Well done to Scunny. They were just two good for us tonight. Echo what @Pirates Of Poole said, track is same for everyone, so no excuses there plus they just gated a lot better than us. Shame we couldn't hold on to the six point lead we built up but that is the way it goes sometimes. The super heat made for an exciting end to the meeting. Think Dougy tried to slow it down way too late. Although it isn't out of the question for us to win at Scunny. We will just have to completely go for it now and see what happens. But can't win it every year.... ... unfortunately!!

I was thinking more of 'we decided to scrap the playoffs and first place wins the league..'

Listening to the podcast today, I sure I heard Pete Adams say Dougy was suffering from burnout. Is one day rest enough? Might well be, find out soon!

It does say on twitter that they are making an interesting announcement before H1... https://x.com/SpeedwayHumans/status/1702010813924458989?s=20

Not sure about easily. They scored 41 points last time and that was before they signed Kemp. Although we didn't have Lawson riding and Sedge only got 7. Can see a similar scoreline. 12 would be ideal though.

Didn't King ride for Sheffield when they were Champ though, so should do well there. Think they were both coming back til points limit got lowered. Anyway according to Poole twitter we are full strength so looks like Zach is riding.

He's behind you! Sorry I thought it was a pantomime for a minute there

I meant struggling with his injury from the Edinburgh meeting. As what Skidder eluded to. Just don't want him pulling out after one ride and then we can only use reserves, if we use RR we can have Ben and Anders too. Depends how bad his arm is I suppose. They may have just got him to test it last night as Peterborough Vs Wolves had nothing riding on it.

Might be worth doing RR for Zach if he is struggling. @noaksey said he was off the pace last night and I think at home Ben, Anders, Kyle and Joe would be okay to cover.

It is quite funny that they have to study their own rules

Yes!! That rings a bell. Wasn't Richard Hall the hero for Peterborough.

If their converted average fits then don't see why they couldn't be used.

Don't you go bringing us into it!! Plus we have had similar when we had Lindback on a 4, way back in 2004 I believe as he didn't do enough meetings in 2003 to get an average.

Has he said anything yet?

Looks like Richie won't be guesting for anyone then. Hope Edinburgh didn't wait around for him and already have someone else lined up.

Catch 22 I guess. Vote against it and you might need the rule later in the season You do realise if Glasgow win the league, we will have months of 'debating' his average or what it should be. So for everyone's sanity better hope Oxford or Poole win

Depends if you are including BSN series or not. If you are Redcar scored 42 in that but only 38 more recently in the league. Scunny scored 41.

https://twitter.com/watchspeedway/status/1700953570416198093 They are showing Poole Vs Scunny by the look of it.

Everyone gets it... BUT.... You don't get knocked out of the league when you lose agg bonus point and that is the difference they are using when deciding when you can and can't use TS. Think you can blame Peterborough for that one. As when they used one at home and one away in a playoff final (maybe have been more than that depends on the rules at the time) and Reading didn't get a chance to use any and ultimately cost them the league title is the reason why no TS in knock out 2 legs imo.

Okay, thanks. There is also another line up where it has r/r for Adam and guest at 2 at Kent for the Edinburgh team.

See the updates have Adam Roynon down as riding in the NL today. What does that mean for Poole? Hope we are keeping Joe T til at least the end of the season.
