5.42.

That has really spoilt my day.

There are riders that have enquired and been told "that's not how we do it", which I respect.

Yes, I know. But it's not good for the league to have four teams as bad as they have been this year.

I really hope the league is more balanced next year. It feels like two divisions at times.

Hopefully we can hold on for the bonus point.

I think so.

Need five points to cover the expected average. Three for Claus in heat 8. One for Ace in heat 1. Lee to get a point in heat 6. Bagel in 10. Easy!

I’m sure rain will help and/or hinder.

I’m sure they will try to show everyone once.

I doubt it’s all of them.

You only need pick two, so maybe just pick Scunny and sixth!

If I was in charge of Poole and they finished top, I’d leave Glasgow, Oxford and Redcar in a group, which would be a very exciting bloodbath.

To be fair, the Tigers website doesn't make it very clear. It makes it look like it needs to be re-run.

Riding for Redcar, but hopefully he's turning up in Plymouth!

It was good for the first half of the meeting, but the grading didn't keep up with the track and it fell.away, particularly after the third set of heats. There was some good racing though all the same - we've had worse GPs this year.

The idea of riders being club assets when they ride for multiple clubs and are ostensibly self-employed, is quite possibly the weirdest of speedway concepts.

Some people might call a lack of excitement boring.

I was there. No one at the track was bored. The first half of the meeting was really good, although it did tail off in the second half of the meeting. It certainly wasn't the worst SGP meeting of the year.

The early heats were good. Track hasn't been graded well through the meeting though.

I thought the exclusion was a bit harsh on Claus tbh.

Tom doesn't ride the outside like others, and I think that's hurting him at Ashfield. He defaults more to the inside and it's just not the quickest line most weeks. Claus also has an unusual line, which I'm sure is one of the reasons he takes someone out once every two meetings.

Yep, that’s the team.

There's also plenty space to park for free at the bottom of Ashfield Street. No houses on one side of the road, so no residents to get annoyed, which is always nice.

Land is painfully expensive, before you even build anything. Especially if there’s any possibility houses could be built on the land.
