Ellis will have offers I'm sure.

Yeah definitely poor away from home (he did have some excellent meetings away) but the league will be weaker. Not sure he'll come back anyway to be honest.

His home form actually improved from the opening few meetings where his scores were poor. The last few home meetings he scored 7+1 7+1 3 12 8+1 and 5 from only 3 rides, not too bad.

Ayres is a character who obviously enjoys riding, gives it everything.

Really? Anyway, the league will not be as strong as it was when he last rode in it.

Confirmed that it's minimum of two Brits per team (both leagues) and the SGB Premiership can have 2 point riders. Josh Bailey who didn't acheive a 3 point average will start on whatever average he actually got in 2016.

Been confirmed two Brits per side (both leagues) and both leagues can have a 2 point rider.

Certainly entertains! Just put him in as he fits into the points limit. Been confirmed that clubs must include two Brits.

Max Fricke Joonas Kylmakorpi Jason Garrity Rory Schlein Kenneth Hansen Josh Bates Danny Ayres Not sure Hansen would come back but looks a solid side.

Some EL clubs were cheaper for me and my daughter to attend than some PL clubs in 2016.

Yep Klindt will be getting loads of offers!

After what's gone on I wouldn't be sure he's even a Belle Vue asset.

They did get a reduction but haven't for a few years now.

This year it was 40.5 including the draft riders averages.

Favourites absolutely but with what is being introduced for 2017 it wouldn't be a forgone conclusion as previously.

Yep if he's in that there is no point in signing him.

Good that he's having an input with his vast experience. Let's see who is on the list.

Sign Fricke, Schlein and Bates and go from there.

Glad you said that because I thought I was reading it all wrong with the figures people are posting

Saturdays might not be so bad now.

Fully agree! Palm Toft is 7. He moved to I think Scunthorpe after Peterborough.

Great choice. Much more professional.

Yes Stock Cars will still run, Stock cars will now pay rent to Coventry Speedway.

I don't want him either! Was just an example of the strength of the sides in 2017. Bjerre would be a good shout but I guess he'll be elsewhere.

I can't actually get a side together where I think yeah that looks good, probably because we have nothing to put it against. It's certainly new territory for the promoters this year. Bates is a must and after what's gone on at Belle Vue then Fricke must be a possibility but he might be at number 1. Wouldn't mind Schlein coming back on a low average too. The number 7 rider is key, I can't see one that stands out unless we use more points than most other sides in that role. Andersen Fricke Schlein Woryna Berge Bates 4.4 ish rider. Not saying I want this but this will be the standard we are looking at for top level.
