I agree there us little on track to differentiate the 2 - perhaps Morten a bit more hot and cold. But I would say the biggest bone of contention is that it appears Morten upset the applecart with his attitude and that required a team order change that did us no favours at the sharp end of the season. If that issue is sorted then all well and good. I think we will be up there again challenging for a play off spot. Still see Worky as favourites so far.

The way I see it the reduction is for the 3 seasons after first attaining an average. So if first average was 2011 then reduction applies in 2012 2013 and 2014. If Birks fits that heshould get it too. That does mean Leighs ommission isnt due to the numbers game as he would fit for Morten. Unless of course they hadnt factored in the reductions until after he was signed. If so a schoolboy error.

possibly Adam as well unless the ruling only covers those riding when the general Brit reduction was phased out.

He must be pi$$ed by now!

why not all 7 Baldy?

They may get less say then.

If he worked at the Bournemouth Echo it would be public knowledge by now!

Seems it wont be Manzares - he has tweeted that he is a Witch in 2014.

I am also hearing that I should decline the offer of poker from Jonny the Spud!!

I feel a bit mixed about this one. No doubt he has ability but if he comes in on a 7 it is quite a risk where there are other safe options available. If he comes in on a 5 then I think he is likely to improve on that but I dont agree that he should come in that low.

Thats certainly how it works with d/u but there is no precedent with the draft.

Leicesters picks were a bit puzzling. Perry when I have seen him is a great little racer but wouldnt hit the first turn in front even if he had his own gate that went up half a second earlier - hardly what you need at Leicester! Then having an early round 2 pick they go for one of the lowest ranked on the list. I know nothing of Clegg but that still seems strange.

and what average did he attain or is he still assessed?

Only Kerr Garrity and Newman ( above 5 PL)

Thats exactly as I read the situation. Perhaps you could also explain how Brady Kurtz still qualifies for a 3 point average despite riding in Oz U21 and Denmark?

But Brady has raced in Oz U21 and the top Danish League hasnt he? I thought this altered his status - if not why not?!

I dont think there is a set date and its often well into the new year before tge list is published.

There would be costs to set up the system and each transaction incurs a fee of 3 to 5% of its value payable to the card issuer I believe.

I actually think the season ticket deal is much improved. Miss 2 and still be better off is fine but on its own easy to lose out on. However the discount for the additional meetings is a really positive offer and may well persuade me to go fir the season ticket for the first time in years.

4.21 if no refuction for RW but Worky are making their team fit with a Brit reduction for Howarth and Morris. If that applies I think it would be 4 43. Adam would also get the discount if it applies. Also means Leigh would fit for Morten if the discount is available for both.

Adam Ellis has never signed a PL or EL contract with Lakeside but is an asset because he signed for the club - surely the same applies to Rose at Lynn.

guilty!

Cant see any grounds to justify a reassessment.

Talk on the Belle Vue thread that Manzares is/will be an Aces asset but is in discussion with the Witches and Edinburgh for 2014.

It should be built into the share calculations. I would also suggest that some of any money is earmarked to better funding of the international qualifiers etc
