totally disagree.As the 2nd tier in British Speedway the PL should be about building a platform for emerging British riders to progress. Filling it with ageing foreign former EL riders will just inhibit that.

absolutely agree although you could argue Adam spent a fair time at heat leader position as well.Also think there should be priority on Brits particularly younger/less experienced but if that means he retains his 4.67 I think it would be unfair. Dont want the PL won by the team finding the best ringer - dont want to copy the EL. The PL shouldnt be for the likes Batch Bjerre Schlein Watt etc to use on their way down.... Thats the part that needs to be addressed.

so 7.84 if current 1.4 conversion retained.Which is IMO a decent reflection of his true standing now if he were to return to the PL.

Adam Ellis has been highlighted on a number of threads as the potential super signing on his 4.67 (rightly so IMO) but having not ridden PL for 2 full seasons and this year obtaining an official EL average surely he would be on a ridiculous converted figure???? Is he even under 6 in EL and elligible at all (without a rule change)

What we need is Danny and Sarj to bang in a heat 1 5-1 sending Sam into a sulk and Fisher into a rage and then all will be well.......

The Witches are bringing a big fat permanent marker as a mascot tomorrow.....

perhaps she would come along,join the massif and play her flute for us....

i was thinking of - fat and no....

2 chances....

Expect the Monarchs to win but not by enough. Need a good start to settle any nerves and put it to bed early. If we start poorly and are say 20-10 down after 5 anything can happen. It becomes a mental battle as much as riding skill then. Will go for 52-38.

baby rattles - could be a theme! wink

Dont they call them artistic differences in certain circles?! wink. The lull before the storm!! A week wait for the 2nd leg of the play off so any possible semi has at least a 2 week gap. No one wants to tempt fate and go on about plans for a semi until its properly sewn up.

basically they need to so the same to the Witches as they did to the Panthers.Surely we can manage two more points than the team put out by the pussycats even if things dont go entirely our own way.... If not we deserve nothing anyway. A solid start is the key - dont even give them a sniff of hope.

come on ive been very good lately and not joined in the 'fun'. Apologies for missing off the wink to show it was just light hearted banter. I hope Ged sticks with you actually. Some stability is good for all clubs and Pboro need some right now. If not its another winter of uncertainty which no one really wants - even those that have the odd dig.....

very good value 3rd heat leader for Ged at his new club.......

The Fish binning it again under pressure from the NL wobbler - becoming a bit if a habit!! lol

Always good to meet new people - sometimes you just get on like youve known them for a while...

Great atmosphere again last night. Enjoyed seeing a heat from the centre green whilst presenting Kevin with the 'Massif Trophy' Hope the riders werent put out that we decided to award it to the presenter but we felt that you couldnt under estimate the impact a good mic man (and Kevin is one of if not the best IMO) can have on the event. Kevin has been superb in highlighting our efforts,encouraging others to get involved and generally helping get the atmosphere buzzing. All of the riders deserve a trophy too of course - go out and make it the PL one fellas!!

echo that Connor was superb - what an effort. Shame for him he let a few points slip (had he held position wouldve been 7+3) but he can be so proud. Beat Wolbert and Fisher - not bad for starters! Shows why the PL needs to stick with the No7 plan or indeed extend it. Give them a chance and some will shine.

Cant see that Fishers points money will cover the fines. Riding at the start team and onto the centre green through all the flags and tapes was mindless stupidity. Presumably he will be billed for a replacement pits phone as well....

Dreamland......

The Scotsman is very much his own man. He may sit with us at Ippo and chat as the friend he is but he is very clear on where his support lies.... ...often it will be with the opposition! Still very welcome all the same.

nothing too heavy though from forecasts ive seen.Hopefully will leave a perfect surface....

I think we need 16+ lead to have real confidence. 10-16 even stevens. Under 10 Monarchs in the driving seat. If pushed Id go for 51-39 putting it right in the balance....

I bet you're the life and soul at a party..... wink
