Danyon or Nathan would be an improvement on Agertoft

Adam is a Swindon asset and as long as we can sort out his Danish commitments would be great guy to build team around. I'd assume if we offer him a season deal he would commit and ditch Danish League. Garrity is fantastic to watch but like Ben Barker can be "high maintenance" and whilst would love to have him back comes with risks. Tero a "must have" in my opinions and fingers crossed Shansey is fit for start of 2020 season. I hope Brummies look again at Kyle Newman, he was asked to do a 2nd Heat Leader job in a weak starting 1-7, never had a chance and was dropped but has done well since and with some confidence restored would make great second string.

Eastie fans i spoke to at Leicester yesterday seem to think Jordan is off to Plymouth and Connor Dugard coming back to run Speedway with Jon Cook and set up some kind of Junior Academy track at back of Stadium.

talking to some Eastie fans at Leicester yesterday and they were very positive about season as a whole but not happy with Kennett or Wood. Eastie fans seem to think some management changes coming and Connor Dugard coming back which most seemed happy about.

No sign of Cook. Not a great advert as once again Leicester track not in great condition, lots of falls on first bend and a bit one sided in the end although no lack of effort from Eastie. Good to see Leicester win a trophy though and very decent Crowd at both Fixtures I believe, certainly good at Leicester.

Schlein average too high to cover Away as no 5% add on....basic stuff so wake up in Herne Bay!

I fear Cradley already gone sadly especially if Wolves have more home Fixtures to fit in at Monmore. The fixation with Monday / Thursday is major headache for Kent if only 2 Leagues as option may only be PL. Unless any new tracks to join NDL - Buxton / Rye House / Oxford back?

Nichol round there at reserve swings it just for me - narrow away win

reckon Redcar v Glasgow will be Play Off final!

you might also ask how keen would Lawson be going back to Glasgow?

Pickering for Worrall and Schlein for Kennett.

been to eastie 4 times, crowds according to reports after the first 3 matches I went to were 1000; 1400 and 1200, last match I went to I would say about 1000 on that basis. new business guy there has been very open about what crowds have been and what they need and cancelled a match when he thought crowd would be low! biggest CL crowds I've seen by far have been Glasgow 1500 / Eastie 1000 / Leicester 1000 in that order. I think brummies averaging about 600-650 (have improved thru season), saw similar at Redcar and Somerset, would say about 400 at Scunny (haven't been to other CL this season) Been to Kent twice I would say 500-600, Cradley about same 500- 600; IOW once about 300, Stoke once about 200 and Mildenhall early doors about 450. In PL - Wolves regular guess about 800 and Swindon twice once was about 600 but few weeks back a lot more about 1200.

Think it's a done deal and allows Buster to retain Monday / Thursdays Somerset / Sheffield (both primarily Thursday as first choice night) and Leicester (having divested his mates the bates of Sheffield primary night Monday) The bigger concern to many is how bare that leaves CL Berwick / Birmingham / Eastbourne / Edinburgh / Glasgow / Newcastle / Redcar / Scunthorpe I think of 4 remaining NDL Clubs (not 2nd string sides) Kent and Plymouth may be able to move up but BSPA would have to allow Kent to ride on a Monday, or do they invite Len to top table?? What then happens to IOW / Mildenhall?? - can they sustain a CL ?? If Buster cherry picks his 10 then I fear 3-4 of those left will close as either too much cost to move to CL or don't want reduced level of competition if CL quality is removed. Better option surely to tell BT to do one, have 1 major league split geographically (16 or more teams) and explore streaming route !

doubt Eastie can have a Guest Sunday as World Team Long Track is on Saturday night - so Kennett will probably ride Sunday.

Jon Cook and Co certainly made a few people eat their words this season.

i think overall 95-85 to Leicester - Eastie about 50-40 at Arlington and Lions 55 - 35 at Leicester. Think Eastie weakened without Wood at Home but RR better for them away. Could be reserves battle both Legs and Mountain easily best of the 4 reserves. Should be cracking matches though, going Sunday and hope speedway is great and agree both Clubs deserve big crowds. Been to both this season and seen about 1500 that would be great for both again.

why we all know what Cook is, the verdict is what those who made the decision are....leave it there! majority of speedway fans don't like Cook or SCB.. nothing changes except opinions more cemented and polarised. only winners may be Eastbourne as they'll get huge crowd if and when Cook reappears there although he'll no doubt have an excuse or an even bigger strop leave

The decision in itself is shocking. What makes it 1000x worse is the complete and utter contempt that The SCB show in the statement. No explanation of the reasons and issues behind the decision and no clarify about the amount of the Fine. So lets say as an example Kennett and Vissing lose 3-5k in earnings while banned. If Cooks fine is 5k or more at least an appreciation that he has lost earning and therefore being punished. To just say "fined" is just not acceptable.

It would be unbelievable and a disgrace, other than it's no surprise. Stitch up and cover up. Sports a joke.

fantastic and early news about running in professional league (guess that means CL in same format as this year or a big league if that's direction sport goes in) next season from Dave mason. That looked very unlikely in mid summer but fair play Brummies have turned the ship around and things looking much more positive again. Hope all other CL Clubs will do the same.

Agree 100% Don't understand why BSPA won't let him ride for Eastbourne when he was allowed to ride for and released by Brummies or am I missing something?

I had assumed Glasgow might replace Peterboriugh but forgot to include in CL as a result. Not sure if any CL clubs other than the 3 rumoured and Glasgow would want to move up but would at least be right and proper if they were asked!

If buster gets his 10 Team Top League with rumoured Leicester / Somerset / Sheffield it poses huge questions. Do Berwick / Birmingham / Eastbourne / Edinburgh / Newcastle / Redcar / Scunthorpe - dumb down in to a composite CL/NDL or do IOW / Kent / Mildenhall / Plymouth crank up in to a higher NDL/CL composite . That could be a great 11 Team League on paper but in reality how many would remain - I fear it could be no more than 6 or 7. Terrifying thoughts for many Clubs who have to decide to effective move down or up against their wishes and economic logic either way.

I think that you are right on that but where does that leave NDL Clubs who may be forced in to a higher league and not be able to afford costs or have no wish to move out of "Development League" status. Kent, Mildenhall ; IOW; Plymouth are going to have some very difficult decisions to make. I can't see BV / Cubs running in a 2 tier structure and Cradley likewise with limited access to Monmore Green. Worrying times for those 4 NDL regulars.

Totally agree brian. Double header on this occasion is perfectly sensible idea. I also think Cradley have to consider fact that likely to be 10 x as many Away Supporters from Belle Vue than Kent, accepting fact BV a far bigger name and average supporter base in thousands still rather than hundreds. Of course BV is bigger draw for them. Shame for the handful of Kent fans who may travel on a Monday but simple commercial reality. With Stoke closing, Cradley looking less and less likely to run in 2020 and doubts about the long term viability of BV and Leicester running 2 sides, could be sadly the end of NDL as we know it.
