Sorry to hear about the death of Pete. Got to know him at the AGM's and liked his company. Not be able to get that game of squash in that we promised to do. RIP Peter.

Risager rode very well for Plymouth against Newcastle this year and gave Kyle Newman very good backup. He was faster than normal going into the bends and didn't always stick to white lining like you expect him to. Better rider this year that last year.

So it's going to be between :- Kus Robbo Richie Howarth new possible 7 pointer Rosen would be wasting 2.08 points and, after the other signings, would undo the good work.(unless a change was planned early in the season but that doesn't seem likely)

Depends which Kus you compare him with. Is it the 3 or the 0 rider at Brough, although he did top score at Peterborough and Glasgow, and would go well at Sheffield. Howarth has shown good form in the EL and has had heat leader performances with Worky particularly at Worky. Difficult choice as both up and down. All quiet on the Robson front who would come in on 6.50. Might be getting held back for announcement by Redcar, or might have retired. Just guessing.

It is 3.73 with NL reduction applied. Points left should be 7.22

Don't know about struggle, but he has slammed into the fence a few times, because, like Nick Morris, he screws the power on and loses control a lot.

Ha ha. It would seem to most that the bad boys are the people providing or not providing the stadium, but that's beyond your narrow stilted thinking. Move on.

Would like a bit more than that. Thanks for your comments.

You would one of the first to disbelieve any statement similar to that one. A moaner if they do, a moaner if they don't.

Must admit that name interested me. He is a Berwick protected asset, having ridden for them, but not enough to get and average or be an asset for them. Therefore he is available, but didn't score that well over the 4 meetings he did ride in with 14 from 12 rides. Might be worth a punt. What's the thoughts of Berwick fans on what they saw last year ?

Yes, I read the pessimism at the time, and quite rightly with the stadium owners track record as you already know. But you can only go with what is said in terms of promises, and proceed hoping the promises are going to be honoured. To have not gone ahead with the "End of' meeting would have very disappointing to all the home fans demanding one. Let's hope that the new plans can accommodate a speedway track pretty soon, as the team is now starting to sign riders for 2016, and I don't think Doyle would risk his career at this point in time if it was a sham. Let's hope so.

Must admit I have all along fancied a new assessed rider, if we have been tracking one and/or if Richie does join Glasgow. Swede or Dane ? Very sorry for Simon who I think hasn't let us down. Another rider in poor form whose career picked up at Brough, like Mills, Schram, Lemon, Teo. I wish him well at his new track.

Interesting, leaving 7.22 left for the last rider, but I don't think they would waste big points by making Rosen at 5.14 the last signing. Kus is 7.13 and is probably the nearest average, but Havvy could be difficult for it to happen. Pleased Rose has signed, and I was told a couple of weeks ago he would not be with Ippy despite the hype that he would be. Phillips was always going to be favourite once Liam was forced to stay with Berwick. Known Danny and his family since his first switch over from MotoX to 125cc riding about 3 years ago. He has raced regularly raced meetings at Brough and second halfs, and is usually unbeaten against most of other current juniors. Decent around small tracks, he can be very good around a big track if he has a decent motor under him. A solid safe rider with steady development.

The Newport was 4 straights and 4 corners. Gaters paradise with no passing unless you did it in the straights. Enjoyed Torby Harrysson there.

Unfortuntately some people think that Chris is just somebody to take the p*ss out of, but he qualifies every year for the GP on merit, and now he is giving marvellous opportunities to some very talented young riders. I know many riders help youngsters, and with Poultec apprenticeships which is great, but Chris with this initiative is giving a personal stamp on how he wants to do it. More power to your elbow Chris, be interesting to see their progress.

I don't need to. I will speak as i find/know without an agenda, unlike you and your mates. You wouldn't recognise something good that the BSPA did, even it was wrapped in shale and hit you square between the eyes. Keep going with the Jokes thought.

Funny i've never heard you say that before. Keep posting the Jokes but, as they are usually good.

Yes, but you have doubts about everything and contribute nothing.

But if the stadium had closed without a "End" meeting, fans would have been similarly outraged that the Abbey Stadium had closed without a suitable closure meeting that you all wanted. Damned if you do, or damned if you don't.

Yes, he did it for Glasgow last year, but that was for other reasons I think.

So lets go with all those figures Lambert 8.13 Stevie 8.08 Ludde 7.05 Teo 5.28 3 pointer3.00 31.54 Rose 3.74 Total 35.28 Left 7.22

If reductions are in order for Lambert and Rose the following reductions would be allowed Lambert 8.34 - 8.13 Rose 3.84 - 3.74 so thats 0.31 extra to play with.

That's the sort of figure but it depends what figure you use for Lambert before reduction. I was using 8.38, but you seem to have used 8.34. The BSP site has both for different teams so i have been using the highest figure to be sure. Might need that 0.04 yet I got the 6.87 after assuming what you were suggesting that Rose might be in the team. There might be 0.04 yet to take off and also reductions for possibly Rose and Lambert.

Yes, he was awarded Residency status.
