Palin must be Scunny's weakest away rider though!

Don't know if there's any pressure on Peterborough! Gonna make the play-offs & 1st place is no great advantage as if you want to be the Champions need to beat any club over 2 legs!

Any of Peterborough's top 6 should be a trump card at reserve!

The Champ feels strong because clubs can have 3 x Prem heat leaders in their side! But with a stronger top division these riders wouldn't be Prem heat leaders & the Champ wouldn't look so strong!

With Simon Lambert at reserve Scorpions shouldn't be weakened!

Despite the much heralded signing of Ellis as a top Championship rider, he has been an 8.00 man at Champ level for a while & surprisingly not gotten much above that!

The bad part of Speedway in my view! Seeing a clip of so much wasted time at the start puts me off going!

Maybe because Worrall & Douglas is a tough pairing to use a TS against!

Indeed the current fixtures barely matter, Glasgow will easily make the play-offs & probably in the top 2!

Who was that?

Indeed, Workington won the treble in 2018, with Dan Bewley out injured!

Both age & experience are used!

Age discrimination is illegal, can't see a rule being allowed that limits how many 30/40 years olds teams can use!

If that's the case then the rule should be Aug 31st for transfers, unless a rider has a season ending injury! But that's not the rule! Surely the rule makers, when deciding on the cut-off date, realised a rider could get injured on 1st Sep and with no replacement allowed will have to use guests? Must've been ok with it? Why else would the rule be voted in?

The cut-off date is there for a reason, don't see why clubs would be allowed special dispensation to break it!

When Andersen missed his Berwick debut they had to revert to Garcia in their 1-7, Poole couldn't do that with Keleher, so got a guest for Smetana, so I'd guess Glasgow revert back to Sedgmen in the team, but how would that effect the transfer cut-off date? If the declared team still has Sedgeman in it, does that mean Nowak has missed the transfer deadline?

I get bored watching live speedway on TV, long breaks for adverts, plus riders taking an age to get settled into their start positions for races! Watching it after means you can fast forward lots of wasted time!

I guess missing matches for depression / mental health would fall under the "non speedway injury / illness" rule, which I believe is a 7 day "ban"! But I can imagine the uproar if a rider got "banned" for missing matches due to mental health issues!

I wouldn't want guests for the play-offs either, Peterborough are strong with r/r!

I guess I hadn't thought about teams not completing their matches before the cut off date!

I disagree, Birmingham can make the play-offs if they can pick up some away points!

MacDonald's ave should be 4.00, but mistakes creep into the sheets on occasions!

I don't understand how Ben Cook is still on a 4.00 ave, must have done 4H+4A by now surely?

Leicester should still win today, even though Plymouth now have 3 heat leaders for the first time this season, Leicester have 4!

Hume had no Champ team in 2020, he's the one rider who has gained from the "rising star" rule! It's a shame that it took a rule that "forced" Poole into signing a promising Brit over an Aussie for him to get a team spot!
