What's wrong? Don't you like BJ?

Been the case for several years now, sadly.

I assume the NL regulations have changed, or has he given up the chance of a PL spot?

Final year in 2015?

Birks' was lower, so Poole effectively had 2nd pick but Lakeside chose to protect their asset.

Greaves is at Dudley again, where Clegg may well follow him - I have no idea, but he is popular there. They ride on Wednesdays so in that sense may not be the best of choices. That being said, Clegg is good at Leicester, Lambert is good at King's Lynn. If it suits both parties, why not a swap?

Sadly they are not alone.

+1 Especially with the NL slashing their points limit. It leaves some of the top NL boys/potential PL reserves somewhat vulnerable.

The B grades were posted by R&R on the previous page. Perks has ridden what 2-3 NL meetings? Little soon to be throwing him into EL!

I know the Michael Lee thing has been going on for a while, but even so, that's a pretty rough day for Mildenhall supporters. Losing 2 Promoters and a Number 1!

Average wise Morris is the highest, but hasn't signed for a PL side either, so he may be sitting out next year too. Clegg struggles on big, fast tracks. Would suspect it'd be either Halsey or promoting someone from Young Stars side.

Why would they dump Kerr?

Well, he is from Ipswich....

Tend to think the fast track is largely solid, however becoming an asset of an EL club gives the EL club additional "power" when it comes to the draft, but it does the individual rider no favours at all when it comes to PL racing. It's almost as if the draft is a black mark against the rider if they are involved in it.

Halsey has made some large strides over the last couple of years. Changed tuners to Phil Crump (I think) a few seasons ago which really made a difference, and then he won the NLRC this season on a track he struggled to complete 4 laps on not so long ago. I think he's one of those slow and steady improvers, ala Starke. He's never going to become a world champion, but can be a dependable/solid PL rider if given the chance. It's not always what you do when you're a teenager that matters. If you saw Hans Andersen as a 12 or 13 year old, the question was not if he would become world champion, but how many times. Sadly it's not happened for him for whatever reason. Other riders like Bridger, Risager and Fisher have barely improved since their first seasons in the EL.

3 years in a row - hattrick!

Admiring the legs in a mirror is probably closer to the truth

Garry May and Matt Ford are close.

Get well soon, Mr Fever

I love this. "I usually stand with decent people. Plus HalifaxTiger ;)" Last time I went to Redcar, I had this guy come up to me. For some reason he thought I was Najjer and seemed to want to start a fight with me! Not been to Redcar since.

Some say the same about Ipswich...

Remember him riding Darcy Ward's bike at King's Lynn a few years back. Didn't go too well and ended up in the fence with Nick Morris I think it was at high speed. Both were lucky to escape injury. Will be interesting to see how he fares.

Unless Coventry purchase his contract, I can't see how the EL matches would take precedence. So I guess the "not knowing" is down to not knowing whether Horton is planning on purchasing his contract or not?

Think he meant 2013. Getting his years confused. A sure sign of getting old

Not a huge shock, but should ensure the Scottish derbies are even spicier next season! Does anyone know who actually did his engines this year?
