Slightly more than one. Check tomorrow at 8.30am!

And how about each rider being able to select a round where they can score double points?

Maybe it's time for the series to be called the Grand Prix Invitational Open, rather than the World Championship. It's missing top riders due to the tail (PZM) wagging the dog (FIM / Discovery), plus the rules are now more fitting of It's A Knockout than a genuine World Championship.

I thought you'd going to speedway for enough years to realise the rider in blue who turned right is a home rider and therefore it could not have been Jody Scott, who was in yellow and an away rider.

Cameron Heeps on Paternity Leave tomorrow. Jason Edwards guests.

I'm not saying they weren't. But as soon as Luke tried to race again in Heat 6, there were problems.

Because no-one - including the Poole medical team - realised at that moment in time. As soon as it was realised it was the case, both the Oxford management and the Poole medical team, ensured Luke was withdrawn. That's not a criticism of anyone, simply an explanation.

Are you seriously telling me that had Luke Killeen not had Vinnie Foord barge into him and rip out over half the spokes in Luke's wheel with Vinnie's footrest, face-planting Luke and giving the lad concussion, that Luke wouldn't have scored at least six points so that Cheetahs would have won the Championship Grand Final on aggregate? Deluded of Dorset is alive and well!

That's not really true. The damage was done in the first fall on Wednesday. He slid off in Heat 6 because of what happened in Heat 2. Speak to Luke, he can confirm that.

Foord injured both Oxford reserves on Wednesday - Jody Scott also ruled out next week. Jack Smith guesting for Killeen in both legs. Scott is no longer the guest for Adam Roynon. It's now Ben Trigger at Poole and Connor Coles at Oxford.

Workington were in the play-offs, so Starke ruled out as rules don't allow him to guest for another team within the play-offs.

In which case, he'd have got to Scunthorpe around 7pm - around the time the meeting was finished 🤔😄

Poole 26 Ipswich 64 (Elite League - 1998)

One day poor old Fozzie will actually crack it and manage to be funny.

Yeah, that is something. Seems to be more than Ipswich did!

2 or 3? Should be around 6 at the minimum. That's the half the meetings and would be the equivalent of entering a second half junior team. Either clubs are committed to helping out British youngsters or they're not. No half measures.

To be fair, King's Lynn did have a programmed second half when I went there. Nothing at Ipswich, though.

Any truth in the rumour that both Poole and Oxford have called in track expert Starman to offer his priceless pearls of wisdom for both October 5 and October 9.

They had to enter the NJL or (more appropriately) the MDL. I didn't think either Ipswich or King's Lynn were in the MDL, although I could be wrong.

Poole, Leicester (who didn't need to stage a round but did) and Berwick have all staged meetings. By my reckoning, the other two clubs who have to stage a round are Ipswich and King's Lynn - I assume Plymouth don't, because of the British Under-21 semi-final. Any idea when the dates will be?

Alan loyal to his speedway team! Shovvy should follow suit and stop moaning.

Still plenty of time to go to Oxford. Traffic around Oxfordshire on Saturday evenings isn't a problem.

Will be a massive crowd packing in at Oxford, and won't start bang on 7.30pm. Head straight there and you won't miss anything. Less than 100 minutes between Leicester and Oxford. Loads of time.

SATURDAY, October 5, 7.30pm

Sensible thing would be to give the Oxford track awhile to dry out. You wouldn't believe the weather Oxfordshire had on Monday. Once in 50 years kind of persistent torrential rain all day. Lots of homes flooded out.
