Jake Knight ? Nothing on the Leicester Web. If so who does he replace? But i cannot imagine it.

I had Bradley Wilson Dean in mind he is over here without a club and his Last CL average with Peterborough fits. Very popular here and rides all tracks not just Arlington. I saw he dropped out of the GP Qualifiers after breaking the tapes in heat 1 so if he is short of equipment Martin would soon sort him out.

Eddie Kennett moves off of No 1 so Tom has to go to 4 in order to cover for him, how embarrasing is that? If he cannot get his mojo back in the next couple of weeks he should be replaced whilst he still has some sort of average. Loyalty has been an Eagles strong point but enough is enough and without a change this could be another season write off which would be a shame given the way the others have stepped up to the plate despite some cruel luck so far this year.

Think that's put the Ki-Bash on that, Now an away win.

Wish I was that confident but I rate their 3 heat leaders the best in the CL at Arlington although it is Sam Masters first visit he is probably the best rider in the CL at present. Everything may depend on which Eddie Kennett turns up. Barring accidents it should be knife edge stuff so I will go for a draw 45-45 with a particularly good 'racing' meeting.

Well another reason I would have changed order is that 3 and 4 are partners for three races which means the only time Newman can get his r/r in is heat 14 and I really don't fancy Newman and Edwards against Josh Pickering. As regards Heat 1 I would use Newman there. It is up to Kennett as No 1 to do his job and Newman should handle Greaves. You have not got to win the match in heat one and it gets rid of one of your weaker r/r's whilst the opposition are working out the track. Fun to be a team manger don't you think?

Surely not if they change riding order with Kerr at 2. The r/r is for rider not team positioin. Or am I missing something?

I see Scottie had 7 rides with 2 Tac Subs I thought you could only have 1 Sub per rider?

My reasoning is keep Brennan out of heat 8 where he could be wasted and have that as Newman's r/r, He can handle that OK. It also makes Brennan the third heat leader which he certainly is and gives us a final push if we need it in heat 14.

Feel sad for Tom and Drew their development over the last two years has really been hampered by things beyond their control yet still they have come on hand over fist. Fortunate however for the Eagles as there really did not seem any way they could be compensated for with the loss of Lewi as well. Would still like to see Steve Worrell as a guest but suspect now that they will go r/r giving Lawson and Brennan an extra ride along with Newman and Kemp. They could then move Brennan to No 4 and Kerr r/r No2. The Monarchs have a great top 3 particularly as Pickering seems to love Arlington but it could be a very difficult night for their bottom 4

A bit harsh, where do you get your information from ? There are only 3 League Matches on a Sunday Glasgow, Berwick and Kent and the Glasgow one is at 5.0 There are some open meetings GB, Youth etc which are not usually included in a season ticket. There are also some reserved dates at end of season when it is uncertain who when and if required for the Play Offs. That is all in the last programme unless there has been a change in the last few days which I very much doubt. The new management team are doing a great job of re vitalising the club and deserve all our support.

Interesting conclusion but over the Tannoy Jake said he was giving it a good go this year to get into the Championship and that he was a self employed builder so he could ride when he wanted to. Or words to that effect.

Another blow with Lewy Kerr, Tom Brennan & Drew Kemp all out of this one. Now it is a real Banana Skin Am I right that a guest gets an additional 5% when replacing a home rider? If so then Steve Worrell looks the perfect guest for Kerr, if not then Paul Starke looks the only alternative after yesterdays meeting as there are so many Championship matches that day. Brennan is virtually irreplaceable at the moment so probably have to go r/r. Having seen Jake Knight with a No 8 on his back in the parade yesterday and then doing some laps I would imagine he is going to replace Kemp. If he is elligable why did they not use him at Scunthorpe it would have meant the difference between winning and losing I have no doubt.?.

Broc Nicol is first class round Arlington and makes the match much more interesting. At least he is not reserve this time.

On paper looks like an Eagles 4 match points tally. With all of them in form and Brennan looking like a 4th Heat Leader it will be a monumental task for the Scorpions particularly if Kennett has solved his mechanical problems. Delighted to see they are replacing Kemp with Nathan Ablitt. Another very promising lad who no doubt will be over the moon riding in the CL and probably again on Sunday..
