Yeah rather unfortunate, just about to set off though! All about the bonus point now, think we will still come away with the point. Laylen Richardson moves to No.4 and Mason Watson guests at No.6 Cookie and Batchelor probably on for 6 rides each

Why? R/R is probably the best option, 6 of the 9 clubs already riding on Friday. Not much choice between Berwick, Oxford and Plymouth riders

R/R for Tate at Edinburgh on Friday. Batch, Antti, Claus plus 1 reserve can all take an extra ride.

Handy for team building purposes in 2025

It is a re-arranged fixture, was originally down as Round 7 on 1st June. Was then cancelled on 22nd June and this is the 3rd restaging. The reason why is probably because it's still a Poland re-staging priority day

Current cma. 7.36 for away matches, 7.73 at home.

Assuming there's no rain offs, after the Poole home meeting on 27th July 75% of fixtures will be complete so there can be no team changes. Assuming this means we don't have to replace Tate as the 28 day facility will run out and an extension can be applied for which you would think would be granted, who knows with the BSPL! Having a guest every meeting makes us stronger than actually signing someone IMO, currently the likes of Howarth, Danny King and Sedgman can all guest at No.2 at Home

Also a great week for Antti, great performance during the week at the SON, on the podium today and was told at the track today he’s signed for Belle Vue to replace Tate.

4.00 average I believe. Would certainly be better than that figure.

Rode the NSS well during the week, good signing for BV

Back injury I was told, has had trouble with it before

I'm abit surprised with the call off, given it's probably good drying weather. However still not getting a good summer up here and had very heavy flash flooding where I am yesterday. When there's about 10 other dates on a Sat/Sun this can be re-arranged to and the alcohol addicted folk wanting to go out and watch the footy it's not a surprise.

Meeting is off again

Just seen some of those comments and they are laughable but typical of the Facebook crowd. I.e the type of people who’ve never heard of Tate or even Workington. Connor Mountain is a run of the mill 5 point Championship rider at 26 years old and they’ve just signed an 18 year old who’s already achieved a higher average than Connor ever has, who cares about nationality. Top level professional sport should be cut throat and I applaud the BV promotion for the change.

It was a disappointing meeting last night, and casual fans attending last night probably thought it was a joke that it was 1st vs 2nd in the league with our performance. Cookie proved that he is a master of throttle control, had the bike working perfectly on bends 3/4 but none of our other riders could adapt. Nothing lost though, the bonus point was never going to be achievable. Oxford are a very strong team at home. As for changes at reserve, it’s a must now. Sam’s confidence must be shot, he’s not even banging in scores in a weak NDL to keep something going. Last night Sam rode like it was his first time on a bike, that might sound harsh with difficult track conditions, but this is professional speedway now not NDL. Can’t believe I’m saying this but there’s a better 2 point rider working in the Comets pits! From what I saw of him guesting at Redcar he’s slowly improving and could fill a gap until the end of the season. I don’t think signing Jody Scott is realistic, but would like to be proved wrong. Probably not a lot of options for a 4 point reserve, but still think Celina has something to give especially at home

What a terrible spectacle this is. Guessing the heat is causing the track problems

Poor lad, was looking forward to watching him ride

Roynon injured? How did that happen! He is riding according to the Comets meeting preview sent out tonight

Was meant to be Scunthorpe at Home but was changed months ago and brought forward a week to the 22nd June instead.

Lambert at Number 1?, that's hardly inspiring to get people through the gate. He was rather poor when Scunny visited

Sounds promising for him there's no lasting damage re the scans then. 2 of those wouldn't fit, only up to 7.20 is available for a guest. Although I guess Sedgman might be there as Plymouth's No 1 (or 5) I'd go for Connor Bailey again, this time he'd be riding at No.2

It’s a brave move by Dickson judging by some of those hilarious comments on the Leicester FB page. I’m sure he knows best, and if Cookie continues his electric gating it will be a massive upgrade at reserve on a rider like Kemp, both home and away on the mainly slick tracks in the Premiership.

Kelvin gives me Alan Partridge vibes, pure car crash commentary with him being on his own tonight.

Ace Pijper is in for Celina as she is unwell 3 of last years Comets in the side today

Oxford Lineup 1. Sam Masters – 9.05 2. R/R for Henry Atkins – 4.28 3. Cameron Heeps – 4.77 4. Jordan Jenkins – 5.89 5. Scott Nicholls – 8.54 6. Ashton Boughen – 3.38 7. Luke Killeen – 4.17 8. Jody Scott R/R for Atkins must make them stronger surely as Atkins has been averaging a grand total of 0.62.
