One small addendum is Lee is suspended for 30 days pending his hearing where any further punishment may or may not be given. So the 30 day suspension is potentially not final punishment.

Came from the Monarchs promotion I co-ordinate the match previews for the Monarchs website so had it confirmed so it could be added to the preview that went up around half an hour ago

Surely as a neutral it was better to see Pijper cover 3 of the 4 rides than a lesser rider cover all 4

Could be wrong but from memory that changed last year when the transponder equipment went in

I’m just going off what I was told by someone involved in the management at Berwick that they are aware of a couple of clashes and aren’t concerned

Don’t panic As is often the case with that poster what they know and what they think they know are completely different. Drew may miss a couple of meetings but this was known by Berwick and facilities are allowed in those instances.

I would imagine the Monarchs argument centered around the wording of rule 10.2.1 which states rolling match averages are made up from last two years fixtures which would give Max an average of sub 2.8 It isn’t in the scb regs that I can see so can’t remember the exact rule but I assume the rolling average for team building uses a set amount of meetings giving the 4.21 figure. Does raise the question on if Max’s average would drop to the lower figure after the first cut off after he rode a league meeting this year.

I think Birmingham made a mistake not signing him, he’d be on a 3.53, is a fan fav there and rides Perry Barr like a championship heat leader so would be good for 5 or 6 at home most weeks alongside 3 or 4 away at most tracks I’d say

Your second point about not arranging it that way is spot on If it needs a double header the easiest way (and it’s still a bit of a pain) is charge people the full price on entry then offer a partial refund as they leave before the second match. Edinburgh did that for a double header last year. The main downside was seeing a queue prob 200 deep that weren’t staying for the second match which was pretty disheartening really.

Bit of a false equivalence unless you also list the amount of meetings being shown, as this is going up again next year the price per stream isn’t far of the same

I could be wrong (and apologies to Phil if so) but the article in the Peterborough paper is written by ‘Holeshot media’ who I think is Phil Lanning. Given his experience and ties to the Tigers I’d be very surprised if he’s let slip something he shouldn’t have or wasn’t allowed to.

Meeting off now Monday 7.30pm

Remember though with the new rules for no8 that they can replace anyone at any time so Smith could have some of Pijper and Complin’s rides (as long as they have 3) and the same for Oxford Killeen could replace Atkins or Boughen in rides if they were struggling also

I’m sure if you could find one for the promotion they’d be happy for you to get in touch
