I know you meant to put 'steroid spray' mate. 'Steroid spay' could be a whole different procedure Take it easy. See you Wednesday.

Probably Hans.

Somerset and Rye House only came up last season to replace Coventry and Lakeside. Leicester have been in since 2014

What? the score prediction or the guest - or both?

Preceded by another showing of 'True Grit' on BT Sport 3 for those that may not have seen it!

Poole will win this by at least 7 points. I guess Wolves will again use Nick Morris as a guest as they are on Monday?!

Shock, horror - Gavan in post-holiday Poole thread return!

...or 1 or 2 quid in some cases.

So when there was an impasse at the AGM over the Mon/Thurs FRN, with Championship clubs refusing to support what had already been agreed with FIM, what alternative night should have been proposed by MF or any other Premiership promoter for that matter? Poole can run M/W/Th/F with sufficient notice, but the SGBC clubs would not have supported Fridays either (they have enough problems fitting their Friday fixtures in now!!)

Simples - just sign different riders!

Maybe he should have taken one of the 3 other dates that Somerset offered earlier in the season!!!!??

Play-off scores don't count towards GSAs - unless they chnage the rules as they did with the KO Cup?!

Watch and learn!! How many points are Swindon behind Poole?!

BT (as per Sky) want a 'top' league as it looks better in their portfolio of sports for advertising revenue!!

Me too but at my age a short stroke is often enough!!

Richie's had some decent scores as a 2nd string this season - it has to be down to track prep.

It won't be one big league in 2019!!

Poole 'limped in' to 4th place a few seasons ago and ended up winning the play-offs! In the reverse situation they've also previously been top most of the season and ended up losing in the play-offs!!

Thats correct. Bomber's is now 6.90 but achieved after the August 23rd cut-off for September so can now only be affected by the scores v Wolves on Wednesday and the score 21 meetings ago that drops out of the calculation and becomes effective on 1st October. If there is little change then I can see the Poole 1-5 riding order from the play off semifinal on 1st October being Bomber; Kacper; Brady; Josh; Nicolai. Whether that makes any difference we shall have to see.

I'm not mechanically minded but apparantly Richie rides a 'long stroke' engine rather than a 'short stroke' one! Maybe its not the size/shape of the track that is the issue but mainly down to track prep. When interviewed after the Bank Holiday afternoon meeting he said he prefers a lot more grip rather than - as everyone witnessed - a very understandably slick track bearing in mind the amount of rain that fell the day before.

Thats exactly the point!! Bomber's consistency and experience at 1 will be no worse than Brady's but Brady should be a much more consistent high scorer at 3,4 or 5

Stadia UK have a greyhound cart on standby to transport any spare shale down south!!

As it seems the likely top 2 will be Kings Lynn and Somerset, does it really matter who gets to choose oppnoents as it seems cut and dried who both would pick.

The updated rolling GSA's show Bomber 0.10 above Brady so subject to the final qualifying meeting v Wolves on Wednesday, Bomber could be at 1 for the 2nd leg of the semi-final on 1st October as well as for the final if we get there. Relieving Brady of the Number 1 position will do wonders for his 'its all in his head' issues and will undoubtedly work to Poole's advantage, notwithstanding the reserves staying as per the September GSAs. Just my opinion

All promoters know what has been discussed and proposed for 2019 so anyone NOT planning accordingly will only suffer the consequences!!
