Beirao

Don't have to have one each. Lee could take both of them as long as he doesn't have more than seven rides in total.

We seem to go out of our way not to mention line ups until the last minute if there are riders going to be missing. The Phil Lanning piece could surely have given the teams earlier this morning. If we don't make the final, are there any plans for a further meeting f any kind or does the season just tail off?

Would be hard to have Bomber and Basso in the team and not being weak at reserve. Having the pair and say Danyon Hume and Ace Pijper at reserve would take about 26 points.

Looks like it as the section tables on the BSPL site include columns for them.

Can understand going for Tuesday Sept 19 as Ben Basso is at the Danish GP and Chris Harris has the Long Track the previous weekend but not sure there is anything blocking the next two Fridays - Sept 22 and 29. Oxford are at Redcar on the 22nd but 29th seems free. As Edinburgh dont race Poole until the 29th, it wouldn't be holding the competition up by racing then.

So Oxford v Redcar on Sept 20.

And I hope we don't have a meeting on Friday Sept 15 if Ben Basso is required to be in Denmark for their GP the following night. Redcar v Oxford on Sept 15 perhaps and Tigers v Redcar on Tuesday Sept 19?

Seventeen riders if my always suspect arithmetic is correct. Scottish Open meetings can handle 16 plus two reserves, so is there a problem?

Would have thought there would be a bigger than usual attendance tonight, with Tarasenko and possibly even Boughen sparking a lot of interest in our first home meeting in three weeks

Has Ace been declared fit for tomorrow night?

Do we need a neutral fixtures secretary type post to set dates, regardless of rider availability, to break these log jams. Rearranged fixtures depend on full availability while it's just your luck on normal fixtures set at the start of the season. Seems wrong.

Should have been "timeously" but "hideously" isnt too far away - the curse of predictive text strikes again! Most likely that both groups will have two Friday night tracks in them. Not sure if Glasgow want to avoid Friday Sept 15 as Ben Basso is at Danish GP the following night and may not be available. Chris Harris wont be available on Sunday Sept 17 as he will be away winning the World Long Track title (hopefully).

Not if Superheats are going too be used in aggregate scores are tied. Play Offs are flawed if they need to rely on teams going off their usual race night to allow them to be completed hideously.

When was that exactly? Presumably after Carl Stonehewer if at all.

Thanks arnieg. Get it now. The way the averages page is laid out, I thought " To be effective 7 days after the last qualifying meeting" was only for NDL averages, as it's in the same paragraph.

Didn't Tarasenko get a "real" average immediately after Monday Aug 21 when he completed his third home meeting for Peterborough? Premiership riders need 3H and 3A to get an average

Speedway Updates show Rybnik have a play off quarter final on Aug 26.

Rudi Muts for Wimbledon?

Edinburgh v Birmingham may be the decisive one in settling sixth place.

Are there rules about who goes first in a double header? Might be wrong but would have thought the Birmingham fixture was rearranged first and that they should be the first meeting on the night.

May be combined would be a better description, though if eleven teams are in it, it will be almost twice as big as next years Premiership if two senior leagues. Will the big/combined league be 2H and 2A? Can clubs sustain that ? Sounds a lot at 40 meetings but just the same as 16 Championship and 24 Premiership league meetings this year. If 1H and 1A that represents a 50% reduction in meetings for doubling up riders.

Would think CL teams would keep their regular race nights though Redcar may revert to their traditional Thursday and be joined by Ipswich and Sheffield. Not sure if Berwick would fancy the big league and may opt for the lower tier. Belle Vue, Kings Lynn and Leicester have all had Saturdays in their past - in some cases distant past - so it'll be interesting to see what they opt for. If Mondays, then the big league could be run Monday to Friday which may allow some previously Premiership only guys - Kurtz, Lidsay etc- to ride in the UK.
