I presume that ranking Bewley 6th and Dudek 7th has saved us 6 pages of outrage about the lack of a run-off. Had it been the other way round I can't imagine many on here being happy with the outcome. (And I confess this was a rule change that passed me by, and as I was watching an hour after the event I was avoiding all the helpful posts on here that would have clarified matters for me. The failure of the commentators to give any meaningful information about the climax was pretty poor)

Only in your little universe. Belle Vue are as good as in the final. Sheffield still have to beat Wolves BV combined GSA (Inc RS) 46.48 Sheffield 42.49 BV beat Sheffield 181-179 when they met in the league Against that Sheffield finished above Aces in the league, but in doing so scored 3 race points per match less The only thing that points towards a Sheffield win is Fricke's absence, and yes how BV cope with that will be a significant factor in determining the outcome, but at present Aces remain favourites to win.

18 dob 3 March 2004

There is a significant difference between saying I can't ride beforehand (be it work, wedding, or holiday commitment) and accepting a booking and not turning up.

Not to mention Chilton Foliat

I did warn you (although I had been assuming Ablitt would turn up)

You could probably get away with a toddler in a pedalo.

Riding in FIM event, so yes.

Richard May beating Barry Briggs -Twice (1972) Reading coming from 8 down to win in the rain 1973 Every other Racers victory at Swindon

A regulation that largely exists because Aces fans kicked up such a fuss about Wolves late season signing of Woffinden. [2016]

I would have disagreed on the basis that I thought he could best Kowalski, but having seen the Pole in Pardubice I am no longer of that view.

Leicester? Really, been there done that. Given crowds are often better on Saturdays for the Championship than Mondays in the Premiership were I just can't see it.* * Unless Damian Bates is selling up to someone very gullible or with very deep pockets.

You should, Oxford's return has been (largely) a roaring sucess and my transition to Cheetahs fan is going smoothly. Although I'm sure for both of us we'll always be Racer/Robin at heart.

Combined GSA of over 47. Seems unlikely the points limit will be anywhere near that.

Manchester City Council

Still a long way behind Harris, and he is behind Jason Edwards

Leicester - the council own the land. The site is on a long lease that I think David Hemsley still has an Interest in, and the current Speedway promotion sublet from him.

Still a great occasion though. Racing was much better on both Friday and Saturday - Janusz bursting thru in the SEC and Chlupac v Blodorn in the Ribbon meeting were way better than Sunday's racing.

You are so right- don't know what I was thinking there

Can't see how either are eligible. 12.4.2 (e) no rider, whose team is in the play offs may appear as a guest in the play offs, in that league.

So rain dance for Thursday then Harris for the restaging

Er yes it is. Only one, Doyle, has an official average in excess of 8.41 at present. And looking at unofficial averages only Doyle has an average in excess of 8.30. Using either measure there are six riders with averages in excess of 8.00.

He won the US Open at Champion ahead of second placed Charlie Venegas (55 year old).

Although with the exception of Ablitt and Hodder the Colts have pretty appalling away averages. And Sam McGurk got 0 from 5 guesting against Armadale earlier in the season. Their performance at Kent (again bar Ablitt and the reserves) was distinctly underwhelming. They should get the point they need but I wouldn't take it for granted.

They all double up/down so they've hardly been inactive.
