You seem well set to finish 17th or higher, which is the only aim now the Blades are Premier League. It has been nearly 3 years since Rondon's hat-trick of headers, that was the last time it was enjoyable to be a Baggie.

Thanks for clarifying. Is it too late to re-declare? Even if down to injuries?

According to the GSA's on the BSPA site published on 16/08 Agertoft is still 5.00 & Shanes 4.78.

Going. Glug. Glug. Swindon by 14. At least.

I don't need to see the consequence of their choice. Gate 2 was the best gate on the night. Ellis won from it, Musielak won from it, Perks scored a point from it. If the Swindon team manager hasn't figured that out he is an idiot. He needed 3 points to get a losers bonus point, so take the best gate and put your best rider on it. Swindon got a 5-1. That gets them nothing more than a 3-3 would. They had the best two riders at the meeting. The only way they could have scored less than 3 barring a mechanical disaster was to hand Poole the best gate. Poole needed to put their only rider capable of out pacing Batchelor & Doyle on it, in Kurtz & hope Holder can sneak past either Robin as they queued behind Kurtz. Utter ineptitude all around.

Well Middleditch is equally stupid putting Kurtz off 4.

Gates 1 & 3. Rosco a tactical genius you are not.

One would think with choice of gates one of Batchelor or Doyle will win heat 15 to secure Swindon a point.

Musielak, wake up. Robins need you to win heat 14 off the best gate.

That's it. Over. Musielak, Jensen & Ellis rubbish after reasonable first rides. Let Perks have a few rides, at least he is giving chase.

If Agertoft has an official average now is the time to say thanks, see you at reserve next year.

Batchelor & Doyle could be unbeaten by a Pirate yet Swindon could still lose. No back up. Gate 2 is a massive advantage.

Have seen on Brummies site now. Sidecar accident, fractured vertebrae, bruised lung & heart. Not good, fingers crossed no complications. Agertoft at reserve & R/R for Shanes. Big ouch!

Well I'm a long suffering West Bromwich Albion supporter. It was on TV so I should have realised. Don't know if Owlerton, Brammall Lane or even Hillsborough are north, south, East or west Sheffield. I think Hillsborough is close to Owlerton judging by road signs? Will try that route next time. Thanks.

I see, wasn't aware of that. So no Charles Wright Why? That will halve the entertainment.

Yeah, I should have realised Sheffield United were playing, didn't occur to me. As I don't know the area very well I was not aware the Sat Nav would take us past Brammall Lane. It seems weird that it gets us the exit the M1 at Chesterfield rather than carrying on. Not a complaint, there are no speed cameras on the National Speed Limit A road, where as the M1 has been "Smart Motorwayed".

Thanks, wasn't sure which team Ellis rode for. Brummies have fixtures on 28/08 (Berwick) & 04/09 (can't remember, recent rainoff, Scunthorpe maybe). So he could miss both.

The Dansk Metal website is bad enough to negotiate on a PC, impossible on a phone. Ellis likely to miss any Brummies home fixtures?

Really? Thought King looked down on power. Kemp & Kennedy were awful. McDonald broke two chains on the start line. I thought Glasgow were very poor, I don't really know how Sheffield granted them a sniff of a point when Glasgow hit back with two 5-1's (heat 8 for sure & the Tac Sub Cook heat either 7 or 9) as watched from the fourth bend rather than by the gate for a change. Cant tell who drops the clutch first from there.

So any news on who is guesting for the injured Richie Worrall? Scorpions visit the Bandits & Rebels host Sheffield. So no guests from those teams. If I understand rules 8.66 is guest average allowance which rules out Kennett, Masters & Ross of those not involved at the nights other meetings. Can we get Charles Wright please

Gazo?

Bit underwhelming today, but if the commute is that painless might do it a little more next season. Thought Glasgow were poor, Sheffield hit them hard early & they seemed to have no answer. Was disappointed in both Bickley & Kemp if they're the future of British Speedway, savour Woffinden while you can. When Kemp missed the gate in heat 8 having heard about his track craft I thought this could be good. The Glasgow reserve & #2 had done nothing upto that point but he just went backwards. The Glasgow reserve & #2 did nothing else. Todd Kurtz impressed, didn't think he was that good. Sedgeman rode really well in heat 12 to keep Palm Toft at bay but protect McDonald who was good, less can be said about his primary chain supplier. Not sure what happened to Jensen in heat 13, didn't think anyone was near him. Don't know what happened in the rerun either. King definitely dropped the clutch before Cook yet emerged from the second bend behind. Howarth impressed in heat 4 great ride to pass Jensen. Glasgow won't win anything on this showing.

Impressed with this. Decent Wi-Fi & Chelsea v Leicester on big screens outside. The Glasgow mascot could give Chase the Ace a run for his money in the comedy stakes.

Howarth has his racesuit on so I guess he is good to go. Lovely drive up, took less than 90 minutes to get to Brammall Lane, then, Ugh! The two Tiger mascots are having a play brawl. Hope the Glasgow one wins as the Sheffield one decided to scratch his crotch right in front of me earlier.

This may have been covered previously but no Poles? All eliminated or did they not enter?
