Well I thought it was a mistake not using a guest for Josh Auty but you can't argue with the perfect display from Birks. I was surprised how poor Workington were, I expected more Hansen and Bach. I think the slicker track actually suited Scunny riders. Do Glasgow have priority over Lawson?

Could use Ben Barker now the Berwick meeting is off.

Stead and Allen not included due to injury but Peterborough still qualify with their next 3 riders.

I think I would prefer a guest for Auty, could of got someone like Josh Grajczoneck.

I have watched a lot of meetings at Scunny and I would say generally the best racing occurs from about heat 3 to about heat 12, towards the end of the meeting the dirt line does get a bit wide IMO. I also think at the end of meetings there are a higher proportion of first bend crashes as riders race to get to the dirt line. Dragging the dirt back a little might mean a longer a grading break but it could improve the racing and safety. I do think Scunny is the best race track in the country and a relatively safe one at that but there is always room for improvement. I hope Rob isn't tearing his hair out with the way this season is going, seems like everything is going wrong.

The abuse the officials will get when a rider gets badly injured in heat 10 in these situations.

Is safety paramount or is getting a result? It somehow or always gets too dangerous right after heat 10.

effective from the 1st of July, we will know what the averages are about the 20th June.

In previous years its been the cumulative total of the top 3 riders of each team that count towards qualification. 10 teams qualify and 3 miss out. I assume the averages used will be those effective from 01/07/15, released later this month. Not sure about Simon Stead's average, I doubt it will be used.

I didn't know you could use a guest that long, I assumed there was a time limit.

How long can Sheffield use a guest for Simon Stead.

Do attendances go up if a speedway team moves up a league, in my experience they don't but interesting to hear what others think.

Starke's performance came as no surprise he was excellent last time he came to the EWR, he loves to ride the outside line.

The embarrassing team also took a point at Berwick.

I agree but that will be the team on Monday and the averages will be.... Auty................................at 8.09 Pijper..............................at 7.45 Douglas..........................at 6.73 Davies............................at 6.35 Wilko..............................at 5.64 Wilson............................at 4.92 Lunna.............................at 3.00 Total 42.18 Auty is out for six weeks so I guess it will be guests until he's back. Limited options on Monday though, Kevin Wolbert maybe?

Which riders can take THJ rides?

I agree about turn 4, another panel of air fence maybe.

Why is Davies on a 20 match rolling average with 2013 matches included in his average? Seems speedway rules change daily.

Is it perks or Williamson riding?

Why does Emil compete in this qualifier but not the rest of the competition.

I am guessing this will be a temporary change, untill Luna gets his new average.

Some regulars are keeping quite about this I reckon there is something in it. Does Nike get a new average when he has completed 4 home and away? If so Scunny will have plenty of points to play with come Tuesday. Todd Kurtz maybe?

Does Davies average stay at 4.17 right throughout May or does it constantly get updated as he does more meetings.

can they do tactical substitutions in this competition?

thanks
