    You are correct, not that it matters.

    010.5 FACILITIES
    No facility is permitted to replace a rider, who although included in a re-
    declaration
    has not made an appearance for that team since being re-
    declared.

    But surely that's for a re-declaration, not for a replacement to the originally declared rider?

    Belle Vue have a huge home advantage. Doyle for example struggled for pace there last year by his own admission and even when he made the gate, he was soon swallowed up by the likes of Kurtz and Lidsey. Set up is just as important at big fast tracks as it is for small technical ones. The Belle Vue boys are very very quick around their home track and if you’re a visiting rider there and struggling for pace, you’ll very quickly get found out. 
     

    There are some tracks where you can pop out of the gate and keep faster riders behind you by being clever with the lines you take and acting as a roadblock. You have absolutely zero chance of doing that at the NSS. 

    Spot on.  Couldn't 'like' as I've lost that ability.

    Think someone said android users can't react to posts 

    No, I can react fine using my phone, it's using a computer which doesn't work - I'll try a different browser - tried using microsoft edge and doesn't work on that either

    For a short period of time, Swindon used to have local bands playing on the greyhound track by the starting gate during the interval.

    I thought it was a shame that they didn't keep that up. I liked it.

    Yes, I'd enjoy that too and it's give some exposure to the bands as well so not that expensive.

    I don't think it's that bad, couple of what should be good reserves and we know all Worrall and Brennan.

    The question marks would be over the three Poles. 

    You wouldn't, you're a Lynn fan aren't you :D Should be a good season for KL next year but I'm sure Birmingham will have a stronger line-up than the has-been poles.

    Ben cook over king? Really?

    he scored 5+3 riding reserve and 5+1, 4+2 riding at 4 and 2 in his Foxhall visits last year and his gsa only 1.05 less than king huge downgrade that for very little gain elsewhere in team building. 

    Yep, he is on the up, knows how to ride inside and outside and pass people, plus team ride - much more engaging to watch.

    More likely now to be down to TV scheduling. If AFCB play on a Saturday 5.30 or Sunday then it would be a Wednesday night match. 

    Barker the only signing for Plymouth so far. Hearing Continental riders of middle order not interested in the U.K. due to Brexit, distance and little value.

    Good, will force them to look closer to home to entice and build our pool of riders

    If people want Peterborough speedway to survive then the only place to be is at the protest not the speedway show.

    A high turn out with plenty of noise is vital, a poor turn out & that plays right into the developers hands.

    Good luck to all involved 

     I agree but when you say people, there are many people who want it to survive but who aren't based near Peterborough but who might be going to the show - it's not that far away so was simply flagging, as there could have been/could still be some linkage to maximise impact for the benefit of Peterborough.
