Paco not racing for Edinburgh tomorrow night as racing abroad (seen Drew guesting for him). Possibly that also.

The problem is that Scott passed Charles last year and then Charles run into him. That is exactly the same as what happend today. Surely with the 2 different referees seeing TV footage of the incidents we get the same exclusion (not different like we got). They have both been trained so surely they are shown scenarios and how to judge them while doing their training. if both referees hadn't seen footage of the incidents then I can see them getting different results but I cannot see them getting different results after seeing tv footage.

Scotty was in front of Charles last year but he still got excluded.

Shame that Scott got excluded last year when Charles rode into him. No consistency at all

Normally have Ben fund collections at shared events.

Bewley possibly only won at Cardiff because of Laguta and Sayfutdinov. Bewley and Holder got into the GP's when the Russians were kicked out. Who knows who would be in the GP's if that didn't happen.😁

You still have riders picking and choosing even with it being at the start of the season. Nicolai Klindt not riding in this meeting? Richard Lawson not riding in the pairs?

Did Erik Riss have an average in the championship at the season end? Thought he wasn't racing championship last year. So must be using his average from the premiership converted?

GB youth training camp? Seen mentioned somewhere it was there but not sure about dates.

Not looked back through the pages but didn't BT sports and Warner Bros Discovery join up a few years ago? I'm sure I received an e mail saying I was getting the discovery app added to my subscription due to this new partnership. Is this not how it's TNT sports now?

No idea about last year. Just said Freddie was working for them so you are probably right. Will give them a listen when I have time. Thanks. Started listening to Scott Courtney one just now.

Listening to the talk speedway podcast with Peter Facenna. Freddie working for the Glasgow owners (probably a good reason for him to go to Glasgow). Interesting listen. Need to listen to more of these as good content.

Emil wasn't a GP rider and he was an 8 for Ipswich so Madsen would be the same.

No home meeting v Workington? Says on website report away to Workington on 28 June (although a night meeting in the fixtures). Also has us away the following week (5 July) to Workington? Also has pairs and riders championship a different way in the fixtures compared to the report? Will check the British speedway website when I have time.

Find out tomorrow when fixtures are.

Teams will race and not make excuses? What other sports have 4 months between rounds of a competition?

Why was the first leg of the semi finals for the BSN trophy run at the end of August with the final completed in October? This is the start of season competition and teams held the competition up. Tell teams you are racing before a certain date or you are thrown out the competition.

Should be set dates for competitions like other sports. BSN - April, May (semi final), June (final). KOC - round each month (May, June, July etc). This would leave the build up to the league play offs free. Teams shouldn't be able to hold up competitions. When looking at premiership KOC the dates are in the fixtures already. If I go to the football or rugby cup competitions, the dates are set.

Exactly. Need luck on your side at times. If Brady was injured for the play offs instead of being injured for regular season matches

Belle Vue wouldn't have been in the final this year if there were no injuries to other teams top riders (could be argued). If Sheffield had Tai then they would have more than likely won over the 2 legs. Belle Vue weren't as good when Brady was missing either so that would be a valid argument. Same could be said about Jason and Emil missing.

Hopefully he does go well for Workington. Just saying you shouldn't be dropping your average by just under a point when the league averages strength dropped by 2 points this past season.

A good reason we finished bottom is because Jye's average drop was the 2nd most in the league (only behind Ben Barker). Didn't help when we also had Lewis Kerr 3rd equal either (a good enough reason for Berwick fans not wanting Jye back).
