So the new averages are out on the SCB website and if you leave Govier out of the seven they've got nearly 7 points to find another rider. Could be even more punchy and leave out Sealey and have nearly 10 for two riders. Wonder what they're planning.

Local paper says he has declared himself fit.

Liam Carr involved in a big crash with Kelsey Dugard at IOW tonight. Withdrawn from meeting and looks to be in trouble with upper arm / shoulder problem.

Several teams use a better rider at 4 to provide insurance in heat 14.

Poole use Carl Wilkinson for Nicolai Klindt.

I'm not sure if Skidder is being serious. Security in the current circumstances is no joking matter. On a lighter note, perhaps the search should be conducted as folks leave the stadium - surrendering the dust and shale that they have accumulated.

Bad weather being forecast for Tomorrow so meeting postponed according to Barry Bishop on Facebook.

Subject to approval, Connor Coles and Kelsey Dugard will replace Nathan Greaves and Rik Mullins according to the Island Facebook.

Birmingham now rained off. Fingers crossed for Wolves tonight.

Greaves still in declared one to seven for the time being and happy to ride when there are no fixture clashes with higher leagues.

If Hunter has been binned, the IOW should dive in right away.

What injury has George Hunter sustained? Please advise.

I know you shouldn't believe anything you read in the press, but I see yoursportswindon.co.uk are listing the Sprockets as wajtknect, Wallinger, Greenwood, Woolley, Ritchings, Cupitt and Whitmore. That team is currently more than 39 points so is it legal? Secondly given his current average of 6+ why is Cupitt at 6 and not in the 2 to 5? May all change on the night but thought I would ask.

Hoping to do Birmingham at 3 pm and then whip over to Monmore for the double header. Looks like a straight forward Wolves win to me with nowt for the Pirates.

The featured video relates to the meeting v Swindon on 4 May. Not Lakeside last night.

Nathan Greaves signs for Ipswich and will continue with Warriors when Ippo commitments allow or until IOW redeclare. Guests permitted in meantime. On track the Warriors are in melt down, but have an opportunity to restructure for the better.

Hope the home promotion take the opportunity to present the 2016 Blue Riband trophies to Eddie, Scott and Bomber that you will recall went missing last October.

In the close season we read Matt Ford saying that he made a mistake not making a change to his 2016 team. Now in their local paper he is saying no team changes yet. He's lost the Midas touch and I would think he would walk if he got an acceptable offer.

You just can't argue with what they get done on the Island. A friend of mine over there told me last night that they are also hosting a whole class plus parents from a local school this week following on from a school visit yesterday. The teams are now up on their website and it looks like an aggregate win for the Devils.

So with Scunny rained off, can we expect Lewis Kerr to re-route to Swindon?

Darryl Ritchings for James Shane's on Poole website. Home win.

Are TR's permitted in the NL? I ask because I can't find it in 2017 rule book. If they are, is it 10 points in arrears and between heats 5 and 12 inclusive? Sorry to ask.

So if Poole have to use RR for Kerr tonight at BV, I would have thought it will be RR for Riss tomorrow.

What prompts your question?

Colin Pratt in Speedway Star says U21 final has been reallocated away from Swindon to another (as yet undecided) U K venue.
