Can't imagine he'd ever leave Scunthorpe, as long as he's wanted there.

Well that was a surprise, thought it'd be close on aggregate, but slightly fancied the Bandits. Well done to Scunthorpe.

Title favourites Poole have had 3 home matches, scored 61 twice, but only 49 against Edinburgh. They've also had 3 away matches with their biggest loss (4 points) coming at Edinburgh. Honestly I don't think Edinburgh look that string on paper, but they are doing really well this year. However I feel Workington's top 5 should ensure a win, can their reserves pick up enough points to give them the chance of a bonus point? Edit After last night, expecting Edinburgh to suffer a big loss today.

If that's the ruling, Glasgow should look to sign an U24 league rider on a 4.00 average & when it's rejected, get the lawyers to point out Workington signed a 4.00 rider under the same circumstances!

But it's still free right?

They drastically lowered the points limit & put in restrictions in an attempt to turn it into more of a "development" league. However that's just a quick & easy option. As it means 30-40 year olds who've ridden for 10 years, but will never make it can ride, but a 17 year old who averages 4.01 in the Champ can't ride. However you have to be careful with age limits as age discrimination is illegal. A 60 year old could go for an apprenticeship interview in an office & has the same rights as a 17 year old school leaver. Personally I would've riders averages based on both points scored & experience (not age). I have no issues with Hutt & Mudgway riding, if a team has 6 developing riders, one old hand is hardly gonna stop their progress. Besides if there were better 15 year olds out there, I'm sure they'd be in the team. Finally, this is a one-off appearance by Mudgway as Mulford is racing on the continent & no guest is allowed.

I honestly believe they relaxed / ignored the rule, because the Championship / British Speedway on the whole wanted the publicity of having a female racer

Kemp should know his way around the track pretty well

Just think she should be treated the same as male riders.

Scunthorpe to win, but Berwick should go through on aggregate. But it's not a certainty, Scunny are very good at home.

I don't know why Cami is so upset. Glasgow have to win (or draw/win) at Edinburgh to qualify. If Glasgow won the superheat, they'd still have to win (or draw/win) at Edinburgh to qualify. The only person who could possibly be upset is Chris Harris for lost wages?

Yet somehow Celina Liebmann signed on a 4 average not 5?

Shows how strong Ipswich are. Winning away at their titles without their top 2 dominating

At home amazing, away from the NSS he's a second string

Every match I expect Janowski to get going & score 12/13/14, it hasn't happened yet, but the risk is there if you let him go, he could do that for another team

Certainly can't drop Cook, I mean would they look at dropping Janowski, has a lower average than Kerr (2024 meetings) but must cost more?

Kerr back riding for Berwick. Wonder what Oxford will do?

No arguments the track looks wet, but the fact they didn't post pictures when cancelling with far better forecasts speaks volumes

A few years ago Buster did exactly that, but either the riders refused to race or the ref said it wasn't safe. So I can understand him not trying to get meetings on in poor weather. However, I do feel he calls off far too many meetings, when the forecast aren't THAT bad

I'm suggesting they could've put Perry in heat 14, once they were well clear & given both reserves 4 rides.

I think that's great he's getting help, but would suggest getting his 4th ride & gating tuition would be more valuable?

But if you have a rebuild & sign a 2.00 rider, they are even weaker at reserve. Need to make sure the new top 5 rider will score lots more than Starke.

If he wants to ride, can they stop him?

I thought Worrall protested innocence?

Do you honestly think Poole could struggle to win the bonus? Besides is it not more important to help Perry for the rest of the season? Surely an extra ride against a weak reserve would be great for his confidence?
