BSN have had a bit of a mare with these averages.

OK, I’ll put it another way. Get rid of the leagues tomorrow and the sport dies tomorrow - not in five years.

Yeah, individual events are nice, but league racing is the glue.

How many times do we have to say it, Glasgow don't live stream!

I wouldn’t write Craig off so fast. He’s got the fifth highest average in the Championship this season so he’s still got it, he’s just increasingly erratic. But when he’s on it, he’s just as good as he was a few years ago. It was a similar story last season, though not as extreme as this season.

Nevertheless, isn't it silly to have this and the Championship Pairs in the same week as the original cut off date for team fixtures? That's piss poor planning from the league.

It's basically a way of postponing disappointment beyond July, which is more what your used to.

I didn't see him at Armadale last night but I heard he was there.

I am not in favour of changing the rules.mid-season. See last year's Jubilee fiasco for why. As soon as they started messing with the agreed format, it fell apart.

Get the new guy in. Tom at 2. Bomber to captain. Lee to get another working engine like the one he took to Plymouth. Team will look much better then.

Yeah, but the car park is nearly a river.

Pretty sure the Edinburgh one was scheduled. Poole are being hopeful, I think. Not sure it will be clear from 7pm, and no chance of having both meeting done by 10pm. Brum meeting must be off at the very least. But the rain is coming down harder now, so I don't see how this is on today.

Must be a scheduled tweet.

Suspect it'll be a refund for digital payments, as that's very easy. But not called off yet, although I don't see how it survives.

I am in the car park. Think you're right. Not sure I'm willing to pay £70 for two people to find out on the other side of the turnstiles.

Apparently Birmingham thought they could, as I heard they were trying to sign him.

We have to avoid each other in the group of death first.

To be honest, we’ve been discussing that very rule for the last few days on here, so it’s not a surprise to us, even if signing Tarasenko specifically is. Let’s not pretend all the Championship clubs didn’t realise the rule is there. But now it’s been used, they might use their common sense to change the rule for next year.

The referee should then either warn or disqualify the rider. Happened at Glasgow recently, but I don’t remember who it was. Might have been a Poole rider but I can’t honestly remember. Doesn’t look like I noted it in my programme.

The referee is in sole control of the meeting. Take it up with him.

I think Tom should be relieved of the captaincy and given to Bomber instead. I think it would do Tom some good to only have to worry about his riding. Bomber’s a natural captain and he’s used to the pressure. Tom never quite looks at ease these days and I think having less on his plate will help him a bit.

I am confused. Is someone able to explain this please? I’d like to understand how this is meant to work (regardless of whether this is the issue or not).

One person has pointed out that because he’s got an assessed average of 5 in the Premiership, that would be converted to 7.5 for the Championship. If that’s the case, he wouldn’t fit - but have there been occasions where that’s not been followed? I don’t have the rulebook, so I don’t know if that applies mid-season or is between seasons.

But the signing doesn’t break that rule?

Disagreed according to which rule?
