Absolutely I'm sure he'll do fine, all I'm saying is an ideal world you'd want someone looking over shoulder in 2nd bend in the way Shane did with cockle, kziesak etc. In a team like that, exciting though it most definitely might be would be every man for himself lol.

Complin isn't the type of senior reserve needed to bring ace on imo. He always was a bit wild and rugged and few streamed meetings I saw thought nothing of fencing his teammates. Seems another odd choice to me if true

Most I speak to are of same view as me tbh. But let's see, if his attitude and particularly his equipment are up to scratch he'll do fine.

I can still hope we get dudek on an 8 lol. Until I see it in black n white there's hope

Well given Harris isn't going to Birmingham looks pretty nailed on he's signing for us. My feelings are the same as a lot of tigers fans n going to take a lot to get us back on side. Given the other available options being riss and howarth then he's probably the best of the 3, but still not happy lol

Not to be pedantic but we have 1 actually. But what has trophies got to do with how professionally the clubs run? No doubt Poole are very successful but both are up there with best run in the country imo.

Certainly was, rather than take part in a farcical inter league challenge with at least one rider representing both teams!!

Happy Tom's back. Hopefully takes big step forward next year

Ah my bad, thought you were original poster. Early mornings waiting for the train in the cold for 40 minutes to blame!!

Before my time but the old man always talks about the track spare. Probably from around the Hampden era. Said riders would do anything but ride the track spare ha

Wouldn't like to think so. Made a big deal of being rent free for us and ashfield juniors at the time of the takeover

If feels like Birmingham have tested the water with this 20quid pricing, many will follow.

We own our stadium, don't have any rent

Exactly essentials can do nothing about. But speedway and all leisure activities really need to have a look at themselves. If we go to 20quid a skull just for entry then that's probably going to be out of my comfort zone and will probably pick and choose my meetings. Throw in program, seat in the stands, raffle ticket you're at 30quid before you've had an irn bru.

Yeah it's going to be those 4-6 guys who are going to miss out. Which in the case of Conner and kemp in particular going to be detrimental to their development. All because the prem can't attract better quality riders, well done bspl there's 2 young British riders out a job

Think broc, like Conner might struggle to get himself a team place on his average. Feels like going to be quite a few out of work to start the season. Ruml & kemp would be another 2.

More than 1 team offering an unattached rider a contract, because one of the teams is Poole the other teams trying to steal. Who knew

Yeah that's what I mean. Teams won't necessarily be aiming for away wins like would in the 4 point era. So likes of Oxford and Berwick can accept little from reserve as their top 5 should keep them in the hint for the bonus point

I wonder if the change in the points system has led to some changes in team building? With being back to the bonus point Oxford and to a lesser extent berwick look like will be in most away matches maybe looking to score 40 points away then get bonus over going for 4 point away wins.

Remember a Glasgow side had parker stancl greaves Bentley and Graham Jones in the top 5. A shoe in you'd think. But Cory Blackman and Barry Campbell barely scored a point from reserve season went nowhere. Since then always been a believer in at least one strong reserve.

6-0 to cook at ashfield this season when Berwick visited. You need any more evidence lol. I assumed he was going to Edinburgh?

First season where both have ridden in championship that Harris has had a better average, mostly down to cookies injury and mechanical problems. How does that make him an improvement?

Dam why couldn't you have taken Harris too All seriousness probably a wee bit stronger than Berwick but a lot of inexperience at reserve.

If it's to be Harris Fraser won't fit as he'd need to come in on a 5. For me it's a hard no on complin too
