What time did they finally finish?

That's a great encapsulation of British league speedway. However with a few exceptions ( e.g. BL2/NL in the 70s) that's pretty much been the state for over 50 years

No Stella and Wajtkneckt in ht 13 - is it past their bedtime?

On what basis does Smetana qualify for a work permit? (He was only 9th in the Czech Championship last year)

Forecast has continued to improve, so it's looking like a thumbs up

But that would involve Keleher being in the line up of both teams!

Well the SpeedwayGB website (Championship table page) clearly states: PLAY-OFF PICTURE - HOW IT WORKS- League Championship to be decided by play-offs (All play-off ties raced over two legs) Any the wiser? Me neither?

Have just checked my records and spotted two others: Paul Starke and (for 1 match only) Ed Kennett.

Yup

I would put money on i9t as I can only think four Brits who have ridden in the French League - and three of them are Ellis, Harris and Brennan

And with fewer Bulgarians

Will have to be very short term as Dan will get an average soon (18th I think), and after that I doubt if Kennedy will fit.

The ban has not been lifted. Punishment has been suspended, pending the hearing of his appeal. However there must be a good chance that when the appeal is heard the punishment will be reduced.

Favourites must be Jansson and Zetterstrom. I know Jansson Is the great grandson of World finalist Joel, is Manfred the son of Magnus?

Dag Lovaas was only 25 during his final British season (1976), having reached the world final in 1974 and won the league with a 10pt+ average in 1973 riding for Reading. He also averaged over 10 for Hackney (74) and Oxford (75). I believe his retirement was complete and he did not ride domestically after leaving British speedway.

Very much a case of marmite. I'm with Brian, but I appreciate that some people do enjoy shtick.

One look at the rainfall radar at 5pm told me I was right not to travel. See you next Tuesday weather permitting.

Indeed I recently saw him three times in three days (riding for three different teams!). He was excellent in one, rubbish in one and ok in the third.

I'd rather not

That's correct.

Yes he did get an average 3.94, but under rules that translates to a GSA of 4.00

Your not suggesting that Bates may end up with a specially virulent form of covid that requires isolation until October are you?

Only 2 Swedes in top 20 (Aspgren 2nd and Thorssell 11th) - Sweden's decline is becoming increasingly evident. Is there anyone other than Hellstrom-Bangs that really looks like a top class prospect?

James will get a new average 7 days after completing 4 home and 4 away, which should be 8 August (ignoring rain-offs and rearrangements)

Neil, I'm not sure you understand exactly why ukmartin is so outraged. The booking site publishes the names and exact locations of every customer in the inside seating area. It looks like a clear breach of data protection to me. For example let us imagine I am stalking you and knew you would likely buy a ticket in the restaurant. I could buy the ticket for the seat next to you thanks to the helpfully displayed seating plan. That said I still bought a ticket, but it is not a good system.
