If it is that team I'm fine with it. Solid but nothing too exciting

Howarth confirmed

I can't see either of them getting a big number 1 but would be delighted to be proved wrong. I expect Tungate and Magic to settle at 1 and 5 with plenty of riders that are on a 5/6 point averages. Birmingham I really don't have a clue

It depends on who you are up against. At home Lawson will be probably end up at 5 but if I was up against a team away from home where I'm struggling to see wins in certain heats you can try target other heats like heat 8 and 14 etc

I'd put Kvech at 4 personally. Rob has a great opportunity to switch riders around depending on the opposition. Could easily put Cook and Lawson as a pair and that gives Lawson heat 8 as well. Makes them strong in heats others aren't.

Cracking side I reckon. A matter of keeping riders fit ofcourse

Kings Lynn's side isn't built for heats 13 and 15. More like heat 2 ,12 14 etc

Think Kim would be a decent signing

Doesn't sound like a team with a budget for 500 fans attending

Announcement at 7

Worth a punt I reckon.

What's his average?

Now teams are getting put in place it really makes you wonder who Birmingham are signing. If the rumoured teams are true then there isn't one heat leader I can think of who is signing. Lots of 4/5 point riders avaliable. Worrall, Sedgmen, S Lambert, Rory S, Kemp, Vuolas, Rew etc. They have to surely convince some foreign guys to come over. They have no choice really .

Still no Jubilee final. Gutted.

Rumour has it Cook is signing for Berwick, makes the Cook to Leicester rumour even more convincing with Stewart managing both sides

The rumours mill suggests just one or two changes. New number 6 and Howarth for Lawson

As a Lions fan can I say how jealous I am of this side? If Ipswich don't have any serious injuries and don't win the league then I'm calling them 'spursy'

Your right. We had a great season and probably over achieved slightly. We can moan all we want about how we would build the team but we always seem to perform well with Stewart in charge

Controversial opinion here but I wouldn't have even had them running the last few years. Surely the money Tolley has lost could have been saved up to focus on bringing back the club in a more safe financial state. Workington managed to build a track out of nothing and the Tolley should have done something similar even if that meant re naming the club or even moving them out of the city. People will disagree with this point but I'd rather see the brummies not run for a number of years if that meant they could be force later down the line.

I expect Douglas at the Lions but I could be wrong

Kolodziej, Jepsen Jensen, Nilsson, Huckebeck, Hampel, Wornya, Kowalski, Zengota, R Jensen, Cierniak, M Hansen, Drabik, Wozniak, Buczkowski, Chugonoz, Loktayezv, Lyager, Bjerre, Thorsell etc. There's plenty more you can add to that list . Some would come on assessed 5,6,7 assessed averages. I doubt many of them would come to Birmingham. I imagine alot of riders wanting to try Britian would fancy a club with a good track record or riders that fancy improving there ability on technical tracks. Birmingham are a real mystery next season on who they bring in. Nobody knows

I agree, the only route I can see them going is like King's Lynn team set up. Lots of 6pt riders because of the lack of GP riders wanting to ride in Britain. There's plenty of 6pt riders out there abroad but they could easily turn out like Pawlicki or Milik

If brennan and Doyle sign which I expect to then what a great side

There self employed so I don't blame them wanting to ride somewhere else to more earn money etc.

Im pretty convinced from what TTT posted a while back about the team being Fricke, Howarth, Masters, Becker, Douglas and someone like Cookie at 6. Just cannot see Dickson going for a big hitter at 5. I still think the team is good though. Just doesn't have the balance and excitement I was hoping for. Atleast it's a side full of riders that we can rely on to turn up week in week out and not do a runner to Poland.
