Again there’s one on my Twitter @NLSpeedway

It should be under my post if you’re looking on a laptop but it’s www.twitter.com/NLSpeedway

There’s one on my Twitter. The link is in my signature.

Steph Whitlock rides for Isle of Wight Wizards.

So Tom Perry signed a contract but got let down as his average didn’t fit! His average is lower than Bacon & Davey and Hume signed months ago, so was the original plan to have them as a top 4?? Top heavy alright! All I can think is they thought the average limit would go up at the AGM, but if Birmingham changed their mind on Perry that long ago then you would’ve thought he would’ve found a team place when others were still building there’s.

Just like Coventry did when they named the only team he’s ridden for: Mercia Vikings.

In reality though, they’re only going to get 3 rides a meeting and based on previous Brummies teams he probably won’t last the season.

Phillips has proven that he can be amongst the points in the Championship, whereas the other 2 haven’t. Surely it’s a no brainer?!

Dicken is an intriguing signing cos he’s not pulled up any trees other than in name yet he’s managed to get rides at 2 big clubs. Belle Vue have proved in the past that they’re willing to give riders time.

They must already know/have who they want to give Roberts a number 8 role.

Fortunately for the Potters, they’ve managed to strengthen the side due to Chessell & Lakeside’s demise.

You are correct. Perks’ average rules him out.

Knight or Mountain surely? Then they’ll have an out and out number 1 as well. Unless they’re too young haha.

Whilst I agree that they should both be on a 2.00, hasn’t the opposite happened to Clegg at Rye?

I can see Mildenhall & Eastbourne making the play-offs with the other 2 being from Kent, Birmingham & Belle Vue. Then Coventry & Plymouth in midtable. Meanwhile the bottom end will be Isle of Wight, Buxton & Stoke.

If not literally the strongest, he’ll be in the top 3 with Roynon & JPB.

He’s about the best option out there!

With only 4 team places left to fill, how do people predict the teams will get on?

Surely Lewis Rose will be one of them so no number 1.

Exactly so just because multiple guests happen already, doesn’t mean it should be actively encouraged. Not that it’s Cradley’s fault for choosing the best riders.

So only 1 and a bit seasons after Etheridge was described as one of the worst second tier riders ever, he manages to get a top flight spot!

Dwyer signing changes things. Under previous season’s rules all riders have to have a permanent spot but something must have changed to allow the Dwyer signing. So riders out of work, like Bowtell, could have got a NL ride. Also NT meetings don’t count towards an average, so how will he get a 2018 average?

It’s on the confirmed signings thread but Roynon, Jenkins, Bickley, Kemp & Edwards with 9.47 left.

They can still fit in a duo like Joe Lawlor & Taylor Hampshire. Imagine that as a pair of reserves in the final.

Fantasy league speedway continues... Of course they’re going to pick the best team they can but it’s making the Northern section a bit pointless.
