Home advantage still is home advantage, just ask Peterborough’s Fours teams.

I have to agree with those saying that Stoke, on their own track, look dark horses. BV and Kent don’t look bad either.

Plymouth are dreadful at announcing information.

An interesting read. When the home support are so vociferous about the track then you know something is wrong!

I don’t know why Plymouth didn't use a tac sub. Wilson could’ve come into heat 9 or 12 and them extra points could've won them the meeting.

Who’s in for NBJ then?

I think this will be decided by which of 4 poor reserves have a decent meeting.

Yeah I forgot that they haven’t done 4 meetings yet so have a little bit of Leeway.

He’s on 4.75 after 4 meetings effective tomorrow I think and Halder is 4.63.

The inevitable has happened and the date has changed!! Now on Sunday 25th August at Sheffield. So that’s now the 3rd NL event in a row that the date has changed for and I had time off work to attend but now I am unable to attend due to work. They obviously think that fans’ lives only revolve around speedway

RTD’s average is too high for Halder.

Campos is much better at Smallbrook than RTD. Whilst RTD has been nothing special this season and his average has dropped by half a point.

I think Sealey averaged about 1.70 in his season at the Warriors.

Edwards in for Jenkins makes them stronger imo with how good Edwards is round Smallbrook.

Certainly haha. Well if the NL Fours turn into a debacle there then nobody will turn up for the NL Pairs there!

It might finish on Saturday you mean!

When will British Speedway work our that they cannot change dates at late notice?! I have time off work on the 7th to go to KL and now don’t know if I’ll make it to Stoke. Others will be in the same boat with now being committed to working and will have booked hotels etc.

Not fair for either Cradley or Belle Vue fans.

Regarding group B, BV should progress but it’s totally open between the other 3 imo. Kent are missing Kemp. Plymouth have Wilson & Stoneman plus an in form Andrews and if Campos knows any track then it’s KL! Plus you can’t discount Mildenhall with Ayers in top form and Edwards & Atkins are no slouches either.

The draw has been done. Group A: Cradley, Leicester, Stoke & Isle of Wight. Group B: Plymouth, Belle Vue, Kent & Mildenhall.

I didn’t read much tbh but I know he’s trying to make it a 12 heat final rather than the previous 8 heats. And (by NL standards at least) that it’s actually going ahead as planned!

The Fours do not have priority but Pipe is publicising it on Facebook.

Wallinger & Leek out and Atkins & Butcher in. We all told you about Wallinger but Leek can feel unlucky seeing as he’s averaging 4.93 with BP in all comps. Atkins is a very good rider but a reserve duo of Kelly & Butcher puts a lot of pressure on Kelly to continue his nice start in his debut season imo.

Totally disrespectful to both the NL as a whole and his own 2 riders who have chosen to ride for 2 teams. Also don’t forget that Bowtell has been touring around for an NL spot so his riders obviously don’t agree with him!

Plymouth have won 6 out of 7 meetings between the sides at Smallbrook since the Devils dropped back down to the NL
