Average reflects what I consider a poor season considering he started as second heat leader. Middle order rider maybe?

Well, the last time I looked you could still see the outline of the High Beech track, so maybe. Mind you, I think you may have to chop down a few trees first....

That’s incorrect Glasgow can still use Kyle’s full average (+5% at home) both Anders Rowe and Jason Edwards average is above 75% of Kyle’s. The 28 day facility runs till later this week and I would imagine an extension will be applied for and granted under rule 10.5 K ‘retiring during the current season a facility will be granted for a period of 28 days. After which the team must re-apply for a further facility to the SCB Co-Ordinator outlining the steps they have takento find a replacement. An extension may be granted. In these circumstances a rider cannot return to ride for any club within 28 days, effective from the date of notification to the SCB

9.2 with bonus points... With age comes experience.....

Plymouth have no fixtures in September, absolute madness being so late. British speedway is a joke tbh

Victor looking very employable next season!

Thought you had your finger on the pulse.

The positive social aspect of how the sport was, shouldn't ever be understated... Even into the mid 90's the BV riders would be in the bar having a drink and signing autographs with the many fans who stayed to have a beer... Supporters Clubs across the country arranged away meetings coaches and held regular social events through the season... The operating model was always "a bit Mickey Mouse" (but obviously nothing like today's Guestfest version), however, the social aspect of the sport kept people engaged and invested in the teams, so therefore they attended regularly... Teams who were, most weeks, your own riders, or riders doubling up who had been loaned out by your team to a Div 2 track for their development... Nowadays it looks like Teams are put together the night before, with anyone and everyone in the frame to ride for your club on a adhoc, horses for courses, basis.. And, some riders will leave the stadium almost before Heat 15 has started if they have a very early flight the next morning from an airport miles away from the track they have raced on... The whole thing needs urgent review and a complete overhaul and reset... Start UK Speedway again...

He should not be at 2 especially at home.

After tonight he hasn't scored a point for 12 heats and looks completely at sea. I don't see him turning it around anytime soon unfortunately. Its all gone wrong for him at the wrong time of the season for us.

Troy was a great guest and very unlucky to get excluded in heat 15, he did a very minor twitch which 9 times out of ten most riders would get away with.

Good job the track is not in Saltash ffs

Interesting that Lawson has probably dropped the most points off his average than any other Poole rider this season. Thinking about it most if not all of the others have upped theirs.He started on 9.58, and has so far averaged just 8.10 so far this season. Could be he is around 40 now though, and on the slide.

Best Post I've read today. 👍

10th of October for second leg. Whats wrong with september?

So we have the first leg of koc at home. Disappointed is an understatement.

Cos he is or was a major sponsor. So you can't sack a man who puts ££s into the club

Bomber is a hard charger we all no that brilliant to watch still but as Plymouth is such a small track to me I think he was a bit to over zealous and tried to put him in the fence, I imagine the fine was for what happened after the race when Ben b went to say something and bomber turned the bike deliberately into barker and knocked him to the ground, bit of handbags really , the worrying think for me and I never thought I’d say this as for most of the season he has been brilliant is Danny kings form, not putting him in heat 15 , or the super heat. Troy batchelor though was so good a brilliant guest.

Jason Edwards did score 11+2 on hid last visit to Plymouth, so don't think you can blame Glasgow for selecting him as a guest. All the guests will be weaker as Glasgow can only pick riders up to 75% of Howarth's average. I was surprised Glasgow didn't find anyone, along with Poole, think there a club that would find a rabit out of a hat?

Just checked 10 days ago

Other than Leicester then and obviously Ipswich, the others have at least two riders who don’t race in the championship and therefore only at an higher level. If Lawson races against these two riders in separate races , that’s half his programmed rides for the meeting against higher than championship opposition. That’s all I’m trying to say . Big fish in a small pond in the championship.

Then get jobs with a new club and can win manager of the year 🤨

That's the downside of having a stronger rider (especially at home) at number 2. Joe's last programmed ride in heat 10, so track can change a lot before heat 15, although he was then used in heat 16. I would have Klima at 2, Joe at 3 or 4, if only at home?
