No disrespect to Jason,but with 8pts+ to play with it shows how dire the sport has become in GB top level when they cant get some decent European or Scandinavian talent to race in UK.It will certainly be interesting to see how he fares.

Jason won’t see which way Nicki went IMO.Still if Ipswich are stumping up good money to subsidise his Euro jaunt with his son(who is going places in his sport) why turn it down.Good luck to him though.One of the greats of the sport.

Or ordering a bigger one

Nothing new in that.

He broke his leg in 2012 which set him back a bit ,to say he was going nowhere is a it harsh.He is a decent heat leader in any Team.If I remember Berwick had a chance of getting him after his 1st broken leg on a3 pt av, but never took it.

Everybody knows you can never judge a Team on paper on the track is what counts.

While they were in the same Team ,Sam Jensen rode at No 4 in all his matches Bickley never got out of reserve ,Nicol has a higher average than both of them so will have to ride at 2 or 4. Jensen is replacing Bickley at reserve is my point.On what I saw last season that is a big +.

Technically your are replacing Bickley with Sam Jensen at reserve.Thats a big difference .IMO .Nicol is replacing the No 2 or 4 slot.Wells had a bad season for various reasons still managed a decent average though ,can see him as a good signing.

Riding at reserve last season most of the time

Underestimating Glasgow lower end,Nicol,Bailey& Jensen will be strong Imo.

Good luck with these prices ,he will need it.

?

You need to read to Post again.IMO.

Does the post not say that!

The trouble being the sport is built round averages and every season Clubs have to take a chance on riders unknown that could potentially be a “find” rather than stick with riders who have been about 3/4 years and don’t seem to be making much progress.Clubs that “ find “that reserve who comes good usually have a good season.Imo.

These guys have been around for a while unlikely to improve to any great level.Cant blame Promotion for taking a chance on new faces.Imo

Glasgow,Redcar,Leicester,Scunthorpe,Poole and Eastbourne in no particular order for Top6.IMO.

roughly 70/80% young Brits have not made it above Championship level in the last 10-15 years.IMO.Lets hope this crop do better.

Bit of dodgy weather around and they might stay in the house knowing they would see speedway if it was on.Wonder what the rules would be if the meeting started and was abandoned before Ht 12

Tend to agree ,outside the diehards there is not a lot of interest in the sport these days ,the club would risking people just staying at home paying £10 for the family to watch speedway.Good initiative by the promotion though.

Noticed that Berwick are at Edinburgh on 15th May,U/21 final at Redcar same day.Flint& Bickley could be involved in latter.

They will have to save up for Somerset,Cardiff and Leicester.!!!

Very surprised that Kennedy doesn’t have Team this year.

Agree,it’s not that long ago that Clubs had to ride 40+ meetings per season.Poole and Edinburgh don’t even share same race nights,they would have been better saying nothing as coming up with that excuse.Poole will have an alternate race day if they had to use it.

“Valid and confidential “ this years new buzz words in the rule book it seems.
