As far as I am aware, Dan's illness is not a Covid issue.

But, do the Leicester riders want to finish second? 3rd - 6th placed teams have 2 Play Off meetings guaranteed, with the chance of a further 2 meetings. 1st & 2nd have only 2 Play Off meetings.

And how do you think the "pools panel" would have scored the Panthers v Tigers score last night?

You can have R/R for an 'ill' rider but he is then unable to ride for 7 days.

Perhaps I am a bit of a cynic regarding Poole (Me? a cynic regarding Poole shenanigans in the past? Never ) but, maybe Poole thought that he may not get around the Leicester circuit without a few falls, and declared him ill. And later discovered that he'd had a fall in Denmark, which was a more acceptable reason for absence?

Needs to double up to make things pay?

Rory Schlein according to the Leicester match preview.

Anyone can run on any night, but Premiership teams have first dibs on a doubling up/down rider on Mondays and Thursdays.

Current GSA's could change if the rumours of the sad demise of Eastbourne turn out to be true. I believe that all Eastbourne matches would be expunged from the records with Eastbourne riders reverting to their 2021 starting average. So any team that has raced against Eastbourne would therefore probably have their averages re-calculated too.

They didn't have their 'own agenda' they wanted to be World Champion, and the only way they could achieve that was by joining the GP Circuit. So you think that the likes of Hans Nielsen, Leigh Adams, Jan O Pedersen, Erik Gundersen etc. etc. should have said don't want to be World Champion, I want to ride for my British club on a Saturday.

3.4.......... The U21 Rider must race in a minimum of 1 heat in each meeting. Final day 1 and Final day 2 will be classed as 2 meetings. If the U21 Rider is not nominated before the country’s last programmed heats 2 minute warning, he will automatically be required to replace the rider in Red or White. Ooops! you are talking about the U21 not SoN. No mention of a compulsory ride in the U21 Team Final.

Correct, according to the latest FIM TRA's.

Hey R & R, regarding the topic title, you do know that we aren't supposed to mention that it's in the pariah state, R*****a! People might have thought that Togliatti was in Italy!

Neither Poland nor Sweden used to ride on a Saturday, whereas Britain had the virtual backbone of their League(s), Coventry, Cradley, Eastbourne, Swindon, Bradford, King's Lynn to name a few, who had to lose their traditional (and most lucrative) race night.

Should change his name to Max Mosely Fan!

1 hour 30 minutes to do 92 miles! That's going some considering the time it must take to get out of central London!

Damn! Beat me to it!

You mean similar to how Coventry legally had Pawlicki at reserve in 2010 Play Off Final? Look how much you (and Matt Ford) complained about that!

Medal & Prize money for 1st place. Both had identical scores, Pawel beat Max when they met in heat 12, so would have been 1st anyway! Kolodziej had 3 heat wins Smolinski 2. (All stats compiled using KanDysoft spreadsheet!)

Also Live on the Channel 2 link now.

PLANNING RESPONSE SUBMITTED - Save Coventry Speedway It's a long item so will just put the link (above). Some Stirling work being done (once again) by the SCS Committee!

Too many camera changes during a race, in my opinion.

Morizès Flat Track & Long Track 3rd/4th September, cancelled.

That was because the promoter at the time went against all the expert advice and changed the layout to resemble a cycle speedway track!

Nothing new in that. Rick Miller (I believe it was) rode for Coventry at Swindon and then FOR Swindon in the second match of the double header!
