Who really knows where or how far our young riders can go. The two stand out riders are Lambert and Bewley. Lambert has some decent experience of riding abroad something that young riders need to experience as much as they can possible get and I can see him getting in or getting close to GP place. Bewley has a riding style that suits the foreign tracks and I can see him kicking on and challenging for a GP place. But a lot will come down to finance, how much the rider really wants it and how dedicated they are, the latter two are only the riders themselves know.

With Stuart Robson having his farewell meeting could the new Promoter be him.

On a personal level I would welcome Jason coming back into British speedway, even after a long retirement I think he could do a reasonable job, and even at the age he is I think that he would put bums seats as I think that people would be curious to see what he can and what he cannot do. Realistically I don't think that he would or want to make a comeback to ride in British speedway, I think that he will come over to the UK and his focus will be helping his son onwards with his with his career. Those who believe that they will let Jason if he want to make a comeback on 5 point average a living in cloud cuckoo land, I reckon anything between 7 or 8 points assessed average would be more likely. Its a nice thought that he might be contemplating a racing comeback, but honestly I doubt that it will happen, but as they say never say never.

could the new rider never to ride in the Uk be the 46 year old Norwegian turned Pole.

Very sad news yesterday to hear of the passing of Danny Ayres. One of the very few Characters and Entertainers in modern day British speedway. He was never going to be a World Champion or a World class rider, but he understood the giving good value to supporters and fans. I wonder if the BSPA would consider re-naming the British Final Trophy the Danny Ayres Memorial Trophy in his honour. Rest in Peace Danny.

How do you get Peterborough 4th, they only have 4 riders signed.

Right here we go (1) Belle Vue (2) Wolves (3) Ipswich (4) Sheffield (5) Swindon (6) Kings Lynn (7) Peterborough

As a team one trophy last season. Hardly a flood.

Surprised not to see Todd Kurtz (5.43) getting a mention for the Poole line up a proven middle order rider in the Championship. Mind you would leave you with only around 3.54 for the last rider. Riders left over are on or round that figure Alfie Bowtell Connor Coles Ryan Kingsley Jack Smith Danny Phillips Or if not Kurtz, Lasse Bjerre (5.87) is still without a club.

I don't think you will find any Championship club charging £14, most are around £16.

On paper you have to say the the Diamonds are looking like they are in for a hammering this season. But you have to remember they were late with team building and gave every other team a head start in team building. At Sheffield we went through a similar problem with the new promotion and we pieced together a team from what riders were left. Hopefully fans will be understand and stick with the team this year and judge the Promotion on their team building next season where they will start on an even playing field.

The Nicki P comment made me smile, that was 2011, a lot of water has gone under the bridge since then. For the record Nicki averaged 8.61, in far stronger league than this season. And also for the record last season in weaker league than 2011 only 3 riders averaged more than 8.61. Doyle 8.96 Batchelor 8.82 Fricke 8.81 And Fricke isn't riding in the league next season. I have to say I admire your optimism.

For me Belle Vue are the title favourites with that team.

That is over the 42.5 points limit.

Fair enough they are lucky I don't think it would work with most clubs though.

Brave move by the Ipswich Promotion to announce season tickets on sale before a rider signing announcement.

Hopefully putting the Auty v Kurtz to bed here a couple facts and stats Fact Josh has clearly stated that he has no interest in riding in the Premiership, it would appear that he has found his limit and his contented to stick with Scunthorpe Out of all of the riders in the Championship who finished as the teams number 1 rider Josh had lowest away average, and the difference between home and away averages he had the second highest difference. Stats Since Todd joined Sheffield Todd has raced Josh 8 times. Of those 8 race Todd scored 13 points and Josh scored 10 Todd beat Josh on 6 of those 8 occasions. And finally Todd is an asset of Sheffield speedway so loan fee require, and with the signing of Nicki Pedersen balancing the books could have come into play with bringing into the team.

Anders Thomsen would be a very astute signing, but has he said he want to do the UK. Mikkel Bech is a more likely signing.

I only go on who has officially signed.

Stefan Nielsen a number 1. Since when?

But for the time being your not, why not concentrate on the league that you will be competing in.

Is it not time that someone turned the lights out down in Poole.

Team so far and their averages Nicki Pedersen 8.61 Jack Holder 7.49 Josh Grajczonek 7.29 Kyle Howarth 5.72 (2.5% British Reduction) 5.58 Todd Kurtz 4.00 Ashley Morris 3.32 (2.5% British Reduction) 3.24 Total 36.21 Total points left 6.29
