Cue Ball

Hearing some rumours about Aussies not getting permits to ride over here with 20+ riders effected - do we need to be concerned about Ty and Taylor?

Just nice to be a Tigers supporter (from either side of the border) and not be associated with the wooden spoon within the first few posts! Both teams should be play off contenders at the very least

Only 2 races where not everybody finished wasn't there? He also finished one race with a flat tire. You've got to be in it to win it, and he finished every race, that has got to be the plus point. Agree he isn't going to be a world beater by March, but don't think it is all doom and gloom just yet - would be interesting to know if he was way off the pace or just losing out at the start

He didn't fall off and scored in every race, not too bad for his first competitive meeting for a few years - the only way is up!!

Shame half the riders mentioned never rode in the PL

Stead, wells, covatti, king, Franc, cook - enough riders in the Premier league to form a World Cup team! Can't all be bad

Enjoyed watching Skidders ride when he was at Sheffield, but don't think he will achieve the aforementioned 8 point average - I've been waiting for him to kick on for a few years now and it has never happened, don't see 2015 being any different. He is a 7 point rider at best it seems (would like to be proved wrong as I do like him, but just can't see it). Hall is more than capable of upping his average to over 7 - it has been up there for several years and last year was a very uncharacterisic blip. In from the start of the season and equipment prepared, he will do the Bears proud.

He posted on twitter along the lines of disappointed not to be back, but will see what the new year brings, doesn't sound like he is intent on retiring just yet. Don't know anything about Jack Lee to be honest, but sounds like he has some experience, so what's the worst that can happen?!?

New manager to be announced at 10pm... Place your bets ladies and gents

So... Manager gets announced next week, what the hell do we do for the 3 months after that?!?!? Happy with the team, should turn a few heads and if they can all stay fit, Owlerton should be the fortress it once was and we'll pick a few points up on the road too

Thanks

Thanks, knew it was one of the 2!! Thought Sweden ran on a Tuesday? Or is that just the top league?

Proctor will be riding in Denmark next year according to his twitter account... don't they ride on a Thursday over there?

Given the number of hints dropped, I would be surprised if it isn't Proctor, but if it isn't then Andre or Ben would be risk free options

But rides like a number 1 in Sheffield and to the majority of fans, that is what counts

Has anybody heard how Proctor is doing recovery wise?

Taylor Poole back at Sheffield

Like!! If he can regain his pre-injury form, he will smash this season

Feeling for Andre and Ben in all this, seems harsh on them both if they don't get included in the septet given how well they rose last year. That said, has anybody heard how Andre is doing?

Risager signed for Plymouth, so that solves that problem

If you need a P, you'd best go to the toilet... Think Sissis is a gamble on a 5 when he probably hasn't sat on a speedway bike for a couple of years. If he can live up to his potential though, could be a very astute signing

Sissis has tweeted that he is coming to the UK in February. Think the only question marks are the fitness of Poole and Proctor - if fit they will be riding for us (I would imagine)

He is too good not to get fixed up somewhere

Well, that was a shock

Wells to Workington Jorgy to Berwick and Wolbert to Edinburgh all been announced
