I thought Allitt was being brought in to help BC with his workload.

Lakeside usually find themselves at the top in the early weeks of the season - usually by virtue of riding more fixtures than others. Fair play to them so far, but Leicester and KL home and away are hardly true tests. They also usually run Poole close early season too so should be interesting on Wednesday (and Friday.)!

I thought all the less successful promoters are/were 'old'!!?

Kings Lynn Stars have commented on Facebook that the decision 'was taken out of their hands and they will release more information if and when they are able to'!! Maybe NKI is still in a strop after the Pairs yesterday?!

I started watching from the beginning but as soon as it became clear that the traditional Pairs scoring (4.3.2.0) wasn't being used except for the run-off and final, I became even less interested in watching the whole thing. For me Pairs racing uses a different set of riding skills due to the Pairs scoring - and this wasn't it!!

I had to stand up and switch to the footie as my piles were complaining too!! Seriously, with 3 Torun riders in the final, Vaculik was extremely unlucky not to nick the win from the Monster duo

'Top of the Table' clash!!? I'll be there. I wonder if Hammers will track Kennett in place of Lawson??

Can any Lions fans explain what it is with Ulamek and Walasek in particular? Is it mechanical (are they using their own bikes?) or is it attitude or a mixture of both plus anything else like injuries for example?! If the reserves can do it then there must be some serious reasons why the heatleaders can't?

Still, its good to know that EDRs can take the nominated heat 15 rides!!!

So maybe not Sky's decision to call it off - they merely are the first to announce they will not cover it - because its not taking place!! Maybe both teams agreed to postpone to a later date (post 1st May) so they could both strengthen up!!?

The rules state that the first set of averages would be issued on 31st March and applicable for Monday 4th April. They would be updated every 2 weeks thereafter. However for an EDR to be considered for a 1-5 place their MA must be based on 4 meetings (Rule 16.2.7.1. 2x home and 2x away) and would come into effect 7 days after the 4th qualifying meeting.

Sshh you can't criticise the KL track!! Buster's an expert don't you know?!

Woryna's been fairly decent at home surely?!

If the rulebook and initial statements are open to interpretation then I really don't mind if either or both reserves can get into the 1-5 if their scores/averages allow.!! But that's not what the riders or the clubs currently understand.

Exactly as I said in post #73. Although quite why the word 'blame' is used I don't know?! Many are up in arms that tonight's Robins v Bees fixture is going ahead with 3 guests rather than Coventry being 'blamed' for calling it off?! Maybe there's a difference in relationships between the respective promotions?!

Maybe check out this week's Speedway Star interview instead then!!!

I'm against full-meeting streaming, whichever platform is used, BUT if the BSPA are so protective of their contract with SKY/GSI then SKY/GSI should be responsible for producing some sort of 'whizz-bang' promotional highlights video for every club to be able to personalise to their own club websites, local events/venues and social media options (those that utilise them?!) # I wonder at the recent BSPA fans forum, how many fans raised this topic as one of the major issues facing the sport from a fans' perspective?!

You be careful quoting the Echo, C4G - some don't like it up ,em!!! :-)

Accurate though - on this occasion!! That's why I posted the link - so you could still get the facts!!

Have I missed the BSI announcement that they are withdrawing their invitation to the British Final winner to be the wildcard at Cardiff yet?? again?!! ;-) Or are we still waiting...........................................................................

So the British Final moves away from Wolves ---- and Woffy decides he doesn't want to compete!! Surprise surprise.

Maybe read the article from today's Bournemouth Echo?! www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/speedway

Swindon management not to blame for this. The international list received by clubs a day or so before Poole agreed to the rearranged fixture, was incomplete and did not include the Polish Golden Helmet fixture involving Buczkowski. Poole were prepared to go ahead without Ellis but not with 2 riders missing.

Well Adam Ellis is under no illusions about his position this season. Why not ask him yourself when he guests for the Lions at Lakeside on Friday!? Alternatively you can always check with Paul Starke.

I wonder what sort of reception (and how many points) Hans will get when guesting for KK at Blunsdon on Thursday?!!
