Peterborough v Ipswich Sunday 5th August
Islander15 replied to bigcatdiary's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Wasn’t this supposed to be a double header with Lakeside after it? What happened to that meeting? -
You’re right officially because with the meeting being abandoned it’s as if it didn’t take place. However it’s clear and obvious to everyone what happened so I expect some dispensation here to allow Plymouth a facility.
-
Tbf Stoke have previous, Buxton don’t, and Coventry seem to have stadium availability issues.

Birmingham Brummies v Cradley heathens
Islander15 replied to Heathen1984's topic in National League Speedway
What are you on about? -
Stoke have brought an injured Extance in for him though! Very unfortunate decision! He’d be a great addition to the Brummies reserve ranks as he’s been scoring alright for Stoke.

Birmingham Brummies v Cradley heathens
Islander15 replied to Heathen1984's topic in National League Speedway
Called it! Brennan for Flint and R/R for Walker who’s apparently sick. -
The Kelsey Dugard that apparently doesn’t want to ride on the south coast as he lives in Newcastle now, has signed for Plymouth!!
-
I know that. Hence why I said he ‘got the call’ and country politics were a factor by being German and they probably couldn’t have picked another Pole etc
-
Depends if they can afford it.
-
Obviously they’ve signed Ethan and not Danny but just being in the World U21 Final shows you how good he is! No NL rider is that standard and none of Wajtknecht, Greaves, Perks, Mountain etc got the call. Yes I know country politics came into play but look how far above the NL Lambert, Bewley & Jakobsen are who ride in Britain and they aren’t finding the series easy.
-
They would’ve stayed unbeaten at home and won at least 9 points away at Stoke, Buxton & Isle of Wight to give them a play-offs spot anyway. Then bring Spiller in for NLKOC, POs etc and get him back next year on a reduced average too.
-
On a 4.00 average though! Where the hell has that come from?! Unless someone at the BSPA has just decided he’s too good for a 3.00.
-
Sealey in for Butcher. Hardly much of an improvement. Whats happened to Borczuch? Or is he being saved for the play-offs?
-
Hume’s average is 8.80 but Knight 8.83.
-
R/R means 2 rides for the reserves, and one for Walker & Flint. So 5 points at best! Greenwood can score at least 6 points surely, he’s done much better than that in the past too even if he tailed off last year.
-
That is true, time will tell as he clearly won’t be staying in the 1-7. It would make sense to allow him to race elsewhere if that’s his wish As others have said, I suggested Atkin for Cockle as Buxton are below the points limit.
-
There’s a ready made replacement in free agent Tony Atkin!
-
Dan Greenwood replaces the injured Hume. That’s better than I thought they’d manage tbf.

Scorpions v Glasgow 22.7.18 5.00pm
Islander15 replied to ScunnyDan's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Is it going to be run the 500cc and then run the 250cc champs or mixing the two up? -
Scunthorpe Scorpions 2018
Islander15 replied to IronScorpion's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Whilst the other Friday meetings should not have been taken off the calendar, they dont affect this meeting. It was scheduled for back in May and there aren’t enough Fridays that exist that neither Scunny or Workington had a meeting. -
A solid team now but a lack of heat winners. Auty is having a fabulous season but it’s a gaters track and he’s not a gater! I thought Pieszcek was having a good debut season, even if he’s ran into a bit of dodgy form. Mountain has proven himself at BP this season though so he should do well in heat 2s.
-
Wallinger hahah what a dreadful move! There’s so many more reliable and better 2.00 riders out there and then you’re running the risk of Kemp getting an average anyway. As for Mountain, he might have had a poor meeting last week but this is still easily his best ever season. Then Riss probably does improve on Jeppesen/Hartel but why not make the swap and only replace the injured Hume?!
-
The above happened to Bebee and he got reassessed at 3.00 so not necessarily. Despite what you explain being exactly what the rules say.
