Pending disaster, Wolves look pretty safe for the play-offs, so as long as Masters can return by then, you'll be ok!

They had to give Flint a ride early on, I certainly wouldn't have used him cold in heats 21 or 22. But by not using Flint earlier, they had boxed themselves in, it had to be Kemp!

Doubt it, can you name a better rider on a 2.00 ave?

That team wouldn't lose a match in the NL!

I would have given him a go. Looks a mistake not to use him as Kemp finished with 3 lasts

I was thinking more recently. I thought testimonials had to be at the beginning or end of the season, so fixtures don't get held up etc.

I thought testimonials had to be in March or October? When Stuart Robson's was cancelled at Redcar, they had to put it on in October!

I personally think this rule should be used for all guests. I don't mind guests but don't think teams should be able to strengthen up when missing riders, this makes it harder to do that!

Let's be serious, this team would dominate the Championship Peterborough 47.74 Chris Harris 9.26 Scott Nicholls 8.28 Michael P Toft 7.15 Ben Basso 7.12 Justin Sedgmen 7.03 Ulrich Ostergaard 6.90 Jake Mulford 2.00

Obviously meant can't use r/r for a reserve lol!

Can't use r/r for a reserve, but he's bound to be in the top 5 from August

I believe Berwick don't get a facility to raplace Knudsen, so had 3.75 (25% ofc his ave) to use for a guest replacement. That was the rule used for Poole & Glasgow when Smetana & Nowack didn't have visas

Totally agree with you, don't see it as a clever move signing up Freeman. Showed promise with Armadale, but has gone backwards in a weaker NL this year with Belle Vue!

Bad news for Riss. Luckily for Redcar, they will have far better guest options than Ipswich. Two matches left in July before the averages change: Scunthorpe (A) Troy Batchelor, Leon Flint, Hans Andersen or MPT (if fit)? Leicester (A) Josh Pickering?

Shock to see Bowtell losing a 5-1 at home

I'll predict Kent 46 - 44 Oxford

Why was Jenkins missing in the first place?

Stronger - yes Strong - nah (at home maybe)

Summers was announced as a 28 day replacement for Thomas, so I assume that meant Thomas couldn't return for 28 days. As far as I'm aware Wright was not signed as a 28 day replacement so Scunny should be allowed to bring Aarnio back, pending management committee approval probably?

Indeed it seems a very similar situation between Oxford & Scunthorpe. If Thomas can come back, while they keep Summers. Then Aarnio MUST be able to come back while keeping Wright, surely?

In different places on the SpeedwayGB website I see Plymouth vs Glasgow & Plymouth vs Armadale in Aug 23rd. Does anyone know which fixture is on this date (or is it a double header)?

Because that'll be his 3.00 Champ average doubled

Far from it, if the team is good enough to win by 20 points at home most weeks, they can afford to lose by 18 away & win the double!

Must admit, I was looking forward to reading plenty of "I was wrong" comments about Max Clegg

Not a fan of this rule: 1) basically it's brought in to stop riders / teams "cheating" 2) unfortunately if a rider is really ill, he then had to miss a week of racing - if I'm not well enough for work, I do t have to take a whole week off, so why do speedway riders? 3) if a rider is fit to return, but has to wait 7 days - means MORE GUESTS being used
