one has to be r/r though under current rules.6 would be a decent effort though! Could happen in the EL. Leicester will come close in the next couple of weeks.

When meetings drag out it can be a pain in the backside. If its cold and damp then it can be unpleasant and you can understand people getting peeved with it. However on a balmy summers evening surely its no bad thing anyway. Relax, chat with your mates and enjoy it. And at the end of the little siesta you have more Speedway to enjoy - happy days!!

you beat me to it!! The first one could be Nicki v Greg (or anyone that gets in his way) , the third one could be the inspection of Smolinskis ignition system.

They are waiting to face the winners of Sheff/Berwick in the QF. Sheff leg has been rained off three times so far!! Newcastle are waiting for the winners of Rye/Glasgow for the other QF. Then the semi from the winner of each those. Looks like a late October final again for whoever gets there!!

Where there is a big difference and why I would agree with Arson on this one is the way it has been implemented. The American sports are a long term plan on a rotational basis and properly formulated so that in time the additional fixtures will be an equal number against all sides from the other divisions/conferences. The Speedway set up is an ad hoc possible 1 season idea brought in when it looked like the league may be a team short. IF it continues next year then Id be 99% sure that my Witches side will have extra fixtures against Rye and Boro again rather than a rotation to include Edinburgh and Glasgow for example. Therefore 'only Speedway' is correct IMO

but Edinburgh in the semi final if you do make it through.

very much still in it.

Somehow managed to miss the semi split.Didnt think that the QFs had been paired up. From the teams left you would certainly pick Plymouth if you were given the option so good news. They are a hot n cold side though - when they are good they can be very good but equally can be very poor.Can take nothing for granted but the Witches should expect to win through to the final.

Is it Plymouth?? The BSPA site doesn't show a semi final draw.

Excellent performance and very encouraging looking forward. Well done to all the boys.

Thank you and good night!! only 4 heats out.

I expect us to go through but I dont presume it will be comfortable.

He is due 10 points. Scores for each round 0 2 4 6 and then 8 in the qualifier. What are the bookies giving for him at 10?

3 changes so very different. Worrall Schramm and R-R out. Vissing Morten and Greaves in. Worrall scored 4 R-R 5 and Schramm 1 last time.

would be very nice. Has there been a distinct advantage for 1&3 or 2&4 at OTA this year? Is winning the toss likely to have any impact?

I agree SB its definitely not all over. Hopefully it will be by about heat 8.

of course there is pressure on the Rebels.They have hit 60+ in 5 of the last 6 home meetings - if they dont again tonight then it has to be seen as a failure..

presumably one of the two the mickey mouse extra fixtures added at the winter conference.

Most people want to see Edinburgh beaten if only to give everyone some hope but I say let them have one more. Dont think I could stomach it from the usual suspects if Worky are the first to do it! (big cheesey smiley with a little wink)

Many may think it safe to assume Greaves will score 0 (who knows though from the little Ive seen of him he looks quick out front but can he get there in the first place?)meaning two scoring 5 and four getting 4 is whats needed. If just one is really on the pace and scores 11 then the others only need 3 each. Sounds easy but nothing can be taken for granted as Somerset are capable of doing whats needed. The Witches need to start well and not let the Rebels get a sniff of blood. Only 24 hours to wait before we all get the answers. Up the Witches!!

so imperious that he had to cheat to win - a bit of a contadiction in that somewhat!

Looks like Jo will have to make sure his average drops below Greenwood to be sure to keep his place then! Strange this Speedway lark sometimes eh?

the score will be nothing like that as no tacticals. Somerset are so good at home that you wouldnt be surprised if they win big but I hope for it to be a bit closer. Would be happy with 55-35 to be honest.

A proper kerb should be compulsory IMO.

Lawson Doolan Auty Lindgren Wolbert all at no1 and have had meetings like this and Morris Fisher Kennett not far off something similar occaisionally. Thats why they average 7-8.5 and not 9.5-10. At least with Worrall you see the potential that he could/should move into that next bracket. Support and back him is the way forward IMO and certainly not hound and sack him.
