55pts in 2 meetings last season

Who do you think it should have been then? Starke was available to ride to make up the numbers, could have had Luke harrison but he was at Oxford tonight.

They both had to take their minimum  3 programmed rides  and  McDiarmid  but Killeen  had really only beaten the Glasgow reserves and Harrison so would have struggled in ht 15 off gate 4 which was a grave yard all evening against Harris and Howarth 

15 development league riders rode in this meeting. Starke stopping a 16th rider getting a ride, isn't really gonna hurt youth development in Britain. Starke riding also give riders looking for a Champ spot someone to try & beat to prove they are ready for the step up. If any rider beat him they'd maybe get a foot in the door & be in line for guest bookings / Champ team spots.

At Ipswich? That’s not something we generally do in my experience.

There have been plenty of postponements over the last few seasons due to weather forecasts the day before a meeting.
