Alex Edberg is the only one in that list that would put Compton in reserve, the others would bring the team over the points limit. Hynek Stichauer 4.56 and Simon Nielsen 4.36 would also put Compton to reserve.

Morris for Doyle would leave Somerset quite a weak team, further team changes might be needed but that would get embarrassing.

I any idea who the 4 pointer will be?

Alex Davis no longer riding for Plymouth due to work permit.

It says on the BSPA website, Teams race 24 meetings (12 home, 12 away). I read on the forum there is going 14 home and away, I guess they have just failed to update the website.

This could work well for both teams, but I am not sure if future riders will become assets of Poole or Scunthorpe.

According to the fixtures Scunny are playing Redcar twice home and away in the PL.

One things for sure he will get a slagged off unless GB win gold, some peoples expectations are too high.

Looks like Scunthorpe will be racing sunday afternoons to start with and then switching to Fridays latter in the year.

Anybody know if Russia will use their first team this year?

what would be a good year for Rosco and team GB...... a medal, reaching the final, reaching the play offs?

Will this amateur meeting be on and if so which riders will be partaking. Weather looks dry but bloody cold.

Last year only 5 riders put 2 or more points on their average, C Cook, C Heeps, R Worral, L kerr and M Dyer.

Sunday afternoons was mentioned a while back.

The more I think about Scunthorpe's team the more I like it, If Douglas carries on where he left off last year I reckon he could put a point on his average but he would probably still be at reserve.

Scunthorpe's total average is 42.39.

I think he will be OK at scunny but will struggle away.

Happy with this team but I am not sure about matt w is he ready for the PL.

I think a similar youth development scheme might work in the premier league but not in the elite league. Its just a recipe for some boring races. Darcy ward versus josh bates, edge of your seat stuff. Some of the riders are not even good enough for the PL never mind the EL. I imagine the race format will be similar to Sweden where there are 2 reserves races.

New Tractor? Stags team in the NL I think.

Simon Stead signs for Sheffield, http://speedwaystar.net/News.aspx

I have watched a lot of Swedish speedway and I can honestly say it is no more entertaining than the British league, I can't comment on the value because I don't know how much it costs.

I do think BBC ignores speedway because of its working class image. Just look at all the other minority sports on their sports website, shooting, fencing and sailing to name a few, no mention of speedway though.

Is there a confirmed data for the AGM or will it be postponed until they know if there is a TV deal.

When I say play each other twice, I mean home and away twice so It would also be 28 meetings but could teams like Buxton and IOW afford to compete with the likes of Workington, Edinburgh and Newcastle?
