  1. They can’t use Thompson for Flint it has to be a rising star or R/R,that’s what the rule appears to say.Seemingly that’s why rising stars don’t have Greensheet average.
  2. Just far too complicated.Should have just kept the rising stars at reserve or team position all season.IMO.
  3. Unlucky on the injury front,best wishes for speedy recovery to Jye and Dany.We will never know what the outcome would have been without injuries,certainly fell in favour of Tigers when Dany was unable to carry on.Still seems to be a gating contest though despite all the effort put in by the riders.
  4. I read it was 24 on its January or less than 3 years in professional league speedway.There was some excuse about Josh Bates.It’s just a farce IMO.I don’t know the rules but it certainly very confusing all round regarding averages ,seemingly a rising star that goes into the top5 ,still can only be replaced with a rising star and not a rider up to his average. That why they are not giving then an average on Green Sheets.Perhaps someone can clarify that this is the case.!
  5. A phone call to Kevin Doolan, should put him in the right direction ,he was the master at it IMO.
  6. That rule has obviously changed(it was a rule brought in a few years ago)because at Glasgow the riders parade without helmets before the meeting.Macgregor was the the ref against Edinburgh when I was there and he would have been announcing the fines if helmets had to be worn
  7. Can anybody explain why Sedgmen can move into the Team tonight,yet Berwick still have Flint in reserve,when do the averages change? Edit sorry Must have been a typo,as the line up has been changed back to Nicol at 2 on updates
  8. Go and find himself some real work as opposed to taking money under false pretences,paying £20 to watch him poddle round is not for me and a lot of others I’m afraid.
  9. So Batch average manipulation finally pays off.Did he tell Sheffield I wonder. Only in Speedway. As farcical as the rising star scenario,which will be a total mess by the end of season.IMO
  10. Best of luck to him.Hope he doesn’t burn himself out too soon.Not sure how many rides he will get Poland,but probably has to turn up and practice to keep his place.
  11. Think the Tigers will be a bit nervous about this one.Interesting!!
  12. Maybe,but thought they could swap reserves.(might be wrong though).
  13. They certainly straighten them up in Poland don’t know about rule though.It appears the ref is telling him through headphones.
  14. First 11 hts, 57.1,58.72,58.07,58.01,58.97,57.95,58.54,59.61,58.88,59.18,59.41. I was on back strait tannoy crap so if anybody has different go with them.
  15. They have important job in Poland,they seem to be in contact with Ref,and do a good job of straightening up riders who line up at angle,and moving up to tapes.
  16. Leon is in the European u/19 Final in Riga on 7/8th August,so he might well be missing Poole match at Berwick.Sure the website will let you know.
  17. Apologies done it on my phone without my glasses on while waiting to get into Ashfield(had forgot, till you texted me,thanks)
  18. Thought Leon should have been in Heat 8 given the start he had to the meeting.
  19. Certainly not a forgone conclusion.Barker is the key for Glasgow he is usually good at Berwick but don’t think he has top notch machinery these days, will certainly entertain though.Jye needs to get stuck in for Berwick.
