Nothing worse than travelling a long way and it's rained off, I have plenty experience of that , so I hope the weather behaves itself for you

We need at least one more away win in our quest for a top two finish , all due respect to Plymouth , but out of the away fixtures we have left this is the best chance

Not 100% sure , but I don't think Danny is making his comeback until the home meeting with Ipswich on Sunday

No , it's fine , all that's missing is the weather forecast

Promoters only want transparency until they see a loophole in the rule book themselves that they can take advantage of .

He might need the practice at Ashfield , but unfortunately this meeting is at Rye House where we will do well to repeat last season's magnificent victory

O'Malley did , Penfold rode in the number 4 position only scoring in one meeting , 2 points in a home KO Cup meeting against Kings Lynn . He went back home after about a month citing home sickness as an excuse

The League Cup never seems to work that way though

Possibly or it could work the other way of giving clubs an end of season interest . Having the League Cup run over a month at the end of the season is surely much better than having group stages done by the middle of April and then having the semis 5 months later .

We still have the accolade of having the worst though . Take a bow Jayden O'Malley and Michael Penfold

League Cup would be better served as an end of season tournament , this year's final is going to be in October anyway . We could have the League and play offs and KO Cup decided by the middle of September , then have the League Cup to finish the season

Edinburgh clearly decided he was a flop

Really lol

Yeah Poole will probably win that again . Whilst Somerset look a cut above , our league title is not so easy to predict

Somerset's northern tour in a couple of weeks will be an indication of how they can perform , especially at potential play off opponents , at difficult away tracks . Both Ashfield and , as per usual , Armadale have been fortresses this season

Being dominant at home isn't enough , and what I saw of Workington yesterday , top 6 is well out of their reach

A lot of that depends as much on how quick the referee is to put the red lights on , some don't give the riders a chance to clear the track

Somerset have really clicked this year and are the team to beat . Grajczonek is doing what is expected , Tungate has found a new impetus since leaving Ipswich and Wright is as steady as ever . Starke has really kicked on this year and in Wilson Dean and Jake Allan they always have a potent reserve , which means they can be patient with the other laddie at 7 . Over two legs anything is possible , but they have been the team of the year . My own team look the side most capable of giving them a run for it , but we'd have to improve a bit away from home , especially at the Oak Tree Arena where we have fallen away in the second half of meetings there . Edinburgh and Newcastle cant be written off , but I get the suspicion that Glasgow and Somerset will be seeing quite a bit of each other in the closing weeks of the season

Edinburgh getting 4 points at Peterborough yesterday makes it imperative we get at least one more away win . Somerset look out on their own , but over two legs anything can happen , but securing second place in the league is important

More like October than August in the Charlie Monk stand today , racing was pretty poor too apart from when Lunna missed the gate and heat 15 . Worst Workington team in living memory at Ashfield , but it's another three points in our quest for honours .

Was just a case of when the rain started , Edinburgh didn't fancy it . None more so than heat 11 when Masters and M Riss gated and the Tigers pair breezed past them , then Masters toured round in his own time . Thought that you could get excluded for not making a bona fida attempt to race . But Edinburgh's unprofessionalism apart , that was a really solid and impressive performance by the Tigers today , and surely a 24 point lead is defendable , even at the Dump

Hope the final is better entertainment than last night's meeting . Thankfully Australia held on and the Joker didn't win the day

Just adds fuel to the flame , let's go out and put the tie to bed on Sunday and make the second leg irrelevant . No point getting into the rights and wrongs of the Mitchell Davey thing , Edinburgh got away with it at Scunthorpe , the BSPA have obviously decided that the manipulation wont happen again .

He might have stubbed his toe in the pits after the meeting last night . Obviously he must have got a medical certificate to excuse him from his ordeal tonight

Back to the drawing board then
