Next week he’s in the sgp2 meeting

Currently there are 17 teams across the Premier & Championship leagues. This will be reduced to 16 next year with the loss of Birmingham. So on the basis that all other clubs will run next year, for team of five 80 riders will be required Remove doubling up, riders contracted to Ekstraliga and Danish/Swedish nationals with contracts to race in their domestic leagues that clash with UK "race nights" simply means there will be insufficient availability of riders for sixteen teams - not counting loss of riders through injury. Given the above considerations and as well as ensuring "Juniors not good enough" are not unmercifully thrown into the deep end, there would be an available pool of riders next year to make up no more than 10 teams but more likely nine. So rather than just discuss the merits of one league, maybe the discussion should consider which eight or nine team would take part - and what admission price would be considered appropriate.

So what particular mickey mouse meeting god knows where has robbed us of half a team on Saturday?

@arnieg was that you who wrote the World Games piece in the programme? A great read.

AND

Absolutely lovely to see Scott Nicholls back on a bike, and great to see him get such a great reception from both Plymouth and Oxford fans. He got better as the meeting progressed, clearly still knows the fastest way around Sandy Lane.

I was there at Oxford Stadium when that photograph was taken (on the far side of the track). Mike Patrick was obviously a legend at Oxford and in the sport in general.

Looks to me as if Aug 7 is only clash as Solkatterna probably won't make play-offs.

One thing I have just noticed is Poole have completed more matches than any other team so the Fords also seem to be good at getting matches on and out of the way where some teams have raced just over half of the Poole completed fixtures , or is it just being down South they are in a drier part of the country. The issue is again you have weeks in summer with nothing happening at many clubs then a bit of rain and you can see loss making double headers being crammed into back end of September early October.

You seem to have a thing about Kerr (3, 3, 3, 2, 0). Lawson had 3 Ht wins, Cook 1, Rowe 1. No one else won a race. I bet Comets fans would be happy if Batch had 3 gated heat wins.

Zischke didn’t ride for Workington last night( injured)so if it’s him, got to be doubtful?Also why is Mulford not riding?Apparently 4 other riders who are competing in the same event, taking place on Saturday night!! are riding for their clubs at Glasgow on Friday, so why can’t he ride for his Club???He hardly ever rides for Redcar, missing next week as well I believe,how can you have weeks and weeks without a match, then when you do have one,riders are not turning up?

i just dont think plymouth are very good apart from the three heat leaders bottom four are so inconsistent and pants away from home

V good choice

Maybe he's gotten mixed up between Pole and Poole 😂

Bowes has been superb since the break , he has been highly rated for some time so if Worky get him and Tate scoring like this consistently then they have a great core for the rest of the year and hopefully next season too.

Poland win again

Spires have 3 Thursday meetings left ... and 3 Monday meetings. Would imagine Victor would turn up at least as much as Craig ?
