What you say about Woffy, Lambert and Bewley is true (and you can add that much of British champion Adam Ellis' formative experience was on French grasstrack). BUT To survive British speedway needs to produce its own riders. The NDL plays a vital role in ensuring that we have the second strings of the future. Without the NDL to provide opportunities to learn would riders like Paul Starke, Danyon Hume, Alfie Bowtell and Simon Lambert still be in the sport?

Yes Doyle had a truly awful season, only 4th in Ekstraliga averages.

2010 Buxton v Newport. 1st leg rained off (29th Oct) so 2nd leg at Buxton (31 Oct) became the deciding match.

Because he is a British citizen.

The Armadale v Mildy fixture has now got a date (23rd Sat afternoon double header with Poole in Cup final) With Leicester's senior season now done I imagine we'll soon get a date for the remaining matches (my guess - a double header on 24th or 30th)

GB finished 15 points ahead of Australia. Even if Kai Ward had ridden he'd have scored 4 points (both Brennan's races were against a single Swede). That would still have allowed us to squeeze into the semis by a mere 11 points. But you can't fault Tom Brennan, and he certainly delivered under pressure in his Sunday ride, and like you I am underwhelmed by the speedwaygb coverage of our victory.

He might be right, latest news on SGB website is still Poole thru to final

Team Rapid in Allsvenskan and Varde in DSL were also on his 2021 schedule. Someone said after today he deserved a British contract. My thought is he must have done something terrible to 'deserve' being stuck in British speedway

I think that given his scoring rate at reserve (5.91) I think it likely he would have pushed Bates or Proctor into reserve had they remained in the team and continued their 2021 form.

And how are you going to fit in Aspgren, Bewley and Thorsell's replacements? Do you have your magic white ink pen?

All a long time ago though. The most recent November meeting is over 290 years ago: 1 Nov 2000 King's Lynn Craven Shield

Because he only rode 4 matches in 2019 (17 rides 21 points) Add these to his 2021 scores (10m, 49 rides, 96 pts) And you get his current GSA 66 rides 117 pts = 7.09

A rule that was introduced to much approval on here, until fans discovered it wasn't always being interpreted in favour of their team. There then followed much whinging and promoters responded by getting rid of the rule.

You are wrong. His latest greensheet includes 10 matches from this season and 4 from 2019.

His average isn't really that inflated, because part of it still comes from 2019 fixtures.

Personally if he's in doubt I'd go with r/r or if I had to use a guest Paul Starke

IRR only available for a 'fresh' injury, so he'd also have to contrive a soft fall.

In fact the only one to have them in the top 3 (although Flappy did at least consider it a possibility.)

As you were saying. Well I suppose 1 out of 2 is a fair result.

Well you weren't wrong I suppose.

Last chance saloon now: Etheridge in ht 13 Brennan in 11 &14

Absolutely

Andersen - guests allowed up to 8.78 Bjarne 8.69. Looks like he fits to me

Unless he guests for Hans Andersen at Leicester (or one of the riders still involved in the Championship play-off is injured tonight and he guests for them)

Finely balanced. Definitely going to the second leg. Oh wait a minute I've got tickets and hotel booked for Manchester.
