Yet, according to some on this Forum, the holiday's are supposed to boost crowd levels.

But, whilst it's in the rules, it's going to happen.

Jordan Stewart for Matej Kus

Vissing rode in the Danish Championship Final yesterday.

Snapback cap. He messaged me a short time ago saying that it will be at the trackshop ready for collection, so maybe he's not there?

Matej Kus is missing, but according to the website, Tero rides for the Diamonds: http://www.newcastlediamonds.co/news/article.asp?id=100906

He told me on Facebook he was bringing a hat for me on Sunday, so if so, he's forgotten about the Finnish Championship !

Newcastle have their first meeting since the KOC Cup 1st leg defeat by Workington on 8th July. Glasgow will use R/R for Nathan Greaves.

Rene Bach is now at reserve so it will be a guest if he's out injured.

Good idea in theory, but how many promoters will stick to it? Hard to prove if they don't, especially if they pay the riders by cash.

If he's top of their averages, he has to be number 1. They don't have a choice.

As I say on another thread - it'll be the return of the Green helmet colour (or something as drastic).....

Which would, ultimately, be paid for by whom? Yep, the fans, as always.

I can't tackle stats at any part of the day, especially if they are from the BSPA !!

Not only did I read 5% wrong, I also didn't take into account that the Green Sheet list hasn't been updated correctly (or at least re-listed), as they haven't put the 5% on for Mason Campton as he is still listed at reserve!! It's early, you know!!

A guest. Away from home up to the missing riders average, at home +10% of the missing riders average - so for Rene it's 6.11 away and 6.42 at home

People are assuming that, because it's the school holidays, people are going to rock up at the speedway. Families still go away for a week or two because it's the school holidays, so don't assume they don't.

Not correct.

Looks like a pair of Mickey Mouse ears.... which is rather apt.

Most Championship sides are....

Met Office website says rain from 8am...... and continuing for the rest of the day.... https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/gctqycpdv#?date=2018-07-28

With the exception of Belle Vue, you could argue that the Premiership is a Southern League anyway, add to that, you could argue the Championship is a Northern League, with the exception of Peterborough (?), Ipswich and Lakeside.

And no doubt it will be heralded as "the most important AGM for many years," and then, as you hint, sod all will be done except maybe bring back the Green helmet colour....

1995 & 1996 were the years of one big league (1997 was 6 man teams in the Premier/2nd Division). Middlesbrough used the 'blank R/R' rule all season in 1996 when Shane Parker was the number 1. There was a supplementary rule brought in for the R/R for the invisible man.
