I have no idea to be quite honest. Bjarne Pedersen maybe? An old favourite of Garry May but I'd have no idea what his average is and going on previous years I think his best is probably behind him. Other than that I'm really not sure especially now the Polish leagues are throwing their weight around blocking certain riders and calling the shots with their own Poles too. I think Chris Holder is due to be missing for Kings Lynn next week which is a massive shame, but it's a big chance for Rohan to turn his season round although the stars still look good at the top end with Lambert and Batchelor to contend with. I agree - however the biggest problem for Rohan is that his average is currently 9+ and looking like it will drop to 4+... a massive difference especially as the options to strengthen up once the averages change will be even less limited. Rosco was interviewed and gave the impression it was nothing to do with him. However I'm not entirely sure I believe that - but at the same time the rule book says only RR in my eyes so that's what we had to stick to. BSPA made a phone call just after 2 o'clock apparently.

Barely any riders will meet their average because so many riders started the season on false averages. Everybody's starting points limit was 50.00 whereas the average will be about 42.00. Jason Doyle for example started on 13.00+ and can only ever achieve a maximum of 12.00 if he wins every race At the moment I think only Hougaard's average is due to go up, maybe Jake Allen too. When we won the old premier league last year our total averages was only 47.00 so again, averages were bound to go down!

Heat 9 and heat 13 absolutely superb. I think I'd go as far as saying that's the best I've ever seen Josh ride. A massive pity he ended up on the losing side.

I disagree. Jan is near enough doing his job. It's likely he will only ever get 3 rides a meeting because we have Jake as our main reserve. Jan won heat 2 comfortably and is never too far out of the mix. I don't think we can ask for too much more from him. Paul Starke is having abit of a tough time of it for us but he is always there or there abouts so I'm sure it's a matter of times before he starts banging in the decent scores for us. He was unfortunate tonight as he laid the bike down to avoid what looked like a falling Bellego, only for him to somehow stay on the bike. He also packed up when a clear 2nd, so just all things that impacted on his score as he was all over Bellego and Ellis when he laid the bike down. Tungate however, is in massive danger. 6 from 5 rides and apart from one ride never really looking upto much. I've become a massive fan of Rohan after last season and I raved about him being our rider of the season. However he isn't cutting the mustard at the moment and his average is due to drop massively. I would expect him to be given one more home match next week against Kings Lynn and if things don't improve then he will be shown the door before his average drops and we lose out massively. On a side note, take a bow Josh Grajczonek. Absolutely stunning performance tonight. Incredible races passing Morris from behind twice and Doyle from the back too. His last to first nearly as good as heat 13. Take a bow.

The only thing I can presume is that Kurtz was booked as a guest if Starke was going to be missing. Seen as he rode last night for P'boro it looks like it should be R/R for Hougaard tonight which makes Swindon favourites in my eyes. He has been superb in all 5 of our matches so far.

I would tend to agree you're right - but another poorly written rule about "re-arranged" matches as technically none of the Rye meetings have been rearranged, they are now additional meetings to Ricky Wells' calendar. So yes I think you're right, but something that could be so simple gets made so complicated by inept wording in the rule book.

Has to be on official averages, which Tungate is still by far the no.1 on that count. I haven't looked at the rules myself but from the ones Grachan has quoted seems like abit of a boo-boo! The wording is so poorly written again though, why even include the "if permitted" part at the end of the ruling.

That's how it should be - a team 3 points over the 'average' total shouldn't be able to make changes unless it's like for like anyway.

Garrity had to remain in heat 13 to complete his 3 rides. He had already been taken out of heat 1 after hitting the tapes. However, I agree with you - Middlo isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

We were told by some foolish posters on Friday that once a facility had been granted it couldn't be changed. However, that has proved to be utter rubbish as suggested by a large number of people on Friday. Either that or Poole are making their own rules again and declaring Kerr to ride now

I remember Cory Gathercole doing something similar for us away at Plymouth before. Rode about 3 laps in the lead with a puncture before being overtaken on the final bend.

I think he means there shouldn't of been a facility - but once there was, it should of been R/R.

Way it's going, Tungate will end up at reserve. He looked better last night but still not a patch on how he was performing for us last year which is a concern.... especially after starting on a 9+ average. I'm a massive fan of Rohan so hopefully he turns it round and quickly.

I believe that's what Lord Ford said.

There were other guest options available.

Lord Ford clearly stated that Garrity wasn't the only option at Somerset. You're wrong again Starman.

If Kasprzak doesn't make it make on Sunday, I think the forum could literally go into meltdown!

Kasprzak had the chance to ride but choose not to so he made even less of an effort than Garrity. All these Poole fans slating Garrity should be slating your no.1 international superstar instead. That's besides the point, you were claiming it'll be a walk in the park and 7 points were on their way to Poole. Instead you've outscored us 4 points to 3 against the side everyone is saying will finish bottom. I'd expect more from the league favourites so Poole must be gutted... even more so as they've made you look daft... eh eh eh?? I was going to make that point - first of all there was no flights, then the rules wouldn't allow it, but it turns out there was flights so the rules must of allowed it for him to try... yet he somehow he couldn't book flights. None of which adds up to make any sense other than bull$hit....

Hahahaha you were saying... Poole to take 7 points when they only take 4! Where did it all go wrong Starman??

Kasprzak wouldn't of scored more than Garrity if he had the chance - because he did have the chance and decided he couldn't be assed.

Since when has that ever meant anything? People make they laugh. They slate the BSPA and SCB all the time but when it suits "because they said so" it's perfectly acceptable a reason as to why!

In that case, we may aswell say Tungate is hurting after Morris took him out earlier on and as we get a facility so we are drafting in Tai Woffinden for the night. It's okay though, because we get a facility. No questions asked as to why or how, we get a facility so it's okay everyone. Poor argument Shovlar. I too wondered that - it's not like Morris is now injured, he just doesn't have an engine. Not Somerset's fault again.... maybe he could borrow Kasprzak's bikes to blow the cobwebs off!

Garrity is better than a 3 pointer yep.

Intrigued to know aswell if Danny King has pulled out himself or have Poole pulled another fast one and got Nick Morris lined up at the last minute instead - after declaring their line up to Somerset?

Kasprzak should be receiving a ban for his abuse of British Speedway.
