But everyone at Oxford fully expects to finish second unless they win at Glasgow so striving to improve their chances is not unreasonable. Is that not exactly what Poole would do? And why is everyone at Poole suddenly so obsessed with Oxford? It's almost as if they are so arrogant as to believe they have a divine right to be top and can't accept they are being challenged. PS I still think Poole have the best team in the league and would be deserved champions if they win it.

With only 5 Danes spread across 3 teams in the original declared line-ups not difficult to do. And it's really 4 Danes in two teams (Glasgow/Berwick) because Toft doesn't often ride in Denmark (6 DSL matches in last 5 years)

You can't. There is no facility for Dan, hence the 'guest up to 75%' replacement. But still an odd choice to use r/r for Barker I guess if might be r/r again on Friday at Oxford as 7 teams riding leaving only Flint Andersen and Etheridge as viable choices.

Which would be odd, given 1) how much Oxford seem to be invested in Killeen 2) that Killeen has a higher average than Boughen in the NDL

So far he's scored respectably pretty well everywhere ... except Edinburgh .

But wouldn't Rew be on 6.00 as he now has a Prem average?

The classic response of someone who has been proven wrong. Either don't spout rubbish or have the good grace to be suitably embarrassed when called out on it.

Norick was robbed

Wait till the refugees from the Premiership join us!

I thought it was the correct desicion, but I could see it going either way.

Wrong as that would rely on Oxford dropping points. You have to hope (and it is quite likely) that Oxford lose at Glasgow. But one thing is definite - IT ISN'T IN YOUR HANDS

And averaging more than Leon Flint and Jason Edwards

That's the one, he also rode a few matches for Long Eaton which was where I saw him frighten the bejesus out of everyone.

Rye House - Trevor O'Brien 89- 93 Middlesbrough - Ashley Norton two spells in the 80s

I'm guessing you never saw Thierry Hilaire

I did write him down, but crossed him out as the brief was British League era. Les Hewitt (Coventry 1949-53) similarly falls by the wayside.

I've got two Australians - one from Middlesbrough and one from Rye House. Both did five did five seasons.

He was appointed from a five person shortlist following interviews. At least one of whom is a member of this forum.

We seem to say that every time they change it! https://www.svemo.se/vara-sportgrenar/start-speedway/resultat-speedway/resultat-bauhausligan-speedway

It would also have prevented Charger Nathan Stoneman guesting for the Cheetahs last year when covering for Josh Macdonald

Technically he was 'a minor under the age of 18' who can't be named.

Both their teams have fixtures next Wednesday

5 months = 22 weeks. So 44 race days. 7 teams x 12 matches = 84 fixtures Of these 8 are taken up by British Final, Pairs, KO Cup and World Cup week. That leaves 36 available dates. At 2 matches per night that's 72 matches. Still leaves 12 further matches to be scheduled. [A few of those can be squeezed into bank hols or world cup week involving teams without 'world cup tied' riders] ...but there were always going to some dates with 6 teams racing

Of course Buster has form: 22 August 1992. King's Lynn v Reading Awarded 75-nil to the Racers after Chapman unilaterally cancelled the match because Loram and Henka were unavailable.

Anyone with the IQ of a lettuce could have forseen that with fixed race nights where six of seven teams were riding and almost universal doubling up, it would result sooner or later in a situation where no (decent) guests were available. So why didn't the BSPL realise this was the inevitable consequence of their decisions? Oh I see.
