before everyone feels sorry for them.

Yes he is.

Bellend.

Danny won’t fall off any cliff.

Teams are building to 40. Belle Vue certainly have. So if it’s the same team again, we’re well under and would be disappointing. We’d effectively have Dan on his true average and not benefited from his 25% reduction. Not sure if we’ll get one more tomorrow, but if we do it’ll be Doyle. Gonna have to wait until next week for the final rider or two. We usually make one change, so I’ll be surprised if it’s the same 7.

Well that’s put a spoke in the pigeon!

Difficult decision to make for them I’d assume but needs must. They are worst hit unbelievably in having to shed points. Over two points over so Howarth for Lawson seems the stand out option to sneak back in under the limit. It does make them look a bit unremarkable though. They’ll have their work cut out making the top four with that team IMO.

For what it’s worth I believe it was Brennan Doyle and Rew completing the team but things can, and often do change so we’ll have to wait and see. We won’t know the full team until later next week.

We’ll be doing the odd Monday here and there, but the majority of home meetings at Ipswich will be Thursdays.

Can’t argue with any of that in truth. It is a risky one as they’re banking on more surgery correcting the problem but as you rightly say, there’s no guarantees. Fingers crossed.

It’s the AGM next week, I can’t see them announcing all seven until after that. I could be wrong, but I think they’ll hold at least one back until the completion of the conference just in case something unexpected happens at the 11th hour with the points limit.

Nah can’t be that one Phil. Clubs don’t announce riders signing for others before the signing club announced it themselves. You could be right on the first one though 😁
