  1. Hope Roynon gets back to where he was, similar situation as when he returned after a previous injury (GB practice at KL), he could do with some NL meetings to get his confidence back but can't happen cos of the averages. Just hope he stays injury free now.
  2. Pretty sure Maggie, as you call him had an excellent meeting for Scunny here not that long ago. Can't remember Branford doing much while at Redcar but he was young so could be better now. Weather bright and breezy.
  3. Won't be easy and Somerset are favourites but so were Redcar to beat us at home. Good to see Rich get 8pts for Sheffield last night after finishing last in the first heat. Should go well tonight too.
  4. No automatic promotion, a club would apply to join the Elite League which is more costly to be in. Likewise a team can ask to drop down from the Elite League to the Prem. Newcastle finished top of the league last season but Scunthorpe are Champions cos they won the play-offs, a not popular rule which only came to the Prem last seaon, been in Elite League longer. Teams can get a guest for their No. 1 but not one with a higher average. Teams don't have squads, just 7 riders plus maybe a young number 8 so it keeps it competitive. Other rules are there but don't have time now. Some complicated, enjoy the racing! Far too much hype in football.
  5. Perry has tissue damage, nothing broken....on updates. Good. Didn't refresh, old news
  6. Yeh, well said Screm, don't want young lads getting them injuries at start of their career.
  7. Yeh well done Ipswich, track didn't seem to have much grip for passing but same for both teams. Our reserves weak and I think it's a long time since Lawson didn't win at home. 4pts at Redcar. 0 tonight, maybe one more than expected, chins up, but reserves....Thought Rusty would have been in heat 15 but Bach did come 2nd and had beat Barker.
  8. Should be a decent meeting, think home advantage will count though, and hope it does for my 2nd team
  9. On updates Cook passed Kauko going into the second lap
  10. Comets would probably have got 3 pts without the guests, disappointed with Glasgow though, expected more from Grieves, Bager and Wright. Not nice seeing Wrighty so poor, perhaps he moved up too soon cos he never scored well away in the Elite League. Cookie guested for Plymouth at Leicester tonight and probably changed the result, they got a point.
  11. Good point there, not the Comets fault and rolling averages are a farce but we've suffered from them too, just don't ask when
  12. Guests haven't always worked for us. I remember 2 or 3 seasons ago Kevin Doolan scored very poorly for us at Redcar in a match we lost narrowly. The guests are in the rules and however good they it'll be good to have our own 7 riders back.
  13. I think everyone rated Edinburgh when you signed Vissing to go with who you already had. Great to see Craig riding so well and getting plaudits everywhere.
  14. So could be in the team against the Comets then if he said that last week?
  15. I enjoyed Ashley having a good night too, shame about the awful crash at the start, Nck riding well would have made it closer. Kozza Smith was good to watch but I was disappointed with Bellago, expected more from him. Good night's racing though, hope both riders recover quickly.
  16. Also now on official site that Cook is guesting for Lawson on Saturday, good.
