Klindt at 5 is a strange one, but he is kinda gating well atm 

1-7’s declared below: BELLE VUE: Dan Bewley, Norick Blodorn, Jaimon Lidsey, Zach Cook, Brady Kurtz, Tate Zischke, Jake Mulford. KING’S LYNN: Richard Lawson, Niels-Kristian Iversen, Chris Harris, Ben Cook, Nicolai Klindt, Jan Kvech, Luke Harrison  

You could say the same with the Nora league, it's a training league, it helps tracks stay involved with Speedway, it's giving junior riders more time on the track at a time when the NDL never had fewer fixtures (last season), yet the BSPL / SCB, do their best to stop these events happening, try to ban riders who compete.

I expect the Aces to have a full 1 to 7 and I expect the Stars team to be something like… 1 Lawson 2 B Cook 3 Klindt 4 Harris 5 Iversen 6 Rowe/Kerr (G) 7 Scott/Harrison

Same with Matthew Wethers, loyal to British Speedway for 10+ years, didn't miss matches to ride abroad etc. Average shot up when Newcastle matches were removed, hasn't been signed since, despite apparent lack of riders due to his 6.5 average. If they realise there is a flaw with averages, by all means change the rules for everyone, but can't change the rules just for Boughen.

I think people are just playing silly beggers now - i'd expect Kurtz to be there for sure - however i suspect its better to wait until people don't show, or are confirmed as not riding for whatever reason rather than just (wildly) speculating etc.
