  1. Agree. The two rides for Embleton seems entirely justifiable, but I am struggling to see how Woods was allowed to replace Dugard in heat 14.
  2. 12.5 refers to injury sustained during the meeting. So it is moot whether Dugard and Embleton's injuries were fresh. If they were 'aggravating old injuries then neither should have been replaced in heat 14. "If a rider is prevented as a result of an injury sustained in that meeting, as confirmed in writing by the MO, the minimum ride rule will not apply"
  3. He hit the fence during his second ride, so may have done some damage then.
  4. 11 from Kyle, and Chargers would 'only' have won 52-37
  5. So no beating a rider the quality of Ben Morley off a 15 metre handicap then? http://www.gbspeedway.com/2022/meeting.php?mc1=x&mc2=f&mc3=pf&mc4=Oxford Chargers&comp=NL&meeting=440
  6. All this King must go talk is pretty pathetic. Before tonight he had the HIGHEST 2023 average of any BRITISH rider in the Premiership (yes above Bewley). Are Ipswich fans really so fickle that they want to ditch him after one bad match?
  7. I was also standing with Rob and Alan (what's the collective noun? A scribble of programme columnists? A witter? A drivel?) and I'm siding with Alan on this one
  8. Did I hear that next week's match against Wolves may not be on dus to stadium availability?
  9. No it is 90-all after two legs with Wolves having won the bonus point.
  10. It is dependent on how many stewards they have available. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't.
  11. The telling moment was the way he reacted when Ablitt packed up inches in front of him (ht 6) skillfully changing line to avoid an almighty collision.
  12. Barry Bishop, facebook, 26 May June 4th Nora No Brakes Racing League meeting at Iwade to be cancelled. Following the hugely successful first round, we are devastated to inform you that the second round of the Nora No Brakes Racing League scheduled for June 4th at Iwade Kent has been cancelled due to unprecedented pressure from the SCB on Kent Royals owner Si Kellow. The situation is as follows; Barry Bishop and Martin Widman hire the stadium directly from Sittingbourne Speedway, we applied for the permit, we ran the event for the 1st round. The only link between the Kent Royals and Sittingbourne Speedway is that Graham Arnold is cited as being the Royals co-promoter, and he holds the lease on the Iwade track. Si Kellow is connected to Sittingbourne Speedway in the same way that we are - he hires the stadium for Kent Royals matches. Si Kellow is not a part of No Brakes Racing, yet the SCB have both imposed a fine on Kent National League Speedway (the company owned by Kellow) and revoked the Kent Royals SCB track licence suspended for 12 months telling the Kent based club that they must only run events under ACU and SCB citing the threat of pursuance of the SCB in the event of a litigation claim, despite both SCB and Nora being underwritten by the same company Sports Insure. The Nora No Brakes Racing League has no wish to see any Speedway club close even if we totally dispute the reasons, so we have to cancel June 4th. Not only does this cancellation deprive Iwade Speedway of much needed revenue, it also deprives riders of track time and you the fans a great afternoon’s entertainment. The feedback from round one has been staggering from volunteers, fans, sponsors, and rider, and we urge the SCB to reconsider its approach to the situation. There is so much more that could be written about this situation but for now we must support Si Kellow and the Kent Royals to ensure we don't lose another club for the most disgraceful of reasons. We shall of course continue with a full season on the Isle of Wight, continue to grow the Nora No Breaks Racing League, and our door always remains open to discuss anything with the SCB. We look forward to welcoming you at Smallbrook Stadium on June 22nd when We open our summer season.
  13. But how many did Nathan score for the Colts at Armadale?
  14. Won't they be the ones scoring maximums, as: 1) they won't be getting any more KL paydays so will need the money, and 2) they will want to encourage other teams to believe that they are worth signing.
  15. Or look at the under 24 league where Pollestad (decried by some as an undeserved nomination) is averaging 9.7, while Leon Flint (the no 1 U21 Brit on domestic form) is averaging 5.8.
  16. Frequently. Since 5 July 2019 Smith has ridden 16 away NL matches and only scored double figures twice. He is just not very good away from home. (One of his rare double figure scores was at Oxford last year)
  17. Average in ekstraliga above Lidsey, Holder (Chris), Woryna and fractionally behind Dudek so have a guess.
