Col 854 Posted September 2, 2022 So it's the final league match of the campaign at the NSS on Monday (boy, that went quick) and the Tigers from across the Pennines are the visitors. Both league A matches were humbling experiences for the visiting team on each occasion, but most visitors to the NSS have been humbled since Sheffield last visited with the exception of Wolverhampton this week. According to the GSA's on the BSPA site, issued 26.08 Zagar remains at #1 for the Aces but are they now out of date? Looking at http://speedway-stats.co.uk/ Fricke is highest in the averages for the Aces and Musielak is highest in the averages for the Tigers. Etheridge remains at reserve according to both figures. Holder is representing Torun against Lublin in PGE Ekstraliga play offs, while Musielak (Kronso), Kurtz (Łódź), Zagar (Bydgoszcz) & Fricke (Zielona Góra) are all involved in eWinner 1. Liga playoffs. Ellis is also expected to be at Łódź for third (& final) round of the SEC but guessing there maybe a late fitness test. KOC Championship fixtures this evening Redcar Bears v Edinburgh Monarchs and Scunthorpe Scorpions v Leicester Lions so I believe Kerr & Mountain as well as Wright will be on duty? Can't think any other riders involved in this "Wars of the Roses" will be involved in Championship action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those GSA are correct are you looking at the green column labelled eff 1/9 which shows Zagar 8.29 and Fricke 8.40 so Fricke is at number 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col 854 Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) Oh I see, it's column C in the table. So Fricke & Musielak will be at #1 Monday, wonder if Kurtz stays in the engine room with Wright with Zagar at #5 or revert to the start of league campaign line-up. Holder's average lower then Ellis so if it is R/R for Ellis all Tigers can take a ride. Holder uninjured as Torun beat Lublin 50-40 last night.

They will be best getting klindt In as a guest. will ellis be riding after riding in SEC weather looks good for this after early doubts should be another good test for us. That wolves result is what we needed so we don’t get to complacent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col 854 Posted September 4, 2022 According to Sportowefakty Musielak is due to appear at Rzeszow tomorrow so he'll be missing. Witches will be gifted some points at the EoESg you'd imagine. Masters average is too high but Stars & Wolves are the riders available. Much rather Pickering or Becker guested than Klindt from an entertainment POV. But I've never witnessed Klindt at the NSS.

ipswichwitches 16 Posted September 4, 2022 Is this an original fixture or a rearranged one? I thought UK had Monday and Thursday as protected race nights, as defined by the ISLB, so other countries cannot call on riders scheduled to ride here. If that still stands and it's an original fixture, Poland should not have first call on Musielak. Happy to be corrected! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col 854 Posted September 4, 2022 No Belle Vue home fixtures have been rearranged so it is the original staging. No idea on Polish fixture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
