So KT is back. And with a shiny new visa!! Rest of the team obviously picks itself.

2 o'clock or 6 o'clock but not in the team.

I feel your pain!

Indeed. Would find heat 1s a bit easier if he sharpens up his gating though. Could be a good battle trying to keep Cookie out of the number 1 slot!

But not on a bike!

Rew won't be at Edinburgh.

Sounds about right!

He won't be at Brum.

Harris will be at Glasgow. Pickering at Edinburgh.

Nightmare team you mean.

Living but not riding.

£££££££££££££££££££££££££££ rattling in his pocket.

How much do you want back?

Midlands maybe?

But Sam has been with Edinburgh since about 2014 and has just got better each season. I think some supporters may even have paid his transfer fee. So why should he have to give that up. Did Carl Stonehewer not ride in the GPs while he was with Workington? And Jack Young won the World Championship while an Edinburgh rider in Division 2. And Ivan Mauger was way too good for the Provincial League in the early sixties. But they all put bums on seats and opposition supporters were desperate to see their guys come out on top against them. Edinburgh own the contracts for Sam and Josh Pickering so they shouldn't be deprived of watching them. (Though if they can't get a venue sorted out soon that's what will happen.) If the likes of Edinburgh are prepared to build a team within the points limit that still fits in the likes of Sam and Josh why should it matter to anyone else?

You should change where you get your grapes from.

Someone has started on the alcopops early.

That's pretty brutal. Why is gate 3 bad?

But but but - all our team has already been allocated elsewhere for 2023 - well according to BSF team lineups for next season!!

Well my app forecasts heavy rain from 6pm today till mid-morning tomorrow. And this mornings rain till 1pm.

I assume discussions have probably started re the use of Armadale for a bit longer as part of the statement on Edinburgh's website "Further talks are currently taking place to establish all possible options forward." I may have misconstrued your question but you mentioned a million for 2023 at Armadale.

Who said it is? Is it not more likely to be the cost of buying the site?

Is the track lighting at the Showground that much worse than at the NSS? Looked pretty dim espec bend 4.

Leicester won 39-50 earlier this season at Armadiddle!! Nick Morris just managed a couple - well 14 really!!

Sometimes riders need to be protected from themselves. There's discretion and valour and all that. Sam should have been overruled - he may not even have known just how well Paco had been going.
