Yep, of course. It's Buster's and rest of the BSPA's fault Belle Vue went up the s#!+€r.

Milik knocks back the Pirates http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/14878977.Speedway__Milik_off_the_table_for_Pirates/?ref=twtrec

I just don't get why people are saying Poole should sign Ellis? I Ford doesn't think he fits the direction he wants to take the team so be it, that's Speedway I'd have Ellis at King's Lynn though as I think he'll still improve on his actual 2016 EL average

No it hasn't, SGB Premiership Twitter account is an "Unofficial Fan Page" so certainly not officially confirmed at all

1. Kim Nilsson 9.63 2. Anders Thomsen 8.29 3. Robert Lambert 8.76 4. Tobiasz Musielak 6.34 5. Danny King 9.57 6. Kai Huckenbeck 5.14 7. Josh Bailey 2.27 50.00

We've supposedly bought King as an asset. If he's signed and we remain a Thursday track it's Ipswich that miss out, not us I'm struggling to put a side together if only 2 double up riders are allowed

A multi million pound facility being open for only 6 months and already gone bust is not a "magnificent achievement". It's absolute failure, nothing else. Your support is as delusional as the outgoing owners.

Some reports are suggesting only 2 double - uppers per team. Could be a bit of a problem for us if true King Lambert Rose Kerr Bailey That's 5 I'm sure will want to be in both leagues

Kai Huckenbeck is the best value rider out of everyone on a 5.14

Bailey would start as a 3.00 Rider's averages can only go down to 2.00 after the first set of greensheets

1. Iversen 12.66 2. Huckenbeck 5.14 3. Lambert 8.76 4. Porsing 6.97 5. King 9.57 6. Sissis 3.79 7. Perks 3.00 Ave 49.89

All self employed can be restricted by contract. The company my old man works for has self employed plumbers and electricians signed up so they can't do work elsewhere between 8am - 8pm Monday to Friday.

I believe every business legally has to have someone employed full time for Health and Safety

After the injuries he's sustained no way will he come back smashing 10+ scores each meeting. Absolutely no chance. Not just physically but mentally he's got to get back into the swing of racing as he won't be getting much racing over the winter.

Swindon would be mad not too get Doyle in. Coming back from injury would see his average at the 1st greensheets drop to about 7 as he tries to get back in the swing. This meaning you can sack a reserve and bring in another heatleader

Good for Lambert if that's the case as we know, Speedway can be a short career and if someone is willing to pay silly money you have to take it

Really? He's on a 9.23 average

That is the kind of situation the Premiership is in until the first greensheets

King's Lynn 1. King 9.57 2. Porsing 6.58 3. L.Bjerre 6.62 4. Hansen 6.25 5. Lambert 8.76 6. Kerr 6.16 7. Rose 5.86 49.80

Really?!?!? After the 1st set of greensheets you believe some teams would have maintained a 50 average?!?!?

Poole have the deepest pockets, advantage Poole already with the 50 team average

This is my point earlier No team will hold their 50 point average That 13.41 is likely to drop to around 9 on the first greensheets This means a team with the deepest pockets will sack a 4 pointer for an 8 pointer immediately

It is x1.4 as confirmed below https://twitter.com/SpeedwayGB/status/794200022145531906

Spotted an issue already SpeedwayGB have said averages will be real as of the 1st set of greensheets. If the premiership team building is 50 it's almost impossible for any team to maintain that figure. Effectively, the teams with the biggest wallets can replace reserves for heatleaders after the 1st set of averages. The gap from top to bottom of the Premiership could be bigger than ever

Both leagues using the same averages is quite a big change. The top league going back to the original 15 format is a big change. Brining the KO Cup back into the top league is quite a big change. The BSPA are looking at doing something with Gerhard & ruduced rider costs, quite a big change. Seeing Rye House & Somerset in the Premiership is exciting for the division. 2 tracks I like anyway.
