Mr Blobby

It could also be Gollob! Has he given up the GP to make his dream come true and become the bandits number 1?

End of the day the team that has been picked is a risk! It could go 2 ways riders like Max, Justin, steve push on and add 1 point each onto their averages and it's all looking good if not we will struggle simple as that!

Can't see that happening but you can keep dreaming

You don't honestly beleive he will average over 6 in his first season over here do you? I would just be happy if he could keep his 5 point average for the season or around that figure

We have 2 riders in Justin and Max who both have the ability to average 6 plus next season and push on and make that third heat leader spot theirs.

Someone has been wathcing far to much polish speedway!

I'm a glass half full kind of guy!

I have every confidence that this team will improve over the season! Cookie has said he is looking to add to his average and he probably will (not much to add on though mind you) Derek struggled in his testimonial year as other riders have as well so without the pressure of that hopefully he can p his average by a little to around what he started on at the start of last season Masters will be interesting to see how well he does after a year out of racing in the UK. Could have been bad for his progress or could have helped him can only wait and see Max should kick on from where he left of last season and add a good point onto his starting average Sedgmen starting at reserve could really do a world of good for his confidence for the first month of the season and hopefully he will kick on to be good back up for Cook and Masters he certainly has the ability to and by reading some of the interveiws he has done he seems pretty motivated to do really well this year Worrall another who has the ability to increase his average by a point has averaged over 4 before in the PL no reason why he can't do it again Onto the new recruit Fox hard to tell what he is going to do starting in the main body of the team will be difficult but will probably drop to the reserve berth after he gets an official average End of the day the team has been made in the theory that most of the team will improve and ride to the potential that they can. Yes it's a risk but it's one that might pay off and if it doesn't we will have tabaka waiting in the wings come May June. Role on 2014!

So according to the local paper we are expected to be announce the last few members of the side tonight at the video night! Max will be one of the them the other 2 god knows Not to sure really as it has gone very quiet on that front for a while now

So no Jacobs then as he has signed for Mildenhall

Tully is having a season out and for Lemon no thanks!

I see that Mr Brady Kurtz has been given the big No No for the NL next season as he was going to be riding for Cradley! Looks like he isn't coming in on this 3.00 point average any more then!

Compared to last years line up this years is terrible! With people like smolinski and Harris who are going to be half a lap behind at times it just going to embarrassing

A blue and Gold fence wouldn't look out of place at Ashfeild this season with the team that is getting put together!

Or speak it!

Trying to protect his false 3.00 point average in the UK which is under threat

Chris Harris is mince! Honestly hope he finishes last in the series He has had chance after chance in the GP's and failed time and time again when are people going to learn

Very true Gaz

Just how i see it through my big eyes!

Remember the last time you had an exicting team (yes you won the league) but you almost went out of business and this year use are in even worse state financially and if you do well again (obviously not win the league again as that is our job) it could be curtains

Win the lottery in the west did we? Or did the gafer send some of the springburn youngsters to steal some cash in return for some exotic wine for the weekend! Best of luck to the monarchs B team

So he has!

I know he might not be a spring chicken as he will be 26 in febuary but he only started riding 3 years ago and he has improved very quickly in that time. Put in some decent results this year.

Until someone can prove by the rule book how he comes in on a 3.00 and don't just say because his relatives moved to Aus over 300 years ago! He has rode in the Aussie 21's which makes him an Aussie and competitively in europe last year (top league in denmark) beating the likes of Bjerre and averaged over 7.00.
