  1. M1992 - Kyles 'victory' laps may have been something to his dad sitting in the stand with the Witches Massif whilst celebrating his birthday Always good to see Mr N Snr
  2. Altered over the winter Ironically probably due to the KOCup final last year when Ipswich lost a rider in each leg when already using rr and now possibly the first team to utilise the change
  3. Very much personal opinion. I defended Baldy as I know its his genuine opinion of racing at Arena. I dont actually agree with him. I have enjoyed many meetings at Arena although it is much more enjoyable when rooting for the home team! Whilst supporting the Witches it is generaly less attractive!
  4. So he would be old enough to form an opinion from day 1.....
  5. New averages already in place Rolling and include 2017 now again too
  6. As I mentioned above Cam Heeps took an IRR and a RR and a heat 15 last night so its certainly 1 of each allowed. Taking 1 option does not exclude another
  7. Should be average match points In 3 team group points ÷ 4 In 4 team group points ÷ 6 Whichever of Sheff and Scunny cant be best 2nd if Boro beat Ipswich in their last fixture In the other group it is still possible for Glasgow or Worky to top the group and the other to better Boro average (although it may be September before that group is completed )
  8. The hasty reuntroduction of rolling averages to include 2017 meetings mustve been for a reason Perhaps there was some caught wind of who was planned to be released when Holder could return and it was decided to make it more difficult.....
  9. No conclusive evidence of a break from original x-ray Danny returns to the fracture clinic fir a 2nd opinion today Lets hope the first repirts are right
  10. Just heard from bruv who went to see Danny last night Hopefully some good news but needs 2nd opinion at fracture clinic today - original x-ray revealed no conclusive evidence of a break Lets hope that is confirmed as correct
  11. Sponsored by accidentline.com? Is speedway missing a trick
  12. Very true Mr P It was a long and unusual night so please forgive me! My post was very much backing yours that 1 of any of the option does not prevent the use of the other (subject to the 7 rides max of course )
  13. Cam Heeps took rr irr and heat 15 tonight It was only cup rules preventing him from getting the full set with a ts
  14. All will be well for you lot on Sunday when the patched up walking wounded Witches arrive for you to gain revenge with a home thrashing of your own
  15. Not sure of the extent of Dannys break yet The swelling was too great immediately to be able to tell on the spot
  16. The regs do indeed make no mention of serious illness or emergencies relating to family members and I agree therefore do not cover Richatds situation Equally Lakesides statement makes no mention either and so was incomplete and open to scrutiny It didnt need to give details but just be accurate. It implied his illness was the reason. It shouldve explain it was compassionate dispensation. No one wouldve argued with that or demanded further information in those circumstances
  17. Witches need to improve vastly on the shield performances (home and away) to stand any chance Confident of seeing improvement but not so sure it will be vast enough Can see a lead of only 6-8 being overhauled by a Hammers 12+ win
  18. But it was there! The statement was 'Lawson misses Berwick due to illness' The reg states 'non speedway injury - 7 day suspension from day of meeting' Therefore it wasnt naive or stupid to question the fact that the suspension was not invoked The statement maybe wasnt inaccurate but certainly was incomplete and open to scrutiny
  19. I had to do a double take - at first I thought it was gate 1 at the showground from last year Witches visit
  20. Questioning the position was perfectly acceptable given the specific change in the regulation over the winter concerning riders missing meetings due to illness The statement wasnt (in hindsight) inaccurate but that is only confirmed now that the full facts have come to light It was certainly not half witted to do so particularly given the regular ongoing manipulations that are sadly endemic in the sport It would be naive to take on face value the statement from almost any club in the land!!
  21. The regulations stated (and still do!!) that only league meetings count towards averages The decision to include shield meetings has been added post season start and a supplementary reg is pending Without this change Nico would still be 7.49 and a guest allowed Exactly when the change and by whom it was sanctioned is a mystery. Certainly seems that it was not expected by our promotion.....
  22. Revised green sheet averages have already been released 4 home 4 away no longer being applied (apart from non 2017 riders) Back to 20 meeting rolling averages including 2017 meetings
  23. In the Championship home and away once league format will mean 20 matches
