Were looking forward to this one. A weeks holiday (great weather, so stay in the UK ), travel down to the South Coast with a chance to catch up with the Lions for the 1st time this season followed by a trip to the I.O.W. on Thursday. Both new tracks for us.

Due to the great weather we are having at the moment we've decided to holiday at home , head south and have a few days in Bournemouth this week. Poole on Wednesday and the I.O.W. on Thursday , both 1st time visits so we're looking forward to visiting both tracks.

And who or what are the Stars allowed to use as a replacement should he not make the meeting ?

Simple solution . Any rider with an average of 8.00 or above is classed as 8.00 in the averages. Problem solved. You can replace a No 1 without having to disrupt the rest of the team.

I may be wrong but i presume the reason for replacing Toft is due to his average being too high with Bjerre as Vaculiks replacement ? If so its another situation where Speedway shoots itself in the foot. Surely some allowance should be given in certain circumstances where teams lose riders through injury that they do not have to disrupt the rest of the team just to bring in a replacement

Nothing wrong with Finn Jensen

Does anyone know what became of the junior rider Ryan Goodger. Was friends with his parents but lost touch with them a few years ago and at the time I seem to remember he was a very promising rider but I've heard nothing about him in recent years.

Really find it difficult to believe the number of people who continue to deny that major changes need to be made to the track at BP. As a regular visitor for the début season of the sport back in the City I tended to ignore what now seems blatantly obvious , the track is just not conducive to good ,close and entertaining racing. Over the seasons we've been back my visits have drastically declined attending only once this season and twice last year and in those 3 meetings there was not one genuine pass in any of the 45 heats. With not living locally its just not worth the time and expense to attend for entertainment on offer.
