The fact that Ritchie H has a place on the EL fastrack guest list presumably means he has a PL place. For him I would expect it could be a case of Ipswich or nowhere so........ If we do go with a 3 pointer then Sarjeant and Greenwood would be the choice for me. If neither of those then I would look for more balance. I hope Adam is back but if not I always like the idea of a young Brit. I would be disheartened for us to go with a journeyman foreigner in reserve.

Danny King - Ipswich No1 - 8.84

Welcome home Danny! Very happy to see him in as our No1. I thought he would be at Pboro if they ran so I hope Im wrong on that one as I wouldnt want our gain to mean the loss of the Panthers. Gonna be interesting to see how the full 1-7 pans out. At least it seems that all will be revealed quite soon.

Need to get the 1-7 signed before the Glasgow wallet gets topped up!

the new man........not long to wait to find our who!

as with many things in life!

still only have 42.50 points to play with the same as all the rest.

your posts sums it up for me - too many ifs.

If Darcy had a mate called Chris who married a woman named after a rock, went double barrelled and opened a bra shop his mate would be ... Chris Boulder Holder. (especially for those who thought this thread wasnt silly enough already!)

My guess would be Robbo to move up North.

I agree with the sentiment behind your post but when you look at the reality it can be penal to a team with stronger reserves but more balanced top end. Look at Ipswich last year having to use a NL reserve in place of Adam Ellis averaging 4.7 whilst Newcastle were able to use r/r for Lewis Rose averaging 4.1 which meant he could be replaced by the reserves just under 4 and the rider at 4 in the averages who in that case was averaging over 7! Similarly the Newcastle No6 could have a 'real' guest despite averaging a point less than Adam.

the article about the Parliamentary group mentioned the awards were sponsored by Travis Perkins - small scale in itself perhaps but hopefully there are similar irons in the fire for the leagues

about time too.

1 too many?- how fitting!!

When are the various state championships? Had a look on MA website but couldnt find any dates listed.

I think it means its a speedway that he is involved in and the position he holds is that of director.Rather like any other company really! As for moving forward I read that to be about tye evolution of the 'fastrack' and doubling up and the hint that in future the PL could adopt its own 'fastrack'

So its as you were in terms of team building for the PL in 2015. Hopefully we get some news of the team in the next few days.

The big question mark for me in the EL is tge choice not to address the inequality in averages caused by last seasons format. Simply increasing the limit is just a paper over the cracks job. There will now be some teams that sign 4 heat leaders while others only have 2.

The big decision for me is the double up change to allow 2 seasons only. Could be some big decisions ahead for a number of riders.

it unfairly penalises whichever side its used against IMO - home or away.

he is often hamming it up in his ramblings.

i think youre getting your Pokemon mixed up with your Skylanders!!

How about this for a conspiracy theory. The FIM plan a ban - say 8 months like the Danno precedent. Darcys defence is a technicality with the testing procedures. The FIM know they have screwed up and will have to drop the case. However to ensure he has to sit it out the hearing keeps getting shifted back until the 8 months is up. And before anyone asks yes I am bored today!

If Darcy was.... a magicians assistant - sawed meeting a drug dealer - scored doing an impression of a lion - roared
