Eddie also missing, riding for Lakeside at Coventry but I don't know why. As far as I can see Plymouth v Rye House is not a re-arranged fixture.

This fixture was arranged last January. KK's qualifying round for the Euro finals did not take place until May.

If you are recording tonight's match via Sky and have set 'series record' check that it has worked. I did and it recorded both events one and two plus the play-off but I have had to re-set record again for the final.

The Hammers have hammered them twice, 56-34 and 66-26.

Check from 15.35 then decide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksrvkiDhu6I

I've just looked at the preview on Swindon's website and was amazed that RR has been allocated to Tungate meaning only Morris and reserves can take his rides. Surely it would have made more sense to have RR for Grajczonek and Bjarne as the guest for Tungate. However, the ruling on this is a little obscure: 17.6 FACILITIES a Absent Rider (1-3) G or ARR b Absent Rider (4 or 5) ARR only c Absent Riders (both 4 and 5) ARR and G d Absent #6 (if an EDR) G (EDR* only) e Absent #6 (if not an EDR) G f) Absent #7 G (EDR* only) g “No Facility” for Absent 1-5 PL G (PL MA of 6.00 or less) This seems to imply that you are forced to use a guest for a missing 1-3 if just one 4-5 is absent.

The ruling was amended after the 2016 regs. were published as follows. Tier 1 EDRs who are missing can be replaced by any rider on the EDR List that is below them or any PL British Rider that has a lower PL Average than the missing rider,apart from any PL rider that is declared in an EL 1-5

Pretty sure we have never signed Bradley but we have made Zach Wajknecht an asset. In the meantime you are riding against Workington this Friday, the same day as Swindon visit Lakeside in a re-arranged fixture. Do I assume they will arrive at the Arena-Essex raceway without Josh, Rohan and Charles?

Having two other EL matches on Friday there was only King's Lynn and Swindon from which to chose. Robert Lambert was riding for Newcastle which left just Troy Batchelor and Nick Morris as alternatives.

Kim's average is minutely higher by the third decimal point meaning AJ is ineligible.

Surprised there is no thread yet. Lakeside hope to have Kennett back whilst use RR for Lawson who is on PL duty. Similarly, Wolves use RR for Masters and guest, Schlein, for the injured Kylmakorpi. Preview on Hammers website: http://www.lakesidehammers.co/hammers-v-wolves-meeting-preview/

According to the European Speedway Calendar the Polish (NICE) division 1 has a full racing programme on Wednesday which, on the face of it, rules out Andersen, Pedersen and Kurtz for Poole. Possibly this was the reason for the original fixture having been scheduled for today. http://speedwayekstraliga.pl/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/2016-Approved-International-Speedway-League-Calendar-24.02.2016.pdf

Match preview for the re-staging tomorrow on Hammers website. Craig Cook comes in for AJ and RR for Nilsson. http://www.lakesidehammers.co/robinsvhammers/

I'm not even sure about that. Both Somerset and Plymouth have reserved dates for play-offs. Somerset are sure to be in them so might a revitalised Plymouth.

In normal circumstances you may well be correct but bear in mind this is a re-arranged fixture, those at Somerset and Plymouth are not so they still get priority unless they can come to some sort of agreement.

Still using your 2015 calendar eh! Which riders do Swindon have first call on, Grajczonek, Tungate or Wright. Also, remember Plymouth are riding as well. Where does that leave Nielsen?

Track flooded following a heavy downpour about half-hour ago. New date 22nd July.

Incorrect. Watt's average is 5.40, Tungate 5.65. so no problem coming in as a direct replacement.

Thanks.

I know that Rybnik are riding against Wroclaw on Thursday 7th July but who are the opponents next Thursday as I cannot find a fixture on any list I have been able to locate?

Double disappointment Bryn!

Lakeside will be without Kim Nilsson - Sweden but I am not sure about Ed Kennett. Rye are at Sheffield on Thursday but it is a re-arranged fixture.

Tai will have to be at the top of his game. Being drawn at 4 means two gate 4's, one gate three where he meets Holder and Hancock who will be off the inside starts, then one inside and a gate two

In 2010 a meeting was brought forward to 2pm on a Saturday to avoid a World Cup clash, England v USA. By strange coincidence the opponents were Newcastle.

It's the same situation for Belle Vue. Fricke is 4th in the averages meaning only Cook, Richie Worrall and reserves can take his. I expect it to be a busy evening for both Steve Worrall and Lewis Bridger.
