Guest announced as Bewley.

Can anyone sit in the grandstand or is it reserved for season ticket holders or something?

1. Jacobs, 2. Dugard, 3. Smart, 4. Baseby, 5. Cockle, 6. Saul & 7. Govier 1. Bewley, 2. Woolley, 3. Williamson, 4. Shuttleworth, 5. Shanes (G), 6. Lawlor & 7. Holt Going to be a very difficult one.

He'll be riding for Wolves though, won't he?

Hold on here, Birmingham aren't even doing that. Perry is averaging about 1.5 points more than Hall is in the PL. Hall lost his job at Sheffield after all and yet Peterborough made a double change and still kept Perry! On current form Perry is the better rider and the statistics back that up. Whilst Birmingham, Hall and Perry have all been perfectly clear that once Perry is fit then he'll be back. So then Bowen should've started on his old CL figure, Rutherford on 4.64 from his Newport days etc. But the rules say Bowen should have come on his PL figure converted (which he did), whilst Rutherford, Clifton and Purchase all rode before 2011 so were allowed an assessed figure (which they did). They all followed the rules but the BSPA ignores them for Hall and aren't even applying the 'best interests' principle consistently. How is Hall actually a better rider now than Bowen??

Yep it is. Averages are used from 2011 to 2015 whether it be NL or PL doubled, whichever is higher. Hall has a current PL average but no NL average. Yet they're making a deal out of his 2004 CL average, despite the fact that Bowen was allowed in on his PL average converted (which follows the rules!).

The rules that were voted in allow the signing of Hall! Why should a couple of bloke's opinions on the management committee be allowed to block what the whole eague has decided is fair? If there's an issue surrounding previously established PL riders dropping down, then it should be changed in the rules and looked at in the AGM in the winter. Not halfway through the season, creating different rules for different teams.

One of the riders that they offered a job to was funny

Surely it's simple: if the signing is within the rules then it should be allowed. That's what rules exist for, and none of this 'in the best interests of the sport' nonsense that is purely a couple of people's opinions.

Now confirmed that Hall can't ride because of the average he achieved in the 2004 CL season!!!! Yet Drury points out that the rule book only uses averages attained from 2011 onwards, regardless of the fact that I'm pretty sure the CL didn't even use averages then, it was gradings! This feels like Craig Cook part 2 but maybe the BSPA can brush the lower profile case under the carpet...

No Richard Hall in the NL then.

Have you seen Wilko's home form?

Anyone got a weather update please.

When is NBJ due back?

I didn't realise the age limit was different for non-NL fixtures. So is it 16?

Just watch the NL boys beat Davey & Etheridge!! Also blobby, why isn't Lawlor allowed to ride?

How so? If the Scorpions sign Holub in future they will save 4 team building points yet in reality they haven't lost out on any now because Lyager is effectively replacing Holub as the 7 point man and Toft replaces Poole/Klindt. On another note, a good double move to strengthen the team!

Thanks guys, so my letter of admission should suffice. I'll have to dig it out haha.

Their NL averages this season across all competitions: Ritchings 9.05 & Greenwood 7.45.

So student admission requires an NUS card and a letter? What's this letter all about? I have an NUS card, but what else will I need to produce? Any help appreciated please.

Does this really improve the team? At the start of the season, Greenwood was probably the better option but he's had an indifferent start to the season yet Ritchings has been brilliant in the NL. Plus Ritchings is dialled in to the Ipswich track now whereas Greenwood has to learn a new track. Even if it comes off, as baldyman says you're only looking at 1 or 2 points a meeting more. It strikes me that Ritchings wasn't the problem here.

Whilst Newman is injured and in a heat leader position on a 7.24 average, can Poole have a guest up to his average or does it have to be another EDR?

I pointed this out also and just got shot down.

Thanks for the reminder R & R. Janowski £20 more. Lindgren £10 more.

Borczuch?
