Ok the contract being owned.But unlike other sports ie football,if a club owns the contract of a player they still have to pay him whether he plays or not.But in speedway then,the club owns the contract but don't have to pay him if he doesn't ride for them thus making kind of self employed.It is a weird set up don't you think.

With the asset system,i don't get how you can own a rider so to speak without actually paying them.They are actually self employed or not surely?

Bit like years ago then Baggy.This in a time when i use to go home and away most of the time.And as you say getting any results then felt like winning the lottery to me.Maybe this year will be the same.

Do we know who voted for the one over eight?And only one team who won't have a signing over eight

And he always has the excuses ready if they fail.

Pretty good assessment i think.One thing though Poole only start with 2 number 1's from last season

I reckon the 3 league rule was lifted a while ago,but has only just been announced

If you mean successful in terms of trophies,i would think that honour belongs to Belle Vue

Bloody hell he must have had an awful injury 5.5 years is a long while to be laid up.

Did i say you couldn't

Quite agree,the other six are ok in my eyes.I think looking at Proctor they are probably thinking of how he rode for us on many guesting appearances back in the old PL days.Very entertaining and scored a lot of points.Although we are talking many years ago.Starting at 2nd string i would like to think he could score 5-6 points a meeting.Only time will tell.

It's not the best of the teams announced,but i am happy in the knowledge knowing we will have a very strong reserve,maybe 2 if Andersen works out ok.I'm also happy that Lambert and Rose are in the team.The only one i will worry about is Proctor.With the arrival of a very good number one we shouldn't be that awful as some think. If it's clearly done on the cheap as you think,pump some money in and sponsor a Dudek or someone to come over.

Didn't think it would take you long to have another grumble.

Don't count as jchapman did distinctly say in the old PL

We never rode against Ipswich in the old Premier League.

So you would think Kurtz would have gained more bonus points than Morris to keep his average down.Last season Kurtz got 11BP whilst Morris got a staggering 28BP.

Protected at 5?He rides against the same members of the oppositions top 5 the same amount of times as Doyle and all number ones do.The only difference between the 1+5 is the number 1 rides against the no.6 once and the no.5 rides against the no.7 once.And between Kurtz and Morris you wouldn't expect any of those two to be beaten by a no. 6 or 7.

Are you having a bad day?

I would rather invest into the wine side of things.

Money would be the main thing for them travelling i would assume.If you can earn much more somewhere else you will travel.

I thought most painters enjoyed their wine while painting masterpieces.Have you seen the state of some of the paintings that fetch a crazy amount of money

He has now been confirmed

Lambert and Kerr first ones announced then,well after T.J that is.Kerr at reserve by the looks of it

We will see over the next few weeks i guess.

Hang on a minute,a few years ago Kerr was never going to ride for the Stars again.
