Dunno about TaylorJ but I am How's that for honesty Regards THJ

Jake Allen has said no & is loyal to the Scorpions for a second time.

I thought the lower points limit was there to stop the likes of Cook coming into the CL. The league will still be too strong for some of the young riders expected to move up from the NL.

He may have deep pockets but from what I am hearing he has very short arms!

Ok. How about... Got pisse 'tired and emotional' in Poland, missed the Sunday flight, had to fly in early Monday morning and arrived feeling hungov dehydrated. That better?

Now here I am being good and refraining myself commenting on the Glasgow thread , but low and behold you keep popping your ugly heads up on ours Tero has Polish commitments on a Sunday I believe , so unless he has his own Rocket I doubt he would make it back to Newcastle for a 6.30pm tapes up !! So naff off back to your own thread and celebrate that big surpise (Not) of a team you have , leaving Rasmus to last, as the big unveil no-one knows about , looking forward to seeing his cheesy video Lets hope he takes to the Glasgow track as well as DP otherwise you be swinging on that long tail you've got

I expect he could be persuaded by the refurbished heating in the changing rooms

Troy flakey, but achieving 7.69. You need to look at all the puff pastry that’ll be returning to Poole next season! And no Chris Harris to bail you out!

What is this a Speedway forum or Homes under the Hammer

Just amazed the action hero supertroll did not allude to this signing.....

Lampart - 4.58 - Rosco has confirmed this on various social media platforms so no idea why you're saying it's 4.37.

If it makes you feel better, so am I. There are ways and means of doing business - but I guess it takes 2 to tango and Rasmus could have said no. Anyway, good luck next season.

I remember too, but sadly you have a certain management/promotion of a Scottish team so desperate and hell bent on doing anything they can to get a Trophy , then crying all over social media about how skint they are yet still manage to throw cash at riders (after they had agreed terms) ..... bitter about Rasmus ...yes I am too

If he has aspirations of getting back into the GPs riding championship especially with how watered down it is probably isn’t the best move. End of the day he’s probably getting a rather decent wage for beating NL riders so why not.

Bloody hope so

That's good... they are forecasting a wet summer next year

Are we not aloud to be confident? Most other teams would be if they’d named the top 4 we have. If Poole had named Doyle, Batch, Ellis, Musielak I’m sure we’d be told that there was no point in turning up as the league was already won.

I dont know how much they pay the riders but going by some on here it is too much. Rider cost was only part of the problem though, staff wages in other areas have been cited , factor in upgrades to stadium area, track , advertising and it all mounts up. The same observation can be made about your own team and i am not having a go at Edinburgh here ,they also made similar noises two seasons ago hence the fans fighting fund. Same thing as ourselves except the owners are picking up the loss and not the fan fund. I do see were you are coming from though and it is just not a Glasgow problem, but we don't help ourselves with the statement released and then allegedly offer big wages , if indeed we have it is only conjecture.

All the people who were slating Belle Vue yesterday can now see who the unprofessional person was.

I`d be surprised if NB Jacobsen wasnt confirmed quite soon for return to Berwick in 2019, just a guess though. On a different subject how encouraging is it to see the continuing improvement in Ricky Ashworth. Possible para Olympian.

You would if you saw him regularly at the Showground brum, absolutely brilliant there. Away form was always a bit suspect though, mainly on the tight tricky tracks ...

I wouldn't trust him either

Not heard anything about sponsorship at all, not sure when the two year deal is up and even more uncertain of it's continuation now that we have new owners of the club and what effects it will have , but I would hope they are willing to carry on with there excellent support that they have already given to the club as it is valued highly for there help. Regardless which ever way they choose to go , I think we should thank them for the way they have supported the club in there quest to lay foundations for the clubs future.

Don't have time to check but assume you've posted the same on the Leicester and Somerset pages as the likes of Harris, Nicholls, Schlein, Worrall won't be cheap but then ironically Somerset, Leicester and Glasgow will all have young UK riders in there team. And will the 12.19 used up by Cook and Lawlor cost more than say Wilson-Dean (6.00) and Doolan (6.09) Await post from THJ to gives us the honest facts

I dont do it on purpose, I had what I thought was a source close to the club, I won’t be listening to him again.

