Meeting OFF

Or the Team Manager - like a lot of things on Sunday night.

Glasgow away sorted. Tues 10th Sept (7.30pm)

Ooops!

Not the first time he's done it at Brough Park!!

Good win. I hope we never see that referee again.

Thought as much.

Tell us more.

Sounds like most of the other tracks in speedway then.

Steve was guesting for Leicester at Birmingham.

I am pretty sure what they said at the start of this year was it would be gradually reduced over the next three seasons.

I reckon with Steve or Richie in that that team it could be over the points limit (especially when I think they are going to reduce the limit by at least a point for next season) although with the 2.5% might be ok (haven't checked!). IF Tero continues in Poland I doubt he will be back and I think you can forget Rene Bach too.

Hence "perhaps" and "(hopefully)".

Now edited as I just have done! LOL!

The draw was the draw and we made the most of it. We are cup finalists, so should make the most of it. Granted, League form has been disappointing and, as I told Martin Phillips in the pits last night, I expected a lot better from this team and so did he. Perhaps (and hopefully) lessons have been learned.

I think (although not entirely sure) the idea might have been that we would have decent chances away from home and hoped the riders not used to Brough, would do so in time. Sadly, that clearly hasn't worked out. The idea of the lower CL average at the start of the season was to try and get back to the days gone-by when the top flight was just that and the CL was the next level down. Perhaps there has to be an even bigger difference in the averages between the two leagues to achieve that?

You clearly haven't been watching Max regularly at Brough Park this season. Last night he took a heck of a knock in heat 2, so you'd be a bit slower than normal for the rest of the night after that. Max has been one of the few shining lights so far this season. Along with Matty Wethers. Danny now scoring what he should at home now. Edwards finished second in the U-19 British Final, so has something about him.

15th Sept., I believe

Assessed (top-ish) riders are coming in on a 7pt ass ave now rather than 9.00. Does that not tell you something?

May seem a daft question, but if he's riding on a British licence how is he ineligible?
