Eagles will be looking for 2 out of 2 away wins then. A lot depends on whether Edwards takes to the track.

Looks a tight and attractive meeting.

Not a particularly strong guest for Stevie.

That’s probably the biggest meeting of the season too! Any chance of a double header??

Peterborough? The semi-final there last year was on a Tuesday I think.

Sam Woods isn't in the NL anymore. I'll let you pick an alternative.

Yeah and by picking a ‘weaker’ rider it makes the draw uneven.

Strangely not Kelsey though.

Give us a clue as to who you mean.

They’ll turn up and row in the half of the draw that is that much easier! Good to see 2 semis this year though.

1. Jack Smith 8.20 2. Leon Flint 3.00 3. Kyle Bickley 6.67 4. Jordan Jenkins 7.19 5. Danyon Hume 7.33 6. Jason Edwards 3.00 7. Drew Kemp 3.00

The aim is to pick a side who'll end with the highest collective team average. Simply pick 7 riders upto a 39 point limit and a maximum of 2 riders from each team. No transfers, it's just a start of the season competition. Last year's winner was Eagles69, ahead of Islander15 and SKJ. In 2016 Halifax Tiger won, ahead of John Leslie and Turn Two.

You just know he will on Sunday. He’s much improved since his time with the Scorpions and no end of times a riders returns and puts in a blinding performance!

I’d prefer ‘Islander’ but it was taken

Tom Bacon.

I’m 22

Exactly. So it makes much more sense to have Whitmore at reserve and give him potentially 6 rides in a tight encounter. However it’s a stark introduction to the NL for Pavitt, or Douglas, who faces an opposition number 1 in their first ride and no luxury of grabbing a point in heat 2. It looks a difficult year up in Derbyshire after they assembled good teams on paper for the past couple of years which unrivalled as the seasons went on. How old do you think I am haha?

Near to an announcement on the last rider?

Yeah I wasn't comparing him to Speight's career, just last seasons appalling 0.50 average. Having seen Kean in action last season you could be right but I bet they score a similar number of points.

By the sounds of things, only the BV management seem to think Dicken is good enough! Time will tell if he’s the ‘worst’ in the league or as bad as David Speight was last year but he won’t be far off unfortunately.

He does fit. If he wanted the spot then surely he would’ve been there from the start.

Tbf when I posted previously I forgot that either reserve can be at number 7 now.

Out of interest are NSS meetings as good in the daytime? I’ve often found that racing tends to be better in an evening.

Some lad from Carmarthen Dragons?

What are people expecting the riding order to be? 1. Worrall 2. Nielsen 3. Auty 4. Allen 5. Garrity 6. Manzares 7. Phillips Looks the best bet to me.
