Injury replacements are not allowed.

The cut-off date for signings was the same for all three leagues - 12th August.

Dan isn’t a heat leader for Belle Vue

Art 16.3.4 - No Team changes will be allowed after 12th August with the effective date being 15th August, except for riders returning to the Team after injury who must re-take their position, dictated by their MA with their replacement being released. Best wishes to Dan, our thoughts are with him.

PETERBOROUGH have suffered an injury blow ahead of tonight’s Championship trip to Ipswich (7.30pm). In-form Danish racer Michael Palm Toft has been ruled out of the meeting after suffering a knee injury at King’s Lynn on Wednesday. The T.Balfe Construction Panthers will operate rider-replacement for Palm Toft at Foxhall, meaning all other members of the side are entitled to take one of his outings. The Witches have also been forced into a late change as Adam Ellis has withdrawn from his guest booking after a crash at Poole last night. The home side will now operate rider-replacement at No.1 for Rory Schlein, with Kyle Newman coming in to guest for Danny King at No.2. IPSWICH: Rory Schlein R/R, Kyle Newman, Cameron Heeps, Mark Riss, Nico Covatti, Coty Garcia, Drew Kemp. PETERBOROUGH: Scott Nicholls, Simon Lambert, Bradley Wilson-Dean, Michael Palm Toft R/R, Paul Starke, Emil Grondal, Tom Bacon. ENDS

It would need six rides (four programmed rides, one TS and Ht 15) to achieve that score

Tom’s guest appearances this season won’t earn him a 2018 PL average - his current Championship average would convert to well over 2.00 for 2019 assuming the rules stay the same.

It would be possible, in extremis, for a CL team to run with seven guests! absent No 1 (by average) - guest absent No 2 - guest absent No 3 - guest absent no 4 doubling up for other team - guest absent no 5 doubling up for other team - guest absent reserve - guest absent reserve - guest Clearly absurd, but as per Art 18.8 of the rulebook.

TS ride can be used in Ht 5-14 inclusive excluding Heat 8

The meeting concerned appears in the fixture list and is recorded as ‘meeting abandoned - result does not stand’ and Tim Webster had started and competed in the racing that did take place. Paul Hurry, as Jayne says, has not yet started a meeting for Kent since being declared.

Sunday 9th September is the cut-off date for play-off qualification.

The official Green Sheets, http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/files/downloads/p18_issue_22.pdf, show Craig Cook on 8.16 and Max Fricke on 8.04. Any other averages you may have seen are ‘for information only’.

The 8-day rule applies to guest appearances not to riders in a 1-7.

Peterborough’s meeting on 5th August has now reverted to a single Championship encounter with Ipswich.

COVENTRY can confirm Sunday's match against Mildenhall at Leicester is definitely ON with a 6pm start. The club cannot use the stadium for their usual 3pm start, but with the meeting pushed back by three hours, it does go ahead. Coventry Speedway would like to thank the Mildenhall promotion for their understanding in agreeing to the change of start time.

No it isn’t, but... Buxton have almost two points spare in their overall team total so Atkin could replace Cockle

It’s explained in the linked article towards the end.

+/- measures away match points won less home match points lost and is a measure of form when the number of matches raced is unequal.

You would be correct - and don’t forget that on a +/- basis Workington are actually the top team!

To clarify this is per 250 seats, not people, so each open section of the stand needs a steward regardless of its occupancy. For example 1000 fans could not be stewarded by four stewards spread equally across the whole grandstand, that would still require eight stewards.

David Bellego is fifth in Swindon’s averages so the facility available is RR only

To have the Grandstand open fully requires eight qualified Stewards together with a Level 3 supervisor; as a consequence of the overall seating capacity of the stand. A further three stewards are required around the perimeter of the track. If that number are not available to us, we have to reduce the effective capacity of the stand to suit. We appreciate this may mean some fans cannot view from their preferred seat, for which we apologise, however there are seats available for all who wish to sit to watch the racing. Our appeal for fans willing to undergo training to join the stewarding team remains open.
