I see Berwick and Worky as the outsiders ,but can't see Edinburgh or Somerset wanting Scunny but one of them will get them.I fancy Edinburgh to finish as Champs with Scunny as dark horses.

Howarth career has really stalled for some reason,though he would have made the breakthrough after seeing him progress last season

Regarding Berwick,I don't think it would matter who finished top as if it was Somerset you cannot see them picking Berwick and the 1st placed cannot pick runners -up if I am correct in my thinking,which IMO would be Edinburgh if they are not in 1st place.Edinburgh,Workington Berwick is my guess of play-off group.Scunny are dark horses for title IMO

Think Big Ed doing a bit of late night poaching.

That is exactly what is happening ,sadly.

What is the difference from passing as a reserve and passing as a Heat Leader position?david Howe was the Scunthorpe reserve until the averages changed.Good pass though at a vital time.

Think you should check the facts before making such comments.

No problem but I see it as too many fixtures to full fill in a summer season.you could run into Sept if you had a bad summer.(it's officially autumn now)I think all speedway should be finished by the end of Sept at the latest.I realised that RAiN is the biggest problem nowadays where as In the past we held meetings in wet conditions which probably helped.Nobody want to stand about cold October nights.

Think you are missing the point IMO

While no one can predict a British Summer regarding the weather ,it was a serious error of judgement from the BSPA to allowed these extra fixtures against teams of your choice ,it makes a mockery of a league system IMO

It's pathetic that aTeam as strong as Cradley use R/r in the NL.

Think that is a big factor.I seem to remember Cribby playing around with different cams all the time.Mind you he rode with avery different style to a lot of others in them days.He revved the ar#e out of the bike into the bends.

Why they decided that you should race some Teams twice has messed it up IMO it gives false sense to the positions if all teams don't complete fixtures.still that was the rule at the beginning of the season.Only in Speedway once again!!!!

Only an idea,but obviously if he was miss because of injury,you would put him back in the 1st one he was fit.we need to create a better way way of seeing young talent showing if they are up to the challenge.Although think speedway has got bigger issues to deal with first than my daft ideas

He never rode in it.

Personaly I think if Matty is coming back on Sat he would be as well trying on Fri just to see how he feels and gets a spin under his belt , it's a nothing match anyway and he has to be on the ball in the play offs if we want any advantage of hin at reserve.

Might sound daft but perhaps the bottom 4 in any GP should miss the next round and 4new riders from order in GP challenge get in if they stay out the bottom 4 they stay in and same again happens.that way you might get more consistent riders in the bottom end of the GP and a fight to stay in the competition.The 4 that drop out should always be the ones back in the next GP .Lets face if your in the bottom 4 more than once your not likely to effect your chances of being the Champ.(just a suggestion to freshen the gps up)It gives an outsider the chance to prove he is good enough to stay in if he gets the chance.

Thanks

Are there many riders with these engines,are they modified by the tuners or can you buy one of the shelf?

Thanks ,what is the advantage of this.

I am quite interested in the offset engine bit,is that to do with the frame design or the engine plates.

Do points for /against not count in the event of all the teams finishing on equal points in the group.Surely can't have replay of groups.

Sept 14th mentioned somewhere for re arranged fixture

Just shows what these engine tuners can do if you pay the cash,makes you wonder what "tricks" they use,to get them working so well.You need to have a lot of faith in them especially if there doing rivals engines too.

We can't have it both ways,but we can watch the same 7 riders each in our "own" Team would be a good starting point IMO .When the Second Division in 1968 there were very few established riders but the racing product was ok.
