Pretty sure most clubs would opt for their regular 1-7 given the chance. Unfortunately injuries and other factors outside of speedway often don’t allow it.

Leicester using RR tonight. How about they field a full team?

You have absolutely no idea what you’re on about, just here for argument. Guess what, you lost

Before my time

They attempted something in the second tier in 2006, British reserves stayed at reserve no matter their average during the season. Steve Boxall (Rye House) and Jon Armstrong (Mildenhall) averaged 7 at one stage which some promoters didn’t like, so that idea was dropped mid season

He certainly did

You’re always hopeful, but I have my doubts

Those are the league averages I worked out for this season alone, not the rolling averages. Don’t know where the 5% comes into it. The figures in brackets are the difference from the season starting average

Very true. No right minded speedway fan would want to see any side go to the wall. I’ve lost my side, it’s a horrible feeling

Newcastle don’t bring many to Berwick. Losing Edinburgh would hurt Berwick more

I’ve been keeping track of the Bandits league averages. These are not the official rolling averages Up to and including Glasgow (H) 28th May Chris Harris - 9.48 (+1.59) Ricky Wells - 8.31 (+1.72) Jye Etheridge - 8.26 (+2.81) Leon Flint - 7.31 (+1.42) Theo Pijper - 6.73 (+1.22) Ty Proctor - 5.52 (+0.10) Kyle Bickley - 4.70 (+1.19) *edit* Figures in brackets are the difference from the season starting average

Congratulations

From where I was standing on the third bend you could see the track was different where the sun had been on it. The third and fourth bends (in the shade) seemed to catch a few out early on, Cook included. Seemed to settle down after a while. The track was definitely deeper than recent meetings. Seemed to benefit some more that others The main difference was Glasgow being sharper from the traps and rider replacement not working in the home sides favour. Couldn’t been a lot worse if Cook hadn’t had a below par night. Bandits need a fit Jye Etheridge back pronto. He was virtually unbeatable around Shielfield before his injury.

He’s bound to lose form at some stage, most riders do. The rest of the side need to step up.

Glasgow deserved the win. More ruthless from the tapes for most of the night. Weird evening for Cook. Didn’t look comfortable when he missed the gate. The absence of Jye Etheridge is beginning to tell. Only 3 points from Rider replacement was a real difference. The sudden loss of form of Theo Pijper is worrying. Kyle Bickley looked to have bike Issues early on, but looked more on it later in the meeting.

May need to borrow a couple of your riders to see off this Glasgow side

Leon Flint still nursing a shoulder injury and looked rusty. Twelve points to pull back is too much of an ask

What is the nature of BWD injury and what’s the expected return date (if any)?

First meeting of the season was delayed for 15 minutes due to queues at the turnstiles. I expect a huge following from Glasgow as usual.

Too slick to produce a classic. Decent meeting nonetheless.

First went to Armadale in 2005. Each year I’ve noticed the new housing getting closer. It was only a matter of time

Not ideal if running RR for Jye Etheridge. Only Leon Flint, Theo Pijper, Ty Proctor and Kyle Bickley can have a RR ride. Two of them coming back from injury lay offs and another off form. Could be a painful evening for the Bandits. Would’ve been tough enough with a full 1-7

Can only see a Glasgow win. Not expecting any of the three injured riders back anytime soon. Guests have been hit and miss for the Bandits. Let’s hope there’s a couple of decent ones this time.

Waaay over your tiny head

On a track that size you’re always on the pace
