1 Scrap tactical ride from the tapes, if you are 10 points behind and want to gamble you can put in a substitute from 15m (1 per match away team only) 2 Teams must track 7 riders, if r/r in place a no 8 must be named and take at least 1 r/r ride 3 Delays should be kept to a minimum. if start in unsatisfactory riders must return to tapes straight away 4 All PL teams must track a 3 point British NL eligible rider at no 7

yep, it was the official entrance i went through, i got my little ticket and programme from the lady on the gate

I got to the track at 8.45 having been to Cricket (only decided to go when i saw delay for mascots injury) and i went in the pit gate and was charged £16 for the 1 meeting - got in just in time for heat 1!

No Brum or Scunny meeting that day so would not be a shock to see Josh Auty guesting for Olly on saturday.

i was forgetting some teams have actually riden enough meetings for proper averages!. Shame as usual the young brit gets axed rather than a foreigner!

impossible unless Adam ave is 3.76 or less!

This once again shows the folly of not naming a 'additional rider' or no8 in old money when you are running r/r. Had len chosen to use one of the young kent king's as a no8 they could at least have stepped in at no2 and may even have beaten one of sheffield bottom 3 riders.

no , keeping lambert in team Allen 9.62 mear 7.40 mellgren 6.47 nelson 5.33 garrity 4.67 lambert 4.41 lykke 4.28 =42.18

Current team 2.58 below limit, Bunyan 5.14 so Mear would fit with current 6 riders if he replace Bunny.

last year it was 3rd feb according to archive on BSPA site

Len not one for making changes unless forced on him so unless Nelson has visa issues again or a bad injury occurs he won't makes any changes until Luke comes available

Kennett based on final greensheet of 6.25 would be 10.42 if 60% conversion remains. based on Mellgren,Garrity,Bunyan,Lykke and Nelson being probables Len has 16.49 points to play with so if Kennett was added he would have 6.05 for the last rider.

When he rode for Rye I think Kyle Hughes was a Coventry asset.

Garrity in main body of team is another downer, Kasper 'cant gate' Lyyke and Rambo Lambo having to take a minimum of 9 rides between them does not inspire confidence although at least Sheffield is one of Rambo's former home tracks.

Rye v Ippo this sat, Sheffield is sat 13th!

No way will Uncle Len track a team with 6 foreign riders

In reply to the question why would Robbo leave Newcastle, their current team is 1.1 over the points limit so someone has to miss out & as far as I know Robbo is a lakeside asset not a newcastle one. When he came back from that horrendous injury he didn't want to ride in the premier due to issues with safety fences but said he would love to have another season at Rye in the future.with regards to Kasper I was indicating my team fitted with him at that average not that he should be left out if he doesn't fit. I Garrity improves at the same rate as the past few meetings Bunyan would soon be back at reserve anyway!

How about Charlie Gjedde 9.22 Stuart Robson 8.20 Anders Mellgren 6.46 Nelson 5.33 Jason Bunyan 5.14 Jason Garrity 4.57 leaving 3.58 if Kasper can get a proper average around that figure

Unless Rye can win at least one of the remaining home meetings I can see us finishing bottom, Sheffield now have 26 pts with 1 meeting left with Rye on 24. Hopefully the painful lessons have been learnt this year and we can build a team to the points limit in 2013 rather than one that is 2 points under!

Will probably be one of 2 new boys at wolves in a d/up role, both were due to trial in the ace of hearts last year and at the moment Wolves only have 1 double up pair.

Travis is having permit problems as he lives in Sweden rather than home in aus & the problem with him, Mear & Nillson is their clubs already have 2 doubling up riders. Charlie Chedder would fit with about.07 to spare

We called Frampton Katie after about 2 meetings in 2010!!

Does anyone know any fixtures for this year other than Ippo on 15 & 17th March? And any idea when full fix list will be available?
