Are you talking in both the home and away meetings?

Yes could be but I doubt it. His 4th qualifying away meeting was Edinburgh on Friday, so any new 'proper' average would come into effect 7 days later, ie for Poole's home meeting with Glasgow, when Stefan Nielsen will probably drop to reserve with Danyon. The issue for Matt/Danny/Middlo will then be which Ben rides at 2 & 4, I imagine.

Surely when a club folds their riders become the 'property' of BSPL?

I guess Poole will run r/r for Basso on Wednesday as his Danish team are in their play-off semi finals. Danny, Stefan, Ben and Danyon can take the rides - better than a very limited choice of possible under 5 point guests!

New September averages mean Bomber goes at 1 for Brummies. Poole should be the same 1-7 riding order.

Having just seen the new September 1 averages, both Rory and Steve have increased theirs with (surprisingly) Danny dropping slightly! Assuming the new averages are correct (you're never 100% sure with BSPl!) then Poole should retain their same 1-7 riding order for September, which I confess surprises me slightly, unless Middlo reckons Worrall and King switch 3 & 5? BUT if it ain't broke, why change it?

Plymouth it is then!!

Good point!

Well Rosco certainly wants and hopes to run in 2022 according to this week's piece in Speedway Star, whether in a 'new' stadium or as it was in 2019!! He reckons they - the speedway club - are expecting an update from the stadium management any time soon!!

He could still guest!!

Maybe but you can't guest at home for the same club more than once in 8 days

Nick has concussion from last night so an automatic minimum riding absence for 7 days (I think)

Perhaps the fact that he is guesting for Glasgow is swaying some peoples' opinion?

I'm honestly surprised at Rory taking the booking with everything he's got going on off track!! By Monday he will have done 8 meetings in 8 days, which followed 4 meetings in 5 days the previous week. His scores have been a little 'hit & miss' to say the least.

A cracked/fractured finger would be quite sore I imagine?!

I understand after the dust problems in the first 4 heats the previous week due to not getting enough water into the track, the track guys went overboard with watering during the day on Wednesday. So much so that the riders saw how uneven and 'claggy' (technical term) the track was on their track walk. The issue was raised by both team captains particularly going into turn 1 and turn 3 and these were clearly inspected by the Referee before the meeting began and as some have said the riders asked for no watering once the meeting had started. I know the club are trying to get some 'new' shale but this is proving a challenge in the short term and with the weather forecast for Sunday being hot and sunny plus with an earlier 5pm start, I'm not sure how the track will be? Incidentally is James Shanes riding as he was given time off due to the imminent birth of his child?

Cut-off date is 26th September - whats the problem?

or maybe Glasgow?

Lawson will surely go to Glasgow to replace Cook?! More importantly who is replacing Nick Morris over the next week?

r/r for Richie as no suitable replacement for concussion victim Nick Morris!!

No Cook for Ippo - replaced by Chris Harris.

Can't see it being 'burnt down' as GI are still operating the greyhounds but someone 'prominent' should be lobbying the Swindon Advertiser to start campaigning - theres nothing the local politicians like less than negative media attention.

No.

Maybe Lee Kilby will come back to lead some fan pressure, now that he has little to do in Sussex? Can't expect Rosco to do too much at the moment as he is still laid up after his knee operation. Is Terry Russell still the owner?
