Nice to see, but who else was riding in the meeting?

Any money going into the sport is more than welcome. How many times have many of us have said that we need sponsorship for the Leagues. As for conflict of interests is there not other conflicts of interest. Sheffield (My club) and Leicester having the same owners. Kings Lynn and Peterborough having the same owners. Sheffield and Ipswich both sponsored by Guy Nicholls companies. For me it is good news.

Thomson and Cook 2 full seasons (2021 and 2022) Brennan rode in 2019 but only raced 8 meetings and was out for the rest of the season due to serious injury. So basically all three have the same Championship experience.

Based on their full averages for last season, not rolling averages or bonus points. Tom Brennan; Overall; 6:96 , Home: 7:48 and Away: 6:36 Ben Cook; Overall: 5.69 , Home: 6.93 and Away: 4.32 Kye Thomson; Overall: 6.75 , Home: 7.28 and Away: 6.21 Based on those figures I would say that Brennan is at present the best of the three. Of the other two I would say that at present Thomson is better than Cook. There is a big difference between Cook's Home and Away figures, whereas Brennan there is not much difference between Home and Away figures.

I find it hard to believe that Peterborough are attempting to sell season tickets when less than half of the team has been announced. I take my hat off to anyone who has bought a season ticket at Peterborough, personally I would not if it was my club and I had thought about buying one.

I would imagine that Birmingham will have priority on Nick Morris's services. The Danish club will be allowed to use him when Birmingham don't have a meeting The only problem I can see is if Birmingham have to re-arranged a meeting due to postponement on a planned Danish clubs meeting If that happens then the club could have a problem as I think they will only be able to replace Morris with a National League rider.

Very difficult to do while not all teams have been filled. But here goes. (1) Belle Vue (2) Sheffield (3) Wolves (4) Leicester (5) Peterborough (6) Kings Lynn (7) Ipswich But that can change depending who Ipswich and Peterborough bring in.

Possible riders available. Ty Proctor Jack Smith Josh McDonald Kasper Andersen Adam Roynon Ryan Kingsley Gino Manzares

Birmingham have 4:22 left Connor Bailey average 4:32 So no he does not fit.

So only 8 Premiership places (Excluding Rising Stars). So from which countries have these riders that have filled these rider positions.? Well only 29% of filled places were UK riders A breakdown of the rest is as follows; Australia 41% Denmark 12% Poland 6% Germany 6% France 3% USA 3% Of the team place left there are two rider vacancies at Ipswich and 6 at Peterborough. Interestingly the Kings Lynn team does not have a UK rider other than the Rising Star. So what are the chances of Peterborough and Ipswich filling the remaining spaces with UK riders.

Palm Toft next

Based on the final rolling averages These riders finish above Kyle's average Chris Harris Sam Masters Josh Pickering Nick Morris Ryan Douglas Based on 9 teams in the league, he maybe at this moment is classed as an out and out number.

Wakey Wakey. Ipswich Jack Thomas.

Replace Mulford for Bailey, and I would make the Aces favourites to win the League.

I think that we are shaping up to solid team. I think that we will be especially strong at home. Fully expecting Adam Ellis been the final signing joining his long time friend Bellego in the side.

Have word with Chris Louis.

Is there an echo.

To be fair you are usually spot on with your information.

Quality signing in Lewis Kerr and should do well next season starting at reserve. There was a rumour that he was signing for another club, which I did not understand as both rider and club were very complementary of each other and seem a perfect fit. On the subject of the Rising Star I am hoping that we get Dan Gilkes or failing that I would like Connor Bailey instead. Not particularly keen to see Drew Kemp comeback. We had him at the club before for 2019 season, and he started like a stream train and looked a great prospect. But he quickly went of the boil, and he looked a shadow of the rider that we had seen at the start of the season. He would gate with the other riders but appeared to gate with other riders into the first bend, but appeared to back off and dare I say lack a bit of bravery. And to be honest since in the meetings I have seen at him return to Sheffield I have not seen any further improvement.

You will be lucky if they have just put £1 on the Admission prices. At Sheffield they have put the Adult price up from £19 to £22.

I thought Nikolai Busk Jacobsen had retired.

I would have expect Adam Ellis to be signed up for Sheffield, alongside Lewis Kerr and Kyle Howarth as the last three of the top six riders. But the news that Lewis Kerr will not be returning has got me thinking that they may go for a different 3rd heatleader. Chris Holder is a perfect fit if they fancy changing things around at Sheffield and maybe fancies riding with his younger brother at Sheffield. But Chris Holder or Adam Ellis I would be happy with the team building is going at Sheffield.

We could fit Chris Holder in at Sheffield. I don't think that we will because I imagine that they will go with Adam Ellis, But at Sheffield it is a track he appears to like. His brother is at the club. He would not be the number 1 in fact he would be the third heatleader so would have easier races. Sheffield Could line up. Jack Holder 8.61 Kyle Howarth 5:28 (With 2.5% British Reduction) Chris Holder 7.16 David Bellego 5.60 Tobiasz Musielak 7.91 Ben Cook 4.00 (Assess Average) Total 38.56 Rising Star Dan Gilkes (If the rumour is true)

So looking at the riders already signed, I reckon the next two riders available will be Kyle Howarth and Adam Ellis. That should leave us around 4:88 for the 6th rider. Sounding like Lewis Kerr won't be available, so possible targets who would fit the bill. Paul Starke Jake Allen Stefan Nielsen Ben Cook Zach Cook Kye Thomsen Connor Mountain Dimitri Berge Ben Barker Personally my choice would be Ben Cook or Dimitri Berge. The Rising Star riders realistic possible targets Connor Bailey (If Tom Brennan is given a Rising Star Place) Jack Thomas Drew Kemp Jason Edwards Dan Gilkes Joe Thompson Jordan Jenkins For me either Dan Gilkes or Connor Bailey would be my choice.

If the Bellego signing is correct. I would go for this team. (1) Jack Holder (2) Kyle Howarth (3) David Bellego (4) Adam Ellis (5) Tobiasz Musielak (6) Dimitri Berge (7) Jake Allen
