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)

With less than 20 minutes to go nearly 70 people packed into main grandstand. Now playing Nick Straeker Band - haven't heard this for 40 years!

Now playing something called "We love speedway" to tune of "Life is Life"

Shockingly contemporary. Shouldn't they be playing Boney M like in the UK

He's actually made more guest appearances than Harris!

Think you got one there Iain.

I think you mean "fit"

Championship play-offs won't offer many guesting opportunities. Only Masters and Morris have higher averages (and 5% home premium brings in Charles Wright and Douglas - but they may not even be in play-offs)

Surely one of speedway's biggest problems is that 90% of us do remember Wally Loak's tapes, 'King Cinder', Don Clarke and Graham Baker

Flint is not far off that trajectory, but with riders peaking later and later it would be unwise to rule riders out (Jason Doyle was 27 by the time he met that target). However it doesn't matter that most of them never become world class, because that is simply an unrealistic expectation. What is vital is that riders like Palin, Kemp and the Thompson twins are not discouraged and keep working to improve so that at the very least we have some riders to staff our league teams in five years time.

Does that make Espen Sola an even younger gun?

Can you spot Scunthorpe?

At last, on sale from 9am today (Oxford website)

Maybe he only read the second one You know, the one advising how to get tickets for Esbjerg.

Cook too high Howarth already riding for KL (guest for Iversen) Leaving Batchelor or someone like Ricky Wells based on converted CL average

Woffinden and Lambert v Valkovic and Buri will be quite a match up on Thursday

Already guaranteed - unless rules change

Getting an average and becoming an asset are two entirely different things though.

BWD had a converted average, not an assessed one.

On the one hand I think it will be good to see Connor get a run out against the Lions, but it will be a shame their fans don't get to see Jonas Knudsen - a very talented rider. And if he doesn't return a big disappointment for Berwick.

A bit selective. Oxford's return has been a roaring sucess and Workington looking positive for next year. But yes, we all know the general direction of travel.
