Who? *pulls pin and runs for cover*

See my answer on the Somerset thread AF, but again, I could e wrong!

Couldn't be true, as Panthers only have 3.5-ish left and Jacobs has a 4.07 average?

Oli Greenwood might fancy a Saturday track if it suits his work? 1. Barker (8.91) 2. Allen (7.00) 3. Jorgensen (7.09) 4. Wethers (5.50) 5. Vissing (7.09) 6. Greenwood (3.05) 7. Edberg (3.84) Total; 42.48

The way I read the statement was that he wouldn't be able to make Somerset in time after work, but Am I right in saying he is fairly local to P'boro so he will manage to get there easily after work? I may be wrong though?

He will be at the EOES, the Panthers would be daft to miss out on that opportunity!

If that was who Somerset went for then IMO he would be good at #4 to provide some experience beside young BK who will most likely be at #3.

On any 5 point assessment, all it takes is for the rider to score in every ride (including a second somewhere - assuming they are in the main body) and they have done their job. IMO Arthur Should do well enough. I think starting at reserve is the best thing that the tigers could have done, as bates is adequate cover for him. I'm looking forward to seeing him at Armadale next year!

To be honest I think even having Berwick, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Newcastle involved means everyone could benefit from this sort of scheme restarting.

Derek has retired

How dare you say something sensible!

Stead finished top of the averages without bonuses because he cleared off to win and left his teammate to finish 3rd or last. Craig finished top when bonuses were added because of those 5-1's where he was happy to sit back and finish behind Sedgy.

That's a bit unfair on Stevie, considering he hit his average in most of his meetings immediately after moving up (first month and a half or so) The only reason IMO he didn't keep it up was due to burning out, and even then he wasn't scoring poorly. I agree it is unlikely to go any higher as a heat leader, if he's used as one, but as a second string he would do fine.

You may have a point there! Suppose we will see come march if he is still going straight when everyone else turns left into bend 1!

On the website he is quoted as saying he actually doesn't mind smaller tracks, so hopefully he has a smaller track he practices on aswell.

Very good signing, maybe won't score big at first, but should hit his average at least by the end of the season! 1. Craig Cook (9.19) 2. Erik Riss (5.00) 3. Kevin Wolbert (6.19) 4. Justin Sedgmen (6.99) 5. Sam Masters (8.23) 6. Max Clegg (3.00) 7. Robert Branford (3.00) Total: 41.60 (0.90 left)

Oh god no! Anyway, why would edinburgh or Somerset use 3.00 for Helfer if they both have over 5.00 left??

First of all, Aaron's average is 3.50. Second of all, he's already said he won't be returning to the UK this year and wants to concentrate on getting himself set up for life after speedway.

Not strictly testimonial related, but there are discussions on the Edinburgh Facebook page for a joint Scottish fundraising day with a charity football match vs Glasgow fans to raise more money for Ricky. Venue and date to be announced when confirmed.

Guessing you must have JDSC on ignore then

Am I right in saying Both Kerr and Rose still get the reduction for the First 3 years out the NL, and that would make their averages 7.36 and 4.05 respectively? If RW became available you could have: Lewis Kerr 7.36 Anders Mellgren 6.57 Ludvig Lindgren 7.12 Anton Rosen 6.69 Richie Worrall 7.32 Simon Neilsen 3.36 Lewis Rose 4.05 It comes in a shade under at 42.47, and Worrall would more than likely go to number 1 at the first average change, unless Kerr has a brilliant season and stays ahead of Richie, in which case it is win win for Newcastle.

Deleted - duplicated post.

Max struggled for the start of 2013 and found himself at reserve on a 3 point something average which he made a mockery of and it gave him confidence to start his improvement. I see the same happening to Allen, and hopefully you stick with him, he looks a decent prospect.

I think Simon is a also a Lynn asset.

Todd Kurtz won't fit. I calculate 5.90 left and TK is 5.96? I see another Jerry on the horizon!
