Any takers?

 

1. T. Woffinden 8.45

2. J. Jenkins 4.49 (2.5% Discount)

3. L. Becker 6.88 or R. Lawson 6.83

4. T. Musielak 6.63

5. T. Brennan 7.05

6. B. Barker 3.37

7. J. Edwards (RS)

= 36.87 / 36.82

 

or

 

1. T. Woffinden 8.45

2. M. Pollestad 5.00

3. T. Musielak 6.63

4. K. Rew 6.19

5. T. Brennan 7.05

6. J. Jenkins 3.46 (25% Discount)

7. J. Edwards (RS)

= 36.78

No to Woffy, to many injuries now & they need to be looking to a younger generation.

Same with Barker as well.

The second line up looks ok but with someone else at number 1. 
 

Having said that can you really see Danny King not being involved.

[kevin bass]

I'm sure King and Rew will slot in somewhere as well as Brennan.

Pretty sure Pollestad would be a 6.00 looking at the last assessed averages rules. They either are 4.50 or 6.00 not a 5.00 anymore

So he has been 'promoted' to the top table because nobody likes him?

I know many feel everybody connected to Speedway is somewhat masochistic but that would be rather strange...

Plus - why would Chris care? Unless you're hinting he is staying....

It’s taken options to be so thin on the ground that only now an Ace gets a look in. 
If the other members vote different to Mark then it makes no odds what he thinks or doesn’t what to sign off.

Chris might think it’s worthwhile carrying on if he gets his own way again. It’s dangerous to stand up to his kind as the repercussions  for the whole sport are huge, as we have seen.

Richard Lawson does not have a PL team place.

Ah bless the Aces, always here to help when options get thin.

Chris Louis, Ritchie Hawkins and Danny King all leaving together after winning the big one seems a perfect send off imo.

I'm not sure Danny will be signed on a 6.50 after 2.5% Reduction considering it's only a 37.00 Limit, No value in that GSA imo considering he'd likely be riding as a Heat Leader rather than a Second String.

Technical Track specialist Luke Becker for an extra 0.38 is a much better option.

For me, Tobiasz Musielak 6.63 has to be the priority signing as his GSA holds a lot of value imo.

I'd happily have Rocket Man at Ipswich.

Been a consistent performer for years in this league where his GSA rarely drops.

Track specialist around King's Lynn and Leicester too which helps in a 5 Team League.

You’re not buying the line of a sixth team then? 😂

More chance of congress saying those rumored UFO's in area 51 are really real.

From what I've heard there seems to be a pretty good chance that Northampton will happen but time will tell. Things can change pretty quickly, both positively and negatively.

Pretty much, Reading between the lines.

They're hoping somebody with deep pockets is willing to throw a lot of money down the drain to run Northampton at Oxford.

What are everyone's thoughts on Jaimon Lidsey 7.87?

Been good in Australia and I think he's a rider who's only going to improve but the Foxhall record is a bit patchy however he wouldn't be riding against track specialists in every heat like he has been doing when competing as a visiting rider for Belle Vue.

[TB1]

All this and that's it's important to remember one thing above all. Yes we have club legends and they will be remembered for all eternity. However as I said before the promoters are custodians passing through and the interests of the club it's history and it's brand MUST come before everything above all.

I’ve been watching a bit of the Aussie series on BSN and he does look much improved.  However, I don’t think he goes well anywhere other than the NSS.  I’d prefer to see `Becker and Lawson rather than Lindsey and King

Average too high, ok when making the start but poor in traffic/first bend.

I definately think theres more to come from Becker he is the perfect build for a speedway rider I think he just needs an ex top level old hand to help him get up a couple of rungs on the ladder.

[TTT]

I forgot his average but what average would Scott Nicholls be on again?

Dream tail end would be Nicholls, Jenkins and Edwards @ 2, 6 & 7.
