They still do as far as I know.. They kept extending the closure date but I'm sure it's still going.

What does that mean in terms of naming their teams? Do they have to name them 30 minutes after practice was due to finish?

Why do they keep doing that?

And Broc Nicol but not sure if they have a reserve now?

He's not riding.

Joker can't be used in last four heats but tactical can. Alternatively you can use the joker and tactical together up to heat 16.

Lee did. In fact he won two if you count longtrack titles.

I don't think Kurtz over Masters is much of a gamble myself. He would have to only score 4 to make them weaker. I haven't seen Batch's scores lately but what I have seen of him this year he's struggled and doesn't look confident in situations. I would see Batch as more of a gamble than Kurtz.

Janowski isn't riding.

I would probably promote Brady Kurtz and put Jack Holder at reserve.

Regarding the painted programme boards, the guy that used to paint them has a Facebook page with photos of some of the ones he did. https://www.facebook.com/Speedart-Programme-Boards-658127557653527/

And Sudden Sam..

Neither will Janniro. So who comes in? I'd like to see Broc Nicol given a chance for one. Maybe Max Ruml as the other.

I use updates as a 'programme' at meetings to keep track of scores. But they're usually a couple of heats behind.

He doesn't want to Rusholme, he wants to get a curry first.

Blimey you don't half talk some sense!

I probably should have hyphened it... Tai-ttoo There's definitely an I in there

It is and it surely means that the final could never be staged at somewhere like Gorican or Daugavpils under current rules. I think a few things need changing, which I've decided needs some more thought but I'll come back to it

To be fair, there will be at least one nation that is good enough but won't be in the final, maybe two.

He's gone to get a Taittoo

I've just driven to Rochester in Kent from Leicestershire on my day job. I took the M1, A14, M11, M25. I can see there being uproar on here now cos people will say I should have carried on down the M1 cos everyone is an expert in other people's jobs

I reckon Tai knows what he's doing myself. If he gets 4 on Saturday then fair enough but I can't see that happening. Let's just leave the riders to get on with their jobs and enjoy the show.

I've got some ladders you can borrow.

He always beat me in the queue at the chippy though.

Don't worry, when he's keeping Britain in the game with his solid scoring on Saturday, everyone will be grateful he's on their side and not the opposition.
