Personally i prefer team suits although feel there should be more freedom given to riders in the design namely this part is this particular blue, that part is black, the crest goes in the middle the rest is up to you. I also think clubs should only be looking at making a contribution towards the suits and its riders option where they are made & how much extra they choose to spend on them. As for the overshirts these are also a very good alternative. Let the rider design their own kevlars but state legs must be black. The design of the fitted tops now is excellent, riders could have 2 each provided by the club for around £100 per head, its quick to get replacements / new ones should riders be dropped/signed and riders would still have their own style kevlars for individual events.

Frenk's thats the ones. Saved me from racking my brains all evening.

Can't remember their names but there were a pair of talented grass/longtrack sisters a couple of years ago that were French/Dutch/German? Certainly held their own and wiped a few smiles off faces. As far im always concerned if you are good enough then no other factors should matter.

what is worse is that i checked the other teams signings before i posted and still didn't see it! I guess it is silly season after all and everybody is searching for any tenuous link to who the remaining Diamonds might be?

Matej Kus randomly coming over for the Peter Craven meeting or is there more to this?

Have to admit ive never heard of Rachel Hellowell does anybody know much about her / her amateur track successes? Definitely a positive for the team & the sport in general to offer more diverse opportunities.

There is no doubt that Stoke has its faults & that finances are a large factor of this but there are plenty of positives too like the track shape is good, it can produce good racing & the viewing is excellent. What often lets down visits there is the approach from the club. If they had the IOW style upbeat attitude along with a welcoming atmosphere you would find many are far more forgiving. Every year i hope to see Stoke succeed on the track but for them to succeed off track they need to accept the failings and look to address them one step at a time rather than deny they even exist.

Got out of bed the silly side this morning and the post was meant in jest nothing more or less. Supporters clubs do a lot of good work and I applaud all those involved

I thought the rarity factor added to its value begs the question what is rarer a Loomer season ticket or a smile from the woman on the gate?

Gotcha so the Birmingham Speedway Supporters that attend pay £2 which will go to the Birmingham Speedway Supporters Club of which many attending will already be members of..........makes as much sense as your potential number 7's passport application form

Always tricky on these kind of evenings as most of the questions fans want to know won't be directly answered. When will the number 7 finally get their paperwork sorted? Has anyone sponsored the race suits yet? Is Callum Walker contracted to go everywhere Rogers does? Rather than can this team win the league etc etc

I suspect they have gone back 3 times and checked with Birmingham if the spelling is right

Agreed. Youth with a bike = talented youngster Rider under 25 = rising hot shot Rider over 25 = experienced professional Any rider who has any success at any point will constantly be referenced e.g former 3 legged race runner up

Not sure how happy Worky would be if Newcastle signed Klindt . Don't think Bellego can double down? Porsing not doing the UK so best bet would be Sedgeman which is alarming in itself. Lahti would be an excellent signing but too expensive i suspect.

Drodz, Allen & Davey who i think will surprise plenty this year

Could have been a worse injury going by his Twitter antics

I'd tell you but I fear people will think I'm just trying to get a high scrabble score

IF it is who i believe then no chance of that situation happening. Quite likely to do alright but also likely to get some shale rash during the season. Will have done well to finish on a 5 point ave. Flint on the other hand has true pedigree and for him the skies the limit.

Possibly giving those who prepare their own race cards time to brace themselves..........

IF it is the rumoured rider he has been tracked twice by Rodgers before when ineligible. Once is a mistake, twice is careless

Or no passport if Rodgers is involved

Not seen Chattin ride loads but he does he does seem very hit & miss but has looked very impressive at times. Its very difficult for any riders coming in mid season and to make an impact in just one or two matches when all the opposition they are up against is already match sharp. I still feel the last rider for Brum will be a talking point (either good or bad) due to the very late announcement.

Phillips is head and shoulders above the other two on pedigree and if Scunny don't snap him up he will get picked up during the season elsewhere. The other two offer very little in terms of supporting cases other than looking ok at practice sessions

Woofers has a very valid point. How many of the Eastbourne faithful are even aware of the colour scheme change? Id imagine there will be some die hard supporters who will be quite upset about a neon green eagle

Similar tactic has been used by Eastbourne for several seasons and its a clever one. Get sponsors to cover the costs of the race suits and sponsor gets them at the end of the year. Designs will always split opinions but ive never been that keen on the plain yellow with red B so matching suits will always look better IMO plus its another way of attracting the signature of potential riders to be signed.
