Sheffield may have a stronger case to replace Stefan as using guests once you get to the play-offs will be a nightmare in the Prem as you can only use a guest from a non-play-off team!! (plus Sheffield have a man on the BSPL Management Committee so 'in the best interest of Speedway'!)

Didn't stop him previously!!! But there are other options

In between spannering for Zach unless the Holders and Kurtz are in town?!

So we've used Kyle Bickley at 2 previously so for me its a no brainer to use him at 6!

The stature of the riders makes very little difference to the standard of racing. You only have to look at the last SGP!!

I think I'll have to watch the action without any sound!! As good as the NSS is I can't stand messrs Pearson and Tatum wittering on about it yet again. We still have to put up with it in the SoN!!!!

I have been told by a current promoter (no clues as to who?) that running in the Championship is about two thirds the cost of running Premiership. He did give me the actual figures but this is not the place to share!!

Yes Matt was trying to agree the deal before returning to France today , after their 'gathering' after the meeting in Broadstone.

Steve Worrall guesting for Morris on Saturday.

Cook, Nicol, Brennan, Jensen, Wells, Crang, Bailey.

and the latest GSA stats on BSPL website.

You can't use the same rider to guest on the same track within 8 days. Speaking of guests, a question being asked on facebook is how can Glasgow use Luke Crang to guest for Sedgman when he is not in a current Prem or Champ 1-7? Alternatively, how many rising stars can a club track in the same meeting?

Yes echo said Bowtell earlier. Still awaiting Glasgow guest reserve. Let's hope Craig Cook carries on his Ipswich form.

fair comment.

...someone's been reading their Speedway Star!!

Stefan actually increased his average from 4.29 to 4.51 but not enough to match Ben Cook's increase! With the track being re-laid today its good that Ben and Ben are getting some practice laps in before tomorrow.

Hopefully we'll have Ellis as per the original plan!!

Alfie Bowtell guests for Stefan Neilsen at reserve v Glasgow.

Poole's website, social media and in particular their twitter are all updated regularly so I still don't see how they weren't made aware of the changes by the morning of the meeting!!?

...or the day before!!!!

That would explain it then - although doesn't explain why Brum and Poole both had Cook still at reserve in their respective previews and it wasn't updated in the programme.

I believe you can sign a replacement for a 'season-ending' injury!! However thats not to say there is anyone suitable that is available?! I reckon guests on a meeting per meeting basis and would be surprised if its not Zach Cook v Glasgow?!

I was certainly surprised at the change in riding order last night - I assume insisted upon by the referee as it wasn't in any of the match previews nor printed in the programme!!. I was under the impression that Ben Cook completed his 4 home/4 away meetings during Poole's win at Edinburgh last Friday (The one where Havvy was Team Manager!) which would have meant a new average 7 days later (I thought that was the rule, as it was after the 23rd August cut-off for September averages?) ie for the home meeting on Friday v Glasgow not last night!? But what do i know? I wonder if Neil Watson might care to comment?

Could always replace him with Richie Hawkins!!?? He knows a good team when he sees one - and he's seen quite a few at Foxhole this season, unfortunately not Ipswich though!

Yeah 'unbeatable' around Armadale!!!! Oh hang on..............ahem King, ahem Worrell!!
