Monmore certainly didn't have a lot to beat last night on sky, very little overtaking in the first half of the match.

Not sure the problem is so much money as race night, the top riders just won't commit to a Saturday night. Saturday in the PL isn't a problem, in the EL it's a major problem. Hemsley would have been aware of this from day one that's assuming no one told him which they clearly did.

It's better than just 30 points at Scunthorpe, I see Workington are still crap on the road.

Seems pretty clear cut to me, Doyle should ride for Swindon as this was in the calendar first.

Because it has to be a programmed ride, Morris was in place of Grondal. I thought it was good that George English had to remind the referee of that rule.

It was close, how bad is that, 15 last places.

Well let's hope so, been about as much use as a chocolate teapot in the last decade. Well it hasn't happened so far, so don't hold your breath.

It still needs to be released, the whole mentality of mentioning a problem and then not revealing what it is leaves everyone in the dark and causes damaging speculation. This sport nearly always keep the supporters in the dark and then wonders why they leave in droves. It will be interesting to see if we get another point of view from the speedway star, because this clearly needs addressing.

Good performance from the team tonight, four very welcome points.

No

You are asking questions they cannot answer, that's why they banned you, have you ever emailed the SCB or Nikki Jamieson at the BSPA, they normally reply.

Info on the Poole thread suggests it's just Huckenbeck and Busch that's been banned.

No thanks, well past his sell by

If they steer clear on injuries I cannot see anyone getting near Somerset, head and shoulders above everyone else with Glasgow second.

HOLUB rides mid track first and second bend and has been doing it for weeks, just never learns, BEWLEY summed it up after two laps and rode well, not for the first time this season a visiting reserve showing the home riders the best lines.

Many a true word spoken in jest

I don't doubt that for a minute, so why wasn't either of the websites explaining his absence, it's just not fair on the paying public.

BSPA round up states it is, very strange signing that raises more questions than answers. PLYMOUTH have signed Steve Boxall to replace Brady Kurtz who has quit the club to allow him to focus on other commitments. Boxall will make his debut this Friday, subject to BSPA approval, against Berwick, a side Devils team manager Lee Trigger believes could push Plymouth all the way.

Well with promises made by Buster Chapman and a new SCB manager shortly to be installed I sincerely hope the rulebook is sorted out and administered properly and fairly. We will see.

Unbeaten home record gets you jack Shyte if your away record is crap. Looks like you haven't learned that one from last year.

Peterborough told that Perry rides in the 1-5 when his average went to 5.58. As others have said they just make it up as they go along, I don't think anyone at the BSPA anticipated any if the PL draft riders would ever get out if the reserve berths so it wasn't considered.

It will of course be interesting if all assessed riders start at the same 7.00 average that the Scandinavians are saddled with. Then perhaps some of the teams will start developing British talent rather than taking the easier option and always looking abroad.

As has been explained before it wasn't so much a gamble but a decision made after May did his homework.

And isn't hindsight a wonderful thing, as it stands it wouldn't have made any difference, 3 extra points by virtue of the TR would have still resulted in us losing by one.
