Birmingham might not be 6 points down though.

Very true an 8.01 rider could end up being picked by the weakest club for the lowest wages, as it's them or no team. Then a 7.99 rider can ask for a kings ransom as he's so valuable to any team!

Why look for a replacement? Same situation as Plymouth, team will be far stronger using guests for as long as possible!

Unless all Championship teams build to Newcastle strength & have a clear gap between Prem & Champ! Also make it easier for NDL riders to step up!

Very funny, made me laugh!

I don't think it's convenient at all, as it's a challenge match I'm sure Newcastle would rather BWD was able to get race fit ahead of the league campaign. If it was a league match I'd agree with you, very convenient!

Newcastle 44 - 46 Redcar

Looked what happened to Jason Edwards, he was given the easier number 7 spot & scored more points than his first meeting. Also didn't hinder Jordan Jenkins racing in the tougher number 6 spot!

I think Berwick will score more than they did at Armadale

For a lot of clubs just reaching the play-offs is considered a successful season!

Nope, I just rate Plymouth as a good team!

Red 45 - 45 Ply

Don't agree with the comment that Plymouth have a strong top 3, they clearly have a strong top 4! Although not against Poole!

Now you're just being silly!

I'll go for: Poole 53-37 Plymouth I'll change it to 51-39 now Plymouth have Harris!

When I was thinking of the Plymouth v Poole match, I realised I had already predicted Ple somehow!

I'll go for Birmingham 48-42 Leicester

Well as cup matches don't count for averages, Gilkes could still be at reserve for May!

Totally agree, a paid win is just as good as a heat win, or better still, as it means you've gained a 5-1!

Not sure why I keep reading about Newcastle facing a "strong" Stoke side? Steve Worrall (9.05) James Sarjeant (4.08) Ricky Wells (6.59) Leon Flint (5.89) Ben Barker (6.87) Connor Coles (2.00) Joe Alcock (2.00) Total: 36.48 That team average is well below the Championship 42.00 limit. Does makes sense for Newcastle to start off against a "weak" side to gain confidence ahead of official matches, but they'll certainly find it tougher from now on!

I'll go for: Plymouth 45 - 45 Poole

I think Lynn are stronger than Ipswich & don't expect anything other than a 3-0 win!

After the loss against Sheffield, I feel my point is correct lol!

After seeing Basso score paid 14 for Peterborough, Glasgow must be delighted with their new signing!

2022 Rolling Averages are calculated including 2019, 2021 and 2022 results to a maximum number of 20 matches (from Speedway GB website) BWD last rode in the Champ in 2018, won't doesn't have any previous matches to add for a rolling ave.
