I am waiting for the final official BSPL averages to be confirmed.

Any Mildenhall team news?

I am nearly referring to the NL only. He was effectively stopped from rising by getting an average after 4 meetings.

I respect that decision. But this is where the rules allow lunacy when he’s effectively been stopped from riding over the late summer but can then come in to win someone a league or cup title!

It’s a bit of a joke if the play-offs are decided by who can book the best 3.00 unattached reserve and then hope they honour the booking!

Is it really to their credit, when it short changed the paying fans (in person and online) from seeing a more competitive version of the Colts?

They knew about work before yesterday afternoon and didn’t do anything about it though! Pretty shocking for that talented Belle Vue team to fail to make the play-offs!

It’s not Belle Vue’s fault though that Armadale find it harder than some to fit their home meetings in because Edinburgh have been successful this season.

Belle Vue should get a point at Armadale. If I was a Colts fan, I’d be more concerned about the weather!

No surprise though!

Criminal to not use Roynon in heat 14! He even arguably should’ve been out in heat 15! Strange to give him the harder heat 13 though when Rowe rode in heats 10 & 14.

Good win tonight for Mildenhall who fully took advantage of Oxford missing their top 2, which should salvage a PO place after their 2 home losses! Booking Clegg worked out well. They just need to sort the Muff problem now.

Quite a few riders are missing in this! Again! I was considering going but such a disjointed line-up doesn’t make it look like the best of meetings. So it’s the Thompson twins’ to lose.

Hasn’t the meeting officially started at this point, with the practice being yesterday? So the reserves will take Ellis’ rides. It’s a shame either way with such a fuss being made about who should be the WC and thenEllis gets his opportunity only to get hurt. If he rides, he was bound to struggle anyway and yesterday’s fall will only put him even more off the pace.

So everything is at City Hall Lawn from 10am?

Absolutely this. You could easily argue that if a wedding takes precedence then whether the NL claims to be professional or not, there’s no justification to charge fans to attend! But regardless, Plymouth could have arranged a 3.00 rider so at least there were 4 riders races at a bare minimum.

‘Pre-arranged family gathering’ even though both fixtures have been in the fixture list all season.

Kent are entitled to build whatever team they want upto the points limit! The problem is, that you were oblivious to when making slandering comments against the club, was that you are only allowed 2 guests and must use unattached riders thereafter. Dan Thompson & Blair are about as good a top 2 as you could find because remember this is real life and not every single rider that ‘on paper’ looks better will want to or would be able to ride. Then they had to pick 2 unattached 3.00 riders and tbf none are going to score many points, if any points at all. So what difference did it make whether they picked Shimelt, Douglas or someone else? The best you would’ve hoped for is only 1 or 2 points anyway!

Kent need a win if they want to make the play-offs, so it’s unfortunate that they’ve ended up with new injuries when they finally found an adequate replacement for Alcock!

I’m glad for him as otherwise he’d have been straddled with an average nobody would want him on.

On a 6.82 average he might be worth a gamble for someone.

A shame about Rothery. He seemed decent.

Rob better water it regularly during the meeting too!

Is Aarnio back?

They already aren’t allowed guests or R/R! Their facility has ran out and have to use unattached 3.00 men.
