If Chris is back, Hans or Lambert with Shane’s would fit around him!

If he hasn’t......lambert and Kurtz would fit as your last two!!

The exact mentality of the British which is why 90% of brits don’t make it! Money for old rope, not praising the lad for having the balls to go all out and move on! People wonder why British speedway is in the doldrums

Looks like Danny Maassen has agreed terms somewhere in the UK........

If you did go down the Morris route you could go; Morris Allen Lawson Josh G Charles Wright Mark Riss 2.35 left Allen or Riss at reserve all year would be a strong tail especially at home

Would attract quite a few more Wasps fans over as well I'd imagine!

Always thought the U21 champion should get a WC pick - there is an argument they aren't ready but you don't know unless they are in.

True, but with the Pawlicki's and Magic sporting Red Bull apparel I'd be amazed if they didn't want to outnumber the opposition with their own riders

Well it is the Monster Energy Speedway Grand Prix and they are two of the flagship riders that Monster sponsor - Seems a no brainer that they would be in regardless of their current form / age. Based on the usual decisions made in the interests of speedway of course! Wouldn't say insane, maybe naïve.

mainly because they are all dinosaurs which is also why social media isn't used correctly as they dot understand it! The quicker the likes of Olly Allen, Simon Stead and Hawkins are in the 'Premiership' as team managers the better - friendly current / knowledgeable and they all have a laugh with eachother. Would create a much better watch for the viewer.

Pawlicki on those odds is more than worth each way

Which is a fair point, but nobody is Lauding Ford for bringing a Brit in to replace an Aussie where Leicester are being slated for the reverse - albeit with a Pole. Possibly me just reading things the wrong way. Was never going to be easy to replace Brady at this point in the season and probably the best of a bad bunch choice wise.

Poole slated for signing a 'young' Brit.. .Leicester slated for dropping one! Can't make it up can you!

Could you not swap Wilson Dean and Gapmier for Ayres and Sedgy?

There should only be 2 wildcards/seeds each year and 7 each from the qualifiers. The U21 champion and reigning champion should be straight in the next year and the rest made to fight for it. U21 has to go through if were pushing youth, didn't hear about the Bewley thing but that just shows how inept the BSPA are.

Which I totally agree with, be interesting to see if he makes the qualifier and doesn't qualify how much stick he gets for not taking the experience when getting the second/third chance (presuming he doesn't of course)

Reading Craig Cooks interview in the SGP website he says he's had several call from Poland -including the top league but won't give up his Brotish commitments for it- which a lot of people have been screaming at him for years for not doing- dammned if you dammed if you don't in this sport these days!

Agreed, spent the trip over from Newport telling my brother who only goes to Cardiff (beacause the family all go) that Brady was riding and he'd be a fool to miss him around the oak tree...... had to buy a lot of beers in return

Could you fit Alex Davies back in?

As much as I loathe the bspa reading this does have me thinking they are dammed if they do,dammed if they don't. We as fans have begged for brits to get a chance to develop in the 'top' league over here, they do and the warriors at saying X n y riders aren't good enough, waste of time etc etc....while I agree that it wasn't done 100% in the right way an attempt has been made to improve riders! Stevie Worrall for example has thrived. Fact is, we need the aussies, from my own experience it's rarely the brits that stay around after a meeting to chat with fans, have a beer in the old days have a laugh and joke...brits not so much. As a kid growing up I met Crumpy at Swindon in his first time there, he took the time to speak to me, even gave me a cap that I still have now...I've loved the sport ever since.. no Brit did that in 29 years of watching! Yet we lament the brits for interacting negatively on social media with fans.. primarily they are thryingnto provoke a reaction from a rider anyway. Th aussies are needed fact, we have to admit that while fans are willing to turn their back on our sport due to silly' rules were not funding the sport...the poles are all over it, they have money, they are successful ....they pay a shed load more, it's the place to be to progress which also has been said that the brits lack ambition by not getting Polish spots or taking their chances there.....exactly what the aussies are doing! While I understand Matt Fords point of view that he wants his riders here to ram in the crowds he's not the big dog in the sport any more!

If the Chapman's are now involved at Leicester would Norrie Allen still be TM? Could you see Mads returning if he isn't given the Kings Lynn link?

You could go buzz and Ludwig with sedgman if Wozniak isn't back! Or Schlein for either.... I think

How about; Nilsson Auty Summers Sedgeman / ludvig Wozniak Ashley Morris Ben Morley

Clegg, a 2 pointer and huckenbeck would fit?

Was just looking at who's left, Brady seemed to be someone mentioned a lot on here. Todd fits and has had a few good meetings up there and Alex also fits, meaning one of him or Lambert would be at reserve.(or TK)
