It wasn't much of a perk when they blocked us signing him before the Scunthorpe meeting!

Bomber has guested 7 times, Scott 13.

I think that would be a decent team. Even Starke. On that averages at reserve, based on what he's done so far for Workington, I think he'd be a good signing.

I expect it will be Anders.

Not loads of passing, but good one from Freddy Hodder on McGurk later on. Workington fully deserved the win and good points for Claus. Only waited 10-15 minutes for chips today, rather than 30 minutes! Tastier than Ashfield's too...

The most likely cut off date is the date the last league fixture takes place. All other dates are merely indicative, based on recent seasons.

If he's banned, wouldn't the SCB have said as much?

Yeah, I clocked we have the advantage there. I think you'll put the points on the board though.

Personally, I think this has potential to be anything from very tight to a walloping.

Workington are in the driving seat, for me. I don’t see them slipping up, but if they do, I’d favour Glasgow to take it. It would take a fairly spectacular failure from both these clubs for Redcar or Plymouth to finish fourth, looking at the fixtures, for me. I have Glasgow finishing on 17 points (min), Workington on 20 or 22, Redcar 17, Plymouth 14.

Tigers’ team for this fixture is awful. We only have three of our regulars: Bomber, Pearson, Smith. Leon and Matic are riding on the continent, and the other two are out. Not sure who is replacing them.

I just chuckled as Dave Rowe referred to the “no facility guest” on BSN when introducing the teams tonight!

“No facility” simply means you are not granted what would be considered a like-for-like replacement. With the 75% rule, it probably needs a better name, but the sport has bigger problems tbh.

This is the rule. It could also be that Ace was all they wanted to pay for.

Assets don't matter in this context. You have to be declared in a team.

Good luck to the Workington Tigers this afternoon!

Yes, I see the logic in that, as long as schedule changes are in good time.

Perhaps they should join the Championship then.

We need to do that by bringing the world class riders back, rather than by diluting the quality of the Championship.

If the points limit goes down, that would be insane. 42 next year would provide parity to this year.

It would make a lot more sense to give each team an equal number of guaranteed first choice race nights, but I know that's far too simple and logical to be considered.

Me too, but they never win in this situation. I'd have been minded to chance it though, especially given the team we had tonight.

The irony is, tonight’s team would’ve been easily the strongest we’ve been this season.

Shouldn’t be that controversial tbh. It’s not like NDL riders should also be running in the main leagues in Poland, Sweden, Denmark or the Premiership really, is it?!
