Lee’s 2023 average is 4.00, Adam’s is 3.43. So this calendar year, Lee is an upgrade - it just hasn’t filtered through the averages because 20 matches might take until 2030 at the pace of the fixture list.

Please read the room. You’re coming across quite tone deaf.

Maybe it would be better to have matches early and often, and then fill the calendar with challenge matches once they’re done.

They can’t be much worse.

I don’t drink, but I don’t think you put tinnies on the barbie!

It's an option, but Marcin and Bomber race quite well together and Marvin's form has been noticeably better the last three meetings - I'd be minded to leave him there rather than risk upsetting it.

I’ve nothing but praise for what Len did at Rye House. He made mistakes just like anyone else, but he got us our speedway track back. If only we could do that again.

Team works better with Tom at 5 and Ben at 3. We tried it the other way round and it just didn’t work.

I dunno, we had heats with 7 passes in that meeting. It wasn’t a problem for the riders that accepted you couldn’t take it flat. Some of them seemed to think it was a Polish track, which it’s not. Wouldn’t be terrible for them to wider it a fraction but there was some incredible racing through that corner in the challenge meeting.

I would in his position. Why go for a 5-rode max if you can get the same for 5 paid wins and keep a point off your average? It's the logical thing to do. If people want to avoid it, they could make bonus points count towards averages.

They have a lion that pretends to wave royally. I always want to have it shot by a trophy hunter. I feel this way about a lot of mascots, to be fair.

Daugavpils?

Can’t say I’ve felt the rain’s been that bas the last couple of days. Wet, but no more, in Drumchapel. I don’t think there will be any problems.

Your employer doesn’t own your life - nor your spouse’s. I’m certainly not going to tell anyone to get married in October when the weather’s rotten. Maybe different on megabucks if you’re a pro footballer or an F1 driver, but speedway doesn’t pay enough for that nonsense.

He needs to earn money like anyone else. No problem with it.

Claus has been great, though a bit of bike trouble recently and does have a propensity to take a rider’s wheel with him when he passes, which some refs don’t seem to like.

I really like the concept. Discovery haven't nailed the execution, but it's an idea with potential.

Drone cam could be really good with some refinement, but definitely needs work. It would help if it wasn’t permanently 30 metres behind the action.

In that case, Danny's talked about it more than once, because I'm sure it was on the BSN broadcast when Poole visited Redcar in mid June.

Not sure about that - didn't help our lot when they visited the next week.

No, it’s just how it is sometimes with the weather. Weather turned out to be better than expected.

I’ve watched heat 12 back on BSN. Not a great camera angle but it does look like Basso passes after the line. I’ll not send hate mail to the manufacturers just yet.

Certainly if Glasgow had lost at home today, it would set them up badly for next week.

It wasn't a whole wheel, it was more like the width of about two tyres.
