I didn't think Boxall was woeful at all, he wasn't getting out of the starts, which is a killer at Berwick, but tried hard & was on the pace

I would have to say it depends on a match to match basis. For example of you have a rider like Dayle Wood who (no offence) isn't going to beat anyone, it makes sense to give Fredriksen / Clegg the easier rides to score as many as possible. But of you have a rider like Coles who could have the beating of Roynon in heats 2,4,8 then leave Boxall to beat the second strings in the harder races?

I originally thought of Joe T, unsure if he is fit again, but now realise if he is fit, would be riding for Leicester's NL team.

Not really, regardless of who is at 6 or 7, the team manager could swap the reserves over in every heat if he wanted to.

Best wishes to Roynon & the cameraman.

I didn't think that was ever a question. Kelleher is a 4.00 Champ rider, Wood is a 4.00 NL rider.

Edinburgh 42-48 Poole

I have to admit, I most look forward to people's opinions on how a match will go & see if I agree with the majority. Sadly I tend to find 6 pages talking about the weather, 3 pages talking about clubs that don't stream (on Glasgow & Oxford pages) and 1 page actually talking about the match.

I wonder that the guest plan was before Redcar was postponed?

Maybe he means not having to go to Poole, where they prepare the track for the home team lol!

Gotta agree, r/r for Kye (so Josh gets an extra ride) seems the obvious choice. Possible guests for Paco: Gilkes, Bowtell or Dan T?

I have to agree with @Beirao that Basso should be at 5. Looks a weak pairing when Brennan rides with the reserves imo. If Brennan & Vissing don't ride well together, why not try Vissing at 2 and Nowak at 4?

Makes a lot of sense

Yet he still gets non stop grief by many on the Ipswich page!

As it is Hans first appearance at Sheilfield this year, I think I would have put Leon at 5?

Had to be lower than Jonas as he had already guested for him

Both teams are 99.99% in the play-offs regardless of the result anyway

Just to be really pedantic, should Woffy get a 28 day ban for "witholding his services" Of course not, because he hadn't agreed to ride in this match (presumably the contract he signed starts from Monday). So my question is, why would Sheffield want to sign Woffy before Thursday & why would the BSPL allow the signing knowing he wasn't available, are neither worried about the "integrity" of the Sport? If we act like these are two separate promotions, it's out of order for Sheffield to turn up at Leicester without a full team (when it's totally avoidable) as it could harm their crowd, I almost feel like Sheffield should get a guest at the away match, but use the 75% guest at their next home match, so it only hinders their crowd?

Very odd that Sheffield would drop Jack before Tai was available. After all Edinburgh announced Clegg but (before postponements) were going to use guests for Fredriksen for 2 away meetings.

Shame they were "bullied" into not being allowed to host Nora meetings, could that have lost them money, if the stadium is rented out who earns? Who gets gate receipts?

Former world class, but very experienced. Hopefully can hit a 7.0 ave in the Champ?

Thank goodness they've extended the cut-off date, how on earth can teams be expected to complete EIGHT home league fixtures by the end of August!

I disagree with that, his scores once he went to reserve at Leicester weren't so bad. Plus he nearly got a 12.00 average for Kent. Obviously his scoring for Scunthorpe this year was dreadful, but as long as he can ride Armadale (which he can) & help them to home wins, they'll make the top 6. Away form isn't really important until the play-offs, when Lasse should be back.

In theory weaker than racing with Holder, but Tigers can't use Holder. So stronger than r/r & more reliable than guests. Good signing

I've seen a few people mention this, but I don't think that's the rule, otherwise Brennan wouldn't have been left for Belle Vue in his second season. Personally think it's a bit early for him to be a RS & assuming there's 3 league double up in Champ & NL. Maybe at Workington (if they step up) seems to like the track!
