Diamonds85

I've always not been Claus' biggest fan (for some reason, I have no idea why) and I was a little disappointed when he signed for the Diamonds for 2020, even if it didn't work out in the end. HOWEVER... I would be GUTTED to see Claus has been lost to speedway From what I saw of him he was a brilliant rider and always give it his all... If a little angry at times. I have never really known why I didn't like him as much as other riders... I just didn't... Come back Claus!!

Looking forward... I'm guessing Danny King, Steve Worrall and Richard Lawson will be the heatleaders with the Cooks as the second strings? And Drew Kemp and Nathan Ablitt at reserve?

Bring back green!! haha... I am personally fine between yellow and white, but I understand that others may not be able to see, especially on a dark September night up in Glasgow

Racesuits are ok... But leave the bike covers and helmets alone!! They're the riders identity...

Decent, experienced reserve though to partner with young Jacob, not a bad option imo, but I agree... He's never going to make it big...

1 Sam Masters 9.41 2 Lasse Fredriksen 5.00 3 Kye Thomson 5.46 4 Paco Castagna 5.52 5 Josh Pickering 8.34 6 James Sarjeant 4.08 7 Jacob Hook 4.00 41.81 0.19

Who? And when?

Looks an interesting team, yes... But it's hard to say how good it'll be, so not guaranteed trophy contenders yet!! Mind you... It has A LOT of potential to be a brilliant team, if Lasse and Jacob are gems... Time will tell

I'm gonna sound harsh... But that's a shame. Good kid, ok second string but disappointing finish to such a promising looking side and well under the limit. Regardless, good luck Connor and good luck Plymouth for 2022

I really like how Edinburgh announce their team tbh... I bet it's annoying having to wait so long, but once the livestream (on THEIR WEBSITE ) comes around and they announce the riders one by one and interview some and give a little thought about the signings, it's really good and very professional for a speedway team at least. Better than some Twitter post and some generic picture of said rider. Well done Edinburgh, always up there near my favourite 3 or 4 clubs Even though I've still never had the opportunity to visit yet...

From what I've seen of Eli I've been impressed tbh, a lot of people say he's not ready but I really don't understand that, which is why I keep bringing up his name over and over. HOWEVER, I have only ever seen him at practice days at Scunthorpe and Leicester, riding by himself, I know riding with 3 others in a race is totally different. Let's see how he gets on. Ben Trigger will be an excellent reserve, especially at Plymouth. Top 5 looks powerful too, looks like a decent side imo.

Actually I've got it!! 1 Dan Gilkes 10.30 2 Adam Extance 5.67 3 Richard Andrews 6.55 4 Charley Powell 5.00 5 Henry Atkins 5.86 6 Ben Trigger 3.57 7 Eli Meadows 3.00 39.95 0.05 Few returnees

If there's 5.05 left for the final rider I'd go with Jamie Halder every day of the week... Very underrated NL rider imo... Only other options I could think of would be David Wallinger or Joe Alcock if he's returning... I heard last year that Wallinger was looking for a team, but that never came of anything, so I dunno if he's still considering? The only other logical average that could fit would be George Rothery... But that's a canny hike for him every Tuesday

Was looking on the website lol

Where are these silhouettes at like? I can't see any...

Is Adam Extance making a return??? Brilliant news

Dan Gilkes 10.30 Connor King 3.67 Henry Atkins 5.86 Ben Trigger 3.57 Adam Roynon 10.16 Kai Ward 3.00 Jamie Couzins??? 3.00 OR Adam Roynon/Dan Gilkes 10.16 Connor King 3.67 Henry Atkins 5.86 Wirtzfeld/Walinger Alfie Bowtell 9.54 Kai Ward 3.00 Ben Trigger 3.57 Is Adam Sheppard, Jamie Bursill or Saul Bulley still riding? Just trying to think of any 3.00ers. Seems to be a shortage this year Would be a shame to see Ryan Terry Daley not get a team anywhere...

I hope there's a few wildcard in there... Roynan as number 1 maybe? Obviously Henry Atkins, Kai Ward and Ben Trigger must be nailed on, that's a brilliant starter.

Did Kent have any assets last year then? I thought you needed a certain amount of assets to run, but if last year was their first in the CL, who did they sign as an asset? Could be, and probably am, talking a load of sh!te though Does the Thompson twins, Jamie Halder and Max Perry fit as the last 4? I'm at work so can't do all the sums!! 1. Dan Thompson 2. Jamie Halder 3. Connor Coles 4. Tom Spencer 5. Joe Thompson 6. Mickie Simpson 7. Max Perry

Who are the other 2?

Surely James Laker isn't good enough, isn't Rhys better and younger?. Theres similar standard but younger riders out there... I thought Eli was from that area? Surprised he hasn't ridden Iwade...

1 Dan Gilkes 10.30 2 Ben Trigger 3.57 3 Sam Hagon 5.75 4 Henry Atkins 5.86 5 Nathan Stoneman 8.22 6 Kai Ward 3.00 7 Kelsey Dugard 3.08

1 Dan Thompson 10.17 2 Mickie Simpson 3.62 3 Connor Coles 6.04 4 Tom Spencer 5.53 5 Joe Thompson 8.52 6 Vinnie Foord 3.00 7 Max Perry 3.00 1 Dan Thompson 10.17 2 Mickie Simpson 3.62 3 Sam Hagon 5.75 4 Tom Spencer 5.53 5 Joe Thompson 8.52 6 Vinnie Foord 3.00 7 Max Perry 3.00

1 Jordan Jenkins 9.56 2 Jamie Halder 4.63 3 Danno Verge 5.56 4 Charley Powell 5.00 5 Ben Morley 9.18 6 Jamie Couzins 3.00 7 Eli Meadows 3.00

Kent Royals Avg. 1 Ben Morley 9.18 2 Danno Verge 5.56 3 Connor Coles 6.04 4 Charley Powell 5.00 5 Jake Mulford 7.78 6 Jamie Couzins 3.00 7 Eli Meadows 3.00 39.56 0.44 I'd really like to see Jake Mulford do one more season at National League level. Watch him tear up the league before moving on to bigger and better things, but will the Sunday effect his grasstracking? If not Jake then maybe Benji Compton on a 8.00 at number 5? Also, I don't really know any local young talents who ride Iwade regularly. Other than Charlie Wood, but he's a lot younger than I thought he was... Who are the biggest emerging talents down there? Just a bit of Christmas eve Internet surfing... Don't mind me, I'm sad Merry christmas everyone
