Can Rory even cross his fingers?

Indeed it isnt to your advantage - thats why I said I should stop going on about it! However if my reasoning backs Boro it shows I must think its right

Surely if he has an established Championship average it should be used He cant be neither assessed nor established Anyway not sure why Im going on as it would work in Boro's favour

But could be given a reassessment upon a redeclaration using his 2017 meetings and any to date in 2018 if the MC so chose.....

Each to their own - I quite liked it

I have my humble pie ready if needed!

You should be more careful in the sun Baldy. I have a spare hat - will bring it for you Thursday

I was trying to avoid calling you mediocre

Berwick have a better chance than usual Witches need to dig deep and get the job done

Another slant is that Lambert qualifying could give Bewley a better chance in the future The better British riders do the more slots we may be allocated and the more likely wlidcard/replacement picks will come our way Again not something Dan should be sorting out in his mind on the day but the job of the Brit support team

Certainly an eventful day for Bewley. Im sure he will have learnt a lot He also did very very well IMO and it bodes well for the future I dont blame him re the Lambert qualification issue - I blame the British support teams. When stuations such as this present themselves it is from within those ranks the clear head and bigger picture foresight is needed

I guarantee no other country in the world would have let this happen with Lambert needing a win to progress We really are the best at making things hard for ourselves

Can the speedway fans just pay for that or do they need a festival day ticket?

There are times Im not sure you have a clue - thank you for removing any doubt

I said when he was confirmed that hus first average would be 7.something but he would end the year at 9.something First bit was right - I reckon the second wont be far out either

Hugely impressed by Flint last night Was IMO the best aside from Bewley in terms of looking like a real racer Loved his all action style

Only for those that dont ride in them

He got 1 point in heat 15 which would have marginally reduced his average so your claim has a whiff of BS about it

Seems to have lost the plot in the last couple of seasons His full season at Ipswich saw him at 5.5 without bonus points over 6 with. Towards the end of that stint he was looking like he had made a breakthrough

You jest but if he wasnt listed in the team then to use him will require sanction Should be a no brainer tick box exercise though......

Hope Neilsen got a good signing on fee and points deal as likely only get 8 meetings If he is averaging 6+ at that point and facing going into the 1-5 he will be prime to be dumped just before the deadline...

Plan A of course But when you bring in a No1 at nearly 10 points that is unlikely to be achieved then when that plays out you need to be ready with Plan B The change to include the shield meetings has hastened this and favours you - particularly if Grondals 0.7 improvement is not factored in on redeclaration (as it could and should be)

How do you make that out? Qualification in the shield is in your own hands whilst those fixtures being included in the averages also mean that the change can be made earlier enough in the league campaign to make it count Seems like not a bad position to be in to me

Perhaps its about time the nails stopped being added and the sport as we know it has a proper burial Could then have a chance for resurrection Whilst the coffin continues to be paraded in a never ending procession whilst everyone wails in limbo that resurrection cant/wont happen

One big league at approx 35 point Championship level No more big boys Development league/s level to continue below
