And I thought Willie was the one that may just pass out and sleep in my car rather than go into the b&b 😆😉 (SB had left an hour before) The bar was like a united nations summit with Scotsman representing the East side and Baldy from Essex as well as us locals. Wish I had a set of those translating headphones for Willie 😉 Got to admire your dedication in following your team. The least your hosts can do is make you welcome, buy you a drink and give you a lift at the end of the night 👏👍 Top night all round

This is the classic 'quirk' situation of Speedway. Tungate starts at around 9 and falls to 5 Graversen starts around 3 and improves to 5. But when it comes to who stays Tungate is the better option despite not doing his job whilst Graversen has been better than many expected. Success is all about riders improving their average so Tungate now has 2-3 possible/probable upswing in his average with little or no chance of dropping further (especially if drops to res) Graversen is most unlikely to score more and may well tail off after his positive start. Similar comparison could be set with a Starke/Graversen head to head. Harsh but thats the reality of the choices.

Can only hope for the sake of those that attend that the meeting is at least half as interesting as some of the predictions 😊

seems to be that they are making it up as they go along. IMO it should all set out in black and white before the season started. Supplementary regs a month in etc is poor. It was only changed that the team build total would stay at 40 in Championship all season a few days ago. 👎

that score and scenario would mean neither of them take the tactical ride.Very specific prediction 👍

only for initial declarations.There was some speculation there would be no multiplier but seems it will still be 1.4. In reality it should be 1.25 for the difference in original team build 40/50.

agree - they are the breast team by far 😆

no - multiplier x1.4

I think the answer is yes. Initial declaration had to have Brit at 7 in averages. There after just 2 Brits with no specification of position.

of course - I was thinking they had completed enough for new figures to be coming into effect.

Does the reduction still apply?Thought it was for initial team building only and not when redeclaring.

Ouch!! Pussycats by 20+ 😣

very good points - agree that whilst the contribution of Shanes won us the meeting the performances of Danyon at home so far had been just as impressive. I wouldve expected similar from Danyon and certainly enough for it still to be a Witches win.

which is what we will be left with anyway....

there was no redeclaration only 28 day injury replacement.Kyle is in the Poole 1-7 after the 28 days and Kerr is out. Kyle is back riding so wouldnt be a facility avaialble even if you want one. Kyle looked fine yo me and rode pretty well. Unlucky in his first (fell/laid down) when looked like Sedge was getting into a tangle in front if him. 2 good heats including a smooth and fast win in the middle. Looked like he had a nibble at the start of 14 and penalised himself. Was fast enough but couldnt quite manouvere a pass.Get him back in - he do you proud like he always does. 👍

Every Witches fan was shouting 'sign him up' last night - produced a match winning performance. If only he didnt have those other weekend commitments 😣

Says a lot when you are disappointed not to have stopped Glasgow getting point. Danny is very unlikely to score that low again at home all year. Lots of issues for him tonight. Kyle and Justin will both take a couple of meetings to settle. Cam excellent again. Rory solid again.Connor looks tenatative but will improve. James Shanes was superb. If there is any way to sign him it has to be done. So with all that going on to still win and in all honesty with relative comfort bodes well. Glasgow after all are a very good side and wont be too far away from the mix when the prizes are handed out. Great to meet up with Paulco and Willy again - apologies to the bar staff waiting to lock up 😆

Crazy if it is the case.

When did Chris make his comeback!?Would still make a decent no7 for the Witches mind 😆

suppose it depends on when the redclaration was submitted - perhaps it was before May 1st. Havent looked on BSPA site to check dates. What could also be the case is that although after May 1st new averages could be used (and some including me say should be used) this part if the regs is not being invoked by the MC when considering the redclaration. Of course as a result where we may gain 0.11 with Nico we lose 2.57 with Danyon but cant have it both ways ☺

beerhut i withdraw my thanks - bloody useless eejit 😛

and you were doing so well with your counting yesterday j 😩

Someone told me it was both Edinburgh visits (thank you mrbeerhut) Also when BV visit Swindon on a Thursday night it is on what is a reserved date for us. No fixture as yet but may need to be filled if rain offs or I suppose for KOCup.

arent those words in the wrong order?Shouldnt it be 'take the beer on easy' 😉

highly recommend it. Start a Scunny Massif make some noise - youll love it 📣📯🎺🎤
