....or we could just carry on the debate..........

Guilty as charged m'lud. Thing is, I can't get into the garden because of the weather, and I've watched the GP and Moto GP recordings half a dozen times. Here's a thought: If everyone 'fesses up to how sad they are to take part in this debate, we could reach 10 pages and submit it to the Guinness Book of Records for the longest pointless discussion about a non-event.

I'm not backing Doolan, of course Garrity has a better record around Monmore. My comment referred to the management decision. With 7 riders you have options, with 6 you are scuppered if things don't go to plan.

So you can predict the future and you know that Doolan would not score well and that Garrity would not have bike problems as he did on Friday but he'd repeat his heroics from last season at Monmore (against a heavily revised Wolves team). Common sense says that you go with a seven-man team and keep your options open. Your 6-man team would only work if Garrity scored double figures. Pity we'll never know now that the weather has intervened.

Don't know that I'd call 3 1 R 2* a really off night. Beaten only by an opposition 2nd string and an engine problem.......

The good news: BSPA being more open and keeping the public informed for a change The bad news: Nobody at BSPA Towers can spell LicenSed Can't have everything, I suppose

On second thoughts, not so obvious or clever. What could be simpler to the uninitiated than 3-2-1-0? No need to mention bonus points in the programme or match report - they only affect the riders' pay, not the match result.

'Strewth ! That's so blindingly obvious - why has no-one thought of it before (including myself in half a century watching speedway)?
