Yay - back at the top of the league as is our due!!

Going purely on averages............ Williamson 5.89 (but in fairness only from 3H/1A) The Gapp 5.79 (3H/4A) Sid Perks 5.33 (3H/3A) But I agree when it comes down to nuumber 7's he might well be the strongest - just a pity that the number 6 is one of the weakest.

Perks is a fair way down the pecking order for that honour I'm afraid. Mark Riss, BWD, Matt Williamson, Danny the Gapp and even Stefan Nielsen all a fair way ahead.

Gutted that Ippo threw a point to the Weegies at the close. But I suppose without Shanes it could have been 3 or 4 points so it could have been worse. I fully expected an Ippo win by 20 points or more but (through gritted teeth) the Weegie heat leaders all had good rides and Perry did better than I expected. Thought Dan the Wee Man would have scored better - started off with a good ride to keep Kingy behind him but didn't do too much after that. And of course the all conquering Ippo heat leaders Came and Saw but didn't Conquer. (Thanks Julius!!) Shanes is certainly a wanted man at the moment - if only the Weeg hadn't changed to a Saturday maybe they could have nicked him? Nice to see Sedgy ride the way I expected albeit only in his 4th ride. Nobody told him the track had been changed. Surprised at how well Mr. Heeps is going at the moment - the break from one of his 2016 sponsors is obviously not doing him any harm. Also good to finally meet the leg-ends that are Paulco and Willie - hope you are still on schedule guys!!

Jeez factor 50 weather. Struggling to reach double figures here. Even Armadiddle is getting better weather.

Is it ever anything else?!! I see it's warm back in weegieville!

Dan the wee 12 Year Old Boy was indeed riding for the A team last season - shame he was forced to defect in the winter but I blame the Manchester Mob for that. At least he looks nearer 13 this season. He did indeed score only 2 from 5 that night but that was when he was still overawed by the exotic company of the team mates he was riding with who were all legends and heroes to him. And of course he was wrongly excluded in his first ride after a clean pass on Ollie Greenwood. In those days he usually gave everyone 10 yards start from the tapes but his heroes eventually got that sorted out for him. The highlight for me was at the Posh Showoffground where he was unbeaten in his first 3 rides and finished with 10+2 out of our total of 52!! Happy days but if he rides like that at Fox Holes it could be VERY close even with Sedgy in Ippo colours.

Jeez nearly 3 weeks between home meetings. Really??!!!

Cheers mate! Sounds a great schedule. Hope the weather behaves. Nice that you start and finish in the same place! Just a shame you'll miss out on Smiler and the Riss Big Brother at Somerset!

If you're going into a shop that sells tablet, a wee bag would go down a treat! And if you come across a couple of cans of Sweetheart Stout.....!!

Good shout! Similar but in a blue & gold wrapper!

And Jimmy Tannock's Caramel Wafers!

You not joining up with the Massif (and me!!) during the match Paulco?

At least you have gor 2 meetings at Berwick out of the way and just 1 to go - Sedgy hates the place and it's his worst track!!

It's true it's been a really confusing day!!

Maybe weaker at Weegieville but I think at Ippo you are stronger with the r/r.

Yep I agree with pp. !!

Always been a huge Sedgy fan and he likes nothing better than hammering the Weegies so that's 5 heats sorted for the cow bell and hooter!!!

Deary me it looks like the problems are stacking up. Smiling Sam apparently put his shoulder out in the crash at Weegieville on Sunday but at least managed to ride for Wolves yesterday. But he has pulled out of a meeting in Poland today. Newcomer of the season Josh Pickering broke 2 fingers and sustained possible tendon damage in the same crash at Weegieville..So he becomes a doubt for Friday. And reserve of the season Mark Riss is missing on some foreign qualifier (same one as Cookie?). He is currently 3rd in the home averages on 8.53 (7.41 overall) but is still on his 4.0 till the new averages kick in. So never a better time to take on our boys. Hope they're all back and in better nick when I get to see them for the first time on Sunday at the Posh Showground!!

Sounds a bit shady to me!

Well the point of this thread has been well and truly murdered.

Mark Riss up there too.

That would be worth double Wagon Wheels and Irn Bru!!

But Slim Jim signed from Raith did he not?

Good stuff I aim to be there. Might be booing both teams though!!
