So with a heat leader trio of Danno, Luke Harris, and r/r bet tomorrow's gonna be a close fought affair - NOT

Yesterday, when I posted this it was a flippant suggestion. Now it appears to be a genuine proposal from the clubs involved.

Tellement vrai, tellement vrai

My reading of the regulations is that there are two logical outcomes: 1) Adam Ellis is banned for a year, or 2) Godfrey is subject to severe sanction for fraudulently claiming a facility his club were not entitled to. [I'm ignoring 3) it quietly gets swept under the carpet] Relevant reg: 10.5(l) a Championship rider who’s own FMN* does not have a current agreement with the BSPA and is competing in another FMN’s National, League or Open Meeting. This will result in the riders SCB Registration being suspended for one (1) season and the riders team will be automatically granted a facility for a maximum period of 28 days, after which that team must re-declare * I'm assuming there is no agreement with the FFM

Think you'll find that the policy was one meeting per month across the whole of speedway. Given insurance issues etc I would be surprised if Poole do this.

There is no problem. Cubs fixtures will play second fiddle to the Lions as soon as Leicester's Championship schedule is known we will get a date. Of course if play-off semis/final get rained off the Cubs may then get bumped. It is a sad fact that NL fixtures are regarded as disposable by tracks running in both leagues. Look at the mess Kent are in. Standby for a soggy Sunday double header on 31 Oct: Cubs v Colts followed by Royals v Dale Devils

One minor correction. It is top 3 who will be missing as they are already operating r/r for the "apparently" retired Joe Lawlor

No Championship always takes precedence. [Reg 10.1.1]

Which ***** up the Kent match as the Cubs will be at Sittingbourne without the Thompson twins..

So if Ellis rides in France tomorrow, does that mean no facility?

Yes many of the minor rule changes have been the result of promoters responding to the perception that people don't like some rule or want another one changed.

It is basically due to fan demand after a number of ties (notably the 2006 play-off final) were won by a team using tacticals in BOTH legs.

Can't run IRR for 5th rider in the averages, it will be reserves

I think Wroclaw v Lublin, in which Bewley had a starring role, might just have been a higher pressure play-off final

Err care to rethink that?

I take it you are bringing the loaves and fishes - after all you are the messiah aren't you?

Pavlic has retired, but that raises an interesting question, who will be the Gorican wildcard?

And at last: https://rs.dmusport.dk/loeb/5551

Sounds reasonable to me, it is not as if any bank could have anticipated the month would end, or had ever experienced one before

Outrageous, how dare the FIM make all the sensible picks just as we predicted leaving us nothing to whinge about. Shocked! PS Kubera, J Holder, Bewley, Chugunov and Miskowiak for my preferred reserve list.

Off

Just driven through heavy shower. Now at Alwalton, ground wet but sun coming out.

Andersen, Bomber and Nicholls scored not a single one of MY points. Unlike you I am unbiased, impartial and capable of processing the data and interpreting facts. Your argument about Toft's first two rides is mind blowingly pathetic.

Toft got double figures in both A and B fixtures, the Panthers only got 5 from his rides last week. RR for Ulrich yielded just 3 points. Care to rethink your post. PS citing Tatum is a bit like using Katie Price as your expert on road traffic law.

Have seen Pickering on several occasions this season on at least six different tracks and almost without fail he's been superb. Easily my rider of the season.
