    Maybe because Tungate wasn’t even in the same country? How long are you going to wait? It’s down to the SCB to do their own investigation as to why Tungate missed his flight. Maybe they weren’t happy with the reasons given? Fact remains, one flight took off on time and one didn’t take off at all. As I say, apples and oranges. Calling for a ban for a rider who was on his flight and told to get off it is bloody ridiculous. 

    I agree, about Tungate/ Doyle.

    Like you say Doyle turned up on time for his flight, and the the reason for him missing the meeting was beyond his control.

    In the case of Tungate his flight left without him as he was late for flight, that is down to him that he did not make it back into the UK in time for his meeting.

    For me the two totally different reasons for missing a meeting.

    Ipswich this year could do it ,big top two Ellis will be up for it king knows his way around owlerton .with Dan Thomson at reserve if he takes points of our reserve s it could go either way 

    If you would tie me down to who I think will win the Play Off Final, I would say that Ipswich are the team I would pick.

    And if the trend of what has happened in recent seasons then Ipswich will do it.

    It’s not that rare, 2 out of 3 Premiership matches today were won by the away team

    Not rare, but how many teams come to Sheffield and win?

    The team is built to win at home, and I believe at the moment we will be very difficult to beat on our own track.

    Usually if you win all of your home meeting and accumulate a number of bonus points then you will more often than not make the Play Offs.

    Once your in the Play Offs its anybody's game as proved last season when 3rd placed Sheffield and 4th placed Ipswich contested the Final.

    If for any reason it is not working for Sheffield, then expect changes, one thing the Sheffield never afraid to do is make changes and sometimes this can appear to be brutal ask Lewis Kerr.

    I do think it matters who finishes top.

    For me the main thing is that you finish in the top 4 to reach the Play Offs.

    So the top 4 to finish in the Play Offs for me will be in no particular order.

    Bell Vue

    Ipswich

    Leicester

    Sheffield

    The winner of the Play Off will be the team that books Bomber Harris as a Guest for the Play Offs.

    Reading what's been said about team spirit at Plymouth last season by management I can't see Gilkes being back there. 

    Can't see Anders either, how's he going to get from Plymouth on a Saturday night to Poland next day? 

    It's not like riding at a track near a decent Airport.. He'd have a 3 to 4 hour drive at least to Bristol or Birmingham or Luton 

    Re winning heats Strong reserves give good chances in heats 2 and 8 and to a degree 14. Fair enough to be strong in 13 and 15 but if you're losing heat 2 and 8 just as important 

    Team Spirit at Plymouth.

    Dan Gilkes.

    Please fill in with the information.

    Forget about Riss, as he might give the Championship a complete miss next year, and only ride in the Premiership, plus Polish League with Landshut, and more long-track racing on the Continent.

    Don't see him getting a Premiership place.

    Only Birmingham now needing riders and I cannot see them taking Riss.

    Kings Lynn will have the best reserve..People keep going on about Kerr but he hardly ever makes a full season without being dropped.

    I think that you will find that Kerr has only been dropped once due to poor form, and that was the 2022 season at Kings Lynn.

    Sheffield last season was down to the injuries to other riders and nothing to do with his form.

    I would say that Palm Toft is a gamble he never seems to finish a season without injury.
