you do have to win at home and as you can see I put we will go unbeaten at home, that's why I would prefer Leigh for away meetings to get some extra points. We obviously both have different opinions which is good. Looking forward to next season, bring it on. So who has ideas on team riding order? Can we put morten back to 3 or 4 and put Tungate at 5

Yes a school boy error was made, hence Adam looking for a team place before it was pointed out to them about the reductions. You would think and hope that the people responsible for putting the team together would know the rules. Mr sin I take it you don't watch Ipswich away? Leigh is by far the better rider although the averages are similar. But that's the team and it's one that should keep the home fans happy by winning all home matches, which is something that hasn't happened for a fair few season's. It's definitely a team capable of making the top 6, possibly top 3.

But you very rarely see Leigh have bad meetings on away tracks, and you need to score plenty of away points to be serious contenders. Now i am not saying this year's team are not contenders, but I would just prefer Leigh. Leigh tends to score 5 6 7 or 8, morten tends to score more of 10 3 8 3 11 3 .

its a good team, but I would definitely have had Leigh in there for his experience and away tracks, and knowledge. Not a lot of experience between 5 of those, but all 5 could have very big futures.

Surely it was obvious morten was always going to be in the team, aljack told us this ages ago. As for why not all 7 improving their average, they might, but I think one will stay about the same, which isn't getting worse, so that's got to be good surely. Will be interesting to see how many of our riders averages do improve.

Gino also on the same night made light work of passing doolan also, he being an ex Ipswich number 1. I don't remember his gating being that great, so if that's been improved, he could easily add to his starting average, looks like we have 6 riders that could all up their average, with the other rider staying roughly the same.

Good signing, will only improve through out the season at home, don't know how he races big tracks. Can we still fit Adam in at reserve also, or can we pull off another awesome signing in Lambert?

Trouble is, they shouldn't need telling. It's always been sold as a family sport, and it's not exactly family friendly pricing is it. Maybe the price increase is to pay for some extra lighting which actually faces the speedway track, so we can all see what's going on a bit better. Along with the air fences being installed at all tracks, hopefully better lighting will also be mandatory one day. Back to the Ipswich lighting, maybe they just need a clean, as I don't remember it everything so murky as it was last season

Lynn and lakeside have card machines, I just thought most things did these days. Well my local pub love us paying by card, they say it's better for them for some reason.

Well it's often mentioned about speedway moving forward with the times, and card machines have been around for years now.

So has the season ticket price gone up from last season? Purchasing a season ticket saves on the cost of 2 and half meetings. Also just another question, does it cost a lot of money for the club to have its own card machine? As I can't think of anywhere I go these days that doesn't have one

no you haven't missed anything as you well know, i am just being disappointed in advance. As we already know no Leigh and maybe no Adam. short sighted? Ipswich? Never. Unfortunately the future of the sport is out weighed by the here and now.

Well don't come on here then, simple, or maybe you just are.

They do, but they will always go where the best deal is offered. But the problem with speedway is, is that there is no incentive to do well or win, apart from more fans disappearing, if you got money for winning league or finishing in top 6 or something then it would be different. I can't think of any other sport where there is no incentive to finish as high as possible. Even i race for money, the better I do the more I get.

So we could have had Leigh and Adam instead of morten and what's left? Surely that would have been a no brainer, or we could maybe have Smith instead of morten and Lambert instead of Adam. I just get the feeling we could have had a better team than what we will have ended up with

He would be a 5 wouldn't he? So if it's Ritchie rohan Cameron morten gino and Ritchie, how much does that leave for our final reserve?

I didn't think they done British reduction in the premier? Or have they suddenly brought that back

On a different note, I see Manzares won a meeting in Australia, beating rohan and Doyle in the final, yes it was on a small track, but beat some good riders

Nothing wrong with Workington fans, made me very welcome when I visited this year

Maybe I am but that's the way I see it, with him nothing, without him plenty of silverware.

This is what I don't get, why is morten nailed on? It was him that caused the problems last year and Louis has said he will make changes to not let it happen again, or was it Barker and Leigh that were the problem? I will predict this now, with morten in the team we will yet again win nothing.

Add to that, get shot cos he ain't getting any better or ain't gonna get any better. I would rather have someone on a lower average that's gonna improve. So will we get his brother too?

Wasn't it morten that was meant to be causing the problems?

I am very hard to please, as already pointed out, but I would be extremely happy with Ritchie just as I was with Barker last season. It would be a great start to team building, but it's not how you start, it's how you finish.
