As already pointed out, he's at Edinburgh with Berwick.

Plymouth the only club not in action on Friday.

There will be at least 2! Might be difficult, as Berwick are at Edinburgh on the same night!

Yes. John Ellsbury, but I'm not sure if it's still for Ken Burnett's company T2TV.

He hasn't got British parentage, I don't think. That's why he's on an assessed 4.00 average, rather than a 3.00.

Line-up change for Diamonds. Ricky Wells guests at No 1 for the injured Bradley Wilson-Dean, who aggravated a shoulder injury last night.

As far as I understand it, Congreve is not allowed to ride in the NDL.

And probably go bust? What would that achieve?

A doubt very much if any rider is on a guarantee.

Dogs aren't allowed at Brough for Speedway meetings (at least they weren't) LOL

Just the 31 points to make up for the Diamonds Hopefully it will be a decent meeting and the Diamonds can get out of the gate a wee bit quicker than some have been (this before the Leicester meeting on Sat night) in previous meetings. Probable line-ups: Diamonds: Bradley Wilson-Dean, Matthew Wethers, James Wright, Max Clegg, Paul Starke, Lee Complin, George Congreve. Bears: Charles Wright, Adam Roynon, Lewis Kerr, Kasper Andersen, Erik Riss, Jordan Jenkins, Tom Woolley.

A bit late for the Redcar v Newcastle Tyne Tees Trophy match.

The idea was that many of the riders had ridden for, or had a connection, with Stoke, as a memory to Dave Tattum. The side had riders who are pretty useful around Brough, so the averages are pretty obsolete, IMO.

James could have gone in ht 15 had Paul not been disqualified. But, because Starkey had been DQ'd, a reserve had to come in.

Could be wrong, but I believe so.

Yes.

The only way round it, as far as I can see, is start earlier than 4pm, to avoid the dark. As to "why?" you better ask ARC to answer that one.

As erniew says, it's no joke. I was informed a few weeks ago that this was the case and I didn't believe it at first either, until it was confirmed at P&P.

That's correct.

4pm start as far as I know.

Facebook Page says "We will be looking to re-arrange this for the 3rd time later in the season and will keep you all updated."

Weather forecast looking OK for Sunday's opening meeting. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcybsr236#?date=2022-04-03

Weather forecast looking OK for Sunday's opening meeting.

I doubt he will say "I've lost interest in the sport," or "I don't love the sport like I used to," or something similar. He's got to appear positive, otherwise the fans would certainly get 'on his back.'

Please explain how am I "talking tripe" ?
