I think your looking at longer then 2 gp's. Tai is a winner and he wont wanna miss 2 gp's and come back half fit. Think once he misses Prague his title shot is over, so I imagine he will try to get 100 percent fit before coming back, rather then the 75-80 percent riders normally come back at. Although i dare say the paymasters in Poland will exert a degree of pressure to return as soon as humanly possibly.

Same with the change to 2.0 riders, meant the Couzins, O Keefes etc left out in the cold.

I asked the league co coordinator about this, and a rule change in the winter meant that any unattatched rider gained an average after any 4 competitive fixtures, to prevent riders spending a season riding as an unattatched rider for every club ala spooner 2017.

Yeah I ve always liked attendance figures.

There was an awful lot of sponsors guests on Monday, 50 from one company. There was more people in the stadium then at Wimbledon fixture, but there were only a handful of guests at that one. So yes until we have official attendances it is very much educated guesswork.

The last who visited really enjoyed it, and has inferred she will return. Albeit she did not say whether that would be in professional or personal capacity. Had a bit of coverage on BBC radio 2 today too, although I was asleep so didnt hear it.

Think last season the average gate was over 800, ironically Monday was our lowest gate this season but still in the region of 800 there.

If Luke Priest and Shelby Rutherford hit a bit of form, and Rowe Coles and Lawlor have thier gating gloves on it could keep it interesting. Think it will be a mauling in the reserve department though.

So effectively a one off shoot out on Monday evening with either side winning the crown. Ironically last time IOW won a trophy Chris Hunt and Kevin Sheppard were joint managers but this time they will be involved for opposite sides. The warriors actually need to win by 7 points or more which makes thier task that bit tougher. With Morley and Wood both Central park experts at the spearhead they could both go unbeaten. Dsnno Verge has come on massively over the winter and is a true heat leader now. Lots will depend on how Ryan Terry daily and Chris widman go, both have had excellent races and both had nightmares. Connor King secured his first ever national league race win for IOW at central park last season but if memory serves also had at least spectacular off afterward, and young Chad seems to score well at most tracks especially if he gates. Kent continue to operate RR for injury victim Alex Spooner and with Jordan Jenkins on exam duty Richard Andrews comes in as a most popular guest, and his 5 rides (inc rr ride) will be most critical to the Kings fortunes. Drew Kemp is a out and out no1 and you can tell every dropped point really annoys him, not always out of the gate first and with the track being slick in recent weeks that has made passing that bit harder. Andrews as mentioned is a popular guest and his swashbuckling style especially around central park meant he was on many fans winter wish lists. As long as he and skipper Rob Ledwith stay upright the Kent engine room should be enough to see the kings home. Rob by his own admission started the season on gas mark 9 and spent a fair bit of time picking himself out the fence, especially at Plymouth. But he has now wound that in to gas mark 7 and is now with the rr ride consistently getting paid double figures and his influence will be key. Rocket Rowe is making Kent a bit of fortress whilst slipping somewhat under the radar. He has added outside passing, and more first bend aggression to his arsenal. And is consistently posting ever faster race times. Jacob Clouting has stepped in the last few weeks and has really delivered the goods, had a confidence boosting heat 2 win last week and looks to have a decent future in the sport, with a very attractive style.And nitro Natham Ablitt has bitten the dust so many times this year but jumps up and scores points in the ReRun each time, a young man with a massive future. Action gets underway with parade at 6.15pm and tapes up 6.30pm. What ever the result the trophy will be presented Monday night, so hopefully a bumper crowd will be in attendance. For what it is worth i predict a topsy turvy evening with Kent winning on the night by a narrow margin.

That's hurt my wallet....

3 out 5 bang on, and correct nationality on the 4th. I ll take that lol

Hello mate sorry thought I had messaged you, it's a bit too far away from my partner, which in itself is a not a problem other then toilet breaks for my daughter.

Novratil whilst not world class, he still impressed me at the SON as I expected a complete wobbler. Niedzwiedz has a bright future and could be a spoiler this year but probably wont be in the reckoning overal

Leicestershire shale has been unavailable for over 2 years now according to the quarry company. (Braydon aggregates or similar it was called). There was a supplier down Gloucester way last season but I think it was from there the shale came, that got panned at multiple tracks last season for being substandard. To my knowledge the only place to buy bulk of shale is in Scotland and whilst the price is half the price of a tonne of top soil, as has been stated it's the delivery costs that are the killer.

Cook hopefully has good chance in Glasgow even against such a strong field. Dont know his record but doesn't strike as a Lambert type track. Harris must consider himself to have a good chance in France, The other lads have lines ups on British tracks you would fancy thier chances of at least being in the mix, but overseas may find this a level to high atm.

Considering the track conditions are traditionally slick on bank holidays and today was no different. Watching Danny Ayres today was a joy to behold, when he missed the gate being the highlights of the day. So 3 points for Kent means one hand is on the National Trophy, with the Wighlink Warriors needing to win both the home and away matches against Kent this upcoming week to prise the title down to the south coast island. And I suppose most importantly for gloom mongerers all heat 15 heats were completed with a break between 14 and 15 to allow all the juniors have another ride.

Zagar 50 quid more please NKI 50 quid more please Many thanks

If you have Facebook, search Rob Dyer and message him. If anyone will have the times it will be him. He may well have a profile on here as well tbh.

Did to Berlin via Brussels and Cologne day one. 9 hours with connection times.then Berlin warsaw supposed to be 6hr.45mins but was 6 hours. And once off the Eurostar all the trains had cooked meals available, and draught beer.

I d say Bekker has a good shot just because of the flag tbh, got to vibe good for marketing to have a competitive yank in there. Likewise if Bewley bangs a few maxes before wildcard are chosen then I think he would be a popular pick.

For someone like me that dont fly, it actually costs very similar to get to Cardiiff on the train as it does to Warsaw...

It's hard to make a case for any other brits, maybe Harris just on the back of his name. I think given a shot Bewley or S Worrall could do a job, but niether have enough club form let alone international level form to spark much enthusiasm for either outside of the UK.

Potential wild cards looking at previous one sport events. Pedersen Smektala A Pawlicki bro. Huckenbeck or smolinski Lebidevs

Yes top 4, so one big gun to fall in Czech republic. I hope the British lads do themselves justice. With the lack of experience on the European tracks you kinda just hoping the British lads stumble onto a setup in heat 1...

My usual seats on turn 3 middle tier are normally between 77-90 (depending when you buy). Last year cost me 162 quid plus booking fee for me and an 8 year old daughter. They do have family areas but they aren't in great spots, and are a ballache best impossible at worst to book seats in, in a group of 7 adults and 1 kid. So next year if I can only afford 1 gp it will be Warsaw that I go too. Train to Warsaw via overnight stays in Berlin each way, plus 5 nights hotels and GP tickets cost less then 340 quid, and I spent the entire trip, what I spend in one day in Cardiff.
