Klindt is third in the KL averages. The one immediately above (Basso) can take a ride, and anyone below (Iversen, Kvech, Wojdylo, Rowe)

Surely he'd be bottom of the list, due to his loyalty to Oxford? I'd imagine BV would use their own asset Jake Mulford, who was their rising star last season until getting injured and being switched for Connor Bailey. Antti Vuolas would be my choice at No.6

Says who? If I wanted to buy Swaffham tomorrow and open it for speedway, why shouldn't I be allowed to? Was Cradley "instead of" Wolves. Is Notts. Forest "instead of" Notts. County?

Any idea when it will be? Nothing showing on the dates yet. https://britishspeedway.co.uk/2024-ndlrc-series/

Wolverhampton fans didn't support Cradley. They were rivals 8 miles apart. Why wouldn't King's Lynn want a local rival?

Swaffham is only 13 miles from King's Lynn. But then again, Wolverhampton was only 8 miles from Cradley Heath...

At the start of the season we were told that there was a commitment to development of future British riders. All clubs must either compete in the NDL, compete in an organised second-half competition (NJL, MDL), or run a round of the new Development Series. Anyone failing to help the future of the sport in this country would be fined £5,000. Below is a list of the clubs and their commitment to Development League racing. Are we to assume Berwick, Ipswich, King's Lynn and Plymouth are opting to take the £5,000 fine? Or do they have plans? Belle Vue - National League Berwick - NOTHING Birmingham - MDL Edinburgh - National League & NJL Glasgow - NJL Ipswich - NOTHING King's Lynn - NOTHING Leicester - National League, MDL, & Development Series Round Oxford - National League Plymouth - NOTHING Poole - Development Series Round Redcar - National League Scunthorpe - Part National League Sheffield - Part National League Workington - NJL

Covatti is riding for Plymouth on Tuesday.

Anyone who says they wouldn't swap out a perfectly pleasant, 26-year-old, reserve journeyman, for an 18-year-old, next-big-thing, exciting talent, is either lying or foolish.

poor show from Poole not to have a couple of local track reserves available. Denying a young kid some laps.

All you are proving is that the people you are criticising know the rules, and you don't. Ocford have had 6 riders all season, having named Alex Spooner but him not be able to take his place. This means no facility for the space in the team. Leicester were missing Arran Butcher due to racing grasstrack. Had he been 18 or under, they could have had a guest. However he's over 18, so no facility. The only option for a "no facility" situation, is an unattached 3.00 rider. You still haven't named the unattached 3.00 rider who would be better than the choices made.

If you mean Kai Ward, Mickie Simpson and Dayle Wood, they're all in 1-7s of other teams. So try again. Who are you saying would have been better than Sam Woods?

Not even one of those occasions where the rules are ambiguous. The rule is very clear: SR11.4 "If riding at #7 a guest from the Rising Star list must be used, their MA must be lower or equivalent to the missing rider. The Rising Star guest must not be in a current Premiership 1-7."

Easier said than done. There just isn't a supply of riders around. With hindsight Sam Woods worked out badly, but before the meeting he was potentially the best option.

Edwards can't guest as Rising Star for Hagon. Edwards is in a premiership 1-7 which makes him ineligible.

Boughen going brilliantly, with 13 from 5 rides, but Harrison struggling with only 4 from 5 rides (including 2 against the way outclassed Urkainians). If only Boughen had some support. Vatcher seems to have forgotten he has 3 riders.

Sayfutdinov guesting for Kurtz would boost the crowd more than the Leicester team will.

You're correct in this bit that Poole are hosting this meeting. (It's not a shared event like the NDLRC is). It's clear in the regulations sent to the NDL clubs that this is not the NDLRC and is not a shared event. It is a Poole promoted meeting to meet the obligation that all clubs have to either run NDL, a programme of second halves, or a meeting in this series. The regulations sent out to competitors say the meeting is as per SR 013.2 The 6 NDL clubs have been asked to nominate 2 riders each, with Poole as hosts of this round choosing the 4 wildcards. This will be the same for every round. Poole are being naughty by trying to devalue the other rounds and claiming this to be more important than the others. The SCB should step in and clarify to fans that this is only one Development Series round, just like the one at Leicester etc. But we know that the SCB don't really care about the National League, so they'll keep quiet and let people continue to be confused.

People in glass houses.....

Where else do you want Poole to hold the Poole round? Poole will presumably choose 4 southern riders as the wild cards, When Leicester stage their round, they'll probably pick 4 Leicester riders as wildcards, when Redcar stage their round they'll pick 4 Northern Middlesbrough riders as the wildcards, and the same at any other rounds.

Lawson's riding on Thursday. Brennan guest for Musielak

Pardon me if I believe the referee who had to tell him the rule, and not you.

He does now. Shame the ref had to tell him.

Believe what you want. That's what happened.

He phoned the referee complaining about the 2 minute disqualification. He didn't know the new rule with the clock and needing to be ready to race at the end of the 2 minutes. Referee had to tell him the new rule!
