I fail to see the point of this. Ipswich & Kings Lynn have signed what, 3 riders between them? Sadly, Wolves look good (despite also looking cheap). Poole look magnificent if heats 13 & 15 don't count, and their are no TR's. P'boro look solid, BV & Swindon Ok, fail to see much average improvement in Panthers, Aces & Robins.

I see, was aware the day we flew back was a BHM. Will have to see if the amassed God Botherers mean we can't see the Black Madonna. I filled a lifetime of boots worth of Madonna paintings in Florence so if it's off limits, so be it.

Ok thanks, will purchase Lublin tickets in advance. Lord knows whats going on in Czestochowa the night we are there (Wroclaw are the visitors), but almost all the hotels are sold out.

Is there any advantage of buying tickets for Ekstraliga fixtures in advance?

What? Klindts gut busting all action style around a fabulous prepared & shaped track is what speedway dreams are made of. Get yourself to Wimbourne Rd for you weekly summer live sports entertainment fix.

I calculated it at 13.40.

Thanks, I take it that is from their 7.08 & 7.05 CL averages converted?

What averages to Bjerre & Barker start on?

A couple of heat leaders I'd hope! 13.83 remains if my maths is correct.

I don't doubt that, just playing Devil's Advocate.

Interesting selection, hope Bewley is fully fit for the start of the season. You do realise Lidsey averaged less than Josef Franc in Polish Div 3 last year?

I was umming & arring between 7-11.

Predictions for 2019, which could be the toughest SGP series for several years. Podium: Woffinden, Doyle, Zmarzlik Qualify for 2020: Janowski, Lindgren, Madsen, Laguta, Hancock. Close but...: Sayfutdinov, Vaculik, Dudek. Spoilers: Iversen, Kolodziej, Lindback, Zagar.

Bizare signing. Never shown the reliability or form of a #1. Koryna, Klindt, Jacobsen & Grajczonek to follow I assume?

We'll see. Booked GP tickets, booked hotel for Friday & Saturday, book flights Chopin (in 17/05 out 27/05). Lublin & Czestochowa meetings on the agenda. Lodz meeting on the Sunday would be great, it is on the way to Katowice.

Will keep eye on https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/i-liga/kalendarz

So no Ekstraliga fixtures the weekend of the Warsaw GP, any other fixtures likely that weekend? Will hopefully fit in a visit to Lublin & Częstochowa the following weekend.

Round 1 is.... Friday 4 April Częstochowa v Gorzów Zielona Góra v Toruń Sunday 7 April Lublin v Grudziądz Leszno V Wrocław All fixtures are to be televised next year.

Is it not time to move on from Harris & Nicholls?

I actually think riding at 2 is more difficult than riding at 3. I would tell Howarth that #3 is his spot for thr year unless he gets relegated to reserve. Mix & match 2, 4 & 5 positions. Masters, Thorsell, Morris & Schlien depending on which one of them has to be at #1, who rides well with who and the track the meeeting is held at.

What about if one of them rides at 2, with Howarth at 3 or 4

As Mark Riss finished the season on 4.17 he'd obviously fit instead of the 4.00 rider.

The difference between signing Bjerre (7.02) and Cook (7.54) means the Worralls, Bewley, Etheridge & a 4.00 rider can complete the team with 0.19 spare.

Does Lambert not qualify for the 2.5% reduction?
