The league is being split the past few seasons into the haves and have nots, unfortunately Edinburgh along with Plymouth and Berwick seem to be in the second category.

Edinburgh have at least tried this season so far with Palovaara and Grahn to bring something fresh, unfortunately the big hitters often stay put or chase the money elsewhere.

They might pull a rabbit out of the hat, there is still time yet.

looks like the only thing left in the hat is a WOODEN SP00N 😀

Hopefully the promoters will give us a pleasant surprise but assuming Paco on 7.11 and a 2 point reserve then Claus Vissing`s average of 6.34 fits in. Other than that it looks like it would have to be someone from outwith UK

Could it be another 5.00 plus Connor Coles ?  That would fit inside 8.44.

It was a weak moment in my Forum career, heard you’re dropped already as your very pink skin doesn’t go with the race suits.

Not to mention you would probably be sh*te, but you would still be a better option than Dayle Wood right enough.

Come to think of it if someone was pushing your fat arse in a wheelbarrow you would still be a better option than Dayle Wood.

Hopefully Mr Dickson has Blobbys number on speed dial for a mid season change then if Dayle isn’t up to scratch.

Only kidding Blobby I actually like you as you post more drivel than me on here.

Could be worse my mate had a pair of Speedo shorts for swimming on holiday and i peeled the S off when he went to the pool all the kids jumped out screaming.

And that was my mate he still isn't talking to me.

Here was me thinking you really thought I’d be better than dayle wood as well. 🙁

Can I just thank Mr Blobby and Gazc for the best bit of banter on this site in a long time. It just brought a big smile to my face.

I hope this is not reported as a "hate crime".

They are that good they should be on the stage.... there is a one leaving in 5 mins.

Riss confirmed at Redcar. Not many decent riders left for Monarchs to sign.

[SteveLyric2]

John Campbell steps up to BSPL Board replacing Danny Ford who has stepped down to first reserve due to increased commitments in 2025.

It’s Paco plus reserves now you’d think. Not great.

Only other rider I can see who rides in UK is James Pearson on 5.51. I am still trusting in promoters to surprise us with a new face. Situation is that I await Blobby making the comment "won`t be Pearson" which will give us a yes or no on Pearson

Pearson was very good at Ashfield 7.64 (8.55) but not so much away 3.05 (3.68), I wouldn't consider him a good signing on a 5.51 average, unless it was returning to Glasgow.

I certainly wouldn't have chosen him ahead of Fredriksen (still not sure if he wanted to go or didn't have a team spot) who's on a lower average.
