I agree on the Jacob Hook front personally I was disappointed when he wasnt signed for this year. Claus Vissing never really seemed to like Northside and never gelled in the team.

I agree its probably time to call it a day, real shame as Craig has a real talent but he is constantly letting himself and others down. Whatever happens the promotion has a problem as a replacement wont be an easy find, it may even require two changes however the rest of the team are performing as required so very difficult call.

Im not sure how the averages work if a replacement was been sought what points are available and is anyone around that average available

Cookie is class on a bike but unfortunately he is just too un reliable we need a team thats complete. What changes could be made? Antti would be great at home, but falls short on away tracks.

I dont know what others think but in my view if Cookie isnt up for it we need to look for a replacement also Vinnie is out for a while by all accounts so maybe we look to replace him (temporarily) R/R and guests isnt really working. The other issue which is a good problem that works against us is that there is really no home advantage visitors are up to speed on the first ride which isnt the case at the more technical??? (awkward) tracks

Whats going on with Craig Cook ??

At the end of the day we only need a reserve that doesn't mean the best you can hope for in a heat is 3-3

I was quite impressed with the performance against Scunny although sad to say Jamie Etherington is way off the pace looks like another Sam McGurk scenario. Im sure the promotion will be looking at options to cover Vinnies absence and Jamie.

I agree that the team appears top heavy, IF Cook is in the right space and Zischke regains his form the team will be very strong all depends on the IF

Thing is I didnt know who this guy was or has done, it took me 2 minutes to find out. Surely he isnt in the frame

It must be work permit issues if we really havent got 2 names in the frame at this stage I worry

It looks like we are neck and neck with Scunthorpe in the competition to be last to announce the 2026 teams. Just a bit longer and we can win. TBH its boring now.

Yeah Cliff built and promoted Park Road and The Furness Flyers sadly the supporters didnt come and the enterprise went under. Two reasons I suppose track was out of town and poor team.

I must say I find the total radio blackout worrying some information would be good. Any rumours or snippets ??

Maybe there'll be an announcement tomorrow christmas pressie for supporters

Agree so get announcing

Surely there'll be a rider announcement shortly we are finding out from other teams who we haven't got next year but still waiting in anticipation.

Batch seems to like Worky all the nay sayers have been proved wrong he has performed and behaved like the pro he is is. Now who is next? will it be a good heat leader or strong second strings. Not sure Vuolas is who is needed would like to see a much more steady performer home and away

I tend to agree we need heat leaders who can at least hold there own on most tracks.

just been announced Riss is going to Oxford

The decision to not include Jacob Hook has created waves thats for sure. I would like to see some more announcements coming soon so that people can get to see what the plans and vision are. Im sure there s a good reason for the decision whoever's it was.

Tate is a good signing if he fully regains his mojo he will be a steal on his average

if the actual lights are LED lamps the power consumption will be fairly modest and a generator would run easily

I think one league will be a good solution as it will bring more variety and competition. The main issue is, as has been said, is how riders are graded and allocated. If some of he big guns do ride it will put teams who ride Friday, Saturday and Sunday at an immediate disadvantage as due to other commitments they wont get the riders and the could be very unbalanced.
