I like your confidence. Wish I shared it!

Hmm, Ippo got 41 in the first staging and I have to believe that Riss/Edwards will score more than the four produced in that fixture by Barker/Joe Thompson. Against that, Craig Cook was in for the injured Becker and scored four; one would expect the American to improve on that. Wolves' recent home form is pretty patchy -- their last five Monmore matches have included a four-point win and two 'victories' via super heat in fixtures where they had the better of the luck that was going. This could be extremely tight.

True, but probably why they were signed in the first place! Adams has always been strong on detail. He showed me his planned R/R rides at Coventry once and mentioned that he liked to avoid giving riders consecutive heats where possible. The trap thus baited, I duly plunged in and pointed out two on the trot late in the meeting for Adam Skornicki only to be told triumphantly "Coventry always have their interval between those races." Perhaps slightly off-topic, I always felt that at GB level Rob Lyon had the bigger picture at a time when those running the sport had not. He was way ahead of the curve and would have thrived under the current, more progressive set-up. In terms of success, I must note that Tony Jackson signed off Workington's tenure with the second-tier treble!!

It's suddenly dawned on our commentary team that there was something riding on heat 19 after all for Richard Lawson...

Classic. I couldn’t believe it!

Certainly nobody else did! But I suspect that with Woffinden level, thus leaving Zmarzlik with nowhere to go, it was easy for the ref to calm all four.

Tatum's lack of mathematical competence appears to grow with every GP.

I had a quick count through there and made it 28 wins/paid wins from 48 rides in the top flight, on an away track. Extraordinary scoring for someone currently fifth in his club's averages.

He'll go twice in the nominated heats, I guess.

Shame Cumbria isn't a country. Four rides from Workington 2018 personnel, 11 points....

All four back. Good grief.

Just a thought. For the last five or six years (I didn't check back further), we seem to have had one of the play-off semi-final first legs in late September with the other five fixtures in October. This season, September appears to have been block booked for the semis (with no two semi-final legs on the same date), presumably with a view to (theoretically) better weather and more extensive TV coverage. All very sensible, but is rhe other side of the coin fewer dates for regular fixtures and less room to manoeuvre regarding rain-offs, etc?

Peter Adams: "He needs to take his family out of the UK to comply with visa requirements involving his partner."

They get a facility for Masters, who has to take his family out of the UK for visa purposes, and Schlein who is injured. Replacements for the other two are only up to three-quarters of their average.

Those guests cannot have an average more than three-quarters that of the riders they are replacing. Edited for clarity.

Perhaps more accurate to say that all clubs have a minority of fans who do it?

Exactly. Every Foxhall match this season where King has been paid for double figures, Ipswich have won. Every match (bar one) where he’s been below that mark, they’ve lost. He is absolutely the pivot of the side.

Merely jesting!

Just off to tell Mrs Fourentee that our Discovery+ subscription is, essentially free as it's a monthly cost within the household budget. If, as I rather expect, this line of reasoning runs into choppy waters then I'll refer her to you. Cheers, appreciated!

Many thanks.

Do you have the gist, please, for non-Facebook users? Thanks in advance.

Need, even!

Well, he saw the race in real time, then the replay and still didn't know who was third. Don't been official confirmation for that.

Still casting doubt on the result after the replay!
