Seconded. Had a few chuckles reading that. All the best Rob

Yet another great play-off final. They are here to stay. All the best Rob

Just spent 5 minutes or so putting together this list: Adam Ellis Zach Wajknecht Tom Perry Sam Chapman Liam Carr Ryan Blacklock Dan Greenwood Darryl Ritchings Martin Knuckey Max Clegg Matt Williamson Ellis Perks Nathan Greaves Arron Mogridge Bradley Wilson-Dean Ben Hopwood Marc Owen Daniel Spiller Ben Morley James Shanes Danny Ayres Aaron Baseby Tom Stokes Shane Hazelden Jake Knight Josh Bailey Danny Halsey Connor Mountain Kyle Hughes Luke Priest Luke Chessell Brendan Johnson Lee Payne Danny Phillips Oliver Greenwood I’ve probably missed a few names as well. I think there’s plenty of riders for a draft system. All the best Rob

Given how Riss performed at the OTA last time around, the Monarchs have to be major favourites to win this. It will be interesting to see if Somerset can upset the applecart and defeat the favourites. All the best Rob

Ah, I see, so Plymouth using a 28-day-facility for Fisher is totally different than Scunny using a 28-day-facility for Theo Pijper. OK, Lewy, if you say so. Where's your so-called principles now? I believe you called Scunny "cheats" for using a 28-day-facility for Theo. Are Plymouth now also "cheats", Lewy... or are your principles selective by team? All the best Rob PS Still looks like an intriguing tie to me. Two teams I'd like to see to succeed, so I wish good luck to whoever wins on aggregate.

You may have spoken too early, Lewy. Unless Mr Fisher is going to turn up on Friday after all All the best Rob

The Swindon website now also confirms the above is complete and utter nonsense. All the best Rob

While I'd welcome speedway back at Oxford next season, I highly suspect you're talking out of your bottom. All the best Rob

I'd hope someone would get all 13 positions right in a season review? Might be a bit harder in a season preview, though All the best Rob

Sid, Jack Young was already one of the best riders in the world in 1950 - he topped the qualifiers. So it's not unreasonable on think that he would have won the 1950 Grand Prix Challenge, and then won the 1951 GP series. Tai Woffinden was far more of an outsider in 2013. All the best Rob

Anyone got a Chucks-To-English dictionary? PS Play-offs are here to stay. Fixed dates are needed, though. All the best Rob

As both riders are on international duty, I think guests would be permitted for both. Meanwhile, with two Edinburgh riders on parade in Melbourne, and none from Glasgow, I suspect we'll see Blobby reach new heights of paranoia and hysteria in the coming weeks. All the best Rob

Some pre-war proggies from "rare" tracks can go for £200 or £300. Most I paid for World Final was for 1936, just over £100 to complete the collection. 1961 used to be the most expensive, but has already come down in price, I waited and was pleasantly surprised when I eventually got one cheaper than I expected to pay. All the best Rob

Who will be reserve at Glasgow for these meetings - Sarj or Palovaara? The September figures were pretty close. If Sarj is back at reserve and can avoid the tapes, it might add some extra strength to the Tigers. Should be an intriguing two legs. All the best Rob

I see two-thirds of the Panthers Trio from the old Weird World days are still around and are as barmy as ever. Well done Peterborough on last night's win, but after their gamesmanship, I wonder if we'll see a pumped-up Sheffield out for revenge in the second leg. That second leg should be one hell of a meeting, because there's certainly no love lost between the two sides after this week's events. All the best Rob

Glasgow's leg of the final will be 18th October then :rofl: All the best Rob

Yes, but where's the confirmation from BSI/FIM; they still show TBC. Not saying that it won't be Masters and Sedgmen, but there's been nothing official yet from the FIM. I would guess the Edinburgh vs Sheffield/Peterborough semi-final will take place on the dates of October 1st through October 4th. Peterborough are talking of a date of the 25th or 27th for the second leg against Sheffield. All the best Rob

The FIM might not be best pleased. Or they simply might not care. After all, we're talking about (probably non-riding) track reserves here. Doesn't make a lot of difference who they are. Have the track reserves definitely been decided then? Official SGP website still says TBC. It could turn out that Glasgow are missing Morris, while Edinburgh are at full strength... if those teams reach the final. All the best Rob

Because we've got two riders who have qualified on MERIT, and don't need the charity wildcard picks like the Swedes do. All the best Rob

Because these were the reserved dates since the start of the season and should have been kept free. It's already mid-September, and time to get on with the play-offs. Each year, they just about get completed in the last week of October. One year they won't get finished at all. High time for fixed date play-offs in the PL. How would you feel, Skippy, if Plymouth reached the final and then there wasn't time to hold that final? All the best Rob

Surely Nick Morris will get the wildcard, in which case it's Glasgow who will be missing a rider? Anyway, to answer the question, I hope it's Sheffield, because they seem the only PL team interested in getting on with the play-offs!!! All the best Rob

Surely these meetings should be this Friday and Sunday. Just as Peterborough's home leg should be on Friday. All the best Rob

Cheers. No Graham announced blue (Davies) as second. It was just several of us thought Wilko had got it. Seems we were wrong. All the best Rob

No doubt he's getting ready to camera-bomb Rosco's moment of glory, should it come next Monday. All the best Rob

The only fact that is relevant is that Peterborough have tried to turn down a reserved play-off date that has been in Sheffield's fixtures since the start of the season. It shouldn't be allowed... and judging by the fact the fixture is listed on the BSPA website, it hasn't been allowed. All the best Rob
