No no no. Please I really thought he was out the equation and it would be a good suprise signing

Nah. The surprise was today in the "entertaining" Simon Lambert(as someone said earlier).

Welcome back Captain Fantastic.

Lambo signing was the worst kept secret over the last 3 months. For one, I'm not bothered what he does in the pits, I want to see him performing better on the track, especially away from home. Jake is nailed on to return, so the last two team spots need to be remarkably good and I don't consider Aarnio as being one of them.  If he is ,we will be at the wrong end of the table in 2022.

Nice to see someone speaking sense and not blinkered one way or another.

For a team to be successful you need improvers but that doesn't mean all of them have to improve, so that is the only way I can justify to myself the signing of Lambo & from what the popular speak is Aarnio, those 2 will probably stay the same average or thereabouts, the improvement has to come from Palin, Zaine & Kingsley. Allen & Douglas could go either way, if they improve then the team will do well, if they don't then it won't be pretty.

Oh god not that old argument!!!! They absolutely do not risk there lives for our entertainment!!

As for being negative why is it negative to expect a half decent side to be made up? I appreciate there's budgets to adhere to but if you charging £17 for 15minutes of entertainment at least try to provide some and put together a competitive side

True.I always think about just signing riders but if they don’t like track or think they are worth more these are all snagging points. I’m just really great full we have speedway and it’s always great entertainment. It’s better to have a team that want to be there then individuals who expect.

You do make some good points but riders like Lambert and Aarnio smack of a lack of ambition, I've nothing against them as riders but there not going to improve and have been there level they are for years now
