Yes, much! Thanks

We didn't actually lose though! It was a draw after 15 that is why we have a league point

They signed him before that happened. They insinuated in the press that if the injury happened before that, they prob wouldn't have but they didn't want to go back on it.

Thomsen actually got 3+2. Which included a 5-1 with Lawson in H11 beating Scott Nicholls.

Brady rides for BV and the other two don't?

He rode last Saturday did he not. Scored well, so why can't he ride Thurs?

What a surprise!!

Be surprised if we win now Heeps has found his form. If we can keep it within 10 that would be good.

Sure Starke has been guesting for Berwick recently? So no excuses for him! Also doesn't Pearson ride in Poland?

They don't often start their own meeting threads though Skidder. Well not in the Champ section anyway. Although not much to say until a preview of what guests potentially on both sides.

Yep! I think if it screws the whole team, riders are less likely to pick and choose their meetings (I take it we are talking more generally now, rather than certain riders?). Unless they really don't care and then they will just carry on doing it.

I don't know what Joe's form is like around Oxford. But he would been there quite a lot just in NL as every final seems to be Oxford Vs Leicester! My issue with r/r is you need Hagon to be scoring double his average to cover and anytime you are needing a rider to do that then you are putting extra pressure on them. He still young and going to have up and down meetings. I think a guest would be the best option as even if they don't do amazing you can always get Hagon to take one of their rides anyway if needed.

Why not? We are not KL. We don't call meetings off cos one rider is missing! Definitely, puts too much pressure on the reserves otherwise. And if they manage to get a short term replacement in July then we only need to cover at Oxford on Weds.

Someone who doesn't ride there? He didn't seem very interested in BV when there was a choice

Not surprised really. Poland always been top of his list and UK way at the bottom.

Also isn't MPT injured? So even less of an issue. Waiting til Sept/Oct to do next stage of KO cup is stupid when they could have done the 1st leg at the end of June!

Blame Scunny, there is no reason I can see why they couldn't come on 26th.

They are better at organising though and only two less teams atm. One team moves up and it is exactly the same!

It is, Prem have already done KOC semi final between Ipswich and Brum. Please someone take us back to the sanity of the Prem.

If there is a spare date when both teams can do it, I don't see why it can't be done in June/July for example. Why wait til Sept/Oct. Pretty stupid imo. No wonder they finish late every season!

Don't think you'll wind up too many on this thread as in 2018 Poole were too busy winning the harder league whilst being bottom for half the season

Worky are at Oxford on the last Weds in June, so if we had another home meeting this month, would have to be against Scunny in KO cup?
