Firstly, the track wasn't to blame for either of the crashes that led to the injuries, they were racing incidents. The track wasn't up to much granted but as I understand it has been a problem with lots of tracks due to the unseasonable weather we have had. They have frozen and it has cut them up something chronic whilst they have thawed. They can't be watered heavily as once they have thawed it'll turn the track into a bog. The racing we did see was very good, the injuries are a great shame and I hope the riders all make swift and full recoveries. It may be too soon but Len needs to make two signings now, using all the points available to him and getting Jason Garrity into a reserve berth.

Garbage rule, regardless of all the bickering about whether it's legal or not. Is not paying a few bonus points for third placed finishes going to really be that effective as a cost cutting measure? Doubt it highly. What it is going to do is promote team mates racing against each other, leading to more strung out races as team riding is disregarded and riders taking unnecessary risks trying to beat their partner into second place. Complete own goal IMO, can't see the rule surviving long.

It's early days, however there are always going to be short sighted opinions on how the team will do. It's a side packed with potential, give it time over the season and we're really going to blossom. I still fully expect us to be surprising a fair few and making a decent challenge for the play-offs.

Hope it's okay to post the link here, for those wanting to know more about Tyler Govier, I recently interviewed him, very level headed and has a bright future ahead of him. http://tuckerspeedway.wordpress.com/2013/03/23/tyler-govier-interview/

Struggling with fame? Sorry, he's a speedway rider, he's not a celebrity. The days of riders being household names is long over unfortunately.

You've got Steve Worrall entering his third season of Premier League racing, he has some experience and he has a real make or break year to get out of the reserve berths. If Kerr is persisted with he'll be a very good signing long term, very good team lining up for the Diamonds.

No, when you can take a joking comment in good humour then you can join the guessing games, maybe pass the parcel too, but not musical chairs

It's the fish getting smaller.

Because some Dudley fans said they want him so he has no choice. It's like National Service, you don't get a choice.

If early press releases are to be believed then Ben Morley, David Mason and Connor Coles are likely to be involved and potentially Steve Boxall at number 1.

Sorry but this is a sport, not just a business. No one sane would get involved with promoting speedway to make money out of it. Teams need to perform home and away. People go to watch their team in the hope they will win and that they will win trophies at the end of the season. If you take the attitude that you'll only bother at home then you're only ever going to be an also ran which begs the question, why bother running at all? This post is not aimed at Sheffield btw but a general trend which seems to be taking over British Speedway.

http://speedwaygb.co/plannouncements13.html Not seen any announcements yet but look on the BSPA site and apparently the Tigers have signed Joe Screen, James Grieves and Harley Horwood for 2013.

Good start to team building by Lynn, be interesting to see how they complete their line up.

Can't see Kennett in the PL now tbh, think he'd have only signed for Rye at PL level.

The line up comes to 39.92, only gotta improve by 0.8 It's an exciting team full of potential. A number one who will do the job home and away. Mellgren can make the step up to be a strong heat leader whilst we will always have two strong reserves. Granted I'd have preferred another 7 pointer as opposed to Lamber perhaps but that is the team we have and I think we will be in the mix come the end of the season.

Gonna be interesting viewing these comments again come this time next year

Sounds radical but why not just ask the rider where he wants to be.

3 points under the limit, not seen any other line ups so far, will not be bottom I'm certain. Stand by my statement we'll be challenging.

Has Jepsen Jensen Racing hacked your account SCB? That is a very good line up.

Decent line up, expect a title challenge with that seven. Enough left if Nelson no shows to sign a decent replacement too.

I don't think Bridger likes the Rye track too much and as an Eastbourne rider why would he double up with a saturday track?... Personally wouldn't want him in the team. Kennett would be my choice, Olly Allen would also do a very good job.

Hazelden is a loss IMO as Sarj would be but both are replaceable. We were planning to use Robert Lambert this year but were not granted permission by the bspa, if he rides NL I'm pretty sure it'll be as a Raider.

Yeah I mean Simon, whilst not a first choice of many he picked up towards the end of the season and is better than any of the three pointers available IMO. As for Kennett, it would benefit him in the same way it has Ben Barker, he'd pick up meetings and valuable earnings without as much expense as he would incur going abroad. He needs a shot in the arm and returning to Rye could be just that for him.

Pretty sure it'll be Lambert at reserve and I reckon Kennett would jump at a chance to come back, would be a great confidence boost for him riding PL.

Morley Chessell Hazelden Owen Sarjeant Coles R.Lambert That'll do.
