Based on league results this season Belle Vue have the edge.

The Rye House round is due to be re-staged this coming Sunday (20th September) starting at 5pm

How so? Last time Belle Vue went down 41 -49. Since then Cook and Fricke have upped their scoring and, although, Nicholls has slipped down to a second-string, this is a track he likes. Also, no Blackbird now and, being 8th on the EDR list, only the also-rans are available to guest

No it isn't now although it was on their schedule at the time I posted

You're right. I jotted down the figures for both clubs then managed to reverse those for Ipswich.

I wonder if Lewis Hamilton might have had something to do with it.

If Plymouth get maximum points from their remaining home fixtures (quite likely I would have thought) they would need only a three point win at Scunthorpe to go level with Ipswich but would get sixth spot by way of superior points difference.

Weather not great for tomorrow as you will be getting the rain which is ruining the UK today. Dackarna v Vetlanda seems to have the better chance. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2673730

Surpised it hasn't been called off already but, maybe, Len is no longer in charge of the weather! Edit: Meeting off.

I know it is around mid-September so I expect you are right.

Ed is due to be riding for Lakeside in their evening fixture at Coventry.

Certainly gives the impression of being a four-man team at home and a three-man team away.

We now know Robin is bound for Sheffield but still no news on the Rye House website. http://www.speedwaygb.co/news.php?extend.29424

What's going on. This is on the BSPA website but no news on Rye's own. http://www.speedwaygb.co/news.php?extend.29420

If the fixture were to be put back to 4th September we would be without Mikkel (Danish Junior Championship) and Kim (SGP Challenge).

Firstly, why would Poole want Ben in their squad? He doesn't score any points other than at our raceway. Secondly, Poole will have known they needed a guest reserve for this fixture from the outset so would have booked Ben a while back I expect.

I thought I had clarified this. Originally Rye House were to visit Plymouth this Friday, 21st but, subsequently, it was brought forward to last Friday. Rye House do not have a fixture of any kind this Friday. Something else now occurs. Last season Adam was in a similar SWC qualifier the day after our fixture against Belle Vue but opted to ride for us then travel out to Germany afterwards. He may do the same this time.

Quite right. I made the mistake of looking at the original fixture list which had them at Plymouth this Friday.

Not sure if Ed will be riding as Rye House are at Plymouth although, in the past, whichever team was at home had priority.

Danish Championships same night. ..also, who will cover Adam Ellis as he will probably have to miss this meeting as he is representing GB in the 'under 21 SWC' the following day

Plymouth seem to be in the driving seat now. They have Rye House, Scunthorpe, Newcastle and Berwick at home, Rye House, Redcar and Scunthorpe away, not the strongest of opposition overall. In the meantime, Ipswich have just four meetings left, home to Berwick (who they struggled to beat in the home leg of the KO Cup) and Peterborough, then away to Rye House and Somerset.

Anyone who missed last night's excellent meeting it is already on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxo790Etnbk

I'm sure you will and you'll still think it is the good life.

Phil Morris had the agreement from the riders to push the meeting through to heat 20. From there, they would not have to progress any further, unless conditions improved. So we wait, but they didn't, thus well done Phil in concluding the meeting as far as he did.
