Just reading the website and it's on about us getting outgated. Need to take some pointers from Nicolai on that one. Mind I think when he was warned for jumping the start it was just as bad in the re-run which was let go. How many meetings do probation referees need to do to qualify?

Just watching the GP. Think this is the first GP since round 6 in 2016 that Tai has had 2 gate 4's in the qualifiers. Not bad considering you have a 25% chance in every GP (pretty bored with the meeting so far).

I think Plymouth was/is the same with different start and finish lines. So the ref is in line with the start at the beginning of the race and the finishing line at the end of the race does he walk to the other side of the referees box during the race?

Was looking good when we were 4 down after heat 8. Not so good after losing the last 7 heats 31-11.

Did Berwick not use Luke Ruddock last year as a NL guest?

Just been reading about Ty in the speedway star and was thinking about him making David Howe take drastic action to avoid going through the fence and having Theo Pijper bouncing of home straight fence a couple of times. I was wondering if on these occasions he was thinking about the unwritten rule between riders?

Looks interesting on the rolling averages on the B.S. site. Has Kev 0.07 above Spud. There is also only 0.25 between 4 riders with Jye the bottom one on 5.72. If they stay the same Kev will be at number 1 and Jye will be back to reserve.

Think Berwick have been stopped at least a couple of times. 1st time I think was Moggo or Banger (or both). Think also David Meldrum and another that I have forgotten.

That's probably the fairest way as removing the bottom team scores from the points and having fewer teams in your group will favour that team. Peterborough 46.25 - Others 43.75 Sheffield. 48.167 - Others 41.667 Glasgow 45.333 - Others 44.333 Sheffield have a points difference per match off 6.5 points so they should go through.

Think McIlkenny was 2nd in heat 1 then had 2 lasts. In his 2nd heat was trying different lines to pass Blair but couldn't. In his 3rd heat he was again pushing Blair for a couple of laps before slowing down a bit (not sure of the reason).

If you said to Berwick fans at the start of the season their results in the league up to the end of June were as follows most would probably take them. Berwick 4. Newcastle 3 Berwick 3. Redcar 3 Berwick 3. Sheffield 3 Berwick 3. Lakeside 3 Berwick 3. Ipswich 0

Don't know about events over 2 days but Tottenham finished above Real Madrid in the group stage of the Champions League and Real went on to win the competition while Tottenham only got to the last 16. Al least we got a silver medal for our efforts which is more than Spurs got. Portugal sneaked through with 3 draws at Euro 2016 but still won the competition. Happens in loads of sports until tennis format is applied or you get rid of finals/best runner up etc.

Greensheet averages still show John in the team (maybe job sharing for when Theo is on longtrack duty). Theo and Matty are still in the Redcar team (release 10 from today).

Jonas B Andersen was late in arriving. Heat 1 would be a good 5 minutes later than the previous week against Newcastle.

Don't get a guest for one second string missing. we should try Newcastle's rules and try giving Busk an RR ride (his average is below Jye from tomorrow and Newcastle got an extra day for Lewis Rose taking time out the sport).

Think I seen on Kieran's Facebook page he is on standby to be number 8 so probably not racing. The good thing is they can probably give Jye a while longer to see how he is nearer start time if it's close to racing or not.

Funny results between GB and Russia. Both teams 5-1'd Poland and Australia, 4-2'd Sweden and Germany and had a 3-3 with Denmark (with a different race partner).

It was your fellow Newcastle fan who brought the point up about the function running out not me. I had no idea if Newcastle had another 28 day facility or not but as another Newcastle fan has basically said, if they have it should have been confirmed to the fans before Sunday's meeting. #justsayinglike Since I have taken exception could you explain why Newcastle fans are saying that a 28 day facility run out after 29 days. Could you confirm what facilities are available to teams when a rider takes time out/retires? Could you also confirm what other teams have had an extension to the facility for a rider retiring?

Not sure what you are on about as it is the Ipswich home match where the facility would have started (on 6th May) not the Ipswich away match (26th April) or the Sheffield home meeting (April 29th). Newcastle had an injury guest for Sheffield but Lewis retired/ took time out the next day (April 30th). As I said earlier could you tell me what facility was used for the Ipswich home match (Kevin Doolan guesting and RR for Stuart) if it wasn't the start of the 28 days?

The comment was mainly aimed at Ruffdiamond with his car-park comment. However in a 28 day period there is four Sundays. Newcastle v Berwick was the fifth Sunday

It will be 7 days at the "end of a meeting". You are already there for a meeting in the first place. Some teams have a licence to run once a week. They don't get stopped by the council saying you run last Sunday so you are not allowed to run this Sunday.

According to the speedway star (dated May 5) Dale Allitt was shocked when he received a call from Lewis on the Thursday when "it was obvious there were big problems". This will be the night at Ipswich (April 26th). They changed their team on the Friday morning (April 27th). Newcastle had 2 guests against Sheffield on Sunday 29th April (M. P. Toft and L. Kerr). The 2 riders missing from their team were Stuart and Lewis. He then said on the Monday (30th April) he was taking time out from the sport. Could you advise me what facility Newcastle had against Ipswich on 6th May if it wasn't the start of the 28 day facility because he obviously had no intention of racing?

Can I use your calculator the next time I go on holiday? When I was away I paid for 7 nights and that was from Tuesday night to Monday night. The airport parking was for 8 days though.

I have said Newcastle first used the facility against Ipswich on 6th May. If that was day 1 then would day 28 not be 2nd June at Berwick. I would have thought day 29 would be 3rd June (Newcastle's home meeting with Berwick). Berwick fixture would be the 5th Sunday so day 29 (you don't get 5 Sundays in any 4 week spell as far as I am aware).

How did Newcastle have a facility for Lewis Rose at Newcastle? He announced on his twitter on 30th April he was taking time out so that is more than 28 days ago. Kings Lynn changed their team on 30th April. Even if its taken from the 1st meeting he missed for Newcastle (6th May against Ipswich) the facility should have run out at Berwick on Saturday night. You need to include the 6th May as day 1 so day 28 will be 2nd June (not the 3rd).
