I thought heat 15 didn't count towards averages? Are you accusing Poole of bending the rules

I'm surprised Newman still hasn't made the jump in to the main team. Good for Ellis to stay in the main body for a while. New updated averages still have Bjarne at reserve from 22nd Aug?

With only a handful of meetings now left, the question is who will finish top and who will take the 4 place off places. Unfortunately this year my own team Coventry are not in it, however there are 5 teams still battling it out. Below are their remaining fixtures, plus points available (will be updated after meetings) Updated 29th Aug 1. BELLE VUE 58 HOME: Swindon, Poole Points available: 6 2.WOLVERHAMPON. 55 HOME: Coventry Points available: 3 3. POOLE 54 AWAY: King's Lynn, Belle Vue Points available: 8 4. SWINDON 47 AWAY: Lakeside, Belle Vue Points available: 8 5. LAKESIDE 44 HOME: Swindon Points available 3 I can actually see Wolves winning all of their remaining meetings and the race for 4th being down to Swindon & Lakeside.

Could have been worse tonight for a heavily depleted Bees. Shame Sarjeant was excluded when we were on 8-1. Lakeside updates said it was s shocking decision. Good night for Garrity to score 11 & Sarjeant looking better. Poor from Harris. Strange to see Branford in heat 15 but as we had already lost I guess maybe it was a thanks for guesting. A good 3pts for Lakeside which takes them up to 4th and pushes Wolves out of the play off positions

@officialcovbees are also doing updates on Twitter

💤💤💤💤 Harris also had bike problems in the last heat. Can't believe you are still full of sour grapes.

Can you name those other teams that have gone to Lakeside with a NL rider at no 1 please?

I witnessed them when they lost twice away to us and we aren't the strongest. Would you disagree then and say your away form has been really good?

This could really go either way. Swindon have been inconsistent at home and lost a few, but Poole haven't been great away this season. Would expect this to be close. More pressure on Swindon

The roller at the start helped Hans. Not a great meeting so far. Not much passing and very gate and go

Now no Josh Bates tonight for Coventry due to illness so team is 1. Robert Branford (for KK) 2. Jason Garrity 3. Danny King 4. RR (for Woryna) 5. Chris Harris 6. Ellis Perks (for Bates) 7. James Sarjeant So with exception of Harris, it's a team of 3 PL riders and 2 NL riders. Lakeside should be hitting close to 60 in this and a good 3 points to move them back in to the play off places and Wolves in to 5th

Good point 👍🏻

So looking at Arnieg findings, there are actually more now than the last few years as there was meant to be 7 fixtures today. out of those 7 listed fixtures, 2 have been rained off so not really height of summer. Makes this thread very pointless unless you change the title.

I appreciate the earlier call off by management. Saves fans from travelling esp from lakeside. Look at the mess Belle Vue found themselves in last night

Lakeside V Coventry is still on tonight. There are actually another 6 fixtures on tonight you could go to, even with Leicester rained off so I'm not really sure what your point is? http://www.speedwaygb.co/homepage As it goes, with the weather being poor this weekend, it's a good think there aren't too many fixtures in place.

We had heavy rain from earlier than the forecast 8am so the amount of rain might have been a factor

lol I thought the same. Typical that it's been dry and sunny in Coventry from early evening and grounds now dry. Imagine the track would still be very wet

Going to be hard with our top 2 in Harris & Kaspazak missing. Then there could be no AJ either and no Lawson for Lakeside Surprised they did it for then and not the bank holiday Monday

He's recovering from a crash in Poland last weekend apparently

Robert Branford guests tomorrow night at no 1 in place of Kaspazak 😖 Woryna is ruled out through injury so RR instead

Harris hasn't had any clashes this year as the Friday before each GP meeting have been storm meetings instead

Bank holiday Monday would be a good date to rearrange it with neither team having a fixture then and the kids still off school

Why?

Poole's visit to Leicester tomorrow (Saturday) has been postponed. Restaging on Monday 29th August with Poole "dropping in" after BV trip

Watson seems more confident than us lol. As for Fricke, It's great isn't it seeing him in the pits with the boys each meeting. Not very often you see a rider with a rival team every meeting, cheering them on and celebrating their wins like his own team. He definitely has a strong relationship with Coventry 😉
