Joe Lawlor and Connor Coles would be better options than Phillips. Both have improvement in them. They might not score a load of points at the minute but could still weigh in with 3 or 4 and that can make a difference.

Aye but there averages could be a tad too high

Surely lawlor will be on a 2.00 not sure about Coles. Maybe Glasgow will snap Coles up as Jack Thomas is taking a break from Speedway. Glasgow used Coles the other week and by all accounts were impressed with him.

I think Lawlors is higher than a 2

Another one less to pick from....replace Danny with joe Lawlor before he gets signed up as well .

They will not sign anyone I'm afraid. Although they cannot allow the season to fizzle out. But if they don't for me get at least Lasse Bjerre out it will. Just look what's happened at SJP!!

and pre-signed to Scunthorpe i believe. The way things are headed riders in the youth rounds will be signed up before they turn 16 on a regular basis.

cannot pre sign an under age rider . the rider can only pledge his intentions   to the club and can back out any time .. (enter Glasgow )

Jordan Palin. How old? Only riding for Belle Vue Colts at the Moment. Not sure if he is old enough to ride in Championship? Flying at the moment. Is he available for us? Would Martin Phillips drop his son for him? He needs to do something soon. He's given him far too much time already! Guested for Edinburgh on Saturday. Fell off in his first two rides. Then 2 coconuts in his next 2 rides. Not on the pace at all.

Was with Archie and Danny at the Belle Vue and Swindon rounds of the BYC at the weekend, and Jordan was brilliant both from the gate, and his pace and style in the heats. He had some great duels with the Thompson twins( not the singers) and like Jordan they are both going to make great riders. They have grown since the last time I saw them, and on their way up. All those three riders are 15 at the moment.

Can we ?

Yes... We'd be 2.03 points under the limit... Danny is 2.00 and danyon would be 3.69 (last year's average with 2.5% reduction... I think) or alternatively we could swap lasse for a new number 1 8.50 or less... (Just missing out on Erik Riss ☹️ 8.58)

Thank God for that ;)

Didn't realise we would have so many spare points,,, but ain't it strange how figures change from one day to another?

He is 16 next February so is not eligible this season only can ride for the Belle blue Colts

It's the added limit points that have helped us... Our team as a whole has stayed at a similar level... Max and Matty increasing, Tommy and lasse decreasing... Everyone else the same... Ish

Thanks for that, Steve, but I thnk our reserves are nailed on to the end of the season (which will be upon us before we know it).

Would have liked Connor at reserve... Think he's got a good style and knows our track already... Just was too early for him a few years ago

Honestly

Knowing how this lot operate don't rule out Carl Wilkinson on a 3.98...

However you do like your random names so how about Fritz Wallner on a straight 4.00...
