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.

You lazy so and so - pull your finger out !! On Thursday it seemed Rohan wanted to play the game as well though !!

So after Leicester last night I believe the cut off for Augusts green sheets has been reached. Has anyone plugged in the numbers?

I certainly accept your point of view on this.With the likes of Chris and Donkey around who were superb starters you would think there would be more hands on coaching. Even experienced riders as ours are would benefit as they wont always realise those little things that are just not quite right. Of course Chris wasnt there last week to do this.

What good did the practice actually do? Those that did go out just put it round mid track at 3/4 throttle.Perhaps just a bit of PR to show willing and no more. If we had seen them just concentrate on starts or tried different lines etc then may have been some point to it.

Even Leigh were to score 12 from 5 in each of the next 3 meetings his RA will drop so it is as good as given he wont be number 1 in August.
