No Josh, you don't have to keep telling us. We all get that you think you're one of the best around the NSS, the trouble is that no one agrees with you. Least of all, the Belle Vue regular fans who have already replied. Do we have to keep telling you that your deluded opinion is wrong?

This bit doesn't make sense really. Yes Ayres "crashed to the track". But "ran out of space" doesn't make sense. If Ayres had "ran out of space" that means he'd have collided with the fence. The fact that he didn't collide with the fence, and instead "crashed to the track" says that it was something or someone else that sent him crashing to the floor. The referee had a shocker by all accounts.

If the riders arrive in dry weather at a place that has been dry for 36 hours plus, why would they be racing in a swamp? If a track can't be prepared with 36 hours of dry weather, the SCB need to be looking at the competence of the track curator. Or are we now to call off any meeting at any track where it has rained within the last two days or so? Why is Stoke always the club struggling to complete their fixtures because of an extraordinary number of dodgy call-offs? Amazing they can find enough gullible riders to make a team, when it's always the same story.

Met office forecast has Stoke dry all this afternoon and evening and then dry all day Saturday. How can it be off 36 hours in advance? Joke Potters.

Cook, Starke, Lawson, Tungate, Fricke, Etheridge, Bewley

Danny Ayres is guesting for Clegg

They won't switch the reserves. Makes sense to leave Bewley where he is at No.7 to cover heat 8.

If we take the number of times a team's riders have been chosen, and use this as a form guide, the league table should finish as:- 35 Birmingham 33 Mildenhall 30 Belle Vue 26 Eastbourne 14 Kent 10 Coventry 6 Plymouth 2 Buxton 2 Isle of Wight 2 Stoke

Thought I'd do a bit of analysis on which riders are being picked most often. Not surprisingly, the highly rated 3.00 riders are most popular and fill 3 of the top 4 places. (Kyle Bickley being the only non-3.00 rider in the top 4 picks). Adam Roynon is the highest averaged rider to be picked. chosen by 2 people on 9.67. (Max Clegg, Luke Bowen and Ben Morley are other 9+ riders to be picked twice). 23 teams entered means 161 places available (160, as one person picked a rider who isn't in a NL team). But out of those 160 place, only 32 riders have been chosen. They are (with number of times chosen) :- 21 Drew Kemp 18 Jason Edwards 17 Kyle Bickley 17 Leon Flint 10 Jack Smith 9 Danyon Hume 8 Mitchell Davey 7 Jack Thomas 6 Danny Phillips 6 Jordan Jenkins 4 Jamie Halder 3 Tom Brennan 3 Georgie Wood 3 Henry Atkins 3 Danny Ayres 3 Taylor Hampshire 2 Ben Morley 2 Matt Marson 2 Max Clegg 2 Charlie Brooks 2 Luke Bowen 2 Adam Roynon 1 Josh Bailey 1 Alex Spooner 1 Layne Cupitt 1 Tom Perry 1 Richard Andrews 1 Connor Coles 1 David Wallinger 1 Anders Rowe 1 Joe Lawlor 1 Ben Woodhull

Can see a big home win here. Coventry look solid. Clegg should score big for Stoke, but can't see much support for him.

He's a Poole fan. Rules don't count.

Patrick Hougaard got to be the best choice.

It's not provisional on the date. It's provisional on the outcome of the semi-finals.

None of them came through a year in the MDL as you said everyone should. Bewley only sat on a speedway bike for the first time about 5 months before making his NL debut.

So SteveBrum predicts it will be off. He then returns to boast that he was right. But you say he wasn't right. So you must think it's still on? You really don't help yourself in the silly stakes.

So you think tonight's match is still on? p.s. it's "you're"

Tell that to Dan Bewley, Tom Brennan, Jordan Jenkins, Kyle Bickley, Henry Atkins, Drew Kemp, Leon Flint etc etc

It's just below the regulation that says Woryna and Szczepaniak can come back on ancient historic averages, whilst others can't. Give us a shout when you've located those regulations.

M Davey 8.61 D Ayres 8.38 K Bickley 6.67 D Phillips 6.25 L Flint 3.00 D Kemp 3.00 J Edwards 3.00 =38.91

If you check a calendar, you'll find that 26 March WAS "Monday just gone", as Stevebrum said. You're the one who is wrong. You seem to be a week behind.

No. The governing body don't decide. If there's a tie, and they have a previous average, then the one with the highest average in the previous month takes priority. But in this case where they've all always been 3.00, then it's up to the club to nominate which one goes in the top 5. I just think from a common-sense point of view, it wouldn't be wise to put a 15-year-old into the main body for his league debut.

The NDL is about developing youngsters and Buxton are sticking to that ideal with young Corban. It does leave Buxton with 3 weak reserves though. Surely Whitmore will have to move up and leave the 2 rookiesat reserve. You can't go putting a 15--year-old out in heat 1 for his league debut.

Go back a page. He's already turned Buxton down.

Neil wouldn't dare admit to being invited, and certainly couldn't admit wanting to go even if he did want to go..... Big brother is watching!
