Doesnt matter what team you build Rocketben I will still predict a Witches win by 20! winking smiley!

If the first leg is called off presumably they will forfeit a home leg? There would obviously be no other option available to them going by the comments on here! wink

I can see Edinburghs frustration as they have ready to race for a fortnight. However I remember last year when Ipswich were ready in June for the cup semi and were kept waiting til September by the Monarchs. Funny how opinions change when the boot is on the other foot!

Cam update.... First check went well - bone knit already better than would be expected so soon after. Also has more movement than expected at this stage. New cast fitted. Good news - just needs to take care and do as little as possible with it!

surely its down to Somerset todecide what they want and for Edinbyrgh to fit in around them. Of course a Redcar shock and its problem solved!

That figure of just under 1000 seems to be the norm unfortunately - Eastbourne quoted as similar recently also. No club can afford to lose any off that number and those that do make the extra effort deserve any reward they get.

out of interest and with no hidden agenda - what is the average attendance at DP?

If the rumoured lower points limit comes in you woukd just need the three 3 pointers to complete that team.

From the description of the workings of these covers it seems they would actually work better keeping the moisture IN a track during hot/dry weather!! Prep it and cover it and they sweat and stop a dust bowl!!

Well done Newcastle. A hard earned 3 points if updates anything to go by! What do Somerset need to score at Redcar to progress?

Surely it doesnt hurt to speculate on and debate possibilties or put together fantasy scenarios?

Good luck to both sides - hope the weather holds fine from now til its done. Hoping for a Diamonds win so the Rebels at least have to work for it at Redcar.

I can see you point re Richie but believe you have many more positives yhan negatives. You may well have slipped a few points in 13 + 15 but how many gained in 2 8 12 + 14?

Come off it - the average situation has allowed you to build stronger. Worrall was a 9 point rider in 6 point clothing which meant you could have 4 7 pointers to fill the top 5 rather than another 4 pointer. This also meant that when you have had r/r it has been easier to cover than usual. And finally also because of this the sensational progress of Kerr has stayed at reserve when with that extra 4 pointer he wouldve moved up. Id say you have gained more than lost from Richies starting average.

I hope it was a Witch Jonny! wink

A good detailed description from Englishroundabout for us neutrals to get a feel for the meeting but for me the most important part in the context of who may well end up with their hands on the trophy are the last few words ....' all firing at the same time'. The Rebels of course have been strong all year but seem to step up a level where needed. However the nature of the beast is that it only takes one bad night at Redcar and it could be all for nought so chins up Diamonds fans it not all over yet.

The time could be right given the likely recalibration of the cost structure and the 'top league' seemingly needing more teams to make it work. Im sure we would still need a big injection of sponsorship to do it though. Perhaps this is the change Chris is talking about. Personally Id be quite happy to stay as is unless we can be sure of being competitive.

What is the cut off date for the group fixtures?

So if we did rejoin along with Leicester thats 12. Sheffield up for sale so anything could happen with that one. The numbers could stack up for a mid April (NZ GP 5th April) to end September season once home and away plus a cup comp.

I have a way to help you feel better about this WK. In the GP threads you bang the drum for qualifers only. So if you think of the league system and play off groups as qualifers then you get the rightful finalists.

and there in lies the problem for British Speedway. If Adam who is seen as one of the brightest prospects the country has is finding sponsors difficult to find then its easy to understand why all are struggling. Best of luck to Adam wherever he is next year and for securing some good back up over the winter.

logical - he has history of being picked ahead of more worthy candidates! wink

. perhaps all three may turn out to be the case!!

A tidy little piece - but thats enough about Susanna what about the interview! I thought Tai came across really well highlighting his family sacrifices his injury battle and his tats. Good on ya fella!

possibly - she was certainly impressed with the size of his gong!
