Market forces - generally fees would be higher where top tier clubs had extra income from TV money

This would circulate to all levels

Without it transfer values at all levels will fall

i wonder how much my sand castle is worth now then .

In fairness I think we have a really solid team. With Mason starting as a reserve it could prove to be a master stroke especially with Bewley being the next rider up the pecking order if they were to swap places at some point we would still have a strong reserve which is something we have lacked for a few seasons. I think Rene being number one is something he will want to keep hold of. If rasmus rides at two it will be a strong pairing. Also I think putting Ty and Dan together would be another good pairing leaving Klint with number 5 linking up with the reserves.

Let's just give them a chance and support them. Looking forward to this season. Up the Comets

dont understand this post as not really seen any negative posts about the team appart from most are a bit dubious regarding klindt

the team the management have put out has to be way above what most feared when we only just survived as a club

im 1 off the biggest knockers of some of our promotrion but i cant really fault the team building they just need to keep up the good work through the season

dont turn on the fans and hold there hands up and try and correct any mistakes they make

if a rider isnt doing there job give them a little time and let them know they need to improve and if they dont well they need to go

if they know there not safe they will try to find a solution and improve

Looks like a competitive, solid team to me with obvious potential to improve. Mason at reserve should strengthen that area of the team and he should take the pressure off young Kyle and give him time to get up to speed. I always liked Rene as a racer and just hope he can be a little more consistent away from home. Others obviously have different opinions and maybe have 'inside information' but I always thought Rene was a good captain and looked out for the other members of the team. It's good to have Ty back, as he was our team towards the end of the season - he could easily have sulked and asked himself why he was bothering, but he didn't and continued to give his all. Dan is obviously a no brainer, and I can't wait to see him ride each week. It is also good to see Rasmus back, as he showed enough last time round to indicate that he will entertain and I can see him possibly teaming up with Rene. Klindt is one I am not too familiar with and people's comments to date are pretty mixed with some stating he is a gater only. Whilst I am not a fan of gaters who give up when not away first, I think it is always an advantage to have at least one in the team who you can rely on to be quick out of the traps when it really matters.

So many thanks to Laura and co. for putting this team together, but mainly for ensuring we have speedway again in 2018.

All it needs now is for an injury free season, and for people to get themselves to DP as often and as enthusiastically as they can.

One rider from last year isn't returning due to work commitments which could be either Ty or Matt...if we go with Ty and Kyle Bickley that will leave 14.31 for last two riders.. matt finished on 4.85 leaves over 9pts for the final rider and aint no-one out there with that average !! Surely we will be looking to use up as many points as we can and getting 2 riders to make up the 14.31 pushing Mason to start at reserve ...the guessing gets interesting now

looks like you got it wrong about the rider that couldnt comit due to work comitments then as its now turned out to be rene bach

as others said at the time it was never said the rider was in last years team just a previous rider

most new ty was probably back and matt had said himself workington had never been intouch

Whys that then?? Who in there consistently wins races? All 6/7pt men... compare it to every other team named and it looks poor (apart from Berwick)

Interesting riding order - I’m not a worky fan so haven’t seen them all around your track but looking at the lineup not at all how I’d put them together!

I’d go with proctor at 5 think he’d win more races than klindt there - some good no.5’s in the league that know beating klindt at the tapes is likely all they need to do proctor a bit more of a racer and also a decent starter!

therefore I’d put klindt+rasser at 3/4 so you’ve got the Danes together and a gater + a racer in the engine room, putting Bewley at 2 which would also mean in campton increases he’s can slide straight into no.2!! 

If Rene can get back to how he was a few years back when he and kenni Larsen tore the league apart at Newcastle then could be dark horses! I see improvement in rasser bewley and bickley - but if he can’t I don’t see improvement in klindt or much in proctor so could leave you short in hts 13/15 - all that said and entertaining looking side and great to see young brits in local teams
