Reading that, you wouldn't think we were currently winning away from home, eh? 😂

That’s definitely up there in the list of bad decisions!

Must be measured using a Ferrari 🤣 For me, a full tank costs £75. That goes 500 miles. Return trip is exactly 200 miles - £30. £10 cheaper, door to door, I'm the DJ, and it's much quicker.

It's cheaper to drive by yourself than take the bus. It's also barely advertised.

I'm in London this week and went past the old track on the train twice today. Glad to hear of this. I love Ashfield but little would please me more than to see the Rockets back.

Weather is coming from the west. Very light drizzle so far, forecast is for no more than that. Can never be sure though.

I don’t agree with this. We have a points limit and a limit on 8 point riders. That’s already a decent amount of equalisation of teams, and Poole aside, I think most people would greet it’s been very effective at balancing the teams this year. One thing people also have to remember if younger riders are often more dependent on others for travel because they often aren’t old enough to drive legally. In that situation, it’s much harder for a rider based in say the south of England to commit to a club in Scotland. No one’s fault, just practicality. What I would say is the rising star programme really belongs in the Championship rather than the Premiership and it’s a shame we don’t have that. Or maybe there could be a progression and have it in both leagues. I would also be minded towards only allowing British riders at reserve. Mario might not be a fan of that…

Just a little bit?

Not quite. William and Cooper at reserve on Friday. When new averages take effect, it will be William and Kyle for June.

Between them they're not a long way off. Cooper's average will be 6.17 when effective, and Cairns is averaging 6.59 this season, albeit the official average will lag behind given he came in half way through last season. How many young riders have come in to the Championship and done that in recent times?

We hit 30, better than expected 👍🏻

They wanted to watch Eurovision?

Bomber passed on lap three and was about 10 yards clear of Mario at the finish.

Loved watching Craig round Ashfield tonight. He’s still a brilliant rider.

Only five weeks until the next home fixture after tonight!
