Er...I'd really rather not.

Bloody hell He made Manu Hauzinger look reliable. I’m out.

@boomerang @Winditon Why don't you take this crap offline?

What average would the Kaiser come in on?

People - and especially Tsunami of course - will remember Eddie's first visit to BP in what was the Gems' first CL meeting. He was in a different class that day but notwithstanding his potential he has never trained on - rather like Will Lawson, who was also in that meeting, I fear that a few months at Berwick did for him. That said, he might be a class act at home.

I think it's time for @Dandelion to produce a list of available 8- and 5- pointers for our delectation and delight. How about it, marra?

Tsunami might know....

Or indeed Kristian Lund. As I remember he wasn’t the same rider after he lived on a farm in Wales with NKI, another Dane whose name escapes me for now, and some sheep.

If he's available I' d love to see it. Few better gate and go men in this league when he was in his heyday.

Didn't he leave under a cloud? Decent rider on his day. Did Seb Alden regain fitness? Proud tradition of gating Swedes, most notably Michanek and Eriksson. Probably pricey anyway...

That's pretty unfair on Wilko and Tero, in my book. I don't know that much about Ellis Perks so I shan't comment on his situation. Let's see how the season pans out, shall we?

Nothing at all - trust is 100%. When I referred to him as the Arsene Wenger of British speedway I was being serious- he is. (A signing equivalent to Aubameyang at no.1 would be good! :-) )

Jorgensen? Why? He had struggled at BP in the past and l’m not sure how resilient he is. Not for me.

Well I for one am pleased to see Ludde back. He’s a great entertainer when he’s on his game and he can never be faulted for effort. 10/10 for the signing, 1/10 for the manner of the announcement.

Twitter click bait nonsense. I hope it’s Ludde or the Alfster

Ludde is great value. Top man, in fact. I can’t wait to see @The White Knight‘s face when LL bangs in a 21 point max this season. Bookmark this page - you read it here first!

I’d be happy with Ludde and/or Nicholls. In George we trust.

No thanks, he was underwhelming last time.

Well done George. Thank you.

Mr Dalby once posted on here as Arthur Cross, did he not?

My season ticket money is burning a hole in my pocket. A few words about next year wouldnt go amiss now.

Ill wait for season tickets to go on sale before Im sure (Although an entirely different previous promotion pulled the plug after putting STs on sale, unless I am mistaken)

Thank you Steve, much appreciated.

Dan, for sheer points power I agree but my favourite team was (iirc) the Owen brothers, Robbie Blackadder, Phil Michelides, Brian Havelock, Tim Swales and one of a series of other reserves. This was, I think, shortly before the days of Ron Henderson and Andy Cusworth. Its a long time ago now, but every match day seems to have been sunny and warm, and every opposition team in the NNL had its own big hitter - I loved Jacko especially ( I remember going to Crewe when they had Jackson and Crump. I hadnt realised how fast some tracks were!). Happy days.

Lawrence Heppell played "Mr. Blue Sky" as we left the stadium, iirc.
