A new young rider to the league comes in on a 2 point average until he gets an official one after riding 4/6 home/away meetings, think it's 4 now used to be 6

What I was saying was that various teams  couldn't use an assessed average rider until he had a proper average. That went from 2 pointers through to 8 pointers in the top league.

I think it's good for young riders to get as much track time as possible so don't see the problem.

He’s already done plenty of laps around Northside.

One of Cooper's favourite tracks, finished 3rd in the U19 final beating a certain Mr cairns in the process, also done many more laps in the British youth championships.

Something Poole fans know nothing about, as they don't put on youth meetings, just splash the cash to get the young ones to sign up 😲

Goosed my non refundable hotel booking for the 2nd May though.

Should know by now Steve you have to have a hotel booked on cancellation if you are trying to follow speedway one never knows what can happen  😀. You can still stay over on way yam from scummy but come across A66 instead of heading up A1 to Berwick 😜

Jr would have rode last season for the Scunthorpe NDL team but not surprisingly was only offered coppers to ride by the owner & bspl chairman just saying 

They all should be riding for coppers, it’s the national league not a pension fund

Hard as it is on jamie i think the plan was after 3 home 3 away the averages would change and young perry was coming in,so do u grab him now or use guests??

I can't imagine they'd have expected the averages to go down though?

Cook, Jeppesen & especially Zischke would've been looked at to up their averages!
