Last season joe had 3 new bikes ready to go from start of season, the best equipment and most investment hes ever been able to make, off the back of 2016 season his best in the sport so far and the only chance he was given all year by any British Club was a month injury deal at Berwick....yes he needs a team from the start but someones gotta be willing to give him a go!

When?

Drabik is current U21 world champion...

Not many people mentioning Cameron Heeps in potential 1-7s for next year....thought from looking at scores on updates he did well joining you last year?? Surely on 5.25 would be one of the best no.2/no.6 over the season?

Frankly reassessing just the gp riders is ridiculous, it should be all or none, and imo should be none. If Jason Doyle doesnt ride in the uk next year if he then wants to return in 2019 will his 2017 9.69 average be reassessed down to 9....very much doubt it.....

don't know what buck have average is but if you sub perks for him it would leave 2.79 for your last rider and mean nicol would start at reserve assuming new americans start on a 5.00 average.....if its a 7.00 you've had it with that team I'm afraid! an alternative if he was a 7.00 greaves 4.51 or jacobs 4.67

Just put this on lakeside thread also, from what I understand Jenkins is focusing on just national league this year so he can also focus on finishing well at school so not doing championship full time.

Jenkins not doing championship full time this year. Sticking to national league so he can focus on finishing school well.

Thats all fair enough, didnt realise it included prog and parking, hadnt taken that into consideration when I saw the price and voiced my initial shock at it being £50 more than our for same amount of meetings! Dont have to pay parking at ippo and ours doesnt include programme which to me is right as not everyone necessarily wants one! Still like you with those included not overly different in price

Thats a lot!! How much is ordinary admission on the gate at Peterborough!? With only 14 guaranteed meetings thats just over £17 a meeting... hardly a marvellous discount

Kk at nss is surely a game changer.....

To be honest from what I saw at Ipswich last year Nathan isnt really that far off Newmans level just less experienced! Ive not seen him ride at Somerset but hes well and truly on an upward trajectory career wise, dont think theres a better rider on his average

Swap Brennan and sedgmen for Ellis and Bowtell that fits! Having watched sedgemen this year at Ipswich Id go for Ellis over him every time

So youre in agreement that you didnt even beat us we beat ourselves, what memorable victory in the clubs history 😂😂 Can only beat whats in front of you of course! Away from that banter, do hope panthers can pull out some decent top end riders from somewhere, need two competitive teams for a good derby! And also the racetrack is one of my favourites around and should be graced with top boys every week! Irrespective of the sour end to last year no one can argue Jack was pretty special round the Showground! Personally dont think you should have him back tho, wont get the respect from him or Torun.

**Inherit by default and still only claim by the skin of ya teeth due to injuries 😏😉

Not at all like that at Ipswich last year and Im sure the wolves fans would agree, great young lad with a good attitude and plenty of potential, incidentally both Ipswich and wolves crowdfunded online and with collection buckets for him last year to help with ever increasing machinery bills - their willingness to help to me is testament to his character and efforts on track wouldnt have done if he was different, shame he couldnt be fitted back in again this year at Foxhall, expect him to improve on his starting average again this year.

Ironically it seems the one rider over 8 wouldve been more beneficial in championship! Although I still wouldnt of liked to see it happen, the restriction stopping nicholls, Andersen, Bellego kennett etc. Dropping down is baffling

Maybe a return for greaves but at no.2 with Wood + another at reserve?

Cameron Heeps 😉

Adam Ellis could slot nicely into a second string berth at Glasgow next year, would do well round there I would think the track would suit him

Ludvig has tweeted hes got bikes and gear ready to go for uk 2018 but no uk team....so looks like he may not be back at Newcastle next year

knowing someone closely related to Alex, dont think he ever quit speedway just couldnt get a team spot last year

Absolutely right and in bringing him in we were never going to be able fit everyone from last year in! Frankly would of been harsh to leave any of them out barring sedgmen. Thats speedway and its onwards and upwards! Best of luck to Kyle and Nathan, wouldnt be surprised or disappointed to see either back again one day! Poor top 3 based on what? Rory scored more points than any other rider in league last season and king won the most races. Covatti was flying home and away before getting injured

Like our promotion knew the rules this year....at the time of the sedge mountain sacking..... 🙃

Arent the tracks in Germany generally smallish and more technical anyway compared to Poland etc.????
