An emotive post THJ and after losing both parents in the last two and half years one I can relate too. I have an idea how much you have done for the Comets and would just like to say a very big thank you, your help in all the ways you mention has been invaluable. Best wishes to yourself and Dad for Xmas and 2019 fella.

You had a 50/50 chance of getting it right and still got it wrong!!!

Hans is a solid scorer and will do well at Peterborough- he’s a good team man who will help the rest of the team

You've got a good un in Ash. He has served the Diamonds well these last few seasons. Good Luck to him.

We are not worthy of such information , it's a bit like a second hand car dealers price guide catalogue i'm afraid.

If any rider was loyal to his team it was Cook, unbelievable that they would let him go.

Typical the troll from reading goes quiet and the other one posts

What a load of rubbish moaning about things that haven't even happened and not likely to happen. If it does happen THEN have a good old moan

The truth is that NOBODY on here knows. We don’t know to what extent their business relation is. The deal with Peterborough could be totally different from the deal he has with Ipswich. We know Louis has insisted on certain clauses and has a buy back option, we haven’t heard of anything similar with Peterborough. One Lynn fan told us on here not to expect any rider announcements this side of Christmas, it’s the Buster way. And yet Peterborough have just announced two and we’re looking to reveal the full 7 before Christmas! Nobody knows exactly what details are involved with this so called “commercial” deal.

Welcome back Adam - never in doubt and a solid scorer who is still improving

There is one on now of him getting Pis*ed in the Crystal Palace (Wetherspoons) singing oh the Edinburgh are shi*e at the top of his voice. He is not a bad singer is Craig and a very musical tune he has chosen.

Nobody really knows why Craig as been omitted from BV , high wage demands are just speculation, what I will say is that after 8 years at Belle Vue , CC was everything you’d want from a Speedway rider ... loyal , committed, gave 100% every meeting , i certainly wish him the best wherever he ends up

If you were talking of riders such as Mauger, or Crump you might have had a point, you are having a laugh if you think cook adds to the gate, If he's pricing himself out then its time for him to go, the management have a budget and have to stick to it.

Just great to see Mitch back on a bike wherever he rides.....top bloke !

Thats because you are the same person......what a sad little life you must lead

Hans is still a force in the top flight, good signing.

can someone please ban this tool

Keep up the good work!

Quite jealous actually always gives his best and although not the rider he was, he will at the very least achieve his average.

A solid rider who seems to go well at PB....good signing imo !

You don't enjoy watching Klindt's amazing racing skills & wholehearted gutsy performances weekly? What's wrong with you?

If he comes in on his 2012 average of 4.58, we can’t sign Stefan Nielsen and Zach. Surely, Jake Allen 4.56 or Summers 4.58 would have made more sense on that average? Bonkers.

Cookie signs

Welcome back Tero, pretty sure the Diamonds fans will be disappointed. Could be a big season for the likeable Finn who has shown signs in recent seasons of being capable of taking the next step of achieving consistent heat leader status. If this does materialise then it can only help in the big heats.

Wow. A day of mega surprises for diamonds fans. Nike Lunna signed. Where did that come from. Never expected that. Ash gone. GUTTED! Maybe a bigger surprise than the Lunna signing. Had him nailed on as a dead cert for 2019 diamonds. Really disappointed he's chose to go elsewhere. Tero to Workington. Whilst possibly not as big a surprise, again a dissapointment. Not sure where our team building goes now., last years's engine room has been ripped out.

Its all about opinions .... My personal opinion is saying Belle Vue are stuffed in early December is way to premature

It is what it is, looking forward to a few new names. Would like to see Bjerre back and one of the Holders.

What difference does it make? They've removed the one good rule they implemented, that of getting less points if you win your home matches by less than 6, therefore it doesn't matter if they only win by 2 every week if they're improved away from home.

Good signing always get 100% from Tero.

Well just need every poster to report its posts.

The bloke faked a family members death on the Reading forum years ago, anything is possible with him.

Remember in previous years in play off meetings against Poole. He had BV blood running through his veins and was totally commited. He was gutted more than anyone when they just missed out winning. If I had been a BV supporter I could not have wished for a more commited rider. Full of raw emotion for BV to do well. It was not just another European Club for him as part of global track riding around Europe. In some ways I kind of hated the guy, but maybe it was part envy as that's the kind of commitment and sense of elation/grief I want to see from more riders when they are trying their best for the team and are GENUINELY gutted when they lose out. For many of the top riders its almost a sense of just another meeting and off to POL/SWE/DK tomorrow so doesn't mean too much. Maybe also being British he has also felt a real connection to the team over the years he has been with BV.

Ashley Morris is a really good signing, a solid second string who has had a good few seasons up on Tyneside, so its easy to see why alot of Newcastle fans wanted him back. He averaged 6+ at home last year and for me hes more than capable of putting a points on his 5.44 average esp now the points limit has been reduced. David Mason said in the double page feature in the Speedway Star that all the team has been signed up and we be announced before christmas.

No thanks! That team would be awful.

Adam indicated in one of the interviews that if we complete with the team he knows of then we will be very competitive at the top & bottom end.

The team needed changing, we had become the nearly team, not quite good enough. management sometimes have to for various reasons make choices, and I will fully support the team that they select for 2019. Belle Vue could be accused of being too loyal to riders, when changes were needed.

Can we please keep this thread and forum free from football except, perhaps, where directly relevant to speedway. It is, after all, a Speedway forum. There must be some sort of Football forum for such discussions. Football, a sport which in my opinion is predominantly played by vastly-overpaid cheating peacocks (nearly used a banned word there!), already pollutes around 99% of the sports pages in all newspapers, precludes a quiet drink in my local as 17 large screen TVs blare out some obscure foreign match, and was responsible for the major disruption to the 2018 speedway calendar resulting in the farcical fixtures fiasco in September/October. Its persistant claim to be our "National Sport", whatever that means, only serves to demean a wide range of other sports and activities. Don't let it take over this forum too. Please.

I think that with the following he has personally this could backfire on BV with reduced gates.

Yeah but Holders a bell

He has been binned according to the man himself and the management didn't even tell him. Learnt through a 3rd party. I'll take that apology now thanks Gavan!!

It's getting closer to happening as each day passes

Mitch Davey has tweeted he's on the look out for NL/CL team places for 2019 - he wasn't given the 3.00 average required for PL racing...…. Would like to see him back at the Barr.

Here you go https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=pubs+close+to+ibrox+stadium&oq=pubs+near+ibrox&aqs=chrome.3.69i57j0l3.10646j0j4&client=ms-android-tmobile-gb&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#istate=lrl:mlt Hopefully keep you off this thread for a while.

Good news about Ellis. Hes going the right way and I found it ridiculous that anyone could have put together a predicted/wanted 1-7 without him in it this year. I'm not as worried about a weak bottom end to the team as most. We are going to be a lot stronger at number 1 this season and whilst I wouldn't have wanted Batch back as a number 1, he is probably the best number 5 in the league. So far so good.

who cares where we heard it first, why not let the clubs announce who they are signing or are you on some sort of mission to announce who has signed who before the clubs have chance to let their supporters know,why be a spoiler?

The troll never learns

I’m very doubtful Rory will go anywhere near a club that Buster is involved with .

Welcome home Hans

Zach Wajtknecht is rider number 4

I bloomin' well hope so !
