I believe that the higher score in the latest round would be the deciding factor so the ranking would be 13, 7, 1, 5.

Where did anybody say that any riders had been cleared by the BSPA?

Actually, and being pedantic, nothing is 'confirmed' until the signings have been ratified by BSP Ltd.

Jeez!! It's only a bloody list for information! 😦

Sandhu rewarded the Bees riders with the proceeds of an open meeting after winning the Elite League (not sure which year). Other promoters were horrified to think that the same might be expected from them in future.

jape noun a practical joke. "the childish jape of depositing a stink bomb in her locker" verb say or do something in jest or mockery.

The Stadium was not put 'on the market as a Sports facility' when the Bank forced the sale. I'm led to believe that there was also a bit of 'insider trading/dodgy dealing' shall we say before Brandon Estates got the Stadium.

I wonder if there will now be two 'Wild Card' slots available, or whether the Wild Card will get both meetings?

So sad. It was a great social weekend, but we could see the decline in attendances, particularly on the Friday night. Fortunately we had booked our Travelodge on Flexible rate, so have already cancelled and been told that we get a full refund. Can't fault Travelodge & PayPal. Refund back in my account already!! 😀

Surely "the best supporters in the league" (as is often claimed) would turn out in sufficient numbers to support the NDL to at least break even level. Or is it just about winning? As others have said, NDL racing can be as good a spectacle, and at times better, than all other levels.

Col Cottrell, the original 'armchair rider'.

I thought the same, and I know that it was that way in the past, but on making enquiries to the relevant persons, I got this reply:- "....if a British rider is lower with his discount than an overseas rider, the overseas rider will be number 1 until the first set of green sheets that the British rider gets a new average." I think this interpretation/rule change only came into effect in 2023, as has been pointed out by others recently.

Phil Morris is/was looking into getting an app developed.

So do Leicester, Belle Vue, Oxford, Sheffield etc.
