I'm sure that could be tweaked as required....

Bates will qualify forever then......

Possibly his injury put the brakes on his progress??? Agree it's now time to kick on if he ever is to

Cant have been on there for long - I certainly didnt see it. If it was then the fact it has been removed would suggest it isnt true.......

I thought loan fees were linked to averages - rising stars have no average...... Amendment no1 required to the 2021 regs if Buster wants a loan fees

Where has it been said there was a pick order?

Not jealousy at all. Bates should be a PL rider in 2021 just not as a rising star. He is experienced and talented enough to have a place in the main body (certainly No6 at least) of any of the teams this coming season The fact that he was included on the list is just a continuation of all that has plagued speedway in terms of self interest and manipulation for too long now Worry doesnt come into it as victory is close to meaningless anyway so good luck to you if you win the league as your victory will be hollower that a cheap non brand Eater egg

More deflection Dont worry Chris will know my thoughts on the subject when I next have the chance to speak with him

Meanwhile at Sheffield the 1-6 can learn from former GP rider Josh Bates

Good attempt at deflection They could hardly not be on the list given Josh is could they!! Meanwhile the the template for the criteria has been found in the BSPL meeting room waste paper basket....... its the Josh Bates speedway career bio

Very conveniently Bates was 25 on Feb 1st...... has a Prem ave just under 5.50 ......and a Champ ave just under 6.50 ........ Is everyone getting it yet....... Looks like the criteria were written using the Bates career bio as a template

Very quiet on here - wouldve thought there would be some delight at the Bates announcement Perhaps it's just that you're embarrassed he is even an option...........

Looks like there are 6 criteria but you only have to fit 1 to qualify.....

I would be disappointed if it turned out that he was despite Bates being the best available on the list from a likely points scoring point of view Him being on the list though is wrong and picking him would show a lack of integrity For me integrity is at least equal to winning.....

You can keep Bates and we will stick with Drew thanks 10am Tuesday 16th seems to be favourite for the announcement (all teams in one go as per previous statement)

Whoooosh

Sad news - RIP Olle

Well if Bates fits as a rising star then reassessment to 3 so Woffy can be his reserve partner is on the cards

I'm seeing rumours of Woffy in at Sheffield - perhaps he could double up.....

Only slightly less than their ages

What's left once Woofy is added???

If you look at his results in Aus he has been there and thereabouts without looking dominating so I'd say your caution as to expectations are justified The Witches have form for signing a No1 who then drops a point or 2 off their average so it's the most likely outcome

Crump will be doubling up with Plymouth

Chill Ray - just a little light hearted banter
