I think I know who you are on about. It was a few years after I packed it in. Without naming he's the chap who runs the British development. He has no time for the MDL probably because it treads on his toes and I remember the people who now run the MDL had to really fight to keep it going. The ineligible rider thing was stupid. It was put in place when riders who had raced in over 50 NL league meetings automatically became ineligible to rider MDL. However there was a loophole that allowed them to ride but there points would not count to the overall score. However it was a useful tool at times when there were rider shortages and also when it come to putting a minimum side of three together. As I said it was stupid looking back and I put my hand up to that but in some exceptional circumstances necessary. You are correct in saying the MDL were a friendly bunch. They genuinely were but 5% should never have been allowed to have been involved with it. They cared more about personal ego's and trophy's over rider development and sadly they ruined it for the others who ran the genuine ghost/legacy teams.

Will there be an app for a firestick announced soon?

Poole knocked Scunthorpe out of the KOC already.

A lot of pressure on the reserves. A successful team needs riders to improve their averages. Chris and Kyle are unlikely to but Leon certainly will converting BPs for finishing behind Dan T into actuals. KJP looks likely too but will run up BPs - 5+3 is a good score but it's still only 5 points. Mario is likely to be a project, so we really need Freddy and Sam to score well and Cami needs to be decisive in splitting their rides into five and three when necessary.

Look he’s on his way

vs Poole or Scunthorpe in the KOC, maybe if that meeting cannot go ahead then it could be the meeting vs Berwick which was due to take place last week. Best Guess

If he comes in by boat won't need one 😜

Buxton have now released an official statement. Connor Coles was airlifted to hospital after extensive medical treatment at the track. This involved medics administering pain relief before placing him into a medically induced coma due to a head injury. He has been slowly making slight improvements but the current state of his brain injury is unknown. Let's keep Connor in our thoughts and pray for a full recovery. 🙏

12 points makes the bonus point interesting, but would be more interesting if the tac sub hadn’t interfered! Especially if at some point you’re 6 behind at Foxhall and get a second one! Takes the biscuit 2 extra rides for either Brady or Dan over the aggregate!

Great, thanks, I'll find it on the map

we always park at build base (kitchen and bathroom place) as you turn off the traffic lights to go to unipart opposite the old shut down pub

Didn’t know Flint and Hausl were missing this weekend. Nightmare, especially Flint from a form perspective, but even Hausl in terms of getting track time. Hopefully those qualifiers are on a familiar track and a confidence boost for him, but missing an opportunity to gain exposure on another UK track isn’t ideal. Big meeting for Hagon and Hodder, I think. A disappointing night at Berwick on Saturday, so time for redemption.

Will he get a visa?

Brady’s performance on Monday really highlighted the big miss he was in our KO Cup campaign. These things happen but it would be easier to take if we had missed out as a full team rather than the usual, it is what it is. 12 points makes the bonus point interesting. I’m expecting things to get back to normal for us down at Foxhall after the witches fabulous championship season. Prior to that barnstorming year, Foxhall was our happiest of hunting grounds with The Aces going well there. The last ten fixtures at Foxhall prior to the witches title winning year were DLLLWWWLLW with one of those losses being a last heat decider. 50% success rate for the witches, so I’m hoping we get back to winning ways down there again.

1. Nathan Ablitt - (Middlesbrough) - 8.33 2. Ryan Ingram (Leicester) - 5.18 3. Dayle Wood (Edinburgh) - 8.00 4. Harry Sadler (Middlesbrough) - 2.00 5. Jake Mulford (Kings Lynn) - 8.74 6. Seth Norman (Leicester) - 2.00 7. Ben Whalley - (Edinburgh) - 2.00 Total - 36.25

Hi guys, My son and I are making the trip to Sandy Lane tonight (Plymouth fans, sorry), with the car parking situation highlighted above, can anyone point me in the direction of an alternative place to park please? Thanks so much in advance.

Morris is a good choice of guest for Leon on Friday and possibly Jason Edwards for the away leg. However cover for Mario seems more problematic. Have we really listed KJP as the higher of our two 5.00 riders? It's a very poor call if we have, meaning the RR rides are taken by KJP with the reserves sharing the other three. Guests are very limited as there are surprisingly few in the 4+ category particularly on Friday when Redcar (Pijper, Mulford and Scott) are already riding, leaving Simon Lambert and Kyle Newman as options, not great.

This is the main situation, there are so many TVs, software versions and other hardware it is impossible to say it will work on this tv or that tv. Many TV browsers cannot handle modern websites, the BSN website being built for the future is using the latest tech. Some TV browsers may work, in which case happy days, but if not casting or connecting from a laptop or phone is the best way, until the new apps arrive hopefully very soon. On some other devices clearing your memory cache can help too, as basically they’re running out of memory. The stream itself on Monday broadcasted out fine so far as I know though.

Ben Barker posted on Facebook yesterday evening that he still hasn’t heard from Rob Godfrey and if he doesn’t hear back in the next few days he will be whistleblowing and lifting the lid on other issues.

Why ? Him and Leon Flint are still relative youngsters both ride in Poland.- suppose Kemp might also be in that category. Edit just read that Dan Thompson is the other reserve- also rides in Poland.

Clearly haven't planned the fixtures very well, which is ridiculous when you realise how few matches they race these days.

Dan Gilkes is having a ride at Leicester in the next couple of days to see how progress is going with his knee injury and whether it’s strong enough to return to racing

What fixture is on May 6th as it says Oxford vs Poole but Poole are at home to Redcar?

Not too sure, a Facebook comment came from Andy Harrison, probably Luke's dad 😄
