Kick off is 10pm

Until this period of 'absence' Lawson was doing exactly as expected a reliable scorer with only three lasts in over 40 rides 

Which is exactly why they should have gone one league this year without the "GP Stars"... they're just not replaceable when they get injured, where as if a Lawson or Bomber got injured it'd be far easier to tempt a Lahti/Bellago level rider over for cover.  Still, they've made their bed and now they have to lie in it. 

Big changes would have had to be made though averages don’t change much during season.’

Good to see a club doing some market research.. I hope they don't prevent Scunthorpe finding a Guest...    

I have been a massive speedway fan for more years than I care to remember and would always defend the sport to the hilt but even I am now starting to have serious doubts.  I subscribe to BSN and watched last night's BV versus Northampton fixture. Ended up watching to heat 10 and then found something else to do as I was literally bored to tears. Yes, the opposition were poor and BV are so good on their own track but as far as entertainment goes I'd give it no more than two out of ten. I also watched the GP at the weekend and found myself running on through each race after a couple of laps and this is something I would definitely not have done a couple of years ago. Anyway, back to our leagues. When I check the BSN schedule I have to confess that I am usually disappointed when the next fixture is a Premiership one. I just find most of them pretty tedious, same teams, same riders and run of the mill affairs. The Championship however, is a different kettle of fish. More teams etc and I just find the whole league more refreshing. Give me Plymouth versus Berwick or Oxford versus Edinburgh any day of the week compared to Sheffield versus Leicester or Kings Lynn versus Northampton.  In summing up I genuinely hope that the BSPL find a way to make one league work next year with a much more varied fixture list. Belle Vue riding at Glasgow, Ipswich riding at Plymouth etc really does whet the appetite. Much better promotion of the sport is required and costs must be kept under control. If this means no more GP riders etc then so be it.
