Way too high an average. Kyle is 8.41, 8.29 from 1st August, Nicolai 8.73, up to 8.81 on 1st. If Friday isn't rained off, could use Nicolai as a guest as there's a 5% uplift on averages for home meetings but not in August

If they were to bring in Craig then Glasgow would need to be declared by Friday as 1st August Kyle's average drops below Craig's

Klindt?

Is it a seven or a twenty eight day ban he gets...? It does show how fragile everything is when an experienced DU rider steps away from the sport given two teams now have the difficulty of finding replacements of a "decent" level... Best Wishes to the lad, one of those 100% "triers" who keep you watching the sport...

Sad news about Kyle taking a break from the Sport. Still advantage to the Lions but the pressure on Kemp is massive now.

Just shows how much riders care about the cups when a rider stands down with immediate effect and will miss the 2nd leg. Howarth will be missed for sure.

I’m iainb, and so’s my wife!

TNT have correct time on the Saturday - TNT Sports 2 at 4.45pm UK time

Andy Phillips?

He has said that he has not enjoyed his racing for a while and is stepping away with immediate effect to spend more time with his family. A sad loss to the sport in this country and I am sure many on this forum wish him well in whatever he decides to do.

Loved watching Justin Elkins as the Knights' mascot around Elfield Park! I wish we still had second-half junior racing. Just my opinion, but I think you can probably trace the decline of British speedway talent to the switch to a third division. A connection with clubs was lost that seemed vital for development.

Oh dear, slickfest here we come😁

Yeah Jonas fits, I think he would be a good signing for Leicester.

Do you have a link for above? Cheers

And all promoters know they will need to use all the "ahhh but what if?', regulations put together, up to, and including, "in the interests of Speedway" at some stage of the season... There will be over 200 guests used this season in tiers one and two, with a large percentage down to fixture clashes, and "illness", and not injuries... A truly incredible way to run what is supposed to be considered (by themselves at least), a professional team sport... Edit. As an ironic footnote to this, I have just read a Speedway Star from a few weeks ago and in the "10 years ago" section if quotes Matt Ford as saying.. "Its only a matter of time when" (a squad system should be introduced), to avoid meetings packed with guests.. "The one absolute certainty I can give you is that it is going to happen, its just when people finally don't feel frightened by it, for want of a better word, and understand how it would work".. "We are limiting and strangling ourselves by sticking to the old format of using the same seven men, it can't continue".. "At no point has it ever been as bad as it is now, and at no point have people being talking so negatively about the sport, the biggest reason for that is the lack of fixtures and continuity"... Remember this was TEN YEARS AGO!... It could have been written today...

If Jonas fits he would be a good replacement. I’m still surprised he hasn’t had a permanent premiership place this season. He is fast and knows how to overtake. I really enjoyed watching him at Berwick last year. And he has been doing very well as a comet this year.

with the lovely beautiful weather we are having....will be very disappointed if we don't see dust before heat five and the Dorset blue line around heat eleven.

Money and injuries maybe has come into this decision for Kyle. All the best to him. Limited options for Leicester now. Jonas Jeppesen?

Stranger things have happened at sea

You could be right there @Fromafar as the above post shows not even sponsors care about the state british speedway is in 🙈😔

I predict a rain off

No doubt BSN will be on the investigative hunt this evening?!🤣

Only this season though.

Adam Ellis?
