Strengthen? Scunny are second top of the league this morning. Why strengthen?

Last night's meeting at Northampton started at exactly 7.30. The show began with a parade of competing riders, introductions and the like. This over, racing commenced with the first heat going to the tapes at 7.45. Northampton is currently the best-attended speedway in Britain, so why shouldn't they show off their wares with a parade, etc? They advertise starting at 7.30, that's what they did .......

He wasn't a guest last Friday

Luke K will be r/r. I believe Berwick's Sam Hagon will be at reserve

Fraser Bowes has posted that he hopes to be back on Wednesday.

While disappointing that Dan Thompson and Tom Brennan aren't in the draw proper, it is absolutely correct that the British Final finishing order is used for GB nominations.

Making a rearranged meeting on that night a no-go. The previous week (next Saturday) was offered to both Scunthorpe and Redcar -- both declined. Week after is Belle Vue GP. Roll on June 13th!

Indeed. Sorry, my bad.

Wait and see

Sorry, Rowe is above Russ in averages, so he is the "one above". Sam can't be a tac sub in that team.

Simon will be a Bear at Berwick tomorrow

Jody is listed by the Bears as riding on both Friday at home and Saturday (at Berwick)

Not sure on that. Drew's final CMA for Bandits in 2025 was 8.08 This year at Leicester he is currently on 4.72 (converts to 7.08 for CL) As PK is currently on 7.86 (which converts to 8.25 for home meeting guests) I'm thinking Drew has to be at his '25 average. That's why he can't be Berwick's guest at Scunny on Friday (Edinburgh's gain!) but can guest for Bandits on Saturday. I think. Alternative scenarios welcomed!

Fair question, but a rider can guest in any league if (a) he's in a 1-7 in any of our three leagues, and (b) his average is lower than the rider he's covering for

Good to have Drew Kemp back this week as guest for PK. Once a Bandit, always a Bandit! Except Charlie Gjedde, of course.

We play golf by the "Adolf & Eva" rules. Only two shots in the bunker.

You probably loved Derwent Park. Which WAS the worst place in speedway

Horrible left turn.

That'll be the final.....

Bandits need to win big, to ensure bonus point next week. Aggregate wins will be required to qualify for playoffs this year

Indeed. Mind you, he has to survive Armadale on Friday first.

Well, the changes have been made. What they are I do not know -- but Workington have announced Simon Lambert as a guest on Saturday, clearly meaning he isn't going to be at Berwick.........

Their dad's were good friends too

Dayle Wood is ruled out by 8-day rule, l'd think......
