Workington rugby kick off at 1pm, maybe giving fans the chance to walk the short distance after the rugby has finished to the track?

Yes, but what happened to Clouting? I'm quite sure this what TWBW was asking?

But, if they did that, then that would rule out anyone switching from grasstrack or moto X who are over 21 but just starting out on the shale.

Perhaps it's the beginning of the SCB & BSPL being more open/public?? Who knows?

Better ask the SCB that one. It was them who said it on their website that there was to be an investigation into the refereeing decisions that night and, after the hearing into those investigations and it was on the BSPL website when the line-ups were announced, who the referee was.

The (unnamed) ref was Dave Watters: https://britishspeedway.co.uk/miscellaneous/scb-statement-leicester-v-kings-lynn-2/

Well, a referee was given a suspension after a Premiership match a few weeks ago, so draw your own conclusions from that.

Let's hope your guess is wrong.

Oh well, that's OK then....

Can you explain this please? 2 wins and 2 thirds = 8pts (not consistent) - but 7,8 or 9 points is consistent....

Perhaps I should have put the after it, but at least Crescent "Girl" saw that it was meant in partial jest.

Why just the surname of the Edinburgh number five???

Why is it "crazy"? It's a (pretty large) part of what went on on Saturday night. It's a bit like, if the BSF was thing then, going back to the 90's, talking about the Berwick vs Belle Vue meeting (the one where the Aces failed to show up at Berrington Lough) and just saying that Berwick tracked 2 riders and rode around until they couldn't be caught scorewise! You can't just ignore it.

That's all well and good, but if one of the 1-5 are excluded (sorry, disqualified) for a tapes offence or for failing the two minutes, they have to go off 15metres, otherwise you would still have at least one more race with only three riders in it, as the other reserve would have to have his own 4 programmed rides and has to cover the banned reserves other 3 rides, so couldn't replace the disqualified rider. And God forbid if the other reserve got injured in heat 2 and had to withdraw from the meeting.

You are correct. I got a little confused. BUT..... "Benzoylecgonine can be found in medical products as a topical muscle relaxer, anesthetic or to relieve muscle pain." Taken from https://drugs.ncats.io/drug/5353I8I6YS

Yes, but the other drug found in his system was Benzoylecgonine, which, when taken, produces it's own cocaine through the body. So it does not necessarily follow that Richie took cocaine on it's own.

When did Newcastle "drop" Connor Mountain? He rode throughout the whole of the 2021 season and was given a starting place at his own club the following year, which ruled him out of the Diamonds team. Joe Alcock rode in the first 3 matches and was replaced by Jack Parkinson-Blackburn, who lasted 4 matches and he was then replaced by Archie.

I agree, but who would pay for it? Almost certainly the fans with an extra increase of the admission charge.

I think the cost of that would be prohibitive, though.

It hasn't been cancelled though, it has been postponed.

Would the League fixture not take priority?

Let's hope (IF it's off), it's postponed, rather than cancelled......

Some on here have been saying for quite a while now that Promoters should be Promoting the sport. Workington bring in a female rider and are accused of it being a PR stunt. They just can't win, can they?

That can be said for quite a few riders, though.
