Where Will They End Up In 2009?

[johnw]

Hi All

I have been trying to follow all the three league's clubs signings for the coming season and see very few of our last conference league riders fixed up so far unless I have completely messed up.
As a reminder these are the main riders for us that season:

Lee Smethills
Jordan Frampton
Andrew Bargh
Danny Betson
Sam Martin
Brendan Johnson
Kyle Hughes
Scott Campos
Dakota North

It is probable that Sam has permanently retired from British speedway. Jordon Frampton is Poole's No8 and Newport's No4. Brendan Johnson is Somerset's No6 and Isle of Wight No3. Scott Campos is at King's Lynn and Kyle Hughes at Plymouth. Anybody know what is happening to the very talented and exciting Danny Betson and the ultra reliable Lee Smethill and the others?

I will be keeping an eye on the progress of several other ex Oxford riders this season including the Branneys, Chris Mills, Adam Wrathall, Ben Hopwood, Steve Johnston, Ales Drymyl etc. Any others you will be following that I have forgotten?

Danny Betson is being a mechanic at Eastbourne this season. I believe he's with David Norris again. Last season he started reasonably well but then got injured and I believe as such retired again. Let's hope it's just a break from the sport.

It says on the BSF that Andrew Bargh is staying in New Zealand this season.

I'm surprised that no PL team has signed up Eric Andersson who I think could be really good at this level. Anyone else share this view?
