Before everyone starts complaining about teams being weak again. Cradley fans: did you enjoy the meeting? Was the racing good or was it gate and go stuff?

Presumably, on the BSPA site Verge and Govier are declared in the side now, so I'm not sure how Govier can ride as a number 8. I would've thought Chapman or Kirby would have to be the number 8 with the other a 'guest'.

They're just this years averages and the green sheets use rolling averages so they're not the same figure. Anders looks as if he's going to be back sooner than expected but in the mean time, had a 'proper' number 1 have scored 6 yesterday Scunny would have got a league point! But the team has been inconsistent with no-one standing out as the obvious choice to drop to me, maybe Auty for me but he's carrying an injury and just signed a full contract! If those 4 are struggling is swapping a 3.00 man for another really going to make much of a difference tbh? I'm surprised Blackbird missed out. Do you or Scunthorpe fans know why, or was it just averages? As to Sarjeant Coventry Storm are a Friday track even if the Bees don't ride on a Friday much.

Reading Ipswich's 2014 averages was interesting so here are Scunthorpe's: Home/away - overall (overall including bonus points) Douglas 8.60/4.80 - 6.49 (6.67) Howe 6.67/5.68 - 6.16 (6.70) Birks 6.40/5.07 - 5.83 (6.63) Auty 5.33/6.12 - 5.75 (6.13) Jorgensen 4.71/6.44 - 5.60 (6.17) Numerous guests at # 1 4.44/4.33 - 4.38 (5.33) Williamson 1.33/2.57 - 2.00 (2.15) Clearly guests aren't working, only Douglas is scoring over his average, and Auty's figure is inflated by his 14 from 5 at Sheffield.

Converted NL averages don't exist. You either use a previous PL one, if he's never been in the PL before he's a 3.00, or they randomly make up their own rules and reassess.

I have the same problem, I can't find it!

I'm not sure if it's different this year but previously the first rider missing in your 2-5 war covered by R/R (so that's Kerr) and your number 7 (so Rose) is covered by a 3.00 National League guest, who is someone who doesn't have another PL team and hasn't achieved over 4.00 in the PL before which rules out Smart, Mallett & Carr. For me Sarjeant is the obvious choice, but I'd like to see them go with BDJ or Kingston.

Danny Ayres was supposed to ride for Scunthorpe, after a few MDL meetings, so I wonder what happened to that...

He was declared in the Scunthorpe team originally so I think he's one of the two moto cross riders that they wanted.

Do league cup matches count towards averages?

Sean Phillips has signed & Cockle guests for Carr on Sunday.

Gustix I think it's neither. Leicester are a very good team and as many previously observed Fremantle is an important team member!

Some quick answers on the ones I know: Irving - He put his job over a Scunny PL place last season. Bekker - Had an operation last summer and sold most of his kit he has been on a bike since in SA but that doesn't mean he necessarily wants a team spot. Branford - Withdrew from the British Under 21 final, so ever increasingly looking like he can't make it over this year. Knight - Retired this winter. Atkin - Retired midseason last year but he said he'll help out Stoke if they need it this year. Stoneman - Retired to concentrate on being a mechanic.

I'd like to see Bailey get at least 1 R/R ride.

Storm 1. Stefan Nielsen 2. Luke Crang 3. Oliver Greenwood 4. Dan Greenwood 5. James Sarjeant 6. Ryan Terry-Daley 7. Martin Knuckey Stags 1. Steve Jones 2. Conor Dwyer (G) 3. Danno Verge 4. Adam Kirby (G) 5. Sam Woods (G) 6. Liam Sanderson 7. Ryan MacDonald Don't forget Lee Dicken comes in on Sunday (even though Jayne's comment is interesting). One name I would like to see is Marc Owen, he certainly deserves a chance after a very bad injury and is capable of going far or a more Scunny-like name is Tom Young. I don't know how many EWR laps the former has done, and I haven't noticed the latter's name in practice sessions.

I agree but I need to point out that KL have 3 progressing riders: Rose, Ritchings & Bailey.

Everyone would rather complain that take notice of what is actually happening!

King's Lynn Young Stars 1. Lewis Rose 2. Darren Mallett 3. James Cockle 4. Darryl Ritchings 5. Kyle Hughes 6. Josh Bailey 7. Scott Campos Scunthorpe Stags 1. Steve Jones 2. Ryan MacDonald 3. Danno Verge 4. ? 5. ? 6. Liam Sanderson 7. ? Govier, Mogridge & Downes are all injured.

Tom Young? Marc Owen?

Mason is ill so it's R/R. Good luck Stags!!

Just Dan Greenwood atm I think

Good luck to Stoke this season, especially Ben & Chris.

Rolling averages mean these won't necessarily be the best improves in 2014 but will have high increase in averages imo... 1. Richie Worrall 8.42 2. Ryan Douglas 5.03 3. Cameron Heeps 6.57 4. Jason Garrity 5.45 5. Ashley Birks 7.30 6. Adam Ellis 4.14 7. Brady Kurtz 5.00 Total: 41.91

Premier Shield: Newcastle Premier League Play-Offs: Scunthorpe First Place (at end of regular season): Ipswich Premier League Cup: Workington Premier League KO Cup: Ipswich Premier League Riders Championship: Craig Cook Premier League Pairs: Edinburgh Premier League Fours: Workington Finally, The Wooden Spoon: Glasgow

No. Belle Vue already have 2 double-uppers in their 1-5 so he'd have to sacrifice his EL spot. Rob said in the speedway start that he is 2 days behind Jason Doyle in the application process, and when Doyle knows that he can ride for Leicester they will notify Scunthorpe which should tell Scunthorpe whether Ryan can ride or not. But Rob expects him to ride on the 30th. I sincerely hope he does come over!
