The BSPA don't pay all outstanding monies, they do however pay some.

With some very tough matches away aswell at home, they could well be pointless until end of May!

Likely excuse. Tut Tut, Mr

Sounds like a slow day in Dorset to me.

Don't think Danny will be impressed when he sees that line up.

Newman has been/was heat leader this season for Plymouth. You are comparing apples to oranges. Middlo and Hawkins are team managers, Louis is not team manager and hasn't been for a few seasons. You should know this since you're an Ipswich fan!!

Stop taking the Michael!

Riders are definitely still owed money. However, that money is to be paid by BSPA (when they get around to it). Kurtz and the rest of the Plymouth side were getting paid this season. It was merely happening slower and slower as the season went on, which is usually a bad sign.

Are Holder and the rest of the visa chaps allowed to double up/down? I always thought that was what was preventing him from getting an EL spot last year. Has something changed?

They original got the wrong average for Waj...Zach, so it wouldn't surprise me at all.

Recently? That was sorted near the start of the season, wasn't it?

Poole, as far as I know.

Has Joe Jacobs signed for anyone?

Wouldn't be at all surprised to see Buster at Leicester. Didn't Jonathan have a part to play in the return of the Lions? I seem to recall he was involved in the very early stages. I'm not a fan of some of the new rules I have to admit, but it's a good job Buster is at the helm this winter. I can't see any of the recent other leaders prepared to pull up their sleeves and get well and truly stuck in like he appears to have done.

If his brother was given an assessed average for 7.00 at Redcar (with no World U21 Finals experience), you would have thought MBA would be given at least the same average, but seems logic is a foreign word in Speedway.

Whilst British riders who have ridden in the World U21 Finals are saddled with ridiculous grades trying to get a ride in Denmark.

It's unfair to fully judge until all of the sides have been released. But....... If the obvious 2 signings are made by Poole, they look very impressive. As do Rye House, who have the potential to build up quite a HTA if the side clicks. Obviously everything is up in air in Coventry (and I hope everything works out for them), but the side they built looked very solid to me. The reserves were strong, and they had enough all round improvement in them to well and truly be in the mix. But Swindon....it actually looks like Rosco wanted to have his best buds (Doyle and Morris) in the side, and gave minimal thought to the rest of the side. Weakest side by far to me, and will require at least one rider to have a special season and/or changes.

With the way Rosco has built the side this year, wouldn't be surprised to see Peter Karger as the last signing

I think Emil is a far more likely signing

Kiwi, Dane & Brit (with unique name) to complete side?

Impressive side so far. Side looks to be built like it should, not ridiculously top heavy, like some will be.

Riders are generally deducted basic insurance @ source, usually at £5 per race, IIRC. It's then up to the individual rider if they want to take out additional, and more comprehensive, insurance cover.

Wouldn't have thought Poole would be interested in Auty....

The Premiership 'averages' are only artificial. Guys like Doyle won't be expecting to get near their average. People are taking the term 'average' far too literally with the new averages.

Somerset tried to get Mountain, but believe he turned them down, so looks unlikely they are going for the well-rounded approach.
