Quite a funny opening with calling Ben teapot but the updates comment... So every other sport struggles with attendances that have live, second by second, commentary does it? Social media attracts publicity and attention and thats why more and more clubs are parting their own Twitter updates.

Arent Sundays in August a better alternative than ending up using Sundays in October though?

Stokes double header is off today too.

So doubling-up costs the Colts the chance to secure the double. If Scunny & Pboro had have got on with their KOC quarter-final then the Glasgow semi wouldnt have been so rushed to reschedule it day after day in October! Equally though if the rules allowed the NLKOC to go to golden heats then the Mildenhall quarter-final wouldnt have needed a replay and this meeting couldve happened earlier in the season to avoid the fixture back log. Like we all know though: the rules are a state!

Paul Bowen it is then. A good choice considering.

Yeah thats true. I forgot he never officially left Buxton.

Eastbourne have nabbed the obvious replacement for Mellish in Jason Edwards. I wonder if someone like Ben Woodhull will reappear for one meeting. The weather looks dodgy around racing time on Weds so the rain could prove to be a leveller too.

With Hume on that average again almost guaranteed, youve got a brilliant start!

Wheres Powell then?

It makes you wonder how Eastbourne managed to lose the home meeting only a couple of weeks ago.

Its disappointing to see that another important end of season NL fixture is going to be influenced by guests and particularly who picks the best unattached reserve.

You mean have a useful reserve like Hunter, Rowe, Kemp or Edwards haha!

When are the Colts planning on running their home leg of the final? With both the Aces & Colts still in KOC action there looks a bit of a fixture pile up.

Yeah the bosses know theyll probably do better without him!

Lakeside take a 16 point lead to the NSS but the Colts have Bewley & Smith riding. However the Hammers conveniently have Nick Laurence R/R and have brought Edwards into reserve.

He should be else its unfair. But Colts fans could say the same about themselves (Shuttleworth anyway) on Friday just gone.

Oh yes they will 😉 the manager committee have ruled that theyll ride for BV, not Glasgow.

This is becoming ridiculous with the play-offs being ruled by who can pick the best guests!

Hunter R/R?

Whos Kent got at reserve then against Edwards and somebody?

They cant use Sunday as its the Pairs and Newcastle are riding on Saturday. Bowtell missing is a big issue for the Hammers.

What happened to Boxall and Compton to make them withdraw anyway?

Far too much of that legal manipulation occurs. Its bad enough with them picking a different number 6 each week.

That season has unfortunately proved that.

At least that explains that Eastbourne arent purposely being penalised in terms of Knight missing home meetings. I assume therell be no pairs or fours to see if there is consistency.
