He is a good rider but I would be surprised if he turned out to be the leagues top rider. Hasn't really pulled up any trees at Northside so far.

yeah he usually scores very well at Armadale

Luke has chosen Scunny over Worky before, as one of the brightest British prospects I'm sure they will do all they can to keep him at the EWR.

Berwick must be a good bet, goes well at Shielfield.

Yeah Hooky done well at reserve and a good team man but there are question marks about further improvement if in the main body I feel. Agree about Tate who unfortunately has suffered concussion in Oz. Vinnie is a young lad who seems really keen to improve and is a racer. On good machinery I believe he is worthy of a team place next season

Looks like it .

At least two of your looking at riders are strongly rumoured to have signed elsewhere.

Wouldn't read anything into that Geoff.

less will have to be more next season

Goes without saying all promoters want to make a profit, who wants 5 and 6 figure losses.

You gotta earn big to owe big. It's like Neila putting a few shifts overtime in (when he was working😀) then complaining about how much income tax he paid.

He maybe is😃

not sure I get that one Geoff. I remember Mrs Beeton wrote a cracking book on household management though, wonder what the BSPL are cooking up 🤔

yeah I didn't think much of his article either.

heard the lump sum was 6 figures, can't have been right 🤣

good looking top two but best in the league when all haven't been announced is a tad premature Paddy. Think Fredriksen is a good shout, liked the look of him last season both at Plymouth and Worky. I think they will go for Klima if he wants to return.

he kept that quiet

Seen Ryan in the U19 Championship at Worky. Showed a bit of promise but its a big step up into the Championship, be interesting to see how he copes with the challenge.

Well he has a good record on the second of those. New air fence probably £35K minimum, loose change for Matt 😃

Big job relieving everyone on here 🤣

I heard Matt Ford was chipping in as well 👌👍 keen to help with wealth inequality I think 😉

More chance of setting up an alternative to the current structure 😃. Could call it the Bain Ultimatum or something similar after another secret agent 🤣

This is an opinion I have formed over the last few seasons too.

Antti was our best heat leader at the GT Tyres arena last season while Batch was our best heat leader away from home. I would have them both back without doubt, Batch at 5 Antti at 3. However, building a solid team that has a rider or riders who can win the big heats at the back end of the meeting along with a good 3 and 4 who can produce a fair percentage of wins in heat 12 and heat 14 respectively (great example being Zach Cook at Poole) plus having at least one consistently strong reserve is not easy within the constraints of the team building points limit.

maybe don't have the infrastructure, airfence, refs box, starting gates etc and don't have the finances to buy them ?. Looking at the Northampton Shaleway on google I don't think the track shape is conducive to good speedway, looks narrow with long straights. Can anyone confirm ?.
