King riding as a guest makes sense, a Birmingham win helps Redcar's hopes of finishing top!

If they have any play-off aspirations Birmingham really need to win this one. But Poole rarely lose & can't see it happening on Wednesday.

My thoughts exactly, Connor winning yesterday didn't "prove" anything to the Glasgow promotion, they already knew he is good around Ashfield & I'm sure they are delighted for him. His away form will be the reason he was let go.

Not necessarily, Mountain got a 5-1 in heat 2, but never met a serve again! Would Andersen definitely have beaten a top 5 Wolves rider?

Same as an away team, win the super heat, same points as a win. Personally don't see anything wrong with draws, but the scoring is the same home or away.

But you can't just drop a rider & say you're gonna go with guests instead

But as soon as one rider has a crash without a helmet on, look at the insurance rates double!

I wouldn't say he guided Belle Vue to the title, more realistic to say he was a part of the team that won the league! But as "some" Berwick fans on here are keen to get rid of him, I don't think he'll solves Witches problems.

My picks for the leading nations i.e the finalists: AUS J.Doyle M.Fricke C.Holder J.Lidsey J.Holder G.B D.Bewley A.Ellis C.Harris T.Woffinden R.Lambert DEN L.Madsen M.Michelsen N.Pedersen A Thomsen POL P.Dudek M.Janowski J.Kolodziej D.Kubera B.Zmarzlik

Wolves 54-36 Panthers

Think Witches top 2 will keep it close. Belle Vue 47-43 Ipswich

With Batchelor having his first Premiership match & Lynn with former Lion Howarth & Lambert who can go well here don't think Leicester will hit 60. Lions 55-35 Stars

I was pointing out how unlikely a late play-off push for Ipswich is - it's not easy to post sarcasm

A quick look at today's fixtures & I see a way back into play-off contention. Witches win at Belle Vue, Stars win at Leicester and Panthers win at Wolverhampton - what could be simpler

I don't like finals & think these events should be decided over 20 heats. However I don't "feel" for Rowe, because before the match he knew the rules & understands a 15 point max only guarantees him gate choice in the final. Under the rules Connor Bailey was the deserving winner (I don't like these rules & feel Rowe would have been a deserving winner in a 20 heat match).

I didn't intentionally switch the legs round, only picked those dates because Scunny are at Redcar on the Friday already & didn't know of the stockcar event on the Saturday. I see zero reason whatsoever to suggest Redcar should host the second leg, just do whatever fits in with the fixtures best, there's no advantage either way imo

Auto correct drives me mad at times

The comment of the 1-7 staying the same is a strange one, it's obviously meant to be positive comment aimed at the people suggesting Laguta would be leaving, but normally when you have a weak team saying the 1-7 is staying the same isn't something to boast about lol!

Why not go with Pijper, Boughen & Harrison for your bottom 3 next season? Imagine how strong the top for would be!

Neil Middleditch wants to win everywhere, I don't think he'd tell his lads to take it easy. Could be Havvy team managing, if so he'd be wanting to keep up a record of not having being beaten this season.

Which is exactly the sort of rule that need to be "fixed". Although that's not accurate, Barker wasn't guesting for Riss, he was a temp signing, Riss couldn't return to Ipswich till 28 days was up - but can ride for another team! I wonder if he could've guested against Ipswich?

I'd be going Redcar leg on Fri 21st, Scunny leg on Sat 22nd. Get the Cup final raced against Poole before October!

Well in that case, I'll remove any blame I was feeling towards Connor. Can't understand the decision though, when Complin was offered the guest booking he must have known it was because Redcar we're riding that day, so there's always a chance of a postponement & Bailey suddenly becoming available. I feel the "integrity" of the sport i.e using your own riders should trump Complin's guest booking.

That makes it even worse imo. Many fans hate the guest system, I feel it's a necessary evil but gets abused. How can you explain to a newcomer why Workington are allowed a guest for a rider not injured & in attendance?
