Awful luck for Brendan and my best wishes on a speedy recovery! I was sure he was going to be a great captain because he loves the club, so its unfortunate that I won't see him race this season Also he's said today that his op has been rescheduled for next week in Poole.

Yeah they practice at KL I believe.

I'm not sure about that, I'll have to refer it to the MC to see if it's in the best interests of the sport

I'll allow you a guest

PL fixtures always have priority over NL fixtures, regardless of who owns him and who signed him first.

He's taking a year out. I think his partner has had a child if I remember rightly.

Scorpions riding order has Davies at 3, Holub 4 & Douglas at 5.

When does Kyle Bickley turn 15?

Tbf he isnt a 6 point man, is he, he came back mid season last year after a year or so out and then got injured. He's a 7 to 8 really really and has ridden in the Premier League before. How many NL '6 point men' have done that? Plus put him on a track with as good a home track advantage as Arlington and his average will only go up, he might not be a world beater but it's a good signing nevertheless.

1. Dan Greenwood 8.29 (Coventry) 2. Tom Bacon 4.42 (Birmingham) 3. Danny Ayres 7.05 (Kent) 4. Jake Knight 6.00 (Eastbourne) 5. Ellis Perks 7.14 (Isle of Wight) 6. Jack Smith 3.00 (Birmingham) 7. Shelby Rutherford 3.50 (Buxton) Total: 39.40

Someone started this thread in 2014 and it was fairly popular, even though no-one did it last year. So the rules are: build a team to a 40.00 limit, with a max of 2 riders from any 1 team, and the winner is the person who's team has the highest total average at the end of the season! Go Edit: I'll include my attempt once I've decided a team!

Is SEC really that popular with Eastbourne fans that they lose so much money running against it, that they're prepared to not run in the middle of summer when clubs usually get their largest crowds?

Ive put them on the Facebook group.

Speedway ignores laws/rules like that. Think about the original NL to PL double-up rule that was restricted to under 25s which surely breaks the law by preventing riders over that age by earning a wage in both. Simon Lambert at the start of last season is a good example of this.

Who could they realistically sign? The return of Lyager maybe.

This team will really take some stopping! The league in general looks fairly even (the obvious 3 are definitely the strongest 3 imo) but this side looks truly brilliant!! There's bags of improvement in this team and and some real talents which should make it good to watch too.

His current PL average is 3.00 which I makes him eligible for the number 7 role, so I guess he'd come in on a 6.00 but it's a unique case.

Why's Boxall left?

My prediction: 1. Birmingham 2. Cradley 3. Eastbourne 4. King's Lynn --- 5. Mildenhall 6. Coventry 7. Kent 8. Isle of Wight 9. Belle Vue 10. Buxton 11. Stoke 12. Rye House

Ipswich say loan fee.

Am I the only one confused his Hume's role at Ipswich now? Witches have paid a loan fee, so he's not an asset, but they already have their NL number 7 in Ritchings so will he just turn up to practice etc? But he could do that without a loan fee, like he did last season!

The team was signed ages ago when Rutherford's average was over a point higher.

Why do you think IOW will finish top 2?

Fixtures should be out next month. Now that the EL & PL fixtures are confirmed they can go ahead and plan dates that don't clash. I know that as of earlier this week there hadn't been the first draft sent to clubs yet. Though the first date you mention is half-term isn't it, so I'd be pretty confident that there's a fixture on that date!

So you understand it that the job share role is between Lawson & Kennett? Therefore making Swiderski a full-time member.
