I am still of the impression that he was signed last season on a 3 average and was never used in the Premier League for some reason and the reason I believe was some form of red tape/legal wrangle which could have ment that he did not ride in a UK team last season and secondly I can not see Gary May, Steve Bishop or Debbie Hancock making such a rookie mistake. And if I am right the I hope all you doubters will submit your apologies on here to the Somerset Management. I know that if I am wrong then I will be the first to apologise to you all.....................

I believe that there is a condition that if he takes part in the Aussie rounds before he is signed by a British club and is awarded an assessed average (as a Brit) then he is deemed to riding as an Australian, I am more than likely to be totally off course but it is something that is lurking in the back of the grey matter, but if I am correct then the Somerset management should be congratulated for making such an astute move

Sedgemans downfall came at the hands of Mr Ronnie "The Tango Man" Russell for keeping him in the Swindon team, He did not score enough points to live and maintain his equipment his confidence disintegrated and his head went down and the last thing that needed then was the stress of proving himself to a new team what he needed to do was to go back to Aussie forget all about speedway for a while then start to ride for the fun of it and build up his confidence. Hopefully he has now got his confidence back and can prove to all & sundry that he has got his racing head back on his shoulders. Good luck for the 2014 season Justin

Could it be that Brady Kurtz was actually signed last season on a 3.00 average before he took part in any of the Aussie rounds would he then keep the average that he was signed on : confused.com : maybe Statman can confirm Emilali I do not know what team you support and to be honest I do not care but I am positive that most if not all team managers will test the rules to the limit if you wait a little while then I am sure that a full explanation will be forthcoming or the BSPA will reject the team declaration

Sam Masters final average for 2012 was 7.43 no reduction

Will Sam Masters be back, stranger things have happened before

What is happening at Somerset 3 of the 7 2013 rebels have signed for other teams and they are the ones they should have kept

I was under the impression that rule was revoked as it was deemed unfair to European riders

If I am correct in that Ricky Wells Sheffield average of 7.81 in the final issue of the green sheet averages for the 2013 season and therefore the average that teams can use to build their teams for 2014 without reduction for British riders, then that means that Workington have exceeded the points limit by 0.23 1: Josh Grajczonek 8.41, Rene Bach 7.85, Ricky Wells 7.81, Kyle Howarth 6.86, Mason Compton 4.69, Ashley Morris 4.11, Chris Mills 3.00 = total of 42.73 (42.50 points allowed)

The last average for Christian Henry was 7.07 as an out going rider from Newcastle in issue 34 of the green sheet averages 2013

The final green sheet average for Jason Garrity is 5.45 not 5.32

According to the final green sheet list Jason Garrity has a green average of 5.45 not 5.32 as quoted which gives a total of 41.87 leaving 0.63 points remaining

To make the ruling of 2 National League riders for the Elite League reserve places is ludicrous I can understand the reasoning behind it by giving British riders a chance to improve but the practicalities are out of this world. Most of these riders find it difficult to hold down a Premier League reserve spot let alone an Elite League spot, all that is going to happen is that they are going to lose so many races that their bank balance and their confidence is going take a beating, their heads will drop and there is the possibility that we could lose them to the sport which will result in less British riders available

Not sure about averages but what about something like: Allen 8.09 Bellego 6.36 Smith 7.15 Doolan 7.51 Vissing 6.89 Carr 6.09 J. Anderson 3.97 Total 41.96

I know that this first topic will not interest Elite league fans but I feel that the BSPA are showing double standards over the past few weeks. This week we have seen Michael Lee have his promoters suspended because he was found in possession of a small amount of cannabis for personal use, agreed that Michael has a history of drug use and whilst I do not agree with the use of social drugs what people do in their private lives is up to them provided that they do not put any one else in danger or involve minors in the use then where’s the harm. Yet a few weeks ago while watching footage on Sky Sports we could clearly see that a section of air fence was not secured correctly and in the ensuing incident as an out of control speedway bike went past the air fence that section lifted which allowed the dismounted rider to disappear under the air fence and collide with the Armco behind the air fence causing the rider to sustain some horrific injuries which has cut short his season and ended his world title defence and his earning potential, and the people responsible for this walk free. All riders know that speedway is a very dangerous sport and accept the dangers involved but that does not excuse tracks from being liable for injuries sustained by riders because safety checks had not been made to ensure that all safety equipment fitted was working correctly. I know that I will be shouted down for this post but there is a man that we all know and are proud of that is unable to earn a decent living to provide for his family...

Posted on Twitter this evening by Pontus Aspgren that he is pleased to announce that he has signed for Rye House

I feel that you made this post while still wearing your blinkers. Let’s face it at the end of the day it’s the riders that put life & limb on the line for our entertainment, speedway is dangerous enough at the best of times. If, at your place of work, you were asked to perform a duty where you stood a good chance of being injured you would create merry hell and refuse to do it, so why ask these lads to do it remember that they too have families who worry about them and we have had enough bad injuries and fatalities over the last few years. If anybody should be taken to task then it’s the management and/or the track curator but they were acting on information received about weather conditions – catch 22 situation

I believe that Tom needs to sort his mind out, maybe he should follow James Wright and have a spell away from speedway, refocus and then try again

Good luck tonight at Somerset would ge great to see you get your first away win of nthe 2013 season Stay safe

The smell has mostly dissapeareard because a lot of the riders do not use Castrol "R" these days as it very expensive they now use Newtons which I find burns your eyes or some other product

You never stop moaning, if you don’t like it at the speedway then go to the pub then you can moan about the price of your drinks and how much tax the government take out of you for your drink. What you never seem to get through that geriatric skull of yours is that it costs a lot of money to stage a speedway meeting before a wheel gets onto the track and a lot of these costs can never be recouped and what about the costs to the management for rained off meetings, I think that is in the region of £1000 per rain off. So OT it’s time to make your mind up Speedway where you can have a laugh and meet friends or the pub where again you can meet some friends and it could cost you your license or worse still your liver The choice is yours

Read the post mate "With the asset system on it's ass, what's the point?"

Has everybody left somerset speedway as there have not been any posts since Jan 26th. Was the cracker that good that it has left everybody speechless or was it that bad that nobody wants to mention it

I believe that Exeter Speedway (Manor Delta) own a 25% share in Plymouth Speedway would'nt let us race at westpoint because of the noise, but they are considering allowing pop concerts on the site, one rule for Speedway and a better ruls for everybody else

What a pratt brain in park mouth in reverse
