Whose missing?? Will they also be missing for the evening fixtures??

It might just be me, but all I'm saying is, that once a rider has completed a maximum quota of rides a Tactical Substitute shouldn't be allowed on any of said riders remaining programmed ride. If a reserve is getting 7 rides, in the main it means you're getting an advantage from their scoring prowess. Getting to use a Tactical Substitute on a remaining programmed ride that they can't participate in, It's almost the equivalent to 2 Tactical Substitutes a meeting. That's what I mean by loophole.

Our away team average from the 6 riders we have is an impressive: 27.61 Good luck on Monday Stars fans 🤣😬

Absolutely, yes. 100% Iversen would have done way better away from home than Harris at No6 too.

How can you call Iversen "over the hill" yet want to continue with Harris 🤣 They're both 42 🤪

Maybe I didn't explain myself clearly. I don't see any rules broken, it's more of a question. Klindt couldn't have taken his ride in heat 14 because he'd already done 7 rides. Heat 14 would have been Boughen as reserve switch or 3 riders only. My question is; should you be allowed a Tactical Substitute for a Reserve Switch / blank gate. In my opinion, a Tactical Substitute should only be allowed on a rider's programmed ride if they're eligible to participate. Klindt wasn't eligible.

I get it, I do, but there isn't a 'Rising Star' on the list that will make a significant difference to winning meetings. That's my point. 2 changes (1 being a No1) in the top 5 is far more important than replacing the No7 if you want to make a Play-Off charge.

There it is - 6 pointers couldn't beat a reserve. What does that equal? Inconsistent. That's what 6 pointers are. Of course it was the heatleaders that cost King's Lynn the meeting. 11 points from a possible 28. King's Lynn scored 3 from 10 in the 2 most important heats of the meeting when it's tight, heats 13 & 15. Both teams No6s pretty much levelled out the meeting. The No1 & No5s were, without question, the difference

They may do, but I don't think it'll be anyone who will make a difference. Any changes are pointless unless they find a genuine 8.00+ rider. I don't think having a pop a Boughen is fair either though by some. A replacement for him won't make significant differences to the overall scoreline. King's Lynn are way way to weak in the heatleader positions.

This is what happens when you fill the team with 6 pointers. "Strength in Depth" will NEVER work vs a league with proper heatleaders in it. Without repeating myself & many others, we told you so. King's Lynn only had hope of 4th at the start of the season, that's gone now without changes because Leicester have a proper No1. King's Lynn must make 2 changes minimum. Must (somehow) find a proper No1.

In tonight's fixture between King's Lynn - Sheffield, Nicolai Klindt had already completed 7 rides coming up to his programmed heat 14. I can't see anything in the regulations but, can / should you be allowed to use a Tactical Substitute on a reserve switch?? It makes no sense to allow that loop hole imo?!?

Didn't someone work out that the admission difference in inflation from the 80s to today is about 2000%?? I can't remember the prices for the top league in 1988 but inflation calculator says around £9.11 vs £25 today. Was it a £10 in 1988??

Answer to the question, no. When it's £60 a pop for a family of 4, the working class eliminate is lost. Speedway's biggest battle is 'middle class' pricing in 'working class' facilities.

Chris is also an ex Star too. I can't see us getting close to Sheffield to be honest. I'm sticking with 40-50 Sheffield. For me, it'll be an outstanding result if King's Lynn win.

40-50 Sheffield
