Good to see the pussycats back to a full seven.

Its amazing that Nico has managed to exceed expectations given that most people expected so much in the first place. He certainly is a character and an entertainer - traits that are equally as important as points when it comes to gettings punters through the turnstiles IMO.

Hope this is the start of an exciting and rewarding second half of the season.

Very happy with that. Good result and an entertaining meeting. Thought ref got a couple right and a couple wrong re the starts. Gate 1 was so much better than any other it looked like a jump even when it wasnt!

Blue skies and sunshine in Foxhall Road at 4!! Just the odd fluffy cloud - hopefully we have got away without any nasty stuff now??

Just a few spits in Foxhall Road in the last hour but barely wet the paths. Now brightening again anyway! 2 hours from now (4pm ish) will be the test - thats when the whole sky will fall in if some of the forecasts are correct!!

I am right in thinking this is due to be Rob Lamberts 4th away meeting?? New average will then apply 7 days later. (finally!!)

he doesnt have an established average from 2014 so would fall foul of the same rule. This is making me feel a bit unwell as I find myself on the side of the pussycats on this one! Gold star to Northyorksbear though - you were spot on!

Agree with the above - LC should be finished by end July / early August at the latest. Just because its my club that may benefit from delaying the semi doesnt change my view on that.

Id settle for 50-40 SB!! Just need to steady the ship,get all 7 back on board and set sail for play off island!! Good luck to Cam and Ash especially.

So in all likelyhood its us causing the issue this time and not Edinburgh!

and not the only example of poor wording - in fact tgere are many poor/ambiguous ramblings within it IMO.However Im with the Pussycats on this one!! Clearly the average used should be his current one in this instance and not his start of year figure.

here we go again!!

I echo the thoughts that this team is more than capable of getting to the play offs and then being competitive when they do. Half term report is "could do better" but can still get top marks in the end of year exam with some hard work.

I hope your not right on that one. Totally echo the wish for a good recovery.Would be good to see him bow out on his own terms rather than being forced by injury. It does however bring into focus the MC decision to sanction him as a replacement as it significantly enhances the r/r / guest /new rider options . This is the real impact of choosing not to implement the available regulation at redeclaration.

Im a relative newcomer to the forum in many ways and I didnt know Sharron. However as you pick through the dynamic of places like the BSF you soon get a feel for those who use or in some cases previously extensively used it. Some of those names seem to weave into the fabric of the forum and become its 'folklore' so to speak. Shazzy appears to me to be one of those. My thoughts go to all her family and friends. RIP.

can see all points of view on this one in reality. Just think the LC should be done and dusted by now let alone the semis not happening until September.

Its been a difficult week but has ended well...... lets all laugh at the Pussycats!!

Why no Howe??

he got there last year .....

Sept 5th is ridiculously late to have a LC semi but then to be missing a rider because it clashes with a known international date is quite unbelievable!

In my defence for any meeting so far even if there were 7 riders named at least one failed to show up!! wink

Agree - you would hope Mildenhall is on his list.
