Is it the Alex Spooner for Rob Ledwith change that we're waiting for someone to blab? Or is that common knowledge?

To be fair, you've also misspelt Nigel Hinchliffe's name.

What exactly is the Wolverhampton mascot these days? "Rory the Roadkill"?

I wouldn't write Ipswich off here. Though the BV fans would want to see Crump, Cook is a better rider and strengthens them. Similarly Heeps is nothing special around the NSS, but Summers has had his moments and offers more potentially. Allen and the reserves taking RR will way outscore any odd point Stewart would have picked up. King and Allen both like the NSS, and Rowe and Kemp are very good around there and capable of big scores.

No, it was Harris' spare tyre. Would explain the difficulty zipping up his kevlars.

Belle Vue 5 points Peterborough 2. Two meetings in one day seemed to be too much for Dad's Army. Still I reckon they'd have taken 2 points if offered this morning.

I'm afraid you're talking nonsense here. Kirky Lane referred to a glut of young riders being ready to come in. And obviously due to the points limit they have come in. But the new riders are coming in at 3.00 so therefore in the main come in as reserves. You're trying to misrepresent it by listing existing riders who are second strings, and pretending they've been brought in because of the lower limit. Which they haven't. they were already there. The 35.00 limit was clearly made to bring new 3.00 riders. That's what it's done. And the likes of Rothery, Watson, Freeman, Smith, McGurk, McGurk, and Trigger have done very well so far. And others who haven't ridden yet also have plenty of promise.

Problem is that most of the Peterborough top 5 crossed their finishing line about 10 years ago.

Because none of the riders you listed are the young inexperienced glut of 3.00 reserve riders that "Kirky Lane" referred to? MacDonald is a second-string for Berwick. Their 3.00 reserves are Douglas (21) and Watson (20) Couzins is a late change for second-string Bursill (3.13) not a 3.00 reserve. Kent's young 3.00 reserves are Mulford (17) and Warren (21) Dugard is a second-string and not a 3.00 rider. Newcastle's 3.00 newcomer reserves are Freeman (16) and Smith (16) Laurence is just a stand in until Eastbourne's other reserve reaches his 15th birthday. Other reserve Ablitt is 17. Bowen is a second-string and not a reserve. Belle Vue's reserves are McGurk (17) and McGurk(15)

How far away do you think Poland is if you're expecting the 01.30 flight to take 12 hours to reach England?

In horse racing, if a horse suddenly and mysteriously starts performing below its known ability, don't they have a big investigation into whether something fraudulent is going on for some sinister purpose? Don't know what made me think of that...... .....Anyway, anyone know how many Troy Batchelor scored tonight?

What do you want? Camouflage racesuits so we can't see them?

I can imagine an early call-off for this one. Will Sheffield really want to ride their opening home fixture without their star man?

You mean just as Leicester "haven't"? Leicester haven't followed the rules and plugged the gap. They've cheated and are illegally using the R/R facility. The NDL should put someone in place to police the rules and guard against such cheating. They could call him "NDL co-ordinator" or something like that.

So you're saying that if any other club has a rider unavailable at any time this season, and want to play by the rules, then the league will come to a grinding halt because there are no unattached riders available?

Pathetic decision to allow Leicester to flout the rules. We're supposed to be limiting the replacement facilities to give newcomers a chance, yet before a wheel is turned it has all gone out of the window. If they'd lost a high averaged rider and there were no similar replacements available, you could half understand it. But they've lost a 4-point man. There's plenty of 3 pointers who'd be an adequate replacement.

Pathetic comment. based on no facts whatsoever. Eurosport haven't even screened a single meeting yet, and here's a supposed Speedway fan slagging them off for giving our sport 4 hours of coverage; an hour of which will be a highlights programme on Free-to-air TV for the first time. I wonder how many football fans moan about 4-hour programmes covering a football match?

Why? You'd rather watch those boring 5-hour programmes based around 22 men kicking a pig's bladder for 90 minutes?

Old Trafford are allowed 10,000.

1. Jason Edwards 7.53 2. Joe Thompson 6.48 3. Robert Ledwith 5.93 4. Henry Atkins 5.86 5. Paul Bowen 3.09 6. Jake Mulford 3.00 7. Harry McGurk 3.00 = 34.89

Is the Berwick website working for everyone else? This page works https://www.berwickspeedway.com/news/bullets-going-live/ But then I just get a mess when I try to open it here. https://www.berwickspeedway.com/banditstv/

I've been reading this thread because there's not much else going on. Decided to upload a few quid to Bet365 to play with whilst watching a Polish match last night. (not sure why people rave about Polish league. It was dragged out and quite boring racing) But anyway, at least I doubled my money by betting on Jankowski to outscore Pawlicki by 2, and Pedersen to score less than13. They seemed pretty obvious bets that I saw someone recommend. I'm now looking at Leszno v Torum today. Doyle to outscore Jack Holder by more than 1, and Sajfutdinov to outscore Lambert by more than 1, would seem obvious to me. Am I missing something? I know little about Polish racing, so I base my decisions on Britain and GPs. Is Polish form a lot different? Or is the worry that Holder and Lambert will have extra TS rides? I don't know the Polish TS rules. Do they sound like sensible bets? Maybe I got lucky last night. I don't want to push my luck.

Yes. Obviously, it matters to her or she wouldn't have wasted her time asking. Maybe it doesn't matter to you, but then it seems silly wasting your time responding. (especially as you don't know either).

You're suggesting he should give up his NL place at Kent and sign for Redcar in the Championship instead?

And Ryan Kinsley is at King's Lynn / Kent.
