Mad Max

And you have plenty of Team managers to go round

OK - no one mentioned free food - where is the mash??

In that case seems expensive, if you got say 4 or 5 free admissions that not too bad - must be for all the well off farmers down your way

Do you have to pay admission on top of that?

I'm referring to the one having the spat with Anderson, as per recent posts

My money is on Bjerre being at Berwick next season

Think the issue is that Somerset can have guests whilst Peterborough would have to have a NL 3 pointer and probably Glasgow the same (don't know who is missing for them)

Can see this being a close meeting - possibly the two strongest teams on current form in PL Looks like both will now have number 7s unlikely to score many points so down to Team Managers to juggle resources - ultimately this match will be decided on how Kus/pavlova/kerr score

At what point does the limit on riders doubling up come in?? I can't remember when the rule on how many seasons a rider could do was brought in, but there again it will probably be dropped/forgotten about as EL needs all the riders they can get and many of the top double uppers won't risk just having an EL team!!

Surprised MF hasn't suggested Troy Batchelor to be heading panthers way in 2017

plus any eligible NL riders not contracted to PL clubs

You mean like wanting to manage the team by committee for example!!

Rumour mill in overdrive - if prospective buyer comes to fruition your next team manager will make Courtney look like a tactical genius !!

the two keys parts of that statement 3.29 average / will operate at second string!

They aren't eligible for NL

Cook, Bjerre, Ostergaard - good starting 3 !!!

Is that when bikes turn into aliens?

You may finish seventh !! If sixth won't be P'bro will be Glasgow/Newcastle Yes you will get wiped out in the first round (AGAIN!)

Tungate is probably next in line, may depend on when/if slot becomes available and who can get prepared/is available

Don't forget Sheffield only have 37 and they are currently in freefall!! Would not be the biggest surprise to see Scunny turn them over

Too old for you!

I've been saying it should be a minute time allowance for a while, but was then told if they had a couple of "false" starts in a row riders need time to cool clutches etc. The extra white line was supposed to reduce restarts, but from all the meetings I've seen on sky it appears a handful of start marshalls bother, the most ardent at ensuring riders are on the extra line is the guy at Redcar, but even then there are numerous "jumps". Should make riders have wheels right up to tapes then any movement will be exclusion!!

Looks like Redcar Bellego Busch Skidmore Anderson Bjerre Etheridge Payne Ippo King sarjeant Doolan (G) Risager Barker Jacobs Hume Tough one to call - Covatti missing may be deciding factor, and how well reserves match up, not sure how often Jacobs has been to redcar, but I expect him to go well.

sadly this is the mess we have got into by having riders in all different leagues and letting them put those leagues first. I agree that too many teams had blank dates when it seemed to be logical to have matches on. As to teams not riding with their full team, it Is a two sided argument using Worky v redcar as an example Worky obviously need to get match on, but would P'bro/Sheffield/Ipswich be happy if Redcar rolled up with 2 NL riders in lineup because regular riders had other commitments which didn't allow for guest or r/r. (And I know that in this example it probably would make little difference, but principle is the same), also would it have a detrimental effect on attendance level, due to off race night and fans not paying to watch redcar NL select team?

Getting him ready for next season!
