Aw well at least some good has come from it (joke)

Is your name on the list?

Cheers Iris - I was expecting you may have seen a bit more of him than me! There is that question mark over him - as you say highly rated from a young age but very quiet in the last vouple of years (certainly in speedway terms anyway) If he replicates Tobi he will do fine. Tobi is still very popular with many Ipswich fans having fond memories of his time as a Witch.

Iris - what would be your assessment of Haertel? Us Witches fans are looking forward to seeing him. How does he compare to the Riss brothers and Huckebeck in your eyes?

Or staged......

Ron was 80

Strong indications that the SCB will overturn the BSPA decision to exclude the over 6 riders from the Championship

Tend to agree with you given the position as it stands but... The devils advocate position is perhaps the 1 at 8 and over rule shouldve been in the Championship rather than the top league

Would be a travesty if Nathan didnt get a Championship place. He was fantastic at Ipswich in 2017 Plenty more improvement in him I think

All the teams currently show under rider announcements with no averages quoted and with the caveat re ratification Once confirmed this will change on the website to 2018 team declarations with the average applied and a team total

Clegg's Championship average was 4.15 divide by 1.3 conversion means his Premiership average should be 3.19

Not ratified yet.....

Shanes v Shanes - 2018 would be an upgrade. Need to factor that in as well

Just need to find the cowboy and the construction worker now.....

I dont know - Peterborough manage it year in year out

1 Glasgow 2 Sheffield 3 Ipswich 4 Redcar 5 Scunthorpe 6 Workington 7 Lakeside 8 Edinburgh 9 Newcastle 10 Peterborough 11 Berwick Very open and therefore difficult to predict. Many are putting the same teams towards the bottom end and although I have done the same I dont see any team being truly adrift. Mid season changes could easily turn the whole league on its head and as ever (unfortunately) injuries may have as big a say as any other factor. Best of luck to all and heres hoping for a great season of great racing everywhere.

Only Billy Janniro Max Ruml and Broc Nicol would qualify for a visa Ruml or Nicol would be a great signing

But not yet officially accepted....

Could just mean he is waiting for his pre booked sunbed confirmation

He has too now - he is in BSF 'jail' for 24 hours

How is he gonna ride the meetings needed to do that then when he is not in the team?

I have just received some very sad news My wife spoke with his son Matt today who told her that his father Ron Bagley has passed away A true legend of the Witches rebirth - RIP

Spoilsport I was enjoying the fact that the name of the man that runs the spares van at Foxhall was more interesting/important than the pussycat team

Ive seen it mentioned Clegg will be a 2 (when he shouldnt be) Think that is part of the reason Rye are not complete - still up in the air perhaps

Whatever the confusion is over his name one thing I am certain of is that Scotts dad doesnt have a Premiership average over 6 So if Ged wants to give him a call Ray/Tom is elligible. Come to think of it he could fill both spaces
