I think we established that 'experienced' NDL riders without a CL team ( e.g.Boxall before last week, Morley) can guest in the CL. However go back 2/3 years and that was not the case. A rule change that slipped under the radar (well mine anyway)

Topping last year's £2772 which was already the highest in either league.

Is it*? There appears to be no difference between finishing second and sixth. And I somehow don't think you are worried about Edinburgh overtaking you. * obviously commercial imperatives mean all postponements are bad from a financial perspective.

It would appear to be his only meeting there in the last 13 years. He might have ridden there in 09 with Newcastle or 05 with the Raiders looking at his earlier career. http://www.gbspeedway.com/2023/ridervstrack.php?mc1=s&mc2=rv&mc3=x&mc4=x&name=Steve Boxall&track=Scunthorpe - doesn't include individuals, but I can't see any he's ridden in since 2010.

Biggest victory margin since 2017 (Slangerup 63 Grindsted 22)

Remarkably consistent. He's no Finn Jensen.

They also benefitted from Mike Golding's ability to talent spot on the continent.

Don't forget the Pairs

Indeed, defamation is a very high bar to reach, any journalist/ reporter would just use a 'fair comment' defence.

As a travelling fan I have occasionally asked for a refund. I have always got it, but it never ceases to amaze me how grudging, obstructive (and often rude), people have been. What exactly do they achieve other than increasing ill-will and discouraging visiting fans from returning? The only exception was Peter Toogood who was polite, cheerful and sympathetic when organising a refund on the spot.

Excepting a few time-bound dispensation/facilities coming to an end, isn't every change by every team made with the intention of increasing the chances of winning things (even if it's only the great A47 wooden spoon derby)

If I'm remembering the 2021 Euro under 19 correctly, then ok may be stretching it a bit.

I think at this point the objective us to get through to the end of the season. I can't see how throwing money at Bickley is going to help that.

Kyle Howarth (29) is the youngest Brit in the field. And only Pickering (26) and Basso (22) are younger.

Think you may be overly pessimistic. While forecasts show high percentage chances of rain through the day (like the last two weeks) the BIG difference is the volume of rain. The last two weeks forecasts were (accurately as it turned out) showing 12-15mm of rain. Today we are looking at light intermittent rain amounting to no more than 3-4 mm (if the forecasts are right).

36, and to do that they MUST win at Wolves. So the pressure is on Ipswich. Leicester and Wolves will get 5 points to share between them in the B fixtures and matches against Lynn and P'boro offer further opportunities for points. The most plausible route to qualification is Sheffield failing to complete their fixtures. As it stands they have 2 dates to arrange and not a single Monday or Thursday available to them until after the cut-off deadline (unless it is extended again).

Well I've bought some raffle tickets so I've got something to look forward to.

Surely the first thing you see on entering Monmore Green is Elliot the world's most perpetually cheerful raffle ticket seller

Close. It is his average from 2014, but he rode more recently - in 2016 but without getting a new average.

Surely Lebedevs replaces him and a new wildcard (most likely Gusts) is named. That's what happened last year at Cardiff in SGP2. Brennan was wildcard and series first reserve. He replaced someone (Salonen?) and Flint took the wildcard spot.

And think of the brouhaha if he 'accidentally' failed to score

BSPL site shows tonight as the A fixture with 4 Sept for B fixture

Peterborough already have- Wojdylo, Harris and Tarasenko all coming in. And Lynn have made 4: Laguta , Breum, Lambert and Rowe

Can only guest for one team per tie. So as there are only 3 ties it ain't possible. .... unless there is a special dispensation

Soon I hope Just so I can see all the dinosaurs have apoplectic fits.
