The way things are looking at present Monarchs are likely to have a much stronger No.6 next season - say a 5.00.    So if Colesy was the one to get the 7 racejacket this may be less of an issue as the senior reserve could take an extra ride and a total of 7 if necessary.    Although some  clearly have misgivings I reckon that Colesy would still be likely to outscore a rookie 2.00 No. 7 from what is likely to be available.  Of course, if Monarchs do manage to conjure up a 6.00 point man from somewhere, the 2.00 would have to come into play.  

@jenga clearly still on here under a different guise 

As already mentioned THJ had a big fall out with speedway in the grant era at Newcastle,  was a good sponsor to speedway in all areas not just Newcastle and worky. Was living part time I  scaryport,  wonder if anyone local has seen him. As for jenga not heard a peep for a while 

I wouldn't say he did. As senior reserve would have liked a bit more from him. Could gate well but then seemed to go back the way after the second bend.

I think the CL has a pretty good look about it next season, lots of new young faces which is always makes things interesting. Poole don't look all that (they'll probably make me eat my words) Redcar looking favourites for me. 

Shame they haven't used any former Kent riders as heat leaders and relatively local to make it a joint venture......think you might be alone on your views on the Eagles/Norris bit.
