If Kyle Hughes is in it he could mount a serious title challenge. Has been excellent at Rye this season.

Would have been fine if we'd used the points available for our other signing rather than copped out and put Greenwood in the team again.

That's simply not true, the bit in bold especially. Steve Boxall and Jon Armstrong were both scoring heavily at reserve and were told they had to move into their respective top fives despite reserve positions being 'protected' all season. It was a good system in principle and had it been developed rather than scrapped after it didn't produce instant positive results in 2006 we may well have a stronger standard of British riders in the sport now.

I fear the Raiders may well be non starters next season. With the Silver link to Kent there's a prime bottom order waiting to be signed at Rye right now. A 38 point limit and the Kings could retain their top three and add Hume, Bowtell and Hunter leaving about 5 points to spare.

Because crowds were coming in in their thousands the last time Aussies and Kiwis were allowed to race in the third tier... The points limit needs to be raised to around 38. The PL needs to enforce a Brit only reserve system and the the likes of Branford, Ellis, Greenwood, Morley etc who are heatleaders in the NL are given a natural progression to the next level. Otherwise the likes of Konopka, Maassen and Dilger will be taking PL reserve berths yet again.

Perks isn't in the top five in the league, neither is Zach for that matter. Ellis and Branford compete in British Championships, where they were raised should have no bearing on that fact. The NL has finally started to go in the right direction, there's no need to take two steps back now.

Big question for the Kings is going to be who to let go this winter? Would imagine one of Morley, Shanes or Ayres will have to go or they will be faced with a long tail yet again.

Think he went back to three when he went to Somerset, however he's not eligible to double up due to his age as far as I'm aware. We've got three league meetings left I believe? Let Alfie Bowtell have them. For the cup then pick the best rider available each night, Morley at home for sure.

Also the fact that he is rubbish. Struck me as a real token number 8 when announced and that's been demonstrated by him not being given meetings when there have been plenty of opportunities to do so. Why should they be allowed a guest for a rider who has just gone home?

Needs to allow the player to create a character as opposed to picking an SGP rider and racing as them. Some kind of league racing should be included even if it is in the same vein as Pro Evolution Soccer and combines teams from a variety of countries. The SGP tracks could even be used as home track venues for clubs and a few generic stadiums/tracks also added in. This would boost the 'career' mode. Not perfect but a start and an improvement on any previous Speedway game offering. Also as you move through the career mode the SGP line up should change from year to year otherwise you are literally doing the same rounds against the same riders every time. Will be buying this for the PS4 no doubt however.

So who is riding for the Rockets in place of Maassen? Not good enough needing guests and not telling the paying public who they will be in advance of the meeting.

Hume, Bowtell and Hunter. Three reasons the Raiders need to carry on. That's the bottom end of a very good side for next year already sorted, it would be criminal to break it up.

Sad thing is he'll probably get a team spot somewhere again next year.

Kennett is our best rider, his EL and PL averages are higher than Lambert's. But that's just me being pedantic!

To be fair he does always walk around with the Ferrero Rocher out.

Shots fired.

Where/when was this ever promised? Len Silver was the one who said there would be improvements week by week if I recall correctly, not Scott.

Obviously you'd speak to the owner first and ask. Doubt they'd say no to some/all of the work being paid for. If they do then at least you have something to tell fans about why the car park is atrocious.

Heaven forbid someone posting something relevant to the thread on the thread.

First impressions and all that. I'd be trying to get it done/putting my hand in my pocket in that position regardless.

Since when? If that was the case then the car park should be his first priority, but I don't think that is true.

Go Kart track is a separate entity to the speedway stadium. Doubt the kart track would be happy with Scott laying a kart track of his own next door. Lots of speculation on here with no evidence of any facts. Not helping anyone.

A sports direct?

Peterborough must have got a lot in those begging bowls last winter to be able to outpay Rye.

Future plans must mean PL next year, can't see Lynn selling him unless they get a crazy offer. If we do go EL though Woffinden and Linus are more than welcome back.
