I would like to see Nielsen given a go if we go for NL guests.Someone mentioned Lubos Tomicek would fit. As a temp injury replacement he could be worth a go.At reserve he could do a decent job as he rides Foxhall quite well.

Very true - I forgot they had signed him!!

Ashley Morris you may be thinking of perhaps?

If I were to call myself Dr Fueultaps and and then shout about how pleased I was to be one would that make me fully qualifed??!!

The thing is that these dates are not just blank weeks - they are designated as reserved dates for rain offs and cup rounds. Taking Edinburgh as an example presumably they have given permission to riders to arrange these holidays (??) If so why given they knew if they progressed in the cup they could be up against a team where the reserved date was for that week!!

Surely when you are a professional in a sport that takes place for only 6 months of the year and has a known history of short notice rescheduling of fixtures then you dont go booking holidays?!Perhaps promotions should also be doing more to plan the rearrangements earlier. This is not a dig at the Monarchs in isolation but more of a general observation.

Hopefully Kevin may see your request and be able to post it up for all to see in black and white.

Well done Kevin Long. A superbly written and presented tribute to John Berry tonight.

No room for anyone else with you in permanent residence!!!

So the first 14 heats are drawn and the Witches team pack in 2nd and 3rd earning 14 bonus points.Then in 15 they concede a 2-4. Do the Witches win the meeting 58-46??? No they lose 44-46!!! What a plank you are!!

Proof of what a fool you are.Dont you realise bonus points dont count towards the score?!!

I applaud Aljack for a least setting out a constructive theory as this rarely is the case. As Mr S has pointed out the practacalities are somewhat different and this shows that Aljack also owns a pair of those rose tinted specs that he so often accuses others of wearing!!

I was so close to pushing the like button to the Ajack post which was shaping up to be a fitting tribute to a great man. Shame the dig in brackets let it down. (Mod Note ; Comment referred to has now been removed)

And there was me thinking Joe had slimmed down a bit this year!!

Random but more factual than any Aljerk post!

I bet Nicki clatters someone!!

Most but not all - as you prove all too often!!

A reply like a Nicki Pedersen pass - hard and will get people debating if its fair!! All bar Leigh can take r/r ride in place of Dak tonight.

r/r may well be favourite with Dak now out.

Quite possibly you're not wrong here!

Probably comes down to the fact that if Doolan stayed he would go to No1 for August and there was less confidence in his scoring there than Leigh at No3.

Average is too high surely. About 5.6 in elite equates to over 9 in Premier.

Recalling Taylor right now is a big risk. Perhaps it will be someone else. I hear that dane Ramus is in the country but was not planning to ride. Maybe that might change. Anybody know anything more concrete??

Id imagine at least half a dozen clubs will be in line hoping to sign him as a third heat leader on that kind of averageA likely bargain in that position.
