Are they sure because they gave a Belle Vue v Swindon result out when they were on heat 14!

But to be fair it was said you have to give Sky 48 hours noticed to whether it was going to be postponed or not. That's not happening in this instance, maybe that's changed after the Coventry fine.

I would be Poole that advised Sky. Clubs give Sky 48 hours notice whether the meeting is likely to run or not from what we were told after the Cov V Poole fiasco.

Not unless a deal has already been done. No point bringing a new rider in just yet. We would be absolutely crazy to replace Andersen now he is at 2nd string.

So another 12 days, plenty of time.

What is the cut off date for signings?

When did Milik get injured? Kings Lynn have a decent guest for Lindgren to replace Milik. Think Bees will take at least a point.

Still time to make a change. We don't need to rush it we are in the playoffs anyway. As long as a new rider gets a couple of meeting to get dialled in before the playoffs the it'll be all good.

Yes I remember when Coventry broke the rule a few years back, I did highlight it at the time. Didn't realise it was soon changed.

Can you change a rider who is on an assessed average? I'm certain you couldn't in previous seasons, had the rule been changed? Edit: Doesn't matter apparently it has been changed.

I suppose it would make sense to leave it as late as possible if the promotion have a rider already willing to come and ride for us.

Prefer Michelsen, Buszkowski, Bjarne or even Howarth for the Bees but Summers will improve the Swindon side.

Summers is one of them riders where he can score 0030 in a meeting then 3330 in the next. Never sure what your going to get with him.

Think Belle Vue have enough to win tonight but Swindon will take a point.

Swindon make changes to try and improve, will the Bees?

That teaches me to recheck before posting!

You can't. Branford is not available for a full time role as per the greensheets.

With the rain we had last night and it continuing to rain they would have had a huge job on even if it was a dry afternoon.

Prefer to keep Hans as a 2nd string. Usually scores well at all the playoff contenders tracks (not poole) so should score heavily as a 2nd string.

Hans will be a 2nd string going into the play offs then?

Is having a guest cheaper? Not sure about that. You pay for an extra rider to turn up for a start.

I cant believe they havent gone R/R.

If it goes ahead Hans should really be getting 9+ as a 2nd string at Swindon, he scored 7 from 3 riding at number 1 earlier in the season I believe. Garrity should score well also as he has performed better at the bigger tracks this season. Think we will lose by 10 but wouldn't be surprised if we got a losing point once again.

Always seems the way then we get a scramble to fit fixtures in.

Swindon will get it on somehow whether it's tomorrow or before the cut off point.
