I can answer your last sentence, YES.

Garrity and Newman being 8pt men in EL says all about EL.L

Better than a 2nd string,but not yet an out an out No1.his dodgy shoulder will always be a bit of a worry for him though,it's a troublesome injury in this type of sport.

Tough decision for Cook,one of the problems with riding in Poland seems to be if you have a bad meeting you get dropped for the next couple whether contracts take that into account I don't know but you can see that is only Worlds top riders that are required every week.Best of luck to him if he decides to give it a go,you feel it's now or never for him though.

Vissing might be on their radar given his record at Ashfield and average.Time will tell.

More likely Sheffield or Glasgow if not Berwick IMO

For Glasgow yes!!!!!

Would like to see TJ and Vissing back from last years Team ,not sure it will happen though.

Thats good,probably waiting for our spokespersons report back from Aussie.

Not had a statement regarding Promoters meeting yet ,so we will having to be running first.Plenty time.

Lets face it the "Cook "factor makes a huge difference.No other Team had that,on top of that hardly any TEAMS can ride the Dale so home wins were relatively straight forward .We have the situation where everybody can ride Berwick and if they gate were in trouble as Home advantage seems nil whatever type of Team we put on track. how many seasons now has Ht13 & 15 been our Achilles heel,along with the Black and white tactical. Entertaining meetings must be the priority whatever Type of Team we assemble.

Is there big difference in cost ,fielding aTop Heavy Team or a strength -in team that is the question.

not really progressed much in the last couple of either IMO

With the situation at Ashfield these days,I've no doubt there will be a lot of riders forwarding their CV's to the club for next season.

Two great nights for Scottish Speedway with great crowds,don't know if it is just me but I find Armadale weird for atmosphere after the races there is plenty of noise on 3/4 bend stand and then in the home strait stand but during a race with everybody cheering it never seems to a buzz in the Stadium.Maybe it is so open on the far side of the Stadium that it does not keep noise In the stadium .( this is just an observation not a criticism )anyone else of the same opinion?

When was the last time Speedway got that amount of coverage.Speedway has lot to thank the Glasgow Publicity Officer for this type of coverage.Imo

Glasgow are though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok!

They certainly seem to complicate matters every year,must be the Alcohol !

we should not be "protecting" riders in certain heats, it just leads to anomalies and who can sign the better No 7 as has happened in EL.By all means have "3 point young rider" but just let them get on with it if they are good enough if not they can be replaced with another young rider. You can't Fast Track speedway riders it's just a stupid phrase IMO

Fine,only my opinion of your post though.

THANKS so just a bit of a stir then.

Perhaps you could explain how another sports deals with its finances has got to do with this thread?

Depends on deal rider makes with Promoter surely.Many variations I would imagine.

realistically can't see Barker back,an attractive average but past his best. Something wasn't right with that IMO
