But why would you go when your team is NOT there?

So its not the top 8 teams from July Green sheets (top 4 or 5) not that we going to find out.

Witches point tonight was down to the ref in the end after putting the red lights on as soon as Gino fell on bend 1 in 14. Was getting to his feet and other 3 were still going down back straight. However he had earlier excluded Gino for a 2nd unsatisfactory start. Both were identical incidents. 3 riders into bend 1 at same time means rider on outside falling. Hawkins given mom, oh for a reserve of his scoring ability. Don't know what's up with Ellis and Heeps but both more than struggling. Unfair riding. Took Worrall line away bends 3/4. Worrall did well to stay on. Tony Steele. Didn't think tapes were being held imo

Sad day for Birmingham fans and hope this isn't taken the wrong way but am I right in thinking that Coventry, Wolves, Cradley and Scunthorpe are all giving season ticket holders free entry? So any fan with a Birmingham ticket can now get 4 meetings for the price of 1?

Well he appeared in Rybnik today and had 2 rides. Excluded in 1st ,last in 2nd.

Looks a good crowd so far

Think there are a lot of villages missing idiots today!

Park and ride they say. Well I've parked but no buses. Edit after 40 min wait I've seen a bus!

Seen Lanham stuck and Tungate was stuck near Heathrow earlier, must be an Ipswich thing!

Stayed at Premier inn last time i went there. Nice place and food great at Table Table next door.

Spitting with rain in town centre but looks like the worst of the rain should miss Foxhall...... [famous last words]

Still no change in the weather, looks like it r/r for Newman and Taylor Poole for Jensen.

Ah that makes more sense. Plus I think he has a mandatory fall at Foxhall which will not be good for him!

Witches site says Newman definitely out through injury but he's riding tonight at Poole......

Team total is 40.78 so 33.38 minus Worrall, leaves 9.12 Yes it would be stupid to lose him next year on a low ave.

Here ya go Baldyman latest set of averages, 1st figure is starting ave, 2nd is July green sheet Richie Worrall 8.42 7.40 Morten Risager 6.90 7.08 Rohan Tungate 7.05 6.55 Gino Manzares 5.00 5.61 Ritchie Hawkins 3.96 4.88 Cameron Heeps 6.74 4.78 Adam Ellis 4.14 4.48 Worrall is the lowest number 1 in the PL by 0.01 from Wolbert (Glasgow)

Just looked and tickets were £30 a ticket! nice little earner for someone!

Great attendence, maybe British promoters could take note?

Italian's through due to them using their joker. What a joke!

No Blackbird tonight

Can Ipswich and Rye House have a combined Essex/Suffolk side? Glasgow and Edinburgh as Scotland?!

Isn't this the day after the World Cup Final?

Well if its top 5 aves count- Newcastle 37.67 (inc Danny King 11.18) so would be 30.82 Somerset 36.49 Workington 36.15 Edinburgh 35.57 Peterborough 35.01 Sheffield 34.87 (inc Ty Proctor 9.22) or 29.46 Redcar 34.16 Plymouth 33.16 Berwick 33.09 Scunthorpe 32.91 Ipswich 31.52 Rye House 31.39 Glasgow 31.03 Or if top 4: Newcastle 33.34 (inc D King 11.18) or 26.49 Workington 31.18 Sheffield 31.12 (inc T Proctor 9.22) or 25.91 Edinburgh 30.26 Somerset 30.1 Peterborough 29.46 Redcar 28.58 Plymouth 28.04 Berwick 27.59 Scunthorpe 26.93 Ipswich 26.64 Rye House 26.13 Glasgow 25.81 So either way the top 8 are the same, just depends on if Sheffield qualify or are Berwick in. Like Bezza has said, with neither of Peterborough's neighbours in, then the crowd will certainly be effected. Edited Sheffield and Newcastle changes Plus Plymouth would have "qualified" with Katajisto in team, Redcar now have Mark Lemon in too.

Looking at fixtures on BSPA website there are 2 more meetings Adam Ellis will miss: 4/7 Ipswich @ Plymouth Lakeside (h) 7/8 Ipswich v Rye House Lakeside @ Swindon

Think we can all see Adam is currently finding it tough and as Bruv says is easily capable of scoring 6. Can only see Chris Louis changing the side if a rider was to fall in his lap though. Last year Makinen was released because it was the right thing for the rider and team. With Adam (or any other rider) it would be the same thing, but the possibility of missing more meetings must also be a consideration? Will also be annoying for Adam himself as no doubt loses income from it! It's also catch 22 when a rider struggles as like last night they end up with only 3 rides! Think Adam is only being spoken about as it's a nl rider that replaces him when missing. Does anyone know how many more meetings he will miss?
