IoW make a profit, how many Premiership or Championship clubs can say that!

I'd expect Ipswich to get 5-1s in heats 13&15, so can't see a Sheffield win here!

Sedgmen has been doing very well for Leicester imo, no need for him to be a reserve. Don't think Sedgmen has had more racing than Allen though, Birmingham haven't raced yet, Scunthorpe have raced once. Justin has guested once, so I think it's one Champ match each so far!

Who would you replace Jenkins with?

I don't get the fascination with who gets the home leg 2nd but in this case I think it could hurt Plymouth's crowd if they get a heavy defeat at Poole, which is very possible!

Don't forget Dan Gilkes will be in heat 8! Also Kyle can't move into the team until July at the earliest!

It's bizarre to think of a Speedway rider being in a children's hospital. Anyway get well soon Luke

MPT 7 Andersen 5 Worrall 5 Basso 9 Iversen 9 Cook 8 Jenkins 4 = 47 points for Panthers!

Peterborough 47 - 43 Belle Vue

Leicester 49 - 41 Ipswich

Those must be the best options for Scunny. Danyon Hume best option for Birmingham?

That's a tough question to solve @StevePark if you only allow NDL racing on perfect slick tracks, how will they ever learn to race a more difficult track? At the same time don't want injuries! Even someone like Dominic Kubera who has reached GP podiums couldn't get round the Glasgow track, is that because he's only ever been trained on fast & slick Polish circuits?

Don't expect British Speedway to act logically.

Hume's 12 match rolling ave is now at 3.85. Last year he was the RS now riding at number 6 he gets tougher rides, so can't see him getting back above 4.00 imo

Not really, same with Sayfutdinov, but he's not really gonna drop his average. It's one of the best rules they thought of not letting foreigners drop to 3.00, maybe more effective in the Championship but riders like Anders Andersen, Rafal Konopka, Arlo Bugeja - would often get team places ahead of Brits despite their low averages.

Rew can drop to 4.00, but I'm not sure if Hume will end up above 4.00?

1) I don't see how Plymouth "abused the system" last year, a rider got injured - they were allowed a guest. If so many clubs were in aghast at this situation, why haven't the rules been changed to stop it happening again? 2) no mention of the Plymouth reserves is probably telling, Stevie knows Poole will clean up there!

Expecting Mildenhall to be in the cup final holding a 2 point lead going into today's second leg

Riding order hasn't changed for the Peterborough match!

That seems so unpreffessional, could they not have waited till they returned to the pits & have a polite discussion with the team manager present?

Will be June before Berwick's averages change. Are there any heat leaders out there to replace him if Berwick were even looking?

Glasgow have a quiet spell coming up & Workington haven't started yet, Ace will get a break whether he needs it or not!

A ban seems a bit harsh considering GB aren't even bothering to send a reserve. How important can it be in that case?

I'll go for a 2 point win for Berwick. Think Glasgow's reserves could do well!

I agree that's there's better number 6s in the league, but they are on higher averages, so expect them to be better. I've read many comments on various posts about dropping Z.Cook for Nicholls for example, but I just don't see Wolves dropping their averages to allow that change - their top 5 are all good! After the first 2 matches of 2023, the teams rolling aves have risen to 39.63
