You kinda need Lawson don't you! He loves the pressure heats when you need a 5-1 to win. Steve is opposite, the less pressure the better. (This is going by what they say in streaming and press conference interviews in the past).

You mean the cup in 2003 where if you were in the top league you put out a Champ level team? I can't remember what that was called either lol. Wasn't that what we first bought Lindback over for, half way through the season? Anyway... Craig Cook is always good at Poole whatever is happening. Same with Batch most of the time. I would be surprised if either of them got below 11. Be interesting to see how Tate does and how many secrets about the track Darcy has told him!! Sure he has mentioned the cutback on bends 1 and 2 if you don't make the gate. Vissing you would expect to be good for 6-8 points. The others is anyone's guess, depends how quickly they get the set up right and if they like the track I suppose. These next two home meetings a massive banana skins, be interesting to see how it pans out. Edit - prediction 48-42.

Maybe other teams aren't willing to go there then because of potential Polish fixtures? Berwick seemed to have a big gap in home fixtures last season too.

Bet Redcar hope you do.

Yeah, not got a problem with changing the points allocated.

Maybe. Would like to think he would have cleared it anyway.

I wonder if that started when he rode for KL?

Why? It's exactly the same as the league. Seems to me people are liking this to KO cup when it's supposed to more like league format.

Berwick would go out anyway as soon as Edinburgh or Glasgow got BP.

I don't get the issue. It is in a table format like the league. So if you have them in the league then you have to have them in this.

I was quite surprised by the article and wasn't particularly concerned about anyone's form. But after reading it you think why are they bringing this up? Am I supposed to be worried? I think if there are any team changes it will be Glasgow or Redcar rather than us.

Looks like Scunny have best 2nd place. In Scottish and Southern it is all on who gets BP!

To me looking in as a neutral (some extended family are from Middlesbrough that's why I look in to see how Redcar are doing!). Two problems imo. Knudsen not doing as well as expected is pushing Connor into 3rd HL position when really another season as a SS with less pressure would have helped, as TJ would have held third HL position well imo. The other thing is if Redcar had a more experienced reserve like Berwick do with Borke then you prob could get away with things a bit more and instead of losing by 4 or 6, you would be winning by 4 or 6.

Because it is a mini league, so same rules as normal league meetings, hence superheat as someone has to win on the night. Although technically no one lost!

I would have though both Cook's would get a free pass when it comes to any team changes like Brady Kurtz used to

Remember listening to the podcast a couple of weeks ago and Klindt said about the difficulties of bike set ups in cold weather and said Steve Worrall said he has the same problem. Interesting that he decided to ride in Scotland! But I'm guessing it is even warm up there today!!

https://x.com/BmthEchoSport/status/1788894253965275531 Can't say I am too worried. We have only done 5 meetings and I just assumed he wasn't 100% fit yet when we were at Oxford.

https://x.com/SpeedwayGB/status/1788484251995853167 Surprised Sam didn't block that move at the end tbh. Tom was trying to do it every lap.

He said on the podcast it depends who is asking. Redcar would be harder to fit in than Oxford (unless he is doing Denmark) I would imagine.

Really? The other groups are pretty tight, I thought one of those would have best second place. Edit - ah yes you are right, others can only get 5 and Scunny would have more than that.

He's also going to be doing Sweden. Well that's what he said in the winter.

Close one!

You are not allowed to criticise the admission policy. Toady will not like it!

Maths not his strong point then!

Tbf Max James has a point. If he doesn't score the points he could get dropped. So I can understand that one although could have been worded better!
