At the track not raining but cloudy. Riders changing bikes warming up.

You have to wonder what Sheffield make of his shenanigans, and will we see his Sheffield scores improve. No doubt now Batchelor is in the Championship he will be making sure he has an average attractive enough for him to get a team place next season. As they say only in speedway.

He`s had a couple of matches as No8 in Poland for his club ROW Rybnik.

Delighted to see Leon Flint getting a team place in Sweden after signing for Valsarna in the Allsvenkan league where he will make his debut next Wednesday.

Cloudy but dry

Tai will continue to make a very decent living at league level in Poland and Sweden for as many years as he wants and will probably be in SGP for the next few years but I don't see him being World Champ again.

And on the Edinburgh site now. https://www.edinburghmonarchs.co.uk/news-centre/article/2021-07-31/crang-joins-the-monarchs

It is but I think its only protected against a team using a tactical substitution, a reserve switch is allowed.

Tai just isn't Tai anymore, reached the top, financially secure, young family.

Did you get that from our un-official official spokesman.

Better than I hoped for, at least Berwick do have an achievable target to aim for in tonight's return match though I still make Glasgow big odds-on favourites. At least its good to see Arron Summers back winning races, but we seem to need to convince Jye Etheridge he is racing for Belle Vue........

Dooable but unlikely IMO, the loss of Leon from a reserve position will be Berwick`s un-doing. After the efforts of a week or three ago a home win would be nice and even if its another home defeat a better performance is a must.

Dull but dry start to today and forecast to stay that way https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2655819

Home track decision from Ackroyd

I think we have to accept that Tai Woffinden isn't the main man anymore.

Leon Madsen looking nailed on winner right now.

Maybe Birmingham will look at going back to National League level.

Does Kenneth Bjerre still base himself in this Country.

Fine in practice how what kind of team are you going to be able to put together, remember nothing puts off fans than a few home defeats and by their own admission it looks like Birmingham are down to their hardcore now.

But that doesn't happen every year where you have riders of that calibre at reserve, if Belle Vue or Kings Lynn chose to they could put Bewley and Lambert into their top five and introduce another Under-21 rider at reserve. But to answer your question yes Lambert and Bewley could stay at reserve until they reached twenty two, and no I don`t think it be holding them back as they be betting extra races every week against top five riders and more time in the bikes.

Apparently it says on the official site from the un-official spokes man that he is.

Newcastle will never get a better chance of a home win.

Possible but the damage will be done on Friday night I`m thinking.

Maybe the time keeper down at Plymouth needs to change the battery in his watch.

The rising star idea seemed to be a good one at the start of the season, sadly as so many good ideas speedway has its be screwed. If our rule makers are serious about promoting young British riders then their rising star averages should be protected, in fact personally I would go further, I would like both reserves to be British Under-21 riders with their averages protected until they reach 21.
