He'd done 5 home but only 1 away (Plymouth last year), so it would have been a while before he'd have got a proper average. All the best Rob

Shads & B4E, sorry I didn't spot you last Friday or I'd have come and said hello. ScunnyDan, the job you did was absolutely fine, so stop worrying. Even Mrs G said you did great. I suspect the Bandits fans were directing their wrath at the referee, who had a shocker. The re-run for Heat 7 was perplexing. Even worse was Heat 6, I couldn't understand what the Dutch lad was supposed to have done wrong. All the best Rob

Wolverhampton, Poole, Belle Vue and Lakeside in the play-offs; Swindon fifth; the rest nowhere. All the best Rob

Why do you need SCB to confirm? You can read the rule, as I well as I can. It makes no mention of the rider needing to be injured on the night, so Swindon could have used IRR last night. All the best Rob

It does include them, but I'm not confident that I've got every track from this period. Rob Hollingworth has also competed in amateur meetings, and those need to be captured as well. All the best Rob

Given Perry's past form, in particular in the 2014 EL, I think they were every chance he would clean up and gain the average that he has. But fair play for him doing so. I guess we'll see what happens now. I still think Perry should go back to No 7. He's the only protected rider in that line-up and therefore he has to be at No 7. All the best Rob

Holub could only ride at No 6. It left Scorpions weak at reserve. Prior to this season, Scunny could have redeclared with Wilko at 6 and Holub at 7. This season, you can't, because there has to be a protected British rider at No 7. In a way, it's a good thing, because it means the likes of Josh Bailey keep their position all season long. And little Josh definitely deserves that position. The Peterborough situation is curious. I can't see how anyone other than Perry is eligible to ride at No 7. All the best Rob

So is it Perry now down to No 7 (only the protected British riders are allowed in this berth), with only 3.00 replacements allowed while he is out injured? All the best Rob

I've so far got Rob Hollingworth on 57. I'm pretty sure I've missed some as well. Need to have a more thorough look. His big bonus is 1977, when as well as being an ever-present with Boston, he almost did every meeting with BL Wolves that as well. And, of course, his 2000 to 2005 comeback mops up another set of tracks. All the best Rob

SCB, once a rider has done four home and away, he can be dropped. An average marked up to the minimum is not deemed an assessed average. All the best Rob

Steve, the modern-day PLRC at Sheffield still works well. Sadly, the ELRC has suffered due to rider withdrawals and not really having a proper home; it's nomadic. Hopefully this year's event at Brandon - possibly the last-ever at the track - will draw in a big crowd. All the best Rob

As I said, we had to let you win something. We wanted the BL, KOC, LC and MC - so we let you win the Easter 3TT. I'm not even sure if there was a trophy for it A few years later, there was the Thames Valley Trophy, which was a mini-league between the three clubs rather than a 3TT. I think that was home and away on the same day. Oxford and Reading always tended to be home and away on the same day. Late May Bank Holiday for the League Cup, and August Bank Holiday for the British League. We won some and lost others of those, since Oxford and Reading were quite well matched, whereas Swindon were easy meat. Those were the days All the best Rob

Sidney, you remember incorrectly. It was Oxford on Good Friday morning, Swindon on the Saturday evening and Reading on the Easter Monday morning. There weren't two meetings in a day for the 3TT. But the meetings did draw big crowds and were memorable. The Cheetahs normally flopped in the 3TT, because we had to let Swindon and Reading win something All the best Rob

If it's such a non-starter, then how come you've posted on it more than anyone else All the best Rob

Who made you judge, jury and executioner? All the best Rob

On the contrary, SCB and I once had a 5-page discussion caused by a badly placed comma and how it possibly changed the interpretation of a certain rule All the best Rob

Er, that's better All the best Rob

The rulebook is actually quite clear on this occasion. All the best Rob PS I'm glad you don't write the rulebook - all those misplaced apostrophes would drive me mental

Reserve replacement is allowed according to rulebook. All the best Rob

Because Berwick didn't know the rules? Alex Davies hit tapes and replaced by Stefan Nielsen at Scunthorpe last week. All the best Rob

Is it? maybe we need a thread to discuss that. All the best Rob

As it's a thread about SCB, we must maintain averages. So far SCB's average score is -500,005. All the best Rob

What a pointless reply from HS All the best Rob

Is minus -1,000,000 allowed? All the best Rob
