Perhaps King's Lynn could fit in Kennett for Kingston & not exceed the NDL 42 pt limit?

Appears no time recorded for super heat by ref:- https://britishspeedway.co.uk/26results/edinburgh_07.08.26_res.pdf Re heat 9, it did appear Sedgy it came off unaided, & I spoke to a pal watching the live stream & he thought the same. Maybe something mechanical or a rut on the track?

Poole started using the facility for Bowes continuously since Berwick on 27th June. As the SCB regulation states: 010.5 FACILITIES g) injured whilst speedway racing This must be recorded on the Meeting Report by the Referee. This facility will apply automatically for a period up to a maximum of 28 days. The Promotion may apply to the SCB Co-Ordinator for an extension. Not seen this mentioned anywhere online, but must assume Poole have applied and been granted an extension of the 28 day maximum by the SCB Co-Ordinator?

IMO being optimistic to even consider Monarchs might get the bonus, imo we'll be doing well to win, given r/r for Lambert @ no2 (Edwards, Mulford, Scottx2?) will probably score more than Simon would be expected to get.

Having watched the Same video clip of the incident that Mr Hunter came to his decision on, I'm afraid it damages the credibility of the sport to be taken seriously unless the Speedway Control Board (Neil Vatcher perhaps?) do not public comment on this contentious decision. The likes of Football & Rugby, etc already do this, including stating any sanctions imposed on the matchday official where it is deemed a serious error was made. The SCB already publish sanctions on riders, so the same should apply to referees when appropriate?

Wood & Ritchings on previous displays here this season, would expect to heavily outscore the home reserves, so result might be closer than some expect. Just read Vale now replaces Ritchings so this favours a home win instead

It really is time that Harkess realises that he should step aside for a younger more savvy individual (Scott Wilson perhaps?) to team manage home meetings. He has previous history of such blunders and last night's howler probably cost us a home win. He also rarely takes the opportunity when he wins the toss, to take the option of choosing gate positions in heat 15 against Glasgow, which is an advantage, he seems blissfully unaware of. Time to gracefully step out of the limelight Alex😐

IMO the Championship clubs have already agreed they are not prepared to sacrifice their existing structure, including their race nights. None appear to be willing to join the Premiership and who can blame them, given the shoddy treatment when the likes of Birmingham received little help in trying to assemble a competitive side. Also the tv money received from Sky/Disney etc. never benefited CL clubs, so the potential demise of TV income doesnot affect CL clubs. So perhaps the choice for Premiership clubs is either apply for membership of the CL on existing CL terms, or continue to run in whatever form the 2026 Premiership becomes.

He certainly seems a hot 16 year old prospect, but realistically, I cannot believe the Poles would allow him to ride in the Championship. Re Slater Lightcap he's been around for a few years & has appeared in the UK & mainland Europe and has not shown any promise on his visits.

Perhaps the SCB will examine Nagel's absence on Tuesday & his reappearance in Denmark on Wednesday, to satisfy themselves that the circumstances are different from Francis Gusts being unavailable for the Oxford fixture at Poole on Wednesday 13th August. See link below SCB STATEMENT: FRANCIS GUSTS

The Invisible man (aka Nagel) is listed for Grinsted in the Danish SuperFinal tomorrow. Wonder if he will have made a miraculous recovery from his injury absence tonight 🤔

Morris would also be ineligible as he already guested for Redcar in the Play-Off semi @ Poole.

Monarchs were required to use 3 guests for Jonatan Grahn, Paco Castagna and Victor Palovaara due to international call-ups, at Berwick on 26th April. Unlike you pair of torn face Tigers, we just acceped it. Anyway it makes the second leg slightly more interesting, but the blessed well behaved Weegies😇 (they now wear angels wings instead of scarves) should still overcome the nasty Monarchs at the best ever race track known to man😁

Pity you hadn't bothered to check Lambert's performance at the Dale a month ago (14 + 1 from 6) before making your facile comment.
