Second leg is on the Sunday, not the Monday, so you'll have Worrall. All the best Rob

As well as those already mentioned: Chris Louis' engine failure while well clear in the final of the 1996 PLRC at Bradford. Dave Perks losing his chain on the last bend of the 1984 NLRC at Peterborough and losing the run-off to Ian Barney as a consequence. Likewise, Kyle Hughes shedding a chain on the final bend of the 2009 NLRC at Rye House to gift the run-off to Craig Cook. All the best Rob

Was just checking the official Glasgow website for team news - it says "Match On". Has it definitely been called off? EDIT: just seen the tweet saying it's off. All the best Rob

Josh Auty is back. Rider replacement for Ryan - back problem after his Heat 15 crash at Sheffield and further fall at Plymouth. Josh Bates in for Wilko. Chris Widman for little Josh. Frtitz moves down to reserve. All the best Rob

KN1 is Kyle's dad. All the best Rob

Rachel Riley from Countdown? All the best Rob

Ah bless! Success in speedway is winning at home and keeping the faithful happy and in that aspect, Scunny have been more successful this season than Peterborough. Scunthorpe are one of the smaller clubs in the Premier League and live within their means. Despite that, the club has punched above its weight, and won the Premier League title as recently as 2012. All under one promotion since Scunthorpe Speedway's re-opening in 2005, with a nice continuity of riders. On the other hand, twice EL champions Peterborough really should be a heavyweight in the Premier League. So when's the last time you won the PL, Mr BigCatDiary? Or any variety of league title? All the best Rob

Don't forget MPT going back and scoring 15+1 against the side who were daft enough to drop him in the first place. The rock solid Peterborough side at the side of the season was their strongest this season, before they started tinkering. All the best Rob

Hard luck, Mr Blubby. All the best Rob

Edinburgh don't meet Glasgow in the semis should they get through. They face Somerset. Final to me looks like Somerset vs Glasgow or Newcastle. Don't think the other three stand much of a chance. All the best Rob

Well if you rate Branford over MPT, then he made the right choice in coming back to Scunny, because I'd prefer MPT over Branford any day of the week. All the best Rob

Stop worrying fellah, Nicki will definitely be back in All the best Rob

Uncle Len insisting that Karlis Ezergailis was called just "Karlis" All the best Rob

So you say you can't comment, but then come out with a comment anyway. And furthermore it seems to be a comment that says far more about you than either Ward or Pedersen. All the best Rob

4.92 with bonus, 4.00 without bonus. But he had a slow start. Take off the opening 3 meetings and it becomes 5.69 with bonus, 4.62 without bonus. All the best Rob

Fritz The Blitz has a new average of 5.00 on Sunday. He's at reserve. All the best Rob

1. Probably not. 2. Unicycling chipmunks. 3. Mitchell Davey. Hold on... 1. He's injured 2. It's not Edinburgh. 4. No and yes. 5. I expect a few will. 6. Newcastle. All the best Rob

It's still a ridiculous rule. There's been instances when a rider has scored double figures and not been eligible for the last race, while a team-mate who's scored a point or two is eligible. Make the nominated race exactly that. All the best Rob

I think it was a genuine moment of confusion - it's certainly not the first time a team manager has named an illegible rider for Heat 15 - and quite often the referee doesn't spot it either! The only delaying part came in naming Kerr, knowing he would be excluded, to give Bates time to get his bikes unpacked! It seems daft to me that Wallner (3+1) and Douglas (2) would have been eligible for Heat 15 and yet Palm Toft (6+1) is not. The rule is a bit silly. All the best Rob

Live updates (I assume that was Shads!!) were confused as well, which is why I checked with Rob G when I spoke to him. He seems he was only notified that MPT was not eligible with the clock already ticking down, and with no riders ready to go out (riders tend to start packing away once their night is over!!). Of course, it's the Clerk Of The Course in control down the pits, so it's quite possible that the two minutes ran out before the conversation between the COTC and the ref, to notify the ref that Lewis was the named rider. In any case, as the programme indicates, any confusion was sorted out, and Josh Bates was able to take his place as the reserve for the excluded Lewis Kerr. It's a shame that this wasn't announced on the night. All the best Rob

Official referee's programme shows Lewis excluded under two minutes: http://www.speedwaygb.co/16results/rye_house_19.09.16_res.pdf Which matches the conversation I had with Rob G after the meeting, when I asked him who had been excluded under two minutes. All the best Rob

After MPT was blocked, Lewis Kerr was nominated by Scunthorpe and excluded for two minutes, since the clock was counting down and there was no chance of him getting out there in time. There was then a fresh two minutes, with Josh Bates taking a reserve ride in place of Lewis. The rules are a bit daft if you ask me. A nominated race should be just that. About time the rules restricting the use of riders in Heat 15 were thrown in the bin. As already mentioned, the 8-day-rule regarding guests applies only to guest appearances i.e. a rider cannot guest at the same track within 8 days. Bates' Sheffield appearance is immaterial. The rule was amended a few years ago. All the best Rob

Final score: Rye House 48 Scunthorpe Scorpions 45. All the best Rob

15-point-maximum for Tommy The Gun, as he helps both Bandits and Scorpions finish above Rockets. All the best Rob

As long as the top eight remains the same: 1. Nicki P (no brainer) 2. NKI (another certainty, surely) 3. Emil (fingers crossed!!) 4. G Laguta if he'll do it. Jarek Hampel if he won't. Of course, what would put a different complexion on matters would be if Kildemand woke up and performed in the final three GPs. All the best Rob
