Replaced by Neil Vulture clearly.

Owen is good at Kent, 2016 is a huge year for his career of he is going to progress in my opinion, he'd be a very good signing for the Kings.

If it was every EL or PL side then I'd agree.

When Rye House signed Andrew Silver in 2009 he was given an assessed four (could have even been five) point average despite being 42 and having had over ten years out of the sport. That was in the Premier League.

I'd say about 40 yards personally.

Couzins was the best three pointer the Kings had last year, he started well and then had to spend the year in the main team because the other three pointers were so bad. He's a lot better than Verge. Clifton will start at reserve undoubtedly but is likely to move up after the first set of averages, then it depends who is at reserve from that point going forward. Assuming the Kings go with three three-pointers that is, you'd think they'll have learnt their lesson this year however.

Looks like the Kings were planning to track three three-point riders from that press release, Clifton could probably hold his own in a second string berth. Perhaps the door is open again for Couzins?

Purchase has been inside hasn't he?

Hopefully something about the Raiders is next.

That was THJRR.

Press Release says that there will be no Saturday night meetings when the Raiders are at home on a Sunday, makes sense for fans financially but why not just run the Raiders meetings on the Saturday night in that case?

That explains the cum on the lads.

Second prospect we've let through the net this winter. Maybe he didn't want anything to do with the club, our loss definitely, hope Alfie can carry on his development at Mildenhall.

By the age of 25 there are riders going into their tenth season of racing. Perhaps this should be governed on years of experience as opposed to age. Simple solution.

Looks poor compared to what the Rebels have put out in recent times. I'd be unhappy with the signing of Tungate. I can't see any improvement from Wright or Starke either, especially now there will be more expected from them. Allen is an unknown quantity granted. BWD has potential but wasn't exactly head and shoulders ahead of Morley, Branford, Greenwood in the NL last year yet he's coming in on a five.

Seriously, this bloke has been given yet another shot when there are the likes of Branford, Morris and Ellis as yet without PL clubs...

I don't see what he will gain from it quite simply and in that same thought process I wonder who will be bothered enough to keep up to date with it. Most people follow a speedway team, the only riders who have big followings of loyal fans are those at the pinnacle of the sport, if it were a Woffinden or Hancock starting a media channel I could see why people would follow it but for a second string racing in a semi-professional league surely he should be looking to do his talking on the track first and foremost.

Enjoyed watching him during his time at Rye. No reason he can't average around eight I'd say, especially if Holder and/or Newman can step up and push him for that number one spot. Like the look of this Plymouth side.

Find it a bit odd that a third tier rider is launching a media channel myself but each to their own. He knows the IOW track well, he has a lot of experience of the league and other tracks he will be visiting, it's a solid but unspectacular signing for the Warriors.

Lee Smart?

It'd be double his 4.26 PL figure so 8.52 I believe. Hume and Hunter have to start at reserve for me with Bowtell as our lowest averaged second string, adding another rider on a three wouldn't be wise as its putting more pressure on Hume, Hunter and Bowtell to kick on in case the three pointer is a duff.

Owned by Rye and not Len though. He'd be an ideal number one for Kent really, a lot of experience and an average about a point less than Ben at this level. Would be happy with Ben or Luke as the Raiders' number one, think the other will be at Kent.

I'd start with Bowen and Hughes as our top two with Hume, Bowtell and Hunter filling the bottom three spaces in the side. Then we'd have around 11.6 to sign two more riders. Bowen's experience in the pits would be fantastic for the younger lads in the team and he'd be a class act at this level.

He averaged around 6 including BP's in 2004 I think.

Lot of unfulfilled potential, could have been very good if it had been channelled correctly. That and if he had some decent bikes under him.
