Do you get IRR for a previous injury?

Another decent meeting with the Cook heats just sublime. Ht15 was one for race of the season as Cook had to take Schlien and Harris from the back. Never saw a single heat like that from Harris last season. Glasgow were too inconsistent in the middle order with Vissing as slow as a week in the jail and Jensen persevering early on with an ineffective inside line. Connor Bailey looks raw but certainly not scared of opening the throttle which caused his ht11 crash. We now need a run of home meetings to get fully back into the groove. Bring on the 0131 next week.

Harris looks to be in a bit of form, be a rare sight to see him ride Ashfield as a heat leader. Reserves and second strings will be crucial. Looking forward to it.

Lack of meetings is a problem for everyone as it was last year. Needs some creative thinking to solve so dont expect anything to change. It is immensely frustrating though.

No, I agree but to go back to the original point, speedway isnt a £10 sport at CL level and wont be again.

I understand diluting the standard again with the ridiculously low points limit but speedway at CL level at most clubs hasnt been a £10 sport this decade. Its currently £10 to watch BV Colts in the league below.

Just doing the sums. I get the bit about people spending extra at the shop/bar but will they each spend another £7 to match the normal entry price. I wish Berwick the best of luck and hope they get some retention from it at future meetings.

For every 10 adult customers who paid in last week they'll need 17 to pay in this week to achieve the same revenue. Is it even achievable? Definitely a brave move but perhaps £14 or £15 would be a more realistic figure.

Very impressive tonight in a high quality field.

Superb effort tonight to get the track sorted for the GP Qualifier. The less experienced riders took time to get things sorted but Nicol, Moi and Smetana were good value after their first few heats. Cook was imperious on his home track but Berge, Thorsell and Tungate were pretty awful, puts the alleged Premiership into perspective. The only downside being Harris made it through the French qualifier apparently. #wtf

Seriously? The only thing he is consistent in is being inconsistent. Read the Glasgow 2018 thread, twelve months ago we were also perplexed about his performances and were actively seeking a replacement whilst watching his average tumble.

Edinburgh have made the change at the right time with Sedgmen due to drop from 6.10 to 5.70 from 1/6. Victor comes in on 6.25. Think we'll have seen the last of Sedgmen.

Sheffield look like they need another set of averages to find a better balance. Kemp looks like he needs a go at reserve whereas Nicol looks like he could hold his own at 2. Anderson would be better placed at 3.

Another decent meeting at the Field of Dreams, despite the scoreline. Starkey returned to form, Jensen was awesome and Bickley chucked in some good points against arguably the strongest reserves in the league. Broc Nicol was superb when he gated and looks a thoroughly decent prospect, fast and stylish. King Danny started well but faded as he usually does and Howarth was solid but unspectacular. Not much you can say about the rest. So its onward to the next round, hopefully we can get the Scunthorpe rain off rearranged for the next few weeks as otherwise we only have 2 home meetings from now until the end of June.

Think we all do but cant see it with a rare off night.

Its a massive gamble that will only pay off from next season if he turns out to be ok. Bickley was poor for most of 2018 but has used the experience to good effect for this year. We were getting nothing out of Chessell so you could argue we have nothing to lose however there is no doubt Connor Coles helped us to victory at Eastbourne and again at Edinburgh with paid 5.

With a 2018 average of 6.25 it can only be for Sedgmen.

Nope. Tornqvist, Penfold, Juul Larsen, Horwood, Davey etc though for me its the shameless Wolbert by a country mile. To be fair to O'Malley he had a tidy style when in the mood however had poor equipment and being 16 was reliant on others to get him around. He didnt seem to get on with the other riders not even the Australians.

At 16 its a big challenge regardless of all the other circumstances. One for the long term and with his parents coming with him is hopefully more Nick Morris than Jayden O'Malley. Connor Coles has done a thoroughly decent job in the meantime.

Absolutely though ht13 could have backfired granting the 0131 a TS ride in ht14. Hopefully the weather holds up for tomorrow night, cant be doing with another rain off.

Two narrow defeats to arguably the best teams in the league isnt desperate just shows Eastbourne arent quite strong enough. It wont be that way every week.

Eastbourne are using Eddie Kennett on 10.40 when in reality he is 2 points less than that in this league. Those 2 points could have given Eastbourne a 4/4.5 point rider in the middle order and had Bowtell at reserve. The problem is that with so few fixtures this year Kennett will take most of the season for his average to adjust.

Eventful night and a tough win on the road at wee Armadale. Paid 8 for Connor Coles, think someone needs to have a word. Best wishes to TB, hopefully not out too long.

Kennett won't be on a 10 point average all season, it will gradually reduce due to being inconsistent away from home.

On an average of 2.54 he's been thrown to the wolves in the middle order and on a hiding to nothing. You can't expect an average reserve to perform as anything else regardless of what number you put on his back. He may get a shot at reserve later in the year but its going to be a hard season for him.
