I would take a 49-41 defeat. But anything into 52-38 is dangerous ground. I would be surprised and disappointed if we gave up a large lead. The team is riding well, we have 3 heat leaders and the second strings and reserve are doing well. We lost at the start of the season but lost Rory in heat 1 and he is in good form. This is his final hurrah and he will want to leave everything in the track to bring home a trophy to end his career.

Rule change for tape exclusion
Steve Shovlar replied to Endeavour's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Start Marshalls need to be much more consistent and in line with every club in the league like in Poland. No lining up at an angle other than 90 degrees to the tapes. Front wheel one inch from tapes, which need to be taut. If a rider moves they will hit the tapes and be exc. if they roll back, the will be exc. -
Surely if Kent are closing move the show to Eastbourne and open next season.

Of course it’s not ignorance. It’s friendly banter. I could have said perhaps Nessy will be in the crowd for extra support or I am looking forward to a deep fried Mars bar washed down with some Irn Brew. With an och aye the noo thrown in for good measure. Most would see it has harmless banter and nothing more. Surprised we haven’t all been called Dorset Knobs in return. Scotland is a beautiful country and I love to visit the Highlands. But it seems it’s best to avoid the main cities where the welcome isn’t as friendly as the folk who live in more rural areas.

Fingers crossed it all goes ahead as the price of changing the flights is probably more than the original cost. Going to be 30 hours no sleep as it stands. The weather here has been mild, with 15 C about as low as it has got. Seeing Glasgow as single digits means bringing a proper coat. We haven’t had a cold night this autumn so far, so a shock to the system is on the cards. The problem with flying nd having no base is that we have to cart everything around with us. Not great. Ideally we would have. Hotel at a fair price and a mid day return flight so no panic getting to the airport. Hope at 7 am Wednesday morning I am not thinking, why did I come all this way for no sleep and a 26 point defeat? (I know that won’t happen)
