Campos, Sealey , Portwood all rode for IofW last year and finished bottom of the league. Plymouth came within a point of winning the NT last year with them 3 in the team.

Cracking start by Plymouth regarding team plans for next year. Local riders Richard Andrews and crowd favourite Henry Atkins named earlier this week. Also named today on the BSPA site Adam Roynon Plymouths rider of the year last season. With local ex-rider Matt Bates taking over from Laurence Rogers as team manager. Looks like the Devils are on the up. Looking forward to a good season next year.

Watched Hume, Hunter and Bowtell in there 1st season with the Raiders, all were fast but lost count of the amount of times they fell off and threw away points. All 3 have progressed well and that's what the NL should be all about bringing on the youngsters.

Guests to be used for doubling riders was in last year so presume it will be the same next season. Only problem would be if R/R had to be used for the lesser of the top 2 riders if the rider was out injured.

Edwards I believe has just turned 15. Can a 15 yr old also ride in the Championship? Thinking of Lakeside .

Where has the 7.22 average come from Ben?

Mildenhall stated earlier in the season that Kemp was signed on for 2018. If he had just rode for Mildenhall this season the 3 NL meetings and National Trophy meetings to ensure he didn't get a higher starting average i could understand it, but he then keeps guesting for other teams whilst dodging Mildenhall league fixtures which to me isn't right.

The replacements for Mountain and Armstrong at Plymouth were an SDL rider Nethercott and the Eastbourne reserve Matt Bates. How's that for putting out a weakened team denying the Plymouth public of a decent meeting, and also no Kemp or Sam Woods at reserve another SDL rider. The public at Plymouth were very short changed by the team Mildenhall put out last. Friday.

Probably down to making sure Kemp doesn't get an average if he was to ride in league meetings, making sure he goes into next season on a 3 average.Only Jenkins and Ruddick of those named rode for the Tigers last night at Plymouth depriving the paying public of a close meeting.

Or make it a double header.

Different rules for the Play Offs. This is a cup match.

Haven't seen any reply to this post as all the posts now seem to be about the clubs statements. So I will ask again out of curiosity what was the crowd size like last night compared to the rest of the season.

Plymouth qualified for this final way back in June. If it had been run then . Plymouth would have had a full 1-7

Should have done the lottery last night. Afraid to say my worst fears came true and Mildenhall nicked it in a run off. Well done to both sides I bet the atmosphere was cracking. I hope the final was well attended.

Said in an earlier post that Devils needed at least to win by 20 at home. It will be close on Sunday and much will depend on if Edwards can nick a point or 2, a lot to ask of the young man even though 15 yr old Drew Kemp was flying at Plymouth last night for Mildenhall. Very impressed by Kemp. Bailey and Morley will be ok for a few pts. Young Atkins should do better than last time but can't see Andrews or Walker doing much. Hope it's A Devils win but don't think 18 is quite enough.

Mildenhall much stronger for the Home leg with Mountain returning and Anders Rowe replacing Ruddick ( taken from Fen website) For The Devils Bailey and Jason Edwards guest at 5 & 6. Devils need a healthy lead from the 1st leg. Got to be looking at a lead of at least 20pts to take to Mildenhall on Sunday.

Both legs are showing on my BT guide planner for next week.

Hopwood riding again, last night for Bailey tonight for wood I think.Regarding the ban. I would guess that the thought behind banning him from only home matches would be to penalise the club more . If you get a guest in for an Away match you could get in a track specialist which would be to the clubs advantage.

Press release only says Jason replaces Connor for the Home meeting. Might be that he will replace Cousins at Belle Vue.

Harris and Nichols are free at the moment.

Both riders were not top of their teams averages when original line up was made.

Wrong on both counts.

Quite agree and free entry to those with rain off tickets from the original DH meeting. This issue shouldn't even be up for debate, promoter has the nerve to think he's doing us a favour by reducing the price. Can see a lot of angry people at the turnstiles.
