Looking at it from outside as a neutral Im surprised Newcastle fans are being quite so critical The expectation from most was that the Diamonds would struggle to be competitive home or away - that certainly hasnt been the case in the main Yes Lindgren is struggling away but realistically on his average he cannot be expected to regularly beat the home heat leaders. At home he has been generally very good Also having him top the averages has meant a solid reserve which has been an advantage to offset some potential fragility with him at 1 Tradtionally Newcastle have tracked strong sides and no doubt will do all within their power to be as competitive as possible this year even when circumstances make it more of a challenge. Im sure there have been frustrations with planned changes not coming to fruition through no fault of their own

Freudian slip there? If only there was a profit to make a prophecy about!

Nico would be an absolute steal on 4.85....

And in return Tom could help Scott with his gating.....

Was Graversen a direct replacement for Josh after the temp 28 day r/r or was a further 28 day injury facility granted?

Has a certain ring to it I agree...

Rode a terrible turn 1&2 after a decent start in heat 1 to end up at the back Passed by forceful moves up the inside in 2nd and 3rd rides where he just left too big a gap Paid win in his last Probably a yard off putting the bike in the right place in each of those first 3 from a paid max!

Im not sure Jengas too worried about anything Sid - dont take it all so seriously! Sarj did a decent job tonight - Id have him back as a Witch. There plenty more there than he has shown in the last 2 years.

He led heat 1 J - only for the first 20 yards but he led it

He led both opponents in every heat....

I thought Wayne chose some highly intelligent fans to interview too!!

Rory - simply sublime - as convincing a performance as you are likely to see Sarj - musical statue champion at the start all night Could easily have had more points Cam - frustratingly just off the boil. Not that far away from getting back to where he should be - it will come Im sure Nico - well deseved man of the match for his fantastic stalking of Wright before blasting round him to win Danny - staggering he is even out on track to be fair! Unlucky with a carb problem whilst leading his first race Conner - best Foxhall meeting in many ways for the way he attack the track. Expensive night with a complete write off of an engine blow up after he had repassed Shanes in 14 Danyon - 2 great wins after a heat 2 fall. Very good to see that Danyon back! The 10 point winning margin flattered Sheffield a bit

There was also the 'Wheels' programme on Anglia

And it must have suited at least 7 others to vote with them to get it passed.....

15 heats would take 3 hours+ with that system which makes it a no goer regardless of whether its a good idea otherwise or not.....

Full guest facility

Which is exactly why I bang on about 'team redeclaration protocol' To me it would make much more sense that if when any team redclares that all avearges are adjusted to the up to date figures including all meetings regardless of cut off dates

Im not sure Nico knows any other way than 100% every race! Those extra outings were much needed although it didnt seem he was too rusty! Decent scores and hopefully we will now benefit from a fit and enthusiastic Nico

Very few others with suitable lower average are not riding Wilkinson Wethers are 2 that were alternatives After that ??

Morley is currently injured

Hopefully Nico will be there too - Italy qualifying for the SON final would seem unlikely even if he (hopefully) does well himself at BV

Fully accept that and my first posts were in total agreement it was the right eay forward However the more the debate developed the less convincing the reasons have become The regs dont state its allowed although granted they dont specifically state its not!!

Good luck to Nathan - deserves a Championship spot

In most cases I would agree but in this case there is some merit It should be in the championship that things like Brit only reserves should start as well as min Brit quota etc

Kennett is listed in the 1-7 on latest BSPA issue There is nothing in the regs about allowing reverting to a previous line up. Only subsequent redeclaration Of course there is the catch all final reg of that section - the 'in the best interests' one - which could allow Emil to be accepted back even though he is unavailable......
