It's a secret...

Just been announced via Twitter, that David Bellego will guest in place of Robbo, after Berwick's match at Somerset was called off.

You're quite right . Away meetings at Redcar and Edinburgh and at home to Edinburgh are the three matches that would have counted towards a 'proper' average.

Ty Proctor doesn't appear in any of Plymouth's 1-7 on the BSPA Greensheets for 2013 on the BSPA website, suggesting his appearances were as a guest.

James Wright used to do the same thing. A bit of water has gone under the bridge since then, though.

Might be difficult, as Peterborough are at Edinburgh and Redcar are at Plymouth on Friday.

If I remember correctly, Darryl wanted to do a Northern 4TT last season, but nothing came of it. Perhaps it's something to consider for this/next season? Perhaps have 8 teams in it: Group A Redcar (Thurs) Scunthorpe (Fri) Berwick (Sat) Newcastle (Sun) and Group B Sheffield (Thur), Edinburgh (Fri), Workington (Sat) and Glasgow (Sun), with the top 2 from each group meeting in the final?

That would be far too sensible!!!

As Brian Clough once said "Good lad!"

First of all I can't find my original post, but If I remember correctly I did say maybe (and I underlined it) as a possible (and I think I underlined that too) cause for lack of fixtures. I don't think I said it was the reason, just my take on it. Seems I was wrong. Humble pie being eaten. Secondly, if there is a lack of fixtures, why did the promotion agree to the fixtures at the start of the season? Surely you can't agree with something and then be unhappy with it later? Thirdly, if I did come across as 'patronising' then, sorry, that wasn't the intention. Just trying to throw a possible reason into the mix.

And I will continue to do so, when I believe they are right, so get used to it.

Richard Lawson's tweet was made long after the meeting had finished.

I hope you are enjoying that humble pie!

Except when there is an FIM meeting on? The Dick Barrie 'tape' was on well before 6.45pm on the night of the original staging of the GP Qual. There appears to be a bit of confusion to what actually happened last night. Hopefully someone will tell us all the facts soon.

It should, yes, I'd agree, but the way this season has gone so far, I wouldn't take anything for granted!

We could have, but I'm guessing George will have already switched R/R to number 2, which, if we went with guest at 2 and R/R at 3 for Robbo, putting Lewis R into heat 14 with a reserve (or not giving Lewis R an R/R ride), which could make us a bit weaker in that race (in my humble opinion, of course).

Not condescending at all (and quite how it's "a typical response" I don't know). A genuine question. Pablo thinks it's a poor choice, but gives no alternative. Looks like the Update site has spotted their error and now have R/R for Lewi K.

Not condescending at all. Genuine question. Pablo thinks it's a poor choice, but doesn't give an alternative.

Your choice would have been who? Just out of interest.

Simon Lambert guests at reserve for the Diamonds (info courtesy of the Sheffield Tigers website).

Theoreticaly the 'red card' is already available to referees. It has been implemented in the past (not very often, though).

I hope so, as he guested for us last week!!

I'd welcome Simon Nielsen to Brough, if Schrammy is going to be out for a while and Nielsen was to be released by Sheffield.

I could be wrong (I'm sure someone will correct me if I am), but I think the rule was brought in after Simon Green flipped doing a practice start at Newcastle during the Parade lap and had to withdraw from the meeting due to head injury.

I made that comment before knowing the extent of the injuries (as DIAMONDS did). And his girlfriend has since put on Facebook it might be that Lewi "is back earlier than we thought."
