Well let's be honest you don't see much of that at Leicester.

Peterborough needs a competitive team to get good crowds for the speedway whether it's EL or PL, that's pretty much been the case for the last couple of decades or more.

I think the fact that Horton was the boss had a fair bit to do with it plus a race night that just didn't suit anyone. A competitive team racing on Fridays & Sunday afternoons has seen more than a few fans return and the management have also done a good job on getting the fans involved with the club & riders.

Looks like yes and no in that order, but I would hope it isn't £20 for just 16 heats. Apparently it was considered but your current H&S in the pits prevents it.

To double down/up they need both, the BSPA made an exception with Robert Lambert. He could ride just PL on a converted GSA but not D/U, of course that's subject to the rules being changed.

He doesn't have a current PL GSA

It's not hard to see where Infamy Havelock gets it from.

Any chance of a weather update around Swindon, has the predicted wet stuff turned up.

Garrity missing from the Poole v Coventry team tonight as his ankle is still badly swollen and they were unable to x ray it over the weekend.

Clearly you dont understand the concept of a BSPA shared event.

Looks like Thomsen took the Silver and Michelsen the Bronze

Hard to disagree with this statement This sort of crap has been going on for years and everyone knows the world and his dog all manage to gain access to the pits at every club. you could walk into any pits across the country and see girlfriends, kids, wives, parents, sponsors, ex riders, media, press, friends of riders, promoters, officials, other clubs riders, team managers, promoters and officials in fact just about anyone. It's bull$hyte and you know it.

To be fair it was Gary Patchett not Bratters

His final GSA is 6.18 I would dare suggest he will be one of the first riders on the Wolves team sheet for 2016 and EL riders cannot D/U without a PL average.

Has been confirmed for Sunday 27th September at 5.00pm. Hopefully both teams at full strength, should be entertaining.

Every club had reserved dates for all the cups and play offs this year.

I wouldn't hold to much store with that, it's called keeping his options open

I can only agree it didn't make for very good viewing at all. Difficult to say whether Belle Vue were that good or Swindon that bad but it's going to be difficult for the Robins to pull that back.

I agree about the weather forecast, it certainly isn't looking very good.

I think you will find that applies to every club

I think that says a lot about the Panthers teams in the way we have picked our guests and replacement riders and have a great team spirit, we have had a nightmare season with injuries and still got to the play offs with the second best away record in the league. Picking the right guests is a very important part of management as is paying them all on time, Peterborough don't have a problem on either score.

Surprised nothing on this so far, I see Tungate now guests for Ostergaard. Could be interesting. Weather forecast is now pretty good.

Of course that's assuming Peterborough will be granted facilities for their missing riders.

The addendum to the rules below was issued by the SCB on the 2nd April 18.11.3 This is re-written with an addition, that was approved at the BSPA AGM to the rule as written in the 2015 Speedway Regulations The Guest must be .................then the higher of the MA’s will dictate eligibility. The exchange rate from the Elite to the Premier is to multiply the Elite League average by 1.4 but as no Elite League rider with an average above 6.00, at the start of the season, is permitted to participate in the Premier League, then they cannot participate as a Guest. (NB. This is the same procedure as outlined in SR 18.6.4)

No it applies to guests as well
