Dan Greenwood, Crang and Ritchings will be heat leader standard this season but only leaves 4.12 left for the final signing.

They will announce Summers after Glasgow do apparently.

For the draft list to work you need some of the 'older' riders to make it competitive.

What a good line up so far.

Dan Greenwood signs for the Storm. I think it gives us around 11.5 for 2 riders.

I know he was very upset with something near the end of the season regarding his crew. We will have to wait and see.

Howarth is also a better prospect than Newman. I'm not sure but isn't Howarth also younger?

Ricky Wells confirms on his twitter that he no longer requires a work permit, an option?

Hopefully the club are disputing this and bring to the meeting that's planned in January. It's maybe the reason we have not announced our last rider yet. King at 6.11 would be a great signing.

Local MP Mark Pawsey is on the speedway parliamentary committee.

Harris you heard it here first 😉. Well I will stick a quid on him each way anyway. I'd probably go for Holder especially if he stays clear of injuries.

That's the same for most. I don't see the point in converting an average from PL when during 2014 he had an EL average. The is no need to make it so difficult. Did Sheffield sign Covatti on his converted EL average? His were also expunged.

Hansens was a lime green to be fair, must of ran in the washing machine! I wonder what the stadium owners are doing regarding the track over winter. Is anything planned because as we know it does need some tlc.

Why can't they just use whatever Kennetts average was before Birminghams results were expunged? Or is that too simple. It was still a real EL average.

Nope but there is no Bees news so we got to keep ourselves entertained 😊

I not 100% sure but I believe the promotion buys them and get them made. I sure I've read that somewhere.

That's just rubbish GB fully deserved the win that night. What's the point in nurturing riders in a World Cup that is not what a world cup is for. The qualifier with GB was close between the top 3, GB were not far away from qualifying for the final, I think they may have been leading going into the last fee heats. I agree if we don't send a team into the u21's this year that will be a disgrace.

We made the final last year so why change anything. Just pick the 4 riders in the best form, the u21s is where they should blood the youngsters. Perhaps arrange other meetings for the up and coming riders.

It was said he was now a bspa asset on a Birmingham thread a while back.

Robbo had some impressive guest appearances last season to be fair.

You shouldn't change a riders average unless he has been missing for several years. I can understand AJs being changed but Lindgrens? He achieved the average he was on last year, if you going to change his you might as well change everybody's.

Certainly an improvement on last year's side but we will probably say that about most teams. Belle Vue will need a big step up to make top 4 but I have to say the side looks good.

To be fair to Harris we all moan about his reliability of his equipment but hopefully that's a thing of the past now he has a new pit crew. I'm really looking forward to this, he deserves a big day like this and I'm sure fans will flock to Brandon.

8.07 x 0.6 = 4.84

Whether it's Summers or Robson I'm sure they would stick around a point on their average with the easier heats. Both could be match winners at Brandon.
