Return of Odin

If we do add Michelsen and Morris I'd be pretty pleased with that. Feel a bit for Zengi, couldn't have done much more for us last year and a cracking fella

Pleased with bottom of team - Neilsen and Wright really good and Sedge has come on loads and I'm sure will improve further. What does that leave points wise and what are people's opinions of the rest of the side, Doyle Morris and ??

Honestly don't know what I think of that team - "no thanks" was my first reaction to be honest but maybe has some potential

Likewise - wonder if the plans were submitted as suggested they would be at end of October

Yeah wouldn't mind that, 2 big guns and some potential improvement there as well. I'd also be keen on Bjerre actually

The sooner this aforementioned list is published the better!! Regarding the point about Batchelors potential to improve upon his current average. I don't dispute that, my issue and the issue of others is more with his lack of performance when it really mattered and subsequent comments. I'd love to see Michelson or ThJ, what average Kornelliussen?

In any side you build you need people with the potential to significantly improve their average. I rate Doyle highly and thought Zengi was fabulous at times last year the challenge is can either kick on again and improve significantly, would be hard for them. Morris has improved year on year amd probably would again, however would also be tough for him to put a point for example on his average. If we go with those 3 we need second strings with real potential, I'd be keen to see Sam Masters who in my view has real potential to improve his average . Kildemand is a steal and absolute must if he is interested any suggestion where else we go for "wildcard with massive potential to improve?

Couldn't agree more with this. GP rider scores 0 he should apologise to the people who pay his wages. I have absolute respect for anyone who rides a speedway bike but Troy chooses to and we choose to pay his wages by attending. I also visited the back straight "facilities" surprised they haven't been declared a site of special scientific interest !!!! Sam Masters looked fab, track very dry which didn't help racing. A wonderful and fitting sunset was the last thing I saw there

Just wouldn't want Batch back I'm afraid, respect all speedway riders but just don't have any appetite to pay my hard earned watch him anymore

Thanks Roundabout, been busy in Asgard :-) Trust as is well with you?? Looks like a fun winter of rumour and speculation ahead !!

Not sure where Phil resides these days?? They mentioned on Sky on Monday that he was quite unwell so could be unlikely. Hope he recovers, my first memories of Speedway were watching the near unbeatable Phil Crump tear around the Abbey or contest the Bronze(?) Helmet. I assume we can expect Zagar (although Al clearly upset him), Kornellieusen, North, Kennett, Nicholls, Allen?? Would love to see some GP types and maybe some guys from the past, be delighted to see Gjedde at Blunsdon again. Sooner the better in terms of starting to release the names.
