It's because i dont rate the Swindon team as highly as some even though I did say they will finish higher than us. Dont know how thats biased. Wright 6th tier one and Nielsen 4th in tier 2 last season suggests Swindon do have weak reserves compared to others. Poole, Leicester and Belle Vue have far superior draft pairings plus Wolves with Howarth his scoring power should give them an advantage over Swindons pairing.

I was referring to Garrity if my post to Deanr1 wasn't clear.

Just going by what he averages in the PL and compare with riders who have an EL average he'll be looking to get around a 6pt average.

Has Starman hacked your account? How is it biased? Its not like I've said Coventry are going to win the league, I dont even think they'll finish above Swindon in fact im not sure we will finish above anyone. Ive even said you may squeeze into the playoffs!

I meant that he wouldn't have got offers, of course he would have! There is no way no one would offer him a deal for 2016 throughout Europe and the UK.

Morris as 2nd heatleader along with North/Josh G as 3rd heatleader it look quite weak. Swindon will do well at 2nd string, Sedgeman will do ok but even then i think there are a few more stronger 5th average riders around (Mads, Masters, Garrity, Kurtz). I think Swindon have one of the weaker draft pairings too. Might squeeze into 4th but Poole and Belle Vue are so far ahead of the rest

You have to love the spin that comes out of Poole sometimes. So North was going to stay in Australia if he didnt get offers? That was never going to happen was it?

Leicester would have priority on Barker as he's an asset if an EL club.

Apart from Poole and Belle Vue all the sides look pants. Dont know why people are rating Swindon so highly and King Lynn will need a top signing at number 1 for them to look good too. I agree our side looks pants too!

Dak confirmed on the official twitter feed.

No. Just that independent representation to be on the committee. Anybody who has never been involved in the sport. Your last sentence is probably true but shows what the sport has become due to self interest and poor management/planning.

Yes the clubs get a vote but they vote what the board presents them! PL board has independent members as well as 3 or 4 club owners. No one can tell me that someone with a bit of intelligence can not assume the position as an independent head of the BSPA along with some others. Other sports do it easily enough, by all means have 2-3 promoters on the board but it needs independent people to make it credible.

Last couple of visits to Coventry he's been garbage but was excellent before that round there.

Riders are available but for us it was severely limited when we signed Danny King as a d/u rider. We had pretty much no option but to go abroad and even then riders would wait for a Swedish and Polish spot before committing to Britain.

Rubbish! Someone else should be running the sport. You don't get the Man City's owner being chairman of the FA. The system British Speedway has is geared up for self interest and not for the best of the sport.

Just ignore him hopefully he will go away.

North is rumoured to be signing for Rybnik in Poland

The list in the Star is incorrect. Bech IS on the list

BSPA will release the list at some point today. Better late than never?

Keeping the format is the one thats most bizarre for me now that a reserve can move up.

Has having this heat leader list made any difference?

Garrity excluded 3 times and Bates 11, not sure if they were all crashes!

Game, set and match.

I agree, it seems he made a jump forward at PL level. Another jump forward this year from Josh and James and our reserve pairing will look ok. They will both need to sort their own little issues though.

Last season at Brandon (probably) so going to attend as many meetings as possible!
