Before everyone starts complaining about teams being weak again. Cradley fans: did you enjoy the meeting? Was the racing good or was it gate and go stuff?

Presumably, on the BSPA site Verge and Govier are declared in the side now, so I'm not sure how Govier can ride as a number 8. I would've thought Chapman or Kirby would have to be the number 8 with the other a 'guest'.

Only slip up is likely to be a fall or retirement making it 10 from 4 imo.

Done the same.

They're just this years averages and the green sheets use rolling averages so they're not the same figure. Anders looks as if he's going to be back sooner than expected but in the mean time, had a 'proper' number 1 have scored 6 yesterday Scunny would have got a league point! But the team has been inconsistent with no-one standing out as the obvious choice to drop to me, maybe Auty for me but he's carrying an injury and just signed a full contract! If those 4 are struggling is swapping a 3.00 man for another really going to make much of a difference tbh? I'm surprised Blackbird missed out. Do you or Scunthorpe fans know why, or was it just averages? As to Sarjeant Coventry Storm are a Friday track even if the Bees don't ride on a Friday much.

Reading Ipswich's 2014 averages was interesting so here are Scunthorpe's: Home/away - overall (overall including bonus points) Douglas 8.60/4.80 - 6.49 (6.67) Howe 6.67/5.68 - 6.16 (6.70) Birks 6.40/5.07 - 5.83 (6.63) Auty 5.33/6.12 - 5.75 (6.13) Jorgensen 4.71/6.44 - 5.60 (6.17) Numerous guests at # 1 4.44/4.33 - 4.38 (5.33) Williamson 1.33/2.57 - 2.00 (2.15) Clearly guests aren't working, only Douglas is scoring over his average, and Auty's figure is inflated by his 14 from 5 at Sheffield.

Gone for Woodward +1 against Morris, he got 8 from 3 guesting for Coventry after all!

Which bookie can you bet on heat winners?

Converted NL averages don't exist. You either use a previous PL one, if he's never been in the PL before he's a 3.00, or they randomly make up their own rules and reassess.

I have the same problem, I can't find it!

So it's ok to deprive PL and NL clubs of programme sales?? Btw I've gone for Stead -1 vs Fricke.

I've also backed Tai over 7 & Cookie +2, and put a little on Milik -2.

I'm not sure if it's different this year but previously the first rider missing in your 2-5 war covered by R/R (so that's Kerr) and your number 7 (so Rose) is covered by a 3.00 National League guest, who is someone who doesn't have another PL team and hasn't achieved over 4.00 in the PL before which rules out Smart, Mallett & Carr. For me Sarjeant is the obvious choice, but I'd like to see them go with BDJ or Kingston.

Danny Ayres was supposed to ride for Scunthorpe, after a few MDL meetings, so I wonder what happened to that...

He was declared in the Scunthorpe team originally so I think he's one of the two moto cross riders that they wanted.

Do league cup matches count towards averages?

Sean Phillips has signed & Cockle guests for Carr on Sunday.

And he pointed out we could be lying by not posting betting slips, but everyone posted before the meetings started!

Coventry -6 (19/20), Eastbourne +8 (19/20), Woodward over 6 (1/1) & Mikkelsen -2 (4/5).

Gustix I think it's neither. Leicester are a very good team and as many previously observed Fremantle is an important team member!

I backed any other score and thought I'd won as well!

6am tomorrow. I've backed Holder over 8 at 6/5 & Zagar over 7 at 5/6. The best heat winning bets look like Ward heat 1 (4/6), Zagar heat 9 (21/20) & Holder heat 13 (13/10) to me, with the latter 2 both off gate 1!

I haven't done anything! Only one i'd consider is Lakeside at -17. I laughed at Lakeside being 1/100 to win though haha

Some quick answers on the ones I know: Irving - He put his job over a Scunny PL place last season. Bekker - Had an operation last summer and sold most of his kit he has been on a bike since in SA but that doesn't mean he necessarily wants a team spot. Branford - Withdrew from the British Under 21 final, so ever increasingly looking like he can't make it over this year. Knight - Retired this winter. Atkin - Retired midseason last year but he said he'll help out Stoke if they need it this year. Stoneman - Retired to concentrate on being a mechanic.

I'd like to see Bailey get at least 1 R/R ride.
