Think it'll be a decent Scunthorpe win (20+). Unless Klima rides like it's a Czech track - but still a Scunny win (50-40).

Would Jacob Hook have been a better option than Zischke?

Obviously riders should want to do well every week, but Vinnie should have some extra motivation to beat Starke.

I'm sure the visit of a top team like Poole, should help swell the crowd, however I anticipate a home loss, which could hurt future crowds if Comets appear out of the play-offs race. Hopefully that won't happen.

"we are in the playoffs" really, that's new to me lol! I'm guessing you mean Berwick are currently in a top 4 position? "if we can replace Danyon with someone of equal strength" Berwick are well below the limit, should be desperately looking to sign a stronger rider than Hume.

While I've never been pushing for a Nick Morris return (don't think he's particularly good value on his average) with Danyon Hume out injured (get well soon) and points to play with, could this be a possible team? Nick Morris 8.82 Craig Cook 8.40 Peter Kildemand 7.71 Drew Kemp 7.38 Sam Hagon 3.64 Tom Spencer 2.00 Dayle Wood 2.00 Total 39.95

Brilliant news, can't afford to lose any more clubs. Workington fans wanting regular Speedway will certainly get that now, with only 1 home meeting raced.

It would be easily doable (2H 2A) if clubs used a majority of British based riders, who didn't ride abroad.

How is that entitled? As @LisaColette said Workington did say they'd give a statement.

Oxford have ridden with 4 guests & r/r before! The post did also mention the silence is deafening, if the promotion said they were working on fixtures, or did a Poole & blamed others for being unhelpful, then their own fans would be less annoyed with Glasgow.

How would clubs cope with 2H & 2A, they struggle to rearrange matches when it's 1H & 1A (plus BSN)?

Oxford have got 7 riders who can all score well, so expecting a comfortable home win, will be closer if Cookie is riding imo

I think I you're being too kind to Doyle, if Ipswich needed a 5-1 or 4-2, you could easily say "he had to make a split second decision and just got it wrong", but with the scores as they were he shouldn't have been trying to squeeze through gaps. I will give him credit for trying to put on a show for the fans, but should've rode like Emil did in the re-run, still trying to win, but not doing anything daft 😉

NL era Cradley riders? Steve Worrall was the first that came to mind.

If that's true, it's pure insanity by the BSPL / SCB, you can't have different rules for different teams. Maybe Ipswich wanted to use Foord and also guests for Jenkins, but we're told they couldn't drop Foord for Jenkins to use guests. Which makes sense, clubs can't sign an already injured rider & expect to use guests!

That should never have been allowed, once Jenkins was eligible again, then Birmingham, Lynn or Oxford should have picked him. So what if Ipswich wanted him back? The rules were clear, he wasn't their current RS so should've been part of the draft.

Jenkins didn't opt out of the scheme, he "graduated" because his average went above 4.00. Once it dropped down, he was eligible to be a RS again, that's always been in the rules.

Just remember you were watching Birmingham against a Prem team not a Champ team. Perhaps Birmingham's farewell meeting could be a Challenge against the Championship winners, then we can find out? 😄

With Kemp getting a r/r that's not too bad an option. Does mean the reserves having to take 10 rides between them though (unless using a tac sub).

I do feel comments like this are daft, no matter how bad a Prem team is, they're still stronger than the best Champ team. This Birmingham team still has a chance to avoid the Wooden Spoon (as Oxford keep losing too). But out of interest I looked at the stats. Birmingham in the Champ would be 51.37. Highest Champ team is currently Scunthorpe on 42.54. Of course that using a lot of assessed averages, looking at Poole's Prem averages that would come to 29.56, below Birmingham's 31.90. The top Champ side against the bottom Prem side would probably be a lot closer this year, but still a win for the Prem team.

That made me laugh! Maybe Doyley was listening to Kelvin lol!

But if Kelvin gets corrected then first time he gets it wrong, he won't keep looking a fool, by saying the wrong thing again & again. Allen would've been kinder to point out his error.

Really daft ride by Doyle when Ipswich only needed a 2-4. Thankfully for the Witches it didn't cost them.

Kildemand should be getting more rides imo. Don't want to end up giving him multiple rides on the trot by not using him sooner!

I don't think it would be wise Edwards signing for Ipswich, unless he knows Jenkins won't return. Otherwise when Jenkins returns Edwards top flight season could be over (if passed the signing cut-off date). He should probably offer his services to a play-off team who would want a stronger RS, Belle Vue or Leicester for example?
