Now pissing down

Dark thunderclouds and lightning behind the main grandstand heading towards us. Nasty red gash on rainfall radar. This could be problematic.

Interesting article (about state of Swedish speedway and traditional nicknames) https://proletaren.se/artikel/speedwaykris-infor-start-dyra-utlandska-forare-ruinerar-klubbar?fbclid=IwAR1EDIEaatLS9i5ZvZXvnGEBRqJV66Xzr_fY5YX8f69zb1NbKjaMUmhPTQI#.ZEvAADolJTN.facebook

IRR only available for top 4 in Aves. Has to be reserves.

having to ever stage it

Hard to find a single person who agreed with it.

I shall look forward to seeing Gusts again. Don't think I've ever seen a Romanian before.

Douglas guested at Leic last Thur so surely not eligible

Very similar to P'boro. [Iversen 6.29 followed by Worrall 6.13] In fact put the top 7 from both teams together and it comes to less than 42. (And top 6 plus JE as rising star is well under the limit.)

The team would have SIX heatleaders in the CL, and a combined GSA north of 50 points. They'd walk the CL.

I think the critisism of Basso is unfair. In a weak team more of him is expected than he can deliver, and as a young upcoming (and very talented) rider he can't be expected to score big in every match.

At present r/r for no 2 is stronger than r/r for no 1. You get rides for 1,3,4 & 5 as opposed to nos 2,3,4 & 5. A strange anomaly. Suggest r/r for no 1 should allow 2 extra rides instead of one.

Weather forecast looks iffy. I think the key factor is Wolves can't do any trackwork during the day to mitigate rain damage.

Possible reasons: 1) the risk/suspicion that race fixing could/was taking place 2) the odds setters were never sophisticated enough (e.g. failing to give due weight to gate advantage) to make money.

Unlike the opposition

There is a difference. Pedersen is demonstrably fit (or did I imagine his 18 point maximum for Grudziadz?) whereas Kennett was (allegedly) injured.

Have you seen the rate of attrition for football managers?

Danny has a 2.23 ave from 2019, Greg would come in on 2.00

Given at least one of the team was not Russian (Latosinski) I would go with USSR/Soviet Union

The difference is that Kennett was (or at least CLAIMED to be) injured. Nicki is so incapacitated he could only manage an 18 point maximum in the Polish Ekstraliga.

Yet aain the svemo site has been 're-designed' and I can no longer find past results. The drop down menu on the foot of: https://www.svemo.se/vara-sportgrenar/start-speedway/resultat-speedway/resultat-bauhausligan-speedway doesn't lead anywhere. Anyone know where they are hiding?

Also it includes a lot of matches at Leicester (average well over 10), but he won't be riding there this year in the Championship. Instead he'll be riding at all the other tracks (where he averaged under 8 last year). So unless he takes to Perry Barr the way he did to Leicester (which he may) his average will drop.

Ht 15 59.66 Note that ht 1 was just 0.05 outside the track record

Nowhere near 3,000 crowd 1 no Emil 2 no Nicki, and no replacement (at present) 3 it's not the first match of the season 4 they've just lost at home 5 most people expect them to lose again

How about the all day events at Peterborough (fours, Supernational etc) Probably some days at Pardubice during Golden Helmet weekend. There must have been quite a few 5 hour double headers in the UK (Bank Holidays at Rye House immediately spring to mind)
