Call me wolfie

That's the last time he rode here, quit midway through the season due to personal problems, replaced with PK.

He borrowed Sam's bikes for the GB v Denmark meeting so maybe some truth in that

I'm well aware of that, and for his reasons in not riding in Sweden next year, which makes him more likely to be tempted back to the UK, in my opinion

CVS was supporting this idea last Sunday so it's not just Swindon in favour of it. If Howarth chooses to stay with Sheffield, we could replace him with Freddie.

I don't think they are, Sheffield are coming up so they can ride on their preferred Thursday evening

Are you forgetting half of your meetings will not be on a night of your choice

It's a tough one for Kyle, he's been loyal to both teams, Wolves will be desperate to keep him I'm sure

And people were saying the amount of guests being used was making the sport a laughing stock

It's never ideal when you miss the first couple of months of the season, you're playing catch up from the start. Both Nick and Jacob suffered in that respect. I would certainly give them another chance. Nick is a much better rider than his current average

I actually wouldn't mind, I think we would have beaten any other team over 2 legs in the playoffs. Swindon proved over the last few weeks of the season they were by far the best team. Since we got to within 2 points of them in the B meeting their overall record in the 6 last home meetings was 360 - 179. That is incredible form, but luckily that team will have to be ripped apart as they are about 4 points over the average limit. The fact that we made the playoffs and, at the end of the season were probably the second best team, yet are able to redeclare the same 1 - 7 for next year, I think is a massive bonus.

The way CVS and PA were talking yesterday, I wouldn't be surprised to see the same 1-7 back next year

CVS also said if Poole drop down and no other team comes up, Wolves will not run in a league of 6

Congratulations to the 2019 Robins, by far and away the best team

What happens next year depends on whether Freddy will return imo. He has suggested he may drop Sweden next year which would make his return more likely. He would have to replace either Sam, Jacob or Rory. Plus there would probably have to be at least another 2 changes to accommodate his average, including a weaker reserve in place of Ryan most likely. If Freddy doesn't return I can see us retaining virtually the same team with maybe one change, possibly Scott Nicholls for Nick Morris

I never really understand this argument, both Luke and Jacob both rode for other teams this year, just not in the UK. Is there a difference?

That's a bit out of order regarding Howarth, he was our only real performer in the second leg at Swindon. He will be back next year for sure, unless Sheffield come up, then he will have a tough choice to make

I think what he means Steve is will the averages change again after the playoffs or is that the final end of season averages. As far as I'm aware playoffs aren't included in rolling averages so they shouldn't change again

Hands off, he's ours

If this meeting goes ahead the track will be wet as heavy rain forecast for sunday, only 25% chance of light rain monday evening though

I seem to remember the 2017 semi at BV being rained off a few times and in the end going ahead without tv coverage

How about someone actually looks at the forecast and schedules the meetings for dry days, instead of hoping the forecast will change

And Vissing

Agree with your sentiment but Monmore isn't available on Thursdays due to greyhound racing so very little choice unfortunately

Struggling to see when it could be re-arranged for now, tonight's Glasgow v Somerset postponement is now scheduled for Tuesday

I notice the long awaited supporters cup meeting v Peterborough has finally been re-arranged for Sunday 13th at 4pm, followed by the British junior championships
