What a difference a day makes! Just walked the dogs and had a great view of a sun soaked shimmering River Orwell. Bright blue sky with just a few wisps of cloud and no coat needed!

If we had stayed in the EL then it is entirely possible we wouldnt be riding on any day of the week by now. We may well have been on that growing sad list of towns that used to run speedway. Dont blame the club last night. Very little rain until 7. Only started to get heavier about 7.15. If they had called off in the afternoon and the rain not turned up til 10 as many forecasts stated they wouldve looked foolish.

Track a bit greasy as you would expect but seems fine at the moment. Deceptive though until a wheel is turned in anger so can see what its like under the top surface.

Just in and it seems heavier inside than it was 30 secs ago in the car park! Has to be a big doubt now IMO.

although 'forecast' is really the wrong word once its actually happening!

Just as well its not on Sky - would be off by now just in case!!

as the old saying goes.... .....I'll let you know later.

well if you cant work out the words there seems little point in adding numbers to the debate......Hopefully Holub will be fit to rode on Thursday for you and it wont matter. Always good to have a plan B though...

Quite unbelievable considering how the last few days have been and how the next few are forecast afetr that 5 hour window!! Even more frustrating with no meeting planned for Thursday either. Peterborough on the 14th is the next home match on the list.

No - to both. Anyone that thought my comments were about the crash itself is in a very blissful place!

well they do say ignorance is bliss........

no question about the crash and injury - best wishes to Holub.

NoI think even you can work it out.

Has Holub done enough meetings for a revised average yet? If not that could explain it......

This is where it depends on whether the brit reduction for Lewis counts in the team pisitioning or not! Only one of Morten or Worrall can take r/r but which one????? Need ref to confirm before the start....

Great news. Glad you can all still enjoy your speedway after all.

you could replace them but only with a rider from the draft lists.

seems like Joes stinker was almost the only thing that went your way!Good luck to Jojo - hope he can get back on it. Kings Lynn on the other hand......

Aces to turn the Stars over by 4.

Doh! Im using the 2.5% brit reduction instead of 5%! Feck knows then! Edit - of course the BSPA lists may be wrong.... Check Rohan 7.75 + 5% = 5.something!!

Brit reduction in Lewis average is only for team building purposes. For team positioning and therefore facility his full average counts. Hence a guest was available upto 7.19 (7.03 + 5%) and not hos listed 6.85 + 5%. He is above Morten when assessing who can take r/r. So Nico Morten Sarj and a reserve allowed.

id say the last thing he needs to do is hit the ground......

anytime soon then....

Of course we should really know by now Isnt it the case that the home team has to declare 5 days ahead?

Brit reduction for Lewis means for team building average is below Morten but his true CMA and therefore his team positioning is higher. For me it comes down to the best choice to win the match. Its vital not to lose at home again. So if Chris and Ritchie think a guest is the best option it should be a guest. If they think r/r would do better then it should be r/r. Depends on who is actially available.
