Starke will not fit in the team alongside Wilson / Dean   and  Barker unless Ged  manages to get 2.5% reduction for BWD but Lasse  Bjerre  would fit regardless .

Quite so.  We're basically singing from the same hymnsheet.  Thing is, last time you just said "but Starke wont fit..." 

The reason I picked you up on it was nothing personal.  It was just that there's far too much stuff posted on here that reads like it's an unequivocal fact.  The danger then is that others pick up the baton and run with it :rolleyes: 

From what I can make out, Ged is under the impression - rightly or wrongly - that BW-D will get the reduction. Hence the widely held belief that the remaining three riders will be  BW-D, Starke & Barker.   BigCatDiary has posted on here that he thinks BW-D does qualify for the reduction.  I'm no expert on the rules & regs, but BCD is usually on the ball. 

But if it turns out to be wrong, or if Ged gets shafted over this reduction thing (which is far less likely now that Buster is involved with Panthers) then slotting in Lasse Bjerre instead of Starke would still give us a terrific team imho. 

I guess we'll find out soon enough!  But however it pans out, I'm sure every Panthers fan is looking forward to next season with more enthusiasm than for ages.

Workington have signed BWD assuming he is on his full 6 point average with no reduction. Although the AGM PR said all ex-NL riders qualify it's been suggested that it only applies to those that meet the current British passport and ACU licence requirement. BWD qualified by patriality in 2015 which is why he was assessed at 5 rather than 3 and that situation no longer applies.

Ben Barker and Lasse Bjerre signs and both will start at Reserve for the Panthers.

Next signing Thursday AM.

Don't get much at reserve to start the season. Even during the season, realistically will be either Wright/Barker/BWD or Lasse all season, very happy with that!

And that leaves a Bradley Wilson-Dean sized gap. 

Really happy with this team on paper. 

On paper you should be over the moon. Im just disappointing that midweek racing is too far without time off so will have to pick and choose a couple of meetings (dependant on opposition) as the team looks both brilliantly entertaining and hugely dominant around the showground.

Should be fun when 4 riders hate each other on this team. 

And 2 almost didn’t sign because they hate each other so much! 

Well that could indeed throw a huge spanner in the works. An unhappy camp is very rarely successful! Let’s hope for the Panthers sake there’s little foundation to that particular rumour.

I think there's a very good chance Bomber will spend time at reserve next season

Seeing as you are so well informed about a team that's in opposition with your own team , perhaps you could enlighten us a little more on the supposed hatred amongst these riders . Sounds to me that you are a little jealous and are just spouting bull5hit .

There has always been bad blood between Barker and Cook so that might be interesting

Well Harris and Cook hate each other 

Barker and Cook hate each other 

And BWD and Cook had a mega falling out 3 weeks ago. 

Great team, not jealous, just saying what ive been told.
