Why is there a preview of the Kings Lynn Peterborough match on the Tigers website?

Would assume Pedersen has higher average than Batchelor.

If we have another three defeats, could be too late. A good replacement for Batchelor now harder to find with his lower average. Now Batchelor signed for Kent, be interesting to note his scores, considering the speculation about him deliberately reducing his average.

Stefan Nielsen replaces James Wright. Two riders have now been dropped by the Tigers. The two, who, in my opinion, have been the biggest disappointment have kept their team place.

And why was the original date, July 23rd changed. Weather ok last week. Now need a third date.

Anyone yet heard any more recent facts, rumours (or even lies) about this. Unlikely to happen I know, just wondered if there has been anything official anywhere.

Is there some rule preventing a team from bringing back a rider who has been dropped?

Just seen that Josh Bates named as reserve for British final. Presume therefore that he will be back.

Is he non British, and therefore have a minimum 4 average? If so would he fit the points limit?

Would it be better to make a double change. Say Kennett and Barker for Batchelor and Wright. Jack and Adam's averages suggest they are good enough to ride at 1 and 5. Strengthen up at reserve. Batchelor only scoring like a second string so losing nothing there.

But could he average more than 5.87, because that is Batchelor's average so far this year.

Not just speedway. Went to Sheffield Eagles first rugby league match in 1984. 2.00 to get in, today's equivalent 6.57, but it's 20 quid now, or 22.00 if you don't pay online and in advance. Worked in a pub in 1979, and charged 30 pence for a pint of beer. Today's equivalent 1.56. Few pubs now where you can get a beer for less than 3 quid.

There was a thread on this a few years ago, and yes it was a lot cheaper then ( even allowing for inflation). Also in those days, with second halves, you could see more races.

Comparing the riders against each opposite number, Sheffield could or should be able to equal or better their opposite, apart from number 7. So why am I still not confident of victory?

Thanks, was not sure. Before I started going.

Also 3 generations, Guy Nicky and Adam Allott all rode for Sheffield.

Not certain, but I seem to recall that Alan Jay and his father both rode for Sheffield, possibly even in the same match.

Sheffield did have a match scheduled for a Monday at one point.

Could he ride as guest? I know he can not sign for all three leagues.

I've paid at the gate for all the matches at Scunthorpe that I've been to. I believe the limit is 1000, and you can pay in advance to certain.

Don't you just love it. Complaints before the season that Bates would be our rising star. Complaints during the season that he won't.

I presume he would need to provide proof.

But he was due to ride yesterday, until covid prevented this.

Why has the Poole match been postponed? (especially considering no new date announcement.) Long gap between home fixtures after Kent match.
