Barrow Boy 2

Palm Toft will fit won't he?

With Coventry's P & P day being postponed due to unsuitable track conditions this Saturday is Leicester's scheduled for the next day also at risk?

Sorry forget the above. Just remembered it's Jack Thomas not Connor Mountain. Sorry and all that. Still Ipswich then to beat.

Now that Glasgow have changed Parkinson-Blackburn for Mountain I now make them likely to finish ahead of Ipswich.

Didn't I read somewhere that only league matches count towards the averages. If so then there will not be any changes possible until later in the season.

But Cook is on 8.45, Iversen 9.04, Vaculik 8.00, Holder 7.16 & Doyle 9.69.

Just read on the BSI site that Zagar wanted to return but it was unable to be accommodated due to being given a 9.00 average. Why is this? When he last rode in 2016 his average was only 7.48.

I would think it will be either Bjerre or Starke because of the Sheffield connection but my preference would have been Eric Riss but I understand he is fully committed already. Klindt would be ok though.

I'm usually hopeless at predictions but just for the fun of taking part here goes:- 1-Ipswich 2-Glasgow 3-Lakeside 4-Workington 5-Peterborough 6-Sheffield 7-Berwick 8-Scunthorpe 9-Redcar 10-Edinburgh Newcastle ?

If they want to ride in the BCL so much then let them but they should not be allowed to ride in the BPL as well.

I don't know that is why I asked.

Will this be the last time that the likes of Schlein & Morris will be able to ride in the BCL then?

Just don't think that riders above a certain BPL average should be allowed to ride in the BCL as well.

Which is why riders BPL averages converted should be used to determine their BCL averages.

Might happen in Poland though.

7.63 which equates to just under 10.00 in the BCL where he only averaged 8.44 for Peterborough last season. I agree that he hardly set the woods on fire but the point is if they used current BPL averages he would have to be given a 10.00 to ride in the BCL 2018.

Deliberately riding to lower their average will cost them money will it not?

If they allow SN & EK and anyone else in a similar position to ride in both leagues it is the right thing to do because other 9 riders have been allowed to do so. It is too late now to bar them all because it would cause too much disruption with the new season fast approaching. Next season however, current BPL averages should decide and not most recent BCL averages.

So 2 BPL number 1s are allowed to ride in a lower easier league. Ridiculous.

Just think that the best riders should stick to Div 1 and let the rest earn the money that is on offer in Div 2. Or perhaps all riders should be given a choice of which league want to ride in.

Lions v Somerset March 26th.

It is wrong to allow any rider above a certain BPL average to also compete in the BCL. From next season it should be that no rider with a current BPL average of more than 6.49 should be prevented from riding in the BCL as well.

Rye House now look strong along with Poole, Wolverhampton, Leicester & Belle Vue. Should be interesting.

The Play Offs should not be over 2 legs. Semi Finals should be 1 v 4 & 2 v 3 with the final being staged at the venue of the team that finished higher in the league. This would reward the team that did best in the league which ought to be the case.

Just what I said
