Clearly haven't planned the fixtures very well, which is ridiculous when you realise how few matches they race these days.

If anyone wants to sign Jeppesen, they need to do it before his average goes up in May, his converted ave for May is set to be 5.65, in April he's available on 4.34!

Nick Morris guesting for Riss on Wednesday, seems a good choice.

That would be a good move, didn't expect the averages to drop, but best use the available points to strengthen up when they can.

Starke's average is too high. Ben Trigger would fit! However would be very harsh on Spencer to get replaced so early in the season.

Happens every season with the KOC. Even this year it's easy to explain, teams finishing 2nd & 3rd of the group get "knocked out" of the competition!

If fans are happy with a "boring" win, then I guess that'll keep the crowds coming. I'm very much more interested in the entertainment on show, than the result. While I'll tend to be cheering on one of the teams in action, I don't have "my team" to support (Rye House & Arena-Essex / Lakeside) so can understand why others would feel differently.

I was replying to the first part, about the Poole track in the play-offs.

Don't let a Poole fans hear you say that 😆 Anyway, I have seen mostly from the gate matches kept exciting by a close score. But a 60-30 match could be exciting if the Scunthorpe keep gating & Workington keep passing.

This is all hypothetical, but would it be in the rules? Rushen ups his average to above 5 (not likely to happen), gets dropped for Riss (on his Champ converted ave), then after missing 1 match, gets brought back as the RS in place of Scott? Basically what Edinburgh did in 2009, when they dropped Wolbert for Tully (Wolbert must've been an injury replacement), then Dilger for Wolbert (something along those lines, my memory is fading a little on that situation).

This seems like making a mountain out of a molehill! All Phil did was comment on something he was told & have a discussion about it, he didn't declare it as fact did he?

Just out of curiosity, does that mean if you prepare a boring race track on purpose it's acceptable then?

I can't imagine they'd have expected the averages to go down though? Cook, Jeppesen & especially Zischke would've been looked at to up their averages!

Totally agree with the first part, I think because Kvech was a GP rider you automatically expect more of him, but have to remember he finished 15th. Think he was always gonna lose his extraliga team spot as he's no longer an U24 rider. British Speedway should be important to him if he wants to prove he can compete with the best.

I'm not saying it's definitely wrong for Cooper to step up so soon, or that it definitely won't work out, just that it could prove disadvantageous if it hurts his confidence in such a tough position. He could have a long career in front of him, so thought "why take the risk"? Obviously didn't do Robert Lambert any harm, but most riders take smaller steps.
