He wasn't. It is his converted average based upon his starting figure for Rye House in 2018.

There was hardly suitable rider available. Tom Brennan and Ben Morley were riding for Eastbourne, Max Clegg - Edinburgh, Leon Flint and Kyle Bickley - Belle Vue and Tom Bacon - Stoke.

Ipswich side in 2002 included Chris Louis, Scott Nicholls, Jeremy Doncaster, Craig Boyce, Joonas Kylmakorpi, Leigh Lanham, Danny Bird and Carl Baldwin. There may have been changes to the line-up during the course of the season.

Correct and in heat 12 Ipswich will have riders #1 and 4 against KL's #3 and 5 then vice-versa for heat 13.

I don't know about nine riders but Ipswich would be without King, Lawson, Allen and Heeps.

Kim rides for Vargarna on Thurdays in the Allsvenskan League and Marsarna in the Eliteserien League of which four meetings are scheduled for Thursdays. He also has a team place in Poland

...and doing 4 laps at the Arena Raceway I have become very impressed by him. Even as a thirteen year old he often had the beating of Jason Edwards and last season was posting times only a few seconds outside those of the main match.

Correct.

He is a Swindon asset. However, his Polish club Rzesznow has been refused a licence for 2019. If that is not resolved he could well become a option. Maybe that is why the remaining riders have yet to be named.

You must be referring to the management of (Ross) Gilbert(son) and (Ryan) Sullivan.

Tell that to Ipswich. They're looking for a magnificent seven just now.

One target should be Nathan Abblitt who turns 15 next March.

It will be his starting average for Rye House x 1.5, 9.58 but with the 2.5% applied, 9.34. Which one is expensive?

First signing, Ulrich Ostergaard.

Harris has signed for Peterborough.

Nick Morris will be riding in Poland as well.

Then it is 9.58 as originally quoted.

I think it should be 8.70, his converted average from the final figure during his time at Rye House last season (5.80 x 1.5).

There is a fans forum being held at the Orsett Hall Hotel on Monday, 10th December at 7.30pm. Full details on the Hammers' website.

..or Eastbourne but both clubs are rather remote as far as the Championship is concerned.

If you say so. Stuart must have acquired the Hammers' licence from Ronnie Russell in 2007. He was joined by Jon Cook who left Eastbourne as team manager to take up the same role bringing with him Adam Shields. Anyway, we shall find out next week.

This may have been before Stuart Douglas announced he was to step aside from the club. I doubt Jon can do it on his own as he would need financial backing and a promoters licence.

I didn't word my earlier post very well. What I meant was Jon Cook returning to Eastbourne and applying for them to join the Championship. Now that Stuart has stepped aside from Lakeside this may happen. In the meantime Lakeside's licence has been put on ice unless someone comes forward by the 12th November.

Apart from the Rye House Stadium being in a rather chaotic state you are never going to get a decent racing strip until someone can invest in braking up the tarmac/concrete base left behind when stock cars used to run. It wasn't quite so bad in Len's time when, I think, the straights were shorter and less banking, not to mention, the infamous adverse camber on the second bend. Eastbourne might be an option and now they, sadly, have lost their commander in chief, I can see Jon returning and applying to join the Championship. Signings, Scott Nicholls, Edward Kennett to join Jason Edwards and Tom Brennan maybe.
