Also I don't think tungate has helped himself by saying he was turning up at meetings and couldn't be bothered. Does anyone think risager will be left out?

Think I would struggle to pay my money every week to watch that team.

So masters bonus points is less than a point, so obviously he just clears off then, and he probably picked up plenty of them finishing behind cook in heats 13 and 15. Again I shall repeat, I would take masters over tungate, but not king. In fact I would take masters over every other number 1 apart from king and cook and stead.

Well I wouldn't rate tungate as a number 1, so why would I rate masters as one? Having said that, I would take masters over tungate any day of the week, and averages with bonus points means nothing to anything, apart from his wages.

So maybe he is not quite number one material?

What's masters average? Isn't it lower than tungate?

But cooks went down Who knows where they will end up though. I would be extremely happy with king Worrall and Wells. In fact I will be extremely disappointed if they are not our top 3

Would be my choice as stated many times.

Cooke and masters is a pretty potent top 2, so having the right third heat leader could make all the difference.

Well I hope it's king then, then hopefully Worrall and Wells,

Well it probably also depends on what elite club he races for and what night they race on and how many date clashes. On a different note, wasn't there a rule once before about riders only being able to double up for 2 or 3 seasons, but it was scrapped as not enough riders around.

It truly is exciting times for the sport in this country? Fair enough.

So is winning the travel plus tours cup going to award the winner financially? It's a great move if it does.

It's good that the prem don't change the rules every year. If Louis doesn't do anything stupid, we really are in a great position to put together a table topping team for next season. As long as the right riders are kept and the right ones let go.

I was thinking more of an indoor world championship type of thing at a few different venue and a decent sized track for starters. Is he practicing anything in particular, I know his starts vastly improved over this season.

I think if I was running speedway, I would invent an indoor winter series

We are so lucky having our own thread starter. Would Hackney be classed as premier league when Louis and Loram raced for them? If so, then they are my choices

So looks like most clubs are paying the same price as what the elite league was a couple of years ago.

Edinburgh put together an all conquering team with a number 1 with even a much higher average. As long as most of the other riders have improvement in them its not really a problem

Wouldn't think Barker would be back at Ipswich, as he isn't exactly great around our track, tungate is better round foxhall, although way way way less entertaining.

What about mills at reserve? He done a great job before and I think he is on a pretty low average at the moment.

I also don't think king would up that average, but what he can do is make passes, something tungate doesn't do very often, and over a season those passes are very important and can make all the difference between getting points or not, especially on the road

With people discussing if king would be a good number 1 in the premier league, just goes to show how good and competitive the league is right now. Let's hope the elite league boys don't try and ruin it with more stupid rules they probably come up with at the conference.

There are a few that would rather have tungate. As a number 1 though, not for me.
