Aside from the deadline day fiasco and failed dropping I actually think he was given every respect from the club. His points scoring was down on expectations. Dont forget he came in on the 2nd highest average but was ridden in a 2nd string position. That can happen and he was given time and plenty of it - too much many would say. What isnt acceptable is lack of effort and he seemed to show that many times. Dipping out of first bends and rolling off the throttle, coasting round and giving up or barely able hold off inexperienced reserves and certainly not capable of catching let alone challenging his peers. No doubt he took a number of hefty knocks and picked up injuries but he it seems either 1)Chose to hide the true extent of these and thus not return that initial faith and patience with honesty 2)Simply didnt give one and was deliberately taking the P 3)He had lost it between the ears. He comes across as a very hit/miss confidence rider and was 'shot' Personally Id go for a combination of 1 and 3 The decision to change came at least a month too late due to the club wanting to show some faith and respect. Unfortunately when the time came it was a disaster zone that no one can be proud of (except Connor who acted with maturity and dignity beyond his years) So whilst the way his time ended was lamentable he did deserve to be losing his place.

Id estimate total attendances for the last 4 meetings (semis and finals) to be around 12,500 which would be the same as a number of clubs attracted for their whole season. Whilst the results didnt go our way on track there was a great atmosphere , a real buzz not matched for a long long time, and provides an amazing opportunity to build on going forward.

Well if Sedges form continued in the direction as it was heading he would end up at no7 as listed 😜

Wasnt the advice re £500 regards to the fine that could be expected for each match Holder missed (for fielding under strength side). The £40,000 fine doesnt relate to the missed matches directly but is regards a disrepute charge. So did Ged ask Godfrey how much is the fine for Holder missing matches or did he ask about whether he would face a dusrepute charge? Thats where the crux of the case lays as to who is in the right for me.

Congrats to Jason Doyle 👏👏 Lets hope we see the new WC in British Speedway in 2018 whether its at Swindon or elsewhere

No difference to Peterborough but would at least meant Holder got what shouldve been coming to him for taking the P

Thats why Im saying in its component parts. An engine here a frame there etc rather than a physical whole bike. Ive seen it with my own eyes at Ipswich this year.....

Im sure there are a number of promotions that effectively have 'a track spare' It may be broken down into its component parts rather that fully built but its still there.

Of course - silly me!

Reckon 2 of Flappys 7 will be at Foxhall whichever league we are in

With speedway in mind it could be 'Follow the leader' But I think you have the follow up in mind

just under 40 at a guess

No Connor Mountain for Mildy again Aggravated his shoulder injury last night

the sort of thing you would bet your wages on? - if you had any.....

certainly could be swapling Lambert for Lambert

To be fair Boro matched the Witches spirit at the end and that pulled them through. Starke Harris Barker and Lambert all winning a heat when it mattered.

Hairline fracture of the left wrist for Danny. He managed to get on his way home at 2am is planning to see a fracture specialist today.

bugger me I hate being right so often 😠

If Im wrong Id be surprised - but I wont lose any sleep over it either way 👍

Hopefully for both clubs....

Fantastic atmosphere at both legs and largely good natured. If only speedway could get back to that being the norm.....

Another around the 4000 mark as per the Grand Final

Prepare to be disappointed...

No Holder if they move up

Unfortunately British Speedway doesnt learn and he already has a contract in his pocket for 2018 - Im sure that has made him feel better 👎
