It is hard to believe how naïve so many of the contributors on here are. Opportunities are plentiful, if only you take the time to look. Scunthorpe and Leicester host plentiful practises and training. One of the biggest problems are people stating nothing is available, when it actually is! 

I see Belle Vue, Sheffield & Leicester, all are still to race at Birmingham & Oxford. T Good chance of two extra away wins, maybe Ipswich aren't as guaranteed to finish top as I thought they were? Realistically I can only see Sheffield finishing above Ipswich. But still think Witches are favourites to finish top.

The riding style of today gives little room to pass... They enter turns now pretty much sideways, whereas they used to go into them almost grass track like, with left foot forwards and then hooking the bike up when it hit the dirt... Meaning the rider behind had options... Now there is no dirt so riders can just fly into the dust knowing they won't get fired off anywhere, by hitting any grip... The tyres too are conducive to slick circuits whereas the hard compound ones used years ago were conducive to grippier circuits.. At a track like Sheffield, any rider going in to a bend sideways, and riding a two thirds track, will mean there is very little space outside him to go around, and with no grip on the kerb, it means little opportunity to pass, especially at the speed they go there.. Several tracks have widened their bends to give more entry and exit lines, and give riders behind potential room to go around opponents who have locked up, filling a large portion of the turn... The reality is with the modern riding style, the more circular, wider circuits provide the best racing, and converting a more oval, narrower one, into this design isn't easy... Sheffield actually has the shape, but probably needs at least three metre's taking off the inside given how the air fence has impacted the racing there...

i think at this point youre becoming more of a troll than your idol Shovlar, congratulations. 

Don’t think it makes a difference either way, will be a cheap night for Buster regardless. We’ve done our job with three home wins against the witches this season. Good luck to them in the final

Well I gave up to watch something else after heat 13 - however up until heat 7 I was actually quite enjoying it as I said earlier there was some early heat passing and Oxford were keeping it close.
