that poster has a very odd vendetta against Lambert (and others) for some reason. 

i dont think theyve counted Killen at all, there is no guarantee theyre going with a 3 rider. Basically they have 10.80 left for two riders.  although it probably will be Pickering and Etheridge (someone else)

It was probably easier to negotiate with Germany than the current bspl 

I was watching an episode of ‘World at war’ and up popped Lord Shawcross - he spoke about how the allies were going to deal with Germany at the end of the war. I guess his historic involvement as an independent arbitrator in bringing together the National and Provincial leagues to form the British league in 1965 must have been like a walk in the park! 

Sounds like you've counted Killeen as a 3.00, but he's the rising star.   The 37 point average is only for the top 6 riders.  Killeen doesn't count. The 6th rider (Etheridge or other) has to have a minimum of 3.00.   And there's a maximum of 7.80 left for the remaining rider, which is enough for Pickering's 7.76  

Great choice.  Sharp gater and a big track rider.
