  1. 8 home winners in 23 years suggests there is some advantage too be had.
  2. But they announced the guest before the match was even finished - psychic powers?
  3. More cost cutting devaluing the product
  4. Probably no groups. Just 18 qual heats with each pair having 4 rides. Then top 4 to semis.
  5. As just turned 15's Brennan averaged 4 while Boughen averaged 5. BUT Brennan had 4+ years of youth experience beforehand. Boughen about 4 weeks In his first full NDL season when turning 16 he averaged 7.21. Boughen is currently averaging 7.31
  6. 31 out of 49 unchanged. But 5 of 7 rising stars have changed.
  7. Sadly none of the promoters have signed up to my suggestion that riders should have a single weighted GSA, so until then I'm afraid no - it is a logical corollary of the current system that such pairs of riders will exist.
  8. But if he hasn't got machinery he is withholding his services so yes there would be a facility.
  9. Top prize goes to Redcar for getting this meeting on, ensuring it ran smoothly and that the track was raceable and not just rideable. Ben Cook very impressive.
  10. Isn't there an alternate version, that after an unexpectedly strong showing against Ostrow, Rybnik wanted him to prepare for the semi final without distraction. Don't know which is true, but if it is the 28 day visa then how is a sport that is based on riders being available all season being propped up by riders who turn out to be temporary signings (although this is never mentioned when the signing is originally announced (cf Adam Ellis last year))
  11. So Poole want a brand new rule - changed mid-season, purely for their benefit . Or did Edinburgh make it rain? 2002: Poole fans - it's all about winning the play-offs, topping the league table doesn't matter, just need to qualify 2003: Poole fans - it's all about winning the play-offs, topping the league table doesn't matter, just need to qualify 2004: Poole fans - it's all about winning the play-offs, topping the league table doesn't matter, just need to qualify 2005: Poole fans - it's all about winning the play-offs, topping the league table doesn't matter, just need to qualify 2006: Poole fans - it's all about winning the play-offs, topping the league table doesn't matter, just need to qualify 2007: Poole fans - it's all about winning the play-offs, topping the league table doesn't matter, just need to qualify 2008: Poole fans - it's all about winning the play-offs, topping the league table doesn't matter, just need to qualify 2009: Poole fans - it's all about winning the play-offs, topping the league table doesn't matter, just need to qualify 2010: Poole fans - it's all about winning the play-offs, topping the league table doesn't matter, just need to qualify 2011: Poole fans - it's all about winning the play-offs, topping the league table doesn't matter, just need to qualify 2012: Poole fans - it's all about winning the play-offs, topping the league table doesn't matter, just need to qualify 2013: Poole fans - it's all about winning the play-offs, topping the league table doesn't matter, just need to qualify 2014: Poole fans - it's all about winning the play-offs, topping the league table doesn't matter, just need to qualify 2015: Poole fans - it's all about winning the play-offs, topping the league table doesn't matter, just need to qualify 2016: Poole fans - it's all about winning the play-offs, topping the league table doesn't matter, just need to qualify 2017: Poole fans - it's all about winning the play-offs, topping the league table doesn't matter, just need to qualify 2018: Poole fans - it's all about winning the play-offs, topping the league table doesn't matter, just need to qualify 2019: Poole fans - it's all about winning the play-offs, topping the league table doesn't matter, just need to qualify 2021: Poole fans - it's all about winning the play-offs, topping the league table doesn't matter, just need to qualify 2022: Poole fans - it's all about winning the play-offs, topping the league table doesn't matter, just need to qualify 2023 Poole fans: waaaaaah it's not fair
  12. Also you want to insure against the risk of a rain off, with races dates at a premium at Owlerton.
  13. But that would mean the Chargers riding without Jenkins and Atkins so unlikey in the extreme
  14. I'm not aware of teams being fined for failing to complete fixtures before the cut-off date before despite numerous examples of matches staged after the cut-off date.
  15. <sarcasm alert> Yes shame on Edinburgh for bringing in a ringer with a massive average of <checks notes> 2.56
  16. What? You haven't heard! Peterborough's last match (currently with no date and no bearing on the play-offs) is going to be on 30 October
  17. Most promoters are really enthusiasts indulging in their hobby. If that ceases to be enjoyable because of endless abuse on forums and elsewhere then don't be surprised if their enthusiasm diminishes and they walk away.
  18. Hypothetically of course, but if Tarasenko were to be injured/ill/stuck in Poland etc etc then Tigers would be stuck with r/r (Vissing + reserves x 3) which would make victory a tough proposition.
  19. Will be Oxford. It is always the Champ team that takes priority
  20. There seemed to be a lot of people very disappointed that Poole fans haven't acted more hysterically to this signing. Most of the posts I've seen from Poole fans seem to accept they've been out manouvered. Anyway it will all be decided on track at the end of the day.
