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.

Going NL in 2017 was largely Hobson's Choice. It was an early AGM the previous year at which point Lakeside could not get a guarantee on track availability for the following season. The option was to continue the club for the future. In fact, as things turned out, if they hadn't run in 2017 it is highly unlikely they would have been able to strike up a deal with the Woodruff family for this season.

Yet again forecasters cannot agree and the BBC cannot even agree with itself. The summary says dry all day but the weather map has heavy rain (and snow!) pushing in from 4pm and moved away by 10pm. Met Office shows heavy rain from 6 to 8pm whilst Metcheck predicts light rain from mid-afternoon onwards. I hope we can pull off a win and enough to mount a challenge tomorrow. Nick and Richard will have to be in top form and Adam less twitchy at the gate. Ben will need to carry forward last Wednesday's form and at least half a dozen points from Zach. Alfie should manage a few which leaves Kyle to up his game. Surely he must have learnt by now that charging up the inside on this circuit gets you nowhere.

It doesn't. On that occasion Poole booked Morris for their home leg and Ellis away, the reason being Morris' average would have been too high to use him at King's Lynn. However, once it was realised Ellis had been booked to ride for the Stars in the Poole leg both promotions agreed that it would have been daft to have a rider turn out for both sides in a final.