Is it really in Buster’s interest to build a power house team at any of his 3 venue’s? Surely he wants close exciting meetings. No good having a strong team at Boro and packing the place if no sod turns up at Foxhall or Saddlebow. i would suggest he wants 3 evenly balanced sides

There seems to be that many variations of teams about but if starke and barker are at reserve it will take some beating

Probably Frank.

Can’t understand why the Aces aren’t standing by a rider who has bleed Aces blood for his team. Much more to this than meets the eye, especially since Cook has now refuted the statement by Belle Vue. Dont think there has been a more loyal servant to the Aces than Cook in recent years, sometimes loyalty really means little. Be interesting to see who the Aces are planning on using next season then now. Fricke looks nailed on. Just wonder if Bewley is going to be fit to start the year .

Watching both the Aces and the Colts at the NSS I have seen brilliant racing in meetings involving them both. However, the overall quality of racing is undoubtedly better in the PL meetings. Generally, there are more good races involving more passing and closer racing, which is what I would expect because of the higher skill levels of the riders. However, having said that, the entertainment served up in the NL meetings is good and arguably better value for money at half the price of the PL meetings.

Your last five words may be partly the explanation!

Cook owns Wells?

Wolves never sold him he's still our asset.

Bloody hell! How thick can you get?

Personally I'm not a massive Batch fan but at number 5 he'll be better than some number 1's. I expect Doyle & Batch to score around 25 points per meeting between them. Those two should take the p!ss. If Adam & Tobi then add a combined 15 points then the top 4 will have 40 points between them....I think the 4 are more than capable of achieving that.

Would be a bargain on 6.02 average.

I think his antics from last season getting the Glasgow meeting called off along with Schlein Will scupper both their chances of being at foxhall. Also the incident a few years ago when he kicked off and was banned from the meeting

'cos riders will tell supporters what they want to hear.

Not denying his level in GB ,but should he really be riding in Championship giving the problems in the sport,and what the BSPA said they are trying to remedy by lowering points limit to bring GB youngsters into the league and cut costs.He won’t be cheap but if a club are willing to pay we can’t really complain,it’s not his fault.Sport is still in the same mess for another year IMO.

To be fair he still is pretty good regardless; and Glasgow have a quality No 1 who will probably end 2019 with a double figure average; and at this level he is definitely better than he might think; and I would suggest every club in this league would like to have him in their team without a shadow of doubt. Will be a force to be reckoned with and will guarantee points in heats 13 and 15 for sure Regards THJ

Fair do's just saying like .

Bit harsh, Cookie was a run off away from being back in the GP next season.

But you don't know if my head is ugly or not I demand you retract that statement I am so bitter about that and our videos are not cheesy (well maybe they are) but I am so offended about that as well. And one last thing how do you know if Tero doesn't own a rocket lots of maybes aye and maybes naw in that post oh dear sweet Zelda.

A very poor signing in my opinion, he wasn't too bad last time but has gone downhill since, probably won't get sacked though as Swindon like keeping the same team all year even if it means them finishing bottom!

Julie I remember when speedway fans just liked speedway and were friends with any fan who liked the same. i also remember when speedway was fun between the fans and the riders and the opposition. Seems to have all gone so tribal nowadays

Sorry no not yet - only two signings announced and I’m hoping I will feel more upbeat once more are known. Very pleased to have binned afternoon racing though - I hate it - Speedway needs to be under lights. Fans have posted some good suggested line-ups on here and I hope one of them is close.

This had been suggested on the Glasgow thread. Never would the holiest of holy Comets ever do such a thing. They are the only sacred spirits in the world of speedway just now.

I think he's worth a punt on 4.7(ish) average at reserve or #2.

I think they'll be no Brits this year, Mark Lemon will put a Team Aus together so Brits don't get much track time for SON/SWC's in future at GREAT BRITAIN'S NATIONAL SPEEDWAY STADIUM.
