I am all for signing young riders as assets,I but don't think he will be near his 7 point average in his first season,could you explain how we strengthen if he obtains a low average without dropping him.I have asked this question on this subject before but nobody wants to answer.Even if we lose all our matches the rolling averages of the other team members won't change much.

THAT IS HIS PL AVERAGE YOU REALLY NEED TO READ THE RULES.

Ireally don't understand what you have against him without seeing him perform at Shielfield on a regular basis.He has a PL average over 7 points which is no mean feat IMO .Did he refuse you his autograph last season.!!

The track record at Berwick will take some beating ,the track is a lot slicker on the outside line than when Alden broke it .

Australian results don't mean a lot IMO .

we probably blew our budget on Ben!!

or Berwick?

I think that's the case with a lot of foreigners these days,just pocket money in GB saving themselves for abroad and bigger money.

Very doubtful IMO ,he is not even an asset.

Mainly because nobody is saying he isn't .

Yep ,Personaly think we dodged a bullet with Matej on that average.though I thank him for the good season he had with Bandits last year.

A whip round should get the £301 no problem,now who are we going to sign for 2015?

Watched the video great to see Ricky making progress,long way to go but he is determined,keep it up Ricky.

Ithink there is a lot of riders on the continent that would ride to near a 7 pt average but the bottom line is they won't come to UK to ride for PL pay rates.Gone are the days when you find a Shane Parker or Les Collins dropping down.

Typical speedway rules nobody has a clear idea on this matter,or if the Promoters have ,they are not telling the fans as this has been under discussion on here for a couple of weeks.

I'm a bit confused with your theory,does the rolling averages not stop this from happening.If the assessed riders drop their average and you want to keep them who do you drop from the Team? Did Newcastle not try this with Danny King last year and it failed because they had to drop 2 riders to get 1 so called decent signing into the Team.

I have always maintained that you need at least 1 good reserve to win any honours,

Would be a decent signing.No further than a lot of previous Bandirs though.

Then we have you telling everybody we should pay £20 entrance fee.!!!!!

Lakeside.

That's the way it crumbles.

Think he won his first 2 races one night and was taken out in Heat 8 by a monarch .Anyway he will probably come back to haunt us when Sheffield visit Berwick.He seemed to lose interest at Berwick last season ,he is a talent IMO and is still young.

They are planning another Cookie night in the winter so think it is safe to say he might be returning!!!!!!

Agree,as long as we can afford them.
