Witches to lose now. Thought Holder was a poor selection for Monmore and so it proved.

Would have thought Howarth rather than Holder. Surprised Belle Vue not using Wright, he scored 16 at Monmore earlier in the year. Wolves using Aussies? They do have three of them, can't imagine the heat would bother Becker being from California and from my casual viewing of scores seems to the the Wolf in the best form currently. Batchelors best performances for Sheffield last year were at Monmore.

I assume it's Banks's?

Is there any evidence that this chap actually exists?

It was known before but Ostrow are terribly out classed.

Are the pairings known for the Monmore leg of the pairs on Monday 18th July?

Aussies saved Aces blushes, Zagar needs to be scoring better than that. At least Aces Foxhall visits are over unless the two teams meet in the playoffs.

Lineup swapsies don't seem to suit the Tigers.

Didn't every visiting club to Saddlebow Road win last year? I thought Wolves may sneak a narrow win but not now.51-39.

Tigers 61, Basso & Harris 23 (+6 from other Panthers).

Was hoping for a point but without Wright & Etheridge I can't see it.

League Cup & Pairs!

I assume you think Sheffield are? Score was that different when they were the visitors last week. Personally I'd be very happy if Eurosport don't televise another league match from the NSS all season!

I was just going to say Simon Stead walked past the Grandstand queue in a Eurosport Polo.

Glad he's feeling up to it after that crash.

If the big six zero has been achieved previously by the Ace's this season it can only have been the visit of the Panthers. If Ace's ride like they did last week it will be ridiculously one sided.

Hope Cook is more interested in racing than he was last Monday. No. NKI low average rules out Holder & Ellis, Doyle & King. P'boro & Wolves are in action so their riders are busy.

Probably the only chance KL have of scoring 30 of Aces ride like they did against the Tigers. Musielak isn't great at NSS but I'd rather watch him try to score points & fail than the other riders that fit, can't see him coming from Poland unscheduled for a guest booking. Sure KL will go with R/R (cheap).

Not a single post meeting comment from a Brummies fan.... says allot.

BIRMINGHAM: Lewis Kerr, Stefan Nielsen, Claus Vissing, Ashley Morris, Justin Sedgmen, James Shanes, James Pearson. GLASGOW: Craig Cook, Danyon Hume, Ulrich Ostergaard, Benjamin Basso, Tom Brennan, Broc Nicol, Connor Bailey.

If a facility is card only they won't have a "float" so customers without the correct change are unlikely to purchase anything. When the BSPA decide he's a rising star Suspect it has more to do with Poole wanting to run meetings on their traditional Wednesday night. In older traditional times it would have got Sheffield the aggregate bonus

Douglas form has dipped as has Wolves league campaign.

That was obvious a month and half ago. At least Stars have the cup & pairs. Never, with the exception of Ipswich the other teams are too abject at Monmore.

I attended in high summer once when Poole had Holder & Ward (Kasprzak out-shone both that night against the Panthers), the aging grandstand was full and there was a smattering of fans on both bends but nowhere near 3000. Unless that grandstand has Tardis qualities. A few years later, on my second visit against AJ's abject Hammers with Kurtz & Andersen (don't remember any other riders) the crowd was about the same.

The club have to be fair to season ticket holders who stumped up the money at the start of the season, for little more than a free program - which if it wasn't included I certainly wouldn't buy. I read (most of) it but it's hardly compelling! The burger vans outside the grandstand were also absent. If the Aces are in that form I dread to think how one sided the televised match next week is likely to be, guessing no NKI and with Wolves at the EoESg, riders from Tigers/Witches available to guest... I'd assume Doyle & Holders averages are too high? Don't pretend to know the rules now but looking at the GSA's I think King & Ellis are also too high.
