Welcome signing but the team IMO still lacks the out and out No1 and with the points left we are very unlikely to get one.

Looks like the promotion are going down the route of signing a number of last years riders, which is all well and good. But last years team had an out and out No1 in Nick Morris and in one of Gappmaier and Etheridge a heavy scoring reserve, it is to be hoped we will see a similar thing will happen for 2018 though with the out and out No1 it is difficult to see where that rider would come from.

No disrespect to him but IMO Mathew Wethers isn't going to be the answer.

If everyone just within forum rules then no thread would need to be blocked ever, sad that a few just can`t bring themselves to do that simple thing.

Based in Berwick, workshop here, and at the end of last season all seemed to indicate a return to Berwick for 2018. I haven't heard of anything that would change that.

And Jye has said one or two unsavoury about Edinburgh, funny how an offer of a team place and a few quid in the back pocket can change things. I would still be amazed if Jye Etheridge ended up at Edinburgh for next season.

SWC week was great, lots of speedway with the race off and final at the same track usually producing excellent racing. I think what the FIM have done will be a very poor second, Pairs speedway IMO just doesn't work.

Seems that most team are going for an out and out No1 or two heavy hitters up top, especially with the new tac sub rule, so seeing last years No1 Nick Morris going to Lakeside must be a blow to Berwick as you would think we would be keen to see him back at Berwick. Good signing in Aaron Summers, a few on here put his name forward a few seasons ago when he left Edinburgh. He has made himself into a good Championship rider and should do a good job. Hopefully he will have riders to back him up and even take over from his No1 spot, time will tell.

No team announcement tonight.

Harris has a Championship average where Nicholls hasn't, maybe that has something to do with it.

Danny King Nico Covatti Cameron Heeps Micheal Haertel Rory Schlein Danny Hulme

Would this be same Jason Doyle that rode a good chunk of last season for all of his clubs with a broken foot. Any criticism of Doyle for that reason is harsh to say the least.

Good luck to Leon Flint on his move into National League racing with Birmingham.

No Greg Hancock.

Broc Nicol possibly.

Delighted to see the Comets confirming that they will race next season as it would have been very easy and understandable if the Workington promotion had decided to walk away. It is to be hoped the stay away fans of Workington speedway return in numbers to support their team.

You do come out with some tripe at times.

One of my biggest regrets is never seeing Tomasz Gollob ride, so I am delighted to see him now out of hospital and continuing his rehabilitation that one day will see him walk again.

Great progress on fixed nights, but no agreement.

Sometimes it takes time to come to the correct decisions.

Whilst I echo your argument I think it would be unfair on the likes of Doolan and/or Howe to be shown the door. Both are very dependable riders, ok their good nights aren`t that great but equally they very rarely have poor nights. Doolan has been very reliable over the last few season and I fully expect him to be the first name on the team sheet, Howe came into our team as a massive gamble and IMO very much rode himself into reckoning into next years team though if they change the team limits his average could count against him.

Your most probably right, though replaced by who, IMO its all much of a muchness when it comes to picking the BSPA Chairman.

And who can blame them, the choice between a Ginger Nut and a Chocolate Digestive needs to be carefully debated. Guests, doubling up can wait, this is serious stuff.

Whilst there is no doubt that the racing at Scunthorpe can be very good I feel the facilities may need to be upgraded somewhat before we see a SWC event there. Belle Vue get my vote, great track great facilities.

Don`t see Nick Morris back at Berwick next year, he seems to be looking at a Swedish team for next year to go along side his team in Poland and Swindon in the Premiership. Richard Lawson might be a better shout, its fairly obvious he is leaving Glasgow though if recent rumours that Lakeside are joining the Championship are true you would think he would be high on their list for a team spot there.
