Peter Facenna was on the No Brakes No Fear podcast this week (with Bomber and Lee), and he confirmed the club is looking to stay in the Championship. They want to retain the Friday race night because it works well, and they're not convinced it would work commercially to go up to the Premiership. It's worth a listen: No Brakes, No Fear: The Official British Speedway Podcast – Sport Social Podcast Network (sport-social.co.uk)

Ace, Lee, Bomber. Ideally Claus, but even his average might be pushing it.

Simply can’t fit them in.

Don’t worry, when Bomber got the choice he often chose the wrong one. Eventually he realised it was easier to choose heat 15!

I’ve heard his average will be something like 8.60. I don’t remember the details of how or why, but I’ve been told he won’t be on a 5.

If it's 36, we are really talking about a different league. That's not the Championship as we've known it.

Given this is the Championship forum, I'll assume that league. Plus, I still don't think we will go up. I'd take: Bomber, Claus, Lee, Ace, Danyon. I think Ace is a given. Lee's been much better with better equipment. Bomber will be in demand but I hope he chooses to stay. Claus still has a great average. Danyon has a good average and was great away from home for us last year. Not sure what that comes to and what's left.

I never would've guessed so many people would turn up!

Sedgy and Marcin weren't replaced because of performance issues.

Champions! Just about to drive home from Ashfield to watch it again on BSN at home

Being serious, I don't think playoff matches should be allowed to finish with less than 15 heats.

Just get Ace to fall off every ride and take ages with the paramedics... no one will think it's unusual

Did you write for the Daily Sport in a previous life? It's about as believable

Well, that's fair enough, although I feel a stronger team manager would tell him to go and do it anyway, as he had a better chance of scoring. Just give him a pritt stick for the shoe.

That's not the rule. They are eligible to take a ride. It's not a requirement. If they so choose, one reserve can take all four (although you'd then need a reserve switch in one of their own).

No Cami, you're wrong.

Our scoreboard is frequently slightly wrong. Never trust it!

They don't have to take a ride. The rule is you must take three rides. R/R can be dished out however you like, within the 7 ride constraint, and the 1-ride constraint for eligible reserves. There is no 4-ride minimum.

No passing at Glasgow? Not much tonight, but I can't think of any track in the UK with more passing week-to-week.

It's not over. We have Cami.

Agree Ace was lucky. Decent start but we usually do.

Don't think he's here. Injured last night in NDL action and withdrew.

Nonsense.

Yeah, flexibility disappears as soon as riders ride elsewhere. Which they all want to.

Vissing still R/R tonight. Think he is still going to be present though.
