Second best..Somerset is better...

I have no doubt they would increase their attendances Pirate Nick, but certainly the outgoings would increase.

Does anyone know how many of the riders were there?

By dropping the points limit it allows teams to 'shed' their higher scorers, thus replacing them with lower average riders and further watering down the 'Elite' league....

Mads is still our asset.

or turn two come to that!

Have you ever considered it might be quite good fun speculating and creating one's own teams, rather than what you term as 'pie in the sky predictions'.....take a chill pill...

Agree Shocker. Mads looks different class at Blunsdon. I'd have him back no problem. Whilst he's been away at Peterborough and Lynn, he has become one of the leagues most experienced riders, and has a wealth of knowledge on EL tracks. Definitely a number 3 in our side. May have to 'flash the cash' to persuade him back mind.....

No better sight than Hans when he is mean and moody. He is aggressive and a real racer. The first proper number one after the great Leigh Adams. You kind of get the feeling that we will be saying farewell to him now. Always welcome back to Blunsdon though. Just hope the refs spot his rollers when he lines up against us!

Lets face it, we don't even know if Patchett is still part of the management!!!

Sweetman has retired sadly. Sedge couldn't find a place in either EL or PL.

I actually phoned Martin Ashby at his home address once! He went through the scorers with me! Agree with all that has been said, well done to you all and thanks for your commitment.

The best team manager in the world? And the evidence for that statement is?

Have you gone off Middleditch then?

I'm with you there Derick. If you look back to the start of the 2013 season, we hoped that Edward would improve on his previous campaign at Coventry . He did this. He was drafted in really to replace Steady who's away performances were declining rapidly. It was thought also, that he could bring some much needed middle order power on the smaller tracks. He did do this also, with a couple of good performances at Lakeside and Birmingham, but some fine performances at some of the bigger tracks, notably Peterborough where he has a poor recent record. The frustrating thing with Ed is his lack of consistency and the thought process that his performance in a meeting tends to tail off. He has shown what he can do by his early season performances especially at Blunsdon where he reeled off several consecutive double figure scores. I would look to keep him. Along with Gustafsson, Doyle, Morris and Kildemand.

Dare I say it, but this is a huge risk to run this meeting tonight. Of course I am hoping its on and the Rebels clinch the title they so richly deserve, but it would be such a shame to run it whilst dodging showers, or on a track that can't do this history making meeting justice. Fingers crossed that it stays dry from here and the famous Highbridge wind blows strongly across from the M5!

We'll give you Batch instead!

That's two Swedes heading for Swindon this winter then.....

And Sundstrom the season before looking the complete package...some of you guys have short memories...

Let you off....

I think not Starman2006...
