It's a shame to read this, because I thought he could develop into a decent level of rider, but this isn't promising.

Imagine if he reached the GPs and realises he'd have to leave the country nearly every other weekend?!

I think it is safe to say that this is a dilemma he won't need to face ..😁

Ablitt in Speedway Star this week saying he had had talks with Berwick but the travelling put him off

I can understand turning down Berwick for another club closer to home (Plymouth) but not turning down Berwick just to compete in the NL/NT.

He might get a team mid season, but there's no guarantee.

Surprised that Berwick Management have not commented on the Rory rumours one way or other.Did he sign for next season and is in the Team.

I believe that Schlein will start the season with Berwick to get them out of a team building hole, but they have a replacement lined up for mid season

When does Nick Morris ban end 👀

Will be a bit rusty and should be tested every meeting.

If that's the case it's time to get the other 2 names out oh I forgot they don't comment on anything till they've got something to comment on so going on that basis we're still don't have them signed be good if knew before Xmas.

I am not sure Newman would love the drive from Weymouth for a home meeting . If you go by the rumours we are looking for 3 riders not 2.

He did it a few years back with Newcastle.

One way or another he should be forgotten about, and if he's any sence should have got a proper job by now.....

With the lack of genuine heat leaders in this league there’ll always be someone will to take a chance on him imo.

Matic Ivacic 4.00

I can only assume you didn’t see any Glasgow meetings last season, or you’ve suffered a serious brain injury.

The word ”woeful” doesn’t even cut it. The biggest letdown in the history of Glasgow speedway.

I've not seen him ride, I'd agree he was a terrible signing on a 6.00 average, but on a 4.00 at reserve, could be a different story?

I guess my thinking is that riders like James Pearson & Jacob Hook had poorer averages in their first seasons, but got signed up again?

Ivacic was a good gater but offered nothing beyond that, and gave no hint of any improvement over the time he was at Glasgow. Could do a decent job as reserve at a gaters paradise on a 4 but would not be UK based and therefore expensive, plus he's in his 30s whereas Pearson and Hook were much younger. I would doubt that Ivacic will be back anywhere in the UK. 

Nick Morris is a favourite rider of Stewart Dickson, so may well become a Bandit mid-season once his ban is over.
