If they overturn the deficit then they deserve to be given the whole cup!

Hopefully a big crowd mark the occasion and Stoke themselves do some sort of send off

If only they had flood lights and could run on a Saturday evening. Or maybe a 5pm start?

Potters have sold their stadium and will see out this season on Saturday but then that’s it. Stoke may have got their fair share of criticism but it’s still a sad day to lose a British Speedway club.

Yeah on reflection it was a surreal decision. Scorpions ride like the away side after that!

Is MPT riding?

More surprising that a facility is still allowed!

Updates were still reporting it as Lawlor initially.

But Morley isn’t riding.

Some would call it average lowering.

Yeah both announced as injury replacements so can slot back in. A Kent with with a fit Ledwith & Spooner plus Jenkins in and Kemp not missing are arguably title favourites. Even Ablitt leaving has ended up working out!

Unfortunately the random home loss to Plymouth and/or the infamous home loss to Mildenhall is going to put a stop to that.

Im going to put the heat scores on there, just let me type it up.

Ledwith might be fit by then. He’s back practicing on a bike now.

This is what I pointed out on Facebook and got shot down. Riders have to ride today.

Rumours that Wood may ride after all He should do tbf.

It’s a very strange scenario with Wood. Seems that we’re not getting conclusive answers either with him injured for tomorrow but not for tonight! Warriors were genuine title contenders but now that’s disappeared.

There’s only 3 changes and all due to injury.

That would close clubs down.

Why sign for a Championship team if you’re contemplating quitting? I wonder if that’s what tipped him over the edge which has inadvertently affected Kent way more than Birmingham.

Great performance by the Warriors and Hume more than filled in for Wood. Hopefully Georgie is able to ride on Sunday!

So surely Plymouth would have to choose Andrews with Extance being injured? As for Cradley, not picking Halsey it Harris seems strange and confusing. Will one of those appear now Spencer is injured or will they be stuck with McGurk?

Well he failed to score on the handicap meeting at Smallbrook last week and he obviously started at the tapes in every race.

Who are you referring to? If you mean Mulford he’d struggle to find a team on 5.18. Edit: You must mean Ablitt, thinking about it, but even then it’s not a great average for him because with a low points limit that could make him a 3rd heat leader in teams. For example, IOW started with RTD as 3rd heat leader on 5.22. But it’s a bit high to be a second string.
