Well at least it's better than this year's feeble outfit. Team as per Rye House website.............. Edward Kennett (8.38), Nikolaj Busk Jakobsen (7.00), Jason Garrity (6.75), Tyson Nelson (6.16), Steve Boxall (5.36), Kasper Lykke (4.65), Luke Bowen (3.96). Overall team total: 42.26.

You guys crease me up sometimes. So Sam is not quite number one material? Look at the Speedway Star averages........... Monarchs have 5 riders who are all way ahead of anyone at Ippo and Smiling Sam is number 6 on the PL top 10 (on 9.12 with bp)!! (Only Cookie, King, Barker, Lawson & Stead are ahead of him.) And remind me - was it the Smiler who knocked up a max in the KO Cup Final at Ippo recently??

They are in a no win situation though. However much they have already put in would still be seen as not enough.

Can't see him ride PL for anyone else. But of course he may not ride PL next year.

Got to agree with this post.

Never afraid when Craig Cook's on our side.

Craig Cook He's the best.

Outscored by Pavlova in some of those meetings ........... just saying!!

To be fair there are only 3 or 4 negative posters. Most of the positives are hopefully in the silent majority.

Good post NJC71. I have often thought riders need some proper professional management, though at the end of the day that costs money too.

Know him well do you?

I love reading these anti-Cookie jibes. I can just imaging how the grapes must be tasting. Make sure you brush your teeth at least twice a day to get rid of the bitterness.

Oh dear!!!

Fair enough - so that'll be a no!!

I prefer having an afternoon's speedway in July/August rather than in the dog days of October. Even if it rains, it's warmer rain. Speedway in October is bleak.

"Some of the steep track banking has also been removed - although you wouldn't notice it to look at it! " I don't suppose this refers to the camber on turn 1!!

There are still a few heat sponsorships available. But at least 2/3rds are gone. I'll probably need to be careful not to big up Monarchs (too much) on mine!! Anything to help keep peterborough going though.

Well I have booked my heat sponsorship so I'm doing my bit!! Just need to sort out some not too offensive wording!!

So the fours would have to run in October?

But panthers started the season with a decent team.......

Don't announce who's in each race and see if they notice!!

Assets mean nothing other than loan fees. It's where the rider wants to race that is important and who is offering the best real.

Staying with Peterborough hopefully.

Why would one be out? Just moving one up the main 5.

No.
