Thats a very good signing, young and improving rider, leaves 10.7 for the last three riders, do they go 2 x 2 and a 6+ or 1 x 2 pointer, and a couple of 4,s ?.

Very good signing, starts at number 1 but forms a very good trio of heat leaders. Last signings are a bit of a mystery? I feel Luke Harris is bound to be in the side and is good value on his average but that would leave 4.96 for the final 2 riders? Embleton and Dicken are both 2.33?

Thanks for the update, just one last question why doesn't Pearson and co run a premiership side out of Monmore or Perry Barr? Presumbably it's just down to cost?

I'm sure cost comes into it but there are also very few available dates at Monmore - the smaller NL this year makes it possible but I wouldn't imagine there will be too many free Mondays over the summer.   I think the support would be there for it, should it ever become a realistic prospect.

Spot on. Got lazy and used the 2019 signings thread rather than the actual greensheets....probably islander getting his own back because i was mean about the Warriors side

Haha good old islander I rate two riders in the warriors team not many other though...

Lewis whitmore and Tom Spencer signed for Cradley according to speedway star 

Im not convinced on this one/two. Spencer has certainly got talent but (did have) terrible equipment, Whitmore has had many chances and taken zero (except on the score charts) and am just really not a fan of his in so many ways. However with such a strong team building start its a shame that Cradley have slipped.

Would both be on a 2.00 average?  I assume so, Lewis is showing as 3.00 on 2018 list but I can't see Tom on there.

With Harry also starting on a 2.00 it may mean one of Lewis or Tom would be in the main body of the team to allow Harry to start at reserve.  I must admit I know nothing of Tom, I saw Lewis briefly at Buxton last season when Cradley rode there but he had to pull out after a fall in Heat 2.  

If they are on a 2.00 each it would, I think, leave 6.43 for the final rider

Strange for the club not to announce the signings in the usual way via Social Media though?

Correct and Kieran Douglas had 7 rides and scored 8 points

Cradley have been caught out the same as King's Lynn with their Robert Lambert announcement.      They set up announcements for tomorrow expecting the Christmas post to cause delays with the Speedway Star, but there have been no delays and we've all got the Speedway Star today as normal, so the news is out a day earlier than they planned.

Cant both be on a 2.00 cus only allowed 2 in a team. Awful team, do well to finish off the bottom

Think Whitmore has a GSA of 2.19. Last seasons record was retired or excluded in a quarter of his races and managed to score points in just a third of them.

Not sure how many seasons Tom Spencer has been riding? 2/3? Certainly quick and brave enough, very likeable character and must get on well with the scrutineers :D. Probably as riders they are the polar opposites of each other but you do have one good signature.

Thanks, that makes sense
