Definitely time to bring on young riders but the balance has to be right, and has to be done with the right balance of youth, experience and who is on form, be that the squad of riders and the team that is chosen. I think also you need to look at to where the meeting is been held, horses for courses the Simon Stead inclusion raised eyebrows last season, but he was a match winner at Kings Lynn a track that he rides well, the mistake Rosco made was to stick with the team when they went to the Finals in Poland. But as a speedway nation we should be introducing younger riders or less experienced riders and blooding them on the International scene. On present form I would look at maybe the following team. Tai Woffinden Chris Harris Robert Lambert Craig Cook Then a back up squad of Simon Stead Danny King Ben Barker Richie Worrall Jason Garrity Steve Worrall. Kyle Newman

Jonathan Chapman's younger brother. That will go down a storm in Brummie Land.

I can see why Havvy Senior is maybe looking for a transfer fee for Summers, but to be honest I think that he is wasting his time and I do think that his valuations are some what over valued. What happens if Glasgow refuse to pay a transfer fee, he would be left with a rider sat on the sidelines not making him any money, who does not want to ride for the club and no loan fee, transfers are very rare in speedway these days. My guess is that if Glasgow stick to their guns they will get their man with no transfer fee to pay, their are riders who could do a similar job to Summers without having to pay a transfer fee and it is my guess if they wait a little longer Havvy's resolve with melt.

So don't have doubling up riders in any other leagues in other countries. I think you might just find that Sweden has doubling up/ doubling down. Admittedly no to the extent it is in this country, but still have it.

I assume now that you will be dropping Steve Worrall from your team as he has signed to ride for Newcastle in the Premier League. Not the Full time Elite League rider that you jumped to the conclusion that you thought. Bit like popping the champagne corks before the season is over.

Been from Sheffield I have seen, read and heard lots of things about the Ched Evans case. Putting aside the Charlie Webster business. Ched Evans is a convicted rapist, whether you believe he is guilty or not he is a convicted rapist. Ched Evans is perfectly entitled to resume his career if so. But Any prospective employer is also entitled not to employ him, and they also have to give very careful consideration as to the effects employing someone who is a convicted rapist. The feelings of their customers (in this case fans) The feelings of business partners/ fellow workers (sponsors/ employee's paid and unpaid). End of the day most employers will take everything in to consideration about a convicted rapist and and probably say thanks but no thanks. For me Evans conduct since leaving prison tells me that at this particular moment in time he should not return to a job that is well paid and very much in the public eye like football. The video that was put out did him no favours it was insincere and look very staged managed. At the end of the day the support that he had in Sheffield, disintegrated with his conduct towards Jess Ennis, something that people who don't come from the city will not realised is that Jess Ennis is a well loved and very well respected lady from Sheffield. For those who don't know Jess was given the honour of having a stand named after her by Sheffield United, she did not ask for the honour it was given. She came out and publicly said that if Sheffield United were to re- employ Ched Evans a convicted rapist she would ask for her name to removed, which she is perfectly entitled to do so. What happened then was some of Evans sickest supporters and their are quite a few out there, called for someone to go and rape Jess Ennis. At this point Ched Evans who is a convicted rapist has two choices as to how he deals with the incident. (1) Come out and disassociate himself from those comments and condemn them. (2) Say nothing. Ched chose the latter, and frankly apart from the very few hardcore his support in Sheffield disintegrated, and I leave it for everyone else to decide whether or not he should have chosen option 1. End of the day Ched chose his profession that is very well paid and in the public eye, the price you pay for doing that is that you will be watched and you have behave in a correct and professional nature at all times. Whether he raped the girl or not what he and his so called professional footballer mate did was despicable, and Evans and to a lesser extent his mate are paying the price for their behaviour. . . . ..

I do remember a couple years ago the Speedway Star tipping the next big foreign youngster ready to burst on the speedway scene and both Eric and his brother were ones to watch out for.

Probably near the truth than any of the other statements made about the two. End of the day both Cook and Stead were pretty much head and shoulders above anyone else in the league.

He certainly hasn't doany team riding from my knowledge since he came back to the club. But I remember Doug Wyer been the same when he rode at number 1. I think certain riders can team ride and some can to be fair with the way Steady rides I don't think I would want to try and team ride with him,

Will be interesting to see how the lad copes with the track at Armadale, its going to be very much a culture shock for him. Have to agree with you it is a big risk taking him on.

Okay fair enough you say that none us have the right answer, if you know that we are all wrong you must know what is right.

Belle Vue (Hyde Road) Leicester (Blackbird Road) Halifax Hull (The Boulivard) Cradley Heath Hackney.

Try looking at 96 posts back.

Actually depends who you believe. Somerset and Berwick would claim that its is the BSPA. But I seem to remember Rob Godfrey saying it was clearly stated that the likes of Jack Holder would come in on a 7 point average.

You.

The ruling come effectively from the Immigration department from the Government. Its nothing that anyone can do anything about. Yes its tough and most of us will not think it is fair as Aussie riders have been loyal to British speedway.

Try googling his name and on may occasions where he is describe as a Australian/ Greek. there is also an article in Greek where the Greeks are claiming as one of there own.

How have Sheffield bent the rules.

The options are very limited, you can rule out Andre Compton as his average is too high. A 5 point European would be a gamble as much as Ben Wilson or Jason Bunyan. Definitely throws Somersets team plans for 2015 into disarray.

Does anyone really care. Doomed to failure from the word go and amazed it even got to the racing stage last season. Riders riding in more than one team in different countries means logistical it is a nightmare. If I want to watch my team I want to the riders that are racing for my team that season, not a select team of riders that have not ridden for the club years ago.

Adam Ellis.

To be fair I am not too sure myself. its a minefield for Aussies to get over here. Which find a bit irksome to be honest when you consider how they appear to far more loyal to British speedway than any other speedway nation.

I thought that they had to finish in the top 8, or has their been another change in the rules.

So if he is coming over to race over here then that leaves Plymouth, Newcastle, Glasgow or Berwick who can fit the lad into their team for the start of the season. My guess is that Plymouth could well be the favourites to get his signature.

I think that is the way I would go regards the team as well.
