As SharpenRake said the speedway star calculation does not include the scottish cup so therefore only 3 home meetings, as Flint got one of his lower scores against Poole then not including the scottish cup meeting must put his home average up.

He rode well but it was a good team performance, there must be ndl riders who would beat Killeen and Cook.

Be a sad day when bomber retires.

Yes I agree it is a shame and personally I would rather be in the top division.

All down to economics I would say. The top league doesnt increase gate receipts much if at all and the prices may put off some. Personally I would love to see Poole back in the top league but I just cant see it happening.

I would say Joe T rode as well as expected, past performances he had similar scores. Danny was terrific, always liked him and I would have him back in a heartbeat.

The problem is there is no economic sense to ride at the higher level.

Middlo maybe thought Tobias deserved it but it should have been Kerr who rode well tonight.

I don't know where you get that from, we like close exciting meetings, it is disappointing to not see Edwards ride, he is a up and coming rider with a good future in the sport and talks very intelligently on tv.

I would be disappointed to have JT for Edwards, he is nowhere near as good and not the best option either, Barker has scored better and always seems to revel in winning races against Poole so he would be my pick. Redcar are unfortunate as it looks like Edwards maybe missing for a while and Birmingham have already replaced him with Hagon which weakens Birmingham too.

Yes maybe r/r would work at home possibly but I still doubt it would be the best option considering the reserves Redcar have, it has to be a guest maybe Barker would be the best option.

Strange choice then.

I thought Mountain was meant top be rubbish at Ipswich.

He seems a good rider so may be worth a go but is he as good as Edwards? They will need a guest though a rider replacement leaves them very weak and there do seem to be a few options.

Different league but Rowe rode for Leicester and Kerr is usually good there but riding second string in the premiership is tough.

Well spotted!

Kvech took him out as was shown on BSN. Can't imagine he would be fit for tonight.

Anders wasn't great either.

Lambert is the same, not ridden here in years unless there is a quick buck to be made in the play offs.

I doubt it but may have been closer.

No they would not, we dont boo our own riders.

With his injuries highly unlikely. Maybe get a new rider as they have 7.60 to play with I believe, guests or r/r for now but prefer to have a full team myself.

I am sure he would tell him where he is going wrong!

You lost Ben Cook and Boughen hasnt troubled the scorers much, if you could get a good replacement for Ben that would be a big help but one rider having an off night shouldn't matter with the reserve you have.

Maybe, Rob Lyon must have thought he could build it like Peterborough but it hasnt worked because there are better riders here now, Harris has been good but he isnt Emil or Kurtz. You will always have a strong reserve but you need strength at the top too. Oxford seem to be even worse with a similarly built side. Nothing wrong with moaning about your team if you think your riders are not performing to their level.
