I like the Speedway Star Match of the Week feature, they only give the Rebels an 18 point lead. Still too much though.

Olly was finding some drive out near the fence early on but later just went spectacularly backwards so the dirt went somewhere. Most of the passing was over in the first half lap when the Rebels missed the gate. Despite what the Trees' of this forum think the NLRC was an exception and the racing in the last month or so at Rye House has been excellent. Heat 15 last night was fantastic though despite the result...

Surely he was talking about himself and the bikes going to Pardubice for the U21 World Cup Final this Saturday wasn't he? The last press release said he was trying to get a late flight so that he could race at the OTA.

I don't know what's planned for this Saturday, but the second half of the Cup Final meeting on Sunday 6th is due to be the MDL Championship Final between Milton Keynes and Belle Vue.

Probably both airfence related. There's a lot of work to be done to move the fence out to accomodate the airfence and it's probably eaten up the firework budget and more.

SR 4.1.6 uses the same form of words as on the Rider Registration form beginning "All Riders and Officials are required to conduct themselves..."

Didn't Craig say Luke was riding in the Silver Ski Holidays individual meeting after talking about the Wimbledon match? That's the way I heard it anyway, although I was talking at the time...

Yes he is. Sunday 6th October @ 2pm.

If there are no chocolate bars on the shelf or they keep turning up damaged then the customer does want to know what's going on. If we kept turning up to find lots of good quality chocolate bars then I'm sure all but the career whingers that no longer eat chocolate would be happy.

Six points.

Sadly no, judging by this quote from the TM in the post-match press release, “Jason had a practice at Sheffield last night and felt OK afterwards, only to wake up this morning with more pain than before. I would have to say that he is highly questionable for either match.” Can't disagree with that.

Not the Rockets finest hour and a half, but at least not the worst performance of the night...

You're probably right. Ben managed to find his way to Redcar last night to get two paid seconds from four for Glasgow.

For whatever reason, Ben doesn't do northern away matches. James Sarjeant is the usual choice. Coincidentally, Ben has tweeted within the last hour "Guest bookings??"

Bates rode for the Rockets at Leicester and tonight he rides for the Monarchs.

Does anyone know who was European Champion last year?

The qualification for a rider on an assessed average to obtain a real average is 4 home/4 away. Having ridden in 6 away meetings, Pontus' 4th home meeting was the Leicester match. The new average takes effect after 7 days. According to the Rockets' site, his GSA will be 7.09, making him 3rd heat leader.

Josh Grajczonek now guesting at no. 1 as Olli's arm has swollen up overnight.

I would guess he'll be at 4..

...or maybe not. Well done to Workington and let's hope the Rockets start off at Glasgow the way they ended tonight, 11-7 in the last 3 heats.

Hammer, meet nail head... ...and it appears to be the case on far too many threads on the forum.

It'd be unfair to send all our triers at once but you're getting the 6 available tonight, all worth watching. '8th Rocket' Grajczonek and fellow guest Hopwood may be less spectacular than those they replace but there are times when less is more as an alternative to Kamikaze style, especially on away tracks..

Can't gate but sometimes does. Can chase, harass and pass but often doesn't. I still think that, at his age, he has potential but he's far too inconsistent. When he's got his passing boots on he's a rider I wouldn't want to be trying to hold off and I can see him getting a 'dirty rider' reputation with opposition supporters, such is his tenacity at times.

Hopefully, having a 7 ride ringer at reserve will offset Ben Hopwood having to ride in the 2-5.

Thanks for the update. With the Sheffield match having started only 19 hours ago any information you can pass on is invaluable. Please keep us posted with the latest news on the subject. Apologies to Backless if I've muscled in on your territory.
