  1. Did I hear that next week's match against Wolves may not be on dus to stadium availability?
  2. No it is 90-all after two legs with Wolves having won the bonus point.
  3. It is dependent on how many stewards they have available. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. But how many did Nathan score for the Colts at Armadale?
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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)
  10. Average in ekstraliga above Lidsey, Holder (Chris), Woryna and fractionally behind Dudek so have a guess.
  11. Entertaining meeting, must admit I would have called ht 13 back too. Sad to think only one or two more trips to Monmore before it has gone (I know the stadium will still be there)
  12. I'd argue that's been the natural state for the best part of 15-20 years, with Robert Lambert and Dan Bewley in quick succession being the exceptions that have helped mask our decline. Between 2010 and 2015 the top Brit in the World under 21 was Stefan Nielsen - 12th in 2015. Yes to test matches, if only they were logistically and financially possible.
  13. If any country is getting TWO wildcards it would be Czechia.
  14. I think I'm reprogramming satnav for Monmore Green tomorrow
  15. Ht1 Bowtell, Naylor,Kl Kingston, Daniszewski (f/ex) Ht2 Morley, Harris, Spencer, S Woolley Ht3 McGuiness, Spooner, Congreve, Watts Ht4 T Woolley, Widman, Butcher, Trigger Ht5 McGuiness, Butcher, Spencer, Daniszewski (ef) Ht6 Bowtell, T Woolley, Harris, Congreve Ht7 Morley, Kingston, Spooner, Widman Ht8 Naylor, Trigger, S Woolley, Watts Ht9 Morley, T Woolley, Watts, Daniszewski Ht10 Harris, Widman, McGuiness (15m), Naylor (f) Ht11 Butcher, Bowtell (15m), S Woolley, Spooner (FX) Ht12 Spencer, Congreve, Trigger (15m), Kingston (ef) Ht13 Butcher, Watts, Harris, Kingston (f) Ht14 Widman, Congreve, S Woolley, Daniszewski (f) Ht15 Spencer, T Woolley, Naylor (15m), Spooner (ef) Ht16 Morley, Bowtell, Trigger, McGuiness Note: the 15m handicaps were allocated by opposing team managers, not for normal penalty offences.
  16. The regulation does not mention attached or unattached. It refers to 'not in a declared team'. => Harrison is eligible as Dugard is currently in the named seven at his expense.
  17. 36 races in 3 hours 10 minutes. Warriors 32 (Morley 12, Butcher 9) Cradley 28 (Bowtell 10, Spencer 8) Sittingbourne 22 (T Woolley 9, McGuiness 7) Plymouth 14 (L Harris 7)
  18. 21st is a blank week. However Poole are currently listed as visiting Oxford.
  19. Funnily enough it was 5.00 (although his all match average was about 5.7 thanks to big scores in end of season play-offfs) http://www.gbspeedway.com/2016/ridercareer.php?mc1=s&mc2=rc&mc3=x&mc4=x&name=Benjamin Basso
