make it simpler, lowest average reserve has to take a minimum of 3 rides in race where an opponent reserve is riding eg 2, 4, 8, 12 or 14. they can take more if necessary and it still lets team managers juggle as they want

I think you are doing Ian Thomas a huge disservice to say he pulled the plug and ran away - in 1984 he openly admits he personally lost £40,000 and it just about ruined him. Anyone in that situation would "pull the plug" Faced with that scenario - George would walk away!

Everyone will be wanting compiler to have them at Sheffield, Ippo & Redcar on those weeks!

Omitting Edinburgh and assuming Peterborough line up as people are saying my view is 1. Glasgow 2. Ipswich 3. Sheffield 4. Redcar 5. Peterborough 6. Newcastle 7. Berwick 8. Scunthorpe 9. Workington Edinburgh likely to be around 4/5/6

Poole!!! That will make for an interesting promotion /relegation clash at the end of season

Perks has also signed for rye House in the Premier, who is he an asset of?

Who wasn't

that post just about sums up your knowledge level

Garrity Barker JBA Wright Busch Hall Perks

Don't think Roynon will be signing if Konopca is - too many points left over.

They keep actual average

I would say serious promotion candidates!!

No - bit less than that!

Might just be a real surprise Hearing a rumour about a rider for the "lower" part of the team!!

Mine too

Would he not still have to revert to 5.00 as a European?

18 at home - 18 away

Sissis didn't win cup with "us" quite the opposite

It hasn't NEP was speculating, possibly on hearsay, inside info or dream he has had!

I think all new riders should come in on a minimum 3pt average, however their actual average should be allowed to drop to minimum of 2pts, and if the club wants to stick with them and use extra point elsewhere good luck!

It isn't a question of knowing how much specifically will be offered by either team, it's knowing that some clubs have, and almost certainly will, offer more. I know of three instances where the Glasgow offer was well in excess of offers from others BUT I have no knowledge of exact numbers. Don't see why you get so touchy about this, if Glasgow, or any other team, want to pay a higher rate to any rider and it falls within a sensible business plan ( even a loss making one if they can bankroll it) then fair game. I certainly don't blame any rider for taking a job offer that potential pays more!

Not a printing expert - but possibly cover is all set up earlier - personally I wouldn't lose any sleep over it

How are you thinking of including Josh Bates ?? If only one rider is out you have to use r/r (unless number 1 or reserves or some other loophole) Kus is obviously injured so it has to be rr unless you were suggest Pavlova does down with flu!!

Just trying to bring a bit of fun and frivolity to lighten our lives as the summer turns to autumn and the days shorten and winter draws close I do apologise if this caused anyone unnecessary stress and anxiety................................... actually no I don't apologise - lighten up and chill out

Glasgow just become hot favourites - drafed in Ricky Wells, Lewis Kerr & Rob Branford for the Newcastle leg
