  1. He will as he has signed for Masarna in the Elitserien as well.
  2. Robert Lambert has signed for Masarna in the Elitserien.
  3. Tony Davey and Pete Bailey. John Louis won heat 12. Each had four ride maximums, one paid. Eastbourne had two last places going into heat 13 whilst getting 5-1s in heats 2 and 8. Full details for this match and vast number of others can be found here: http://www.speedwayresearcher.org.uk/index.html
  4. Ambiguous. The AGM statement: 'Heat-leader standard riders graded into a list – maximum of three per club. This is to deal with distorted averages created by race format. Any new non-British rider assessed at 6.5 or above to join this list.' I cannot tell if this refers to riders completely new to the EL or those not riding here in 2015.
  5. Eastbourne, 1971 second division champions didn't have a single prominent heatleader except, perhaps, Malcolm Ballard, but a team of solid second strings. What can be achieved is what took place at Foxhall Heath on 5th August. Despite Ipswich providing eleven out thirteen race winners they could only manage a draw and going into the final heat were four points down.
  6. The last time Good Friday was earlier, 21st March 2008, Lakeside were at Poole for a challenge match on 12th March. Whether or not being the 25th means the season starts 15th March next year I don't know but we open our season on the 18th, Lakeside that is. Clearly you weren't at the Morten Risager Testimonial in March 2014. Never been so cold since being at the Arena Raceway for the Good Friday fixture 21st March 2008. In fact towards the end I was so cold I was beginning to feel unwell. Cold when I got home and still so when I went to bed.
  7. Got lost in all that scotch mist that descended on them.
  8. Heeps would leave 6.65 for the final rider but I don't see any credible rider out there who would fit the bill. It would place Kasper at reserve though.
  9. Actually they haven't. This is what Matt Ford said: "....I really believe that he will develop into an out and out heat leader which will give us that bit of extra depth to the side and I am surI really believe that he will develop into an out and out heat leader which will give us that bit of extra depth to the side and I am sure the Poole fans will quickly make him feel very much at home. He is a rider who I have been interested in for a while and with the rules on heat leader criteria having been ironed out during Conference I felt that now was the time to make the move for him as in my mind he ticks all the boxes." e the Poole fans will quickly make him feel very much at home.

  10. Frankly, I'd be devastated if I was a Morrissey fan.
  11. Just one problem, if Sam returns to Leicester he won't be at Rye unless they change their race night.
  12. That was when they gave Lambert a run-out which resulted in his being short-term Rocket. I expect this was done by special agreement as well as Lakeside, inexplicably, agreed to visit Leicester the same day as the Swedish Individual Championship which meant they were already without AJ and Nilsson.
  13. No I imagine. The only reason it happened last season was that at the time Ed was signed by Lakeside (and Rye House for that matter) he was still a Coventry asset meaning the Hammers had priority. It was all down to which league the parent club rode. Once the Garrity/Kennett transfer was completed it would then mean Rye had priority. Therefore it was done by gentleman's agreement whereby, in the event of a clash, Ed would be made available to whichever club was riding at home.
  14. Also applies to Lewis Kerr. Revised averages are Sarjeant 4.88 and Kerr 6.85.
  15. Danny King 9.54 Nico Covatti 7.55 Lewis Kerr 7.03 Morten Risager 6.86 James Sarjeant 5.00 Paco Castagna 3.33 Darryl Ritchings 3.00 total 42.31
  16. Other riders now available following Ipswich's clearout are Tungate, Heeps, Ashley Morris and Nielsen.
  17. 7.47, exactly Chris Holder's average but I don't suppose it will be him lol.
  18. Good. That being the case it appears the SS dd 24th October was incorrect.
  19. That is what the initial annoucement said. However, the article in the Speedway Star stated that it would apply to both reserves. I've heard nothing more since then so am none the wiser.
  20. Jonsson 7.84 Nilsson 6.98 Kennett 5.86 Blackbird 3.70 Mear 3.00 total 27.38 leaves 13.12 for two riders
  21. Also, check out park and ride options. It may work out cheaper to book accommodation further away then drive/bus in. Someone who lives in the area may be able to help with this.
  22. I think you could add Kumla to that list, the home of Indianerna in the Elitserien, a real racers' paradise.
  23. This really is turning into something of a dog's breakfast. Worse still they could have kept NBJ even if Lambert had signed whilst accepting that the reserve pairing would be weakened but, on balance, I think NBJ over Klindt could have been preferable to a slightly stronger pair of reserves. At least Rye would still have NBJ on their books. Now they are left with poor Ed having to carry a team which might end up in reality as one heatleader and four second strings.
  24. Actually, I was referring to Ruthless Robert.
  25. Maybe he wasn't going to sign anyway. Therefore, how about Nick Morris. It doesn't look as if he will returning to Glasgow next year. Then there is another Morris (Ashley). Doesn't seem to feature in Ipswich's plans if the article in this week's star is to be believed and he impressed when the Witches visited last August. This line-up would fall just short of the points limit, 42.42.
