Wrong I am afraid. From the SON regulations, notice the emphasis on Team and not rider - The winning team of the Grand Final heat will become 2021 SoN champions. The losing team of the Grand Final heat will become 2021 SoN Runner up. The losing team of the Grand Final Qualifier heat will become 2021 SoN Third Place. The only time head to head comes into the equation is prior to Heats 43 and 44

Good meeting tonight. Being a Pirates fan now living in Nottingham it's only a 40 minute drive so was not going to miss this. Enjoyed seeing Basso for the first time - quite a distant last in his first ride but obviously sized the track up after his first outing and was quick thereafter. Certainly not a dull rider but could do with reigning it in a bit as proven in heat 10 when he took out Zaine Kennedy. Stevie W and Rooboy were quick and Poole's top scorers but the rider who impressed me the most was Danyon Hume. Stand up and take a bow young man. A Rising Star riding at number 2 and he was simply superb - definitely the rider of the night for me

From the BSPA website. Read it as Poole cannot pick Glasgow - PLAY-OFF PICTURE - HOW IT WORKS- The quarter-finals will consist of the 3rd v 6th placed team and 4th v 5th placed team, the top two teams will go direct to the semi-final.- The team who finishes top will have the pick of the quarter-final winners in the semi-finals.- All ties are over two legs.

Very sad news. Just announced that Mike Hendrick has passed away. A big favourite of mine from the 70s and 80s. RIP Mike

How much were your tickets CrystalCastles? Just interested as I attended the double header at Trent Bridge on Saturday and it only cost me £14. I'd call that great VFM.

I was at the double header today at Trent Bridge. £14 for two matches with some decent cricket, resident DJ and live music throughout the day - there was a similarity with the speedway as the sound system in the Yu Energy Stand wasn't great At least it meant that I didn't hear too much of the modern day "music"! Certainly good VFM.

The next two episodes are on BBC iPlayer. Both well worth a watch. Better late than never but a big thanks to LS for setting up the competition again. Here's to next year

Can I use a double points Joker?? Mark Selby v Shaun Murphy
