Depends how protracted the play-offs are. If the 14 team league has 12 teams in the play-offs in four groups of three followed by a semis and a final you could be right. And I think that's just the nonsense the BSPL would come up with.

I think it would be hard to justify that counting. [And three rides and 2 points puts him at the level of Jack Smith, Sam Hagon and Luke Killeen.] Edit: I was using the wrong data set. Have got the correct figures now: 23 rides 1.43 average. Quite respectable (Similar to Bailey and Edwards). Still I don't think yhat as a youth development league this should really count. Most riders who are worth 5 ( e.g. Parnitsky, Pollestad, Heiselberg, Vuolas will have ridden in other leagues)

On what basis? My understanding too

Since 2021 King 60 pts from 32 rides Riss 24 pts 22 rides Rew 11 pts 12 rides http://www.gbspeedway.com/2023/searchridervstrack.php?mc1=s&mc2=rv&mc3=x&mc4=x&er=0 Does all the work

In theory supplementing qualification with wildcards should ensure the strongest possible field, but the problem is that there is no transparency - who makes the choice and what are the criteria? For example in the last 5 GPs: Lebedevs 5 GPs 0 semi finals Fricke 5 GPs 5 semi finals. Yet Fricke is out and Lebedevs is in (I quite like Lebedevs and don't think he'll be out of his depth, but still...)

I think you mean "recommended for refusal and will be determined at a planning ctte meeting on ..."

The issue is NHS funding is determined by historic data and that means new residents of the development are unfunded for the first year of occupation. It is that shortfall that the NHS are seeking to cover using the argument that it falls within the CIL (or whatever 'planning gain' is called this week)

What do you mean again? They haven't finished the first one

And Mildenhall will now be without Complin

And "convict Island Australia" suggests a rather parochial world view.

It was the Prudential (as mentioned upthread). And connection to Brandon Estates - none whatsoever.

Because it would be advantageous to Berwick. You and I know the par (neutral) starting position is 42. If you want weaker teams then go for 40 by all means, but let's not pretend it's the 'steady state'.

Yes and I thoroughly recommend Bowen's Pies at Belle Vue.

Kelsey rode for Worky and Oxford in NDL this year. And his brother Connor promoted at Eastbourne

And another with exotic nationality (there is a clue there)

I know, I know. But as I was chatting to you when I saw her race I have an unfair advantage!

I've never met an otter with pockets, just how wet do they get?

Very much a positive development

Go on .. do it ... ...I just want to see who's head explodes first at the suggestion he retain his 6.50 average

See below

Boughen Harrison Sam McGurk Hodder Perry James Freeman and?? (Note I'm assuming that Trigger and Hagon are not eligible as have averages above 2. And Killeen would be at Oxford with Boughen.Marson and Congreve might squeeze in as 'British')

Presumably without TV involvement they would not have called it off before lunchtime today, and looking at the current forecast (approx 3 hours light intermittent rain this afternoon, but dry later) would have decided to give it a go.

That was 2014/15 to accommodate the 'Elite League Draft' , basically a previous iteration of 'Rising Stars'

Bartosz and Freddie 18 semis - 16 finals reached Dan and Robert - 15 semis - 4 finals That's where it is won and lost.

But it won't happen without some sort of limit on heatleader strength. History shows that it is almost always the 5 point riders who get dropped for even weaker 2.00 reserves.
