Completely agree. Shanes gets fans through the door whereas Clifton doesn't, and they both have probably the same amount of average improvement potential.

If they want to be competitive come September then they should manipulate their team building to get Hunter at reserve st the start of the season.

What he should've done is waited until after the AGM, because it's clear the Bowen wouldn't have signed elsewhere anyway.

Johnson has retired & Carr is ineligible for NL.

How frustrating!

Is there even a need for a new logo?

Burton to be announced tomorrow?

Cradley seem to think that he'll get fixed up elsewhere. So he must still be giving it a go.

The top 4 (including Jenkins) should provide enough heat winners to beat enough bottom half teams away to give them a play-off spot. Add to that 6 of their likely 7 have been previous Feb Tigers, they'll be very strong at home. Admittedly Ruddick and Parker won't be strong reserves, but they're definitely not useless either and have done enough laps round West Row to be alright all season and in the play-offs.

You mean Emerson Jones.

Brennan to Eastie, Jenkins to Mildenhall, Bickley to BV and, to a lesser extent, Lawlor to Cradley. It doesn't look like Brum will be able to match those despite having Zach last year and the Jacks this year.

Sounds plausible.

It'll be a strong top 4 but I'm struggling to see where the potential from reserve is going to come from.

If Lakeside charge £15 then it'll seriously affect the pricing structure of the league and British Speedway as a whole. The gaps in prices between the leagues are small anyway but a jump of £2 minimum and £4 compared to some teams is massive. Fans at clubs won't routinely pay £15 for NL, which in turn pushes up Championship prices and puts Premiership prices over £20.

Who do you think will sign?

How many points do KL have left?

Exactly, the potential is there and he's on a handy average. He's a far better signing than a 3.00 novice who isn't really ready.

Kinsley is very good at home. He just needs to master his away form.

Shanes at number 1?

Morley is 9.22 & Zach is 8.59. 12.98 left for the final 3 so you could go with 3 pointers at reserve and Nathan Stoneman.

Atkins might not be on Jenkins' level but will still be one of the better 3.00 riders.

Fair point. I would've suggested Burton & Hopwood but with Lawlor no longer a 3.00 that puts the side over the limit. However the Cradley site says the team was going to be a bit under the limit anyway. So maybe something like Burton and Dwyer.

As expected, Dan Greenwood is confirmed. This team is looking strong so far.

Assets don't really have an obligation to ride for their side and what reduced average are you referring to?

Cradley confirm that Lawlor's average will be slightly above 3.00.
