No I will say that Jim McGregor argued against the decision that night, saying it should have been rerun.

Led to believe two with a refereeing background are running things.

Does where I drink it along with free refills

They were supposed to be going back to original ethos of the league (BL Div3 - 1994). If that was the case riders were not paid and only got travel money unless they rode for Berwick and Mildenhall. Remember Geoff Powell asking me what we were paying at Linlithgow and that he was happy to be paid the same as everyone else. I told him - nothing - and he said that was ok by him if all were the same. He eventually went to Mildenhall who were paying riders.

But who is on the SCB - Rob Godfrey! Or is it Messrs Steele and Lawrence pulling the strings

He doesn't have an average as removing Newcastle meetings means he has only had 3 meetings. Established averages are given after 4 meetings. I suspect it will not change - just another rule that the SCB will not enforce. Personally think Mr Vatcher is too interested in the Youth setup to get involved in keeping to the rules

Any chance of the Devils team being changed due to the removal of Newcastle scores which affect the riders averages? George Rothery's average reverting to 3.00 rather than 6.50 and him moving back to reserve.

Glad you got a reply. I've emailed twice and there has been no response.

Got an email from them last week. Just a shame that they go on sale just as some of us are working at Armadale. Have to see if I can get away with using internet in the referee's box.

That's what the Scottish Government say the base line is for standing with 500 being the number for seating. From what the old/new First Minister said can be different, probably up to local council. Also Lothian Arena is part seating and part standing which could make a difference.

Edinburgh assuming 5pm start but a 3pm start would be much better to get back north at a reasonable time. Certainly supporters' bus has had to leave before end of meeting due to drivers hours on occasion when meeting has dragged on or been a double header.

Not in my case, accommodation booked for all Edinburgh and Armadale away meetings except Devils meetings at Berwick and Belle Vue. Only need Sturgeon to give me and fellow travellers our 'FREEDOM'

Sent an email , but Dave says they've run out of copies, Got a pdf copy sent while they are await paper copies from the printer. This weeks arrived yesterday by Royal Mail,

Snap. Assuming it does arrive up here in Linlithgow today/tomorrow possibly along with this weeks I'll have plenty reading.

Edinburgh 3rd Aug, on tour at Poole on 4th

Too true. From a way back in Division 3/Conference League days one club from the east which is running this year and one border one which has just returning this year. Both under different "Promotions".

Can we not declare independence from Scotland?

We may be able to run without crowds prior to the date as amateur sports, which the NDL is classed, could be allowed before May 17. Armadale is prepared as COVID secure meetings were held last year and the guidance would be followed once again. Suppose it really depends if BSPL allow streaming which is available from Armadale.

Couple of points - Kent are called Royals in the National League and looking at the Eastbourne fixture list, they have dates for NL fixtures against Berwick.

Always has been since my involvement in Linlithgow. We did look to organise ourselves but we had Peter Morrish appointed to look after the league. Also a number of our ideas which we thought would make it cheaper for riders were knocked back by the BSPA Chairman at the time.
