Last Oxford Chargers meeting: 1 FX (Foord) and two falls that did not result in races being stopped (Simpson and Spencer) Yesterday at Mildenhall 5 exclusions due to falls: Halder (twice), Roynon, King, Watts. Five does not equal one!

Poole could lose both matches to Oxford and still qualify (e.g. 42-48 at home, and away, plus a win v Plymouth of at least 48-42). I'd rather like Scunny or Edinburgh to qualify as it gets a bit boring with the same three clubs dominating. PS I am assuming ties are decided on race points. I haven't seen any supplementary regs for Summer Trophy. Sorry Jubilee Hoo-ha

It's Østergaard. This is set out in the rules: the higher ranking in team order goes to rider with higher average in previous month's GSAs

Although Summers would struggle to guest at Armadale and Poole in the same evening.

You are spot on. http://www.gbspeedway.com/2017/meeting.php?mc1=x&mc2=f&mc3=x&mc4=Sheffield Tigers&comp=CPb&meeting=1509 The previous attempt to stage it on 18 Sept was rained-off, for that Redcar named 6 guests and r/r

Best team I can construct from riders available would be: 1 Wells 2 r/r for Morris 3 Summers or Starke 4 Dan Thompson 5 Sedgmen 6 Heeps 7 Morley

The best race of the night was France turning a 3-6 into a 7-2, so not sure why you single them out. Everybody found it hard to pass.

Agreed on both points, but think this is a good alternative http://www.gbspeedway.com/2022/search.php?mc1=s&mc2=x&mc3=x&mc4=x Particularly the ability to search

A fair question. I imagine Kyle Newman would welcome such opportunities. Last season left teamless when Eastbourne folded, and this dumped by Oxford. Think you would want to restrict it to riders with fairly recently established GSAs to prevent manipulation.

Those are the averages for determining team order - the equivalent of our green sheets, so a fair representation. While we've used different data sets I think we agree on the central point. https://www.svemo.se/Sporter/Resultat/Speedway/Serier/BAUHAUSLigan2022/Snittlista/ PS The stats on the svemo site are great, but why is it such a pain to navigate?

Lindgren 1.778, Nilsson 1.453, Aspgren not classified (he's only had two rides in the Elitserien). I'm using figures from SVEMO site of all 2022 Elitserien fixtures.

Kvech had an elder (?) brother so maybe that contributed to the confusion.

Good job for GB that Zagar wasn't here. Could have been 5th then

Would that be heat 23?

Damn that's my cover blown, back to witness protection for me

Look on the bright side at least we are in top 6 and not trailing Norway

And for comparison only one Swede (and it is not Lindgren!) above 1.800

Levishyn (and Salonen) are already in the Polish system so I doubt if you could persuade them to take what would be regarded as a step down in their career progress and come to the UK (although Jonas Knudsen who is at a similar level and age has). And how long would it take to get a visa for someone who already has full time employment (and probably a history of residence) in Poland?

If you think this is getting silly wait until the line ups for Plymouth v Birmingham next week

As it happens I missed this (SoN duty - someone's gotta do it), but I'd happily pay for 7 heats featuring Josh Pickering. PS If only Barker had aggravated an injury unloading his bike

That would be my answer as well. Incidentally Redcar did once name 6 guests and r/r for a match at Sheffield that was rained off. I think they 'only' used 5 guests and r/r for the restating.

But isn't Lebedevs injured too (Latvia certainly missed him tonight in the SoN)

If Finns and Poles tie for second I take it Finland go thru because they beat () Poland in ht 12

Can someone check to see if f-s-p is OK!

Grandstand filling up nicely, over 80 now. I'd estimate total crowd of 550 (less than some NL matches this season)
