Sorry, my typo regarding the time, just knew it was earlier than most others.

Agreed with the even earlier start times.

Hopefully the U21 Event will also be a 4pm start, thus enabling a reasonable time to start the journey home.

Really depressing news! When I was the Coventry correspondent for the Speedway Mail, Colin was always very amenable to the 'Press Gang' as he named us. He traveled (cadged a lift) with myself and Wayne Roberts to a few Bees away matches and often had us in stitches, or awe, with his outrageous (but true) tales of his life as a rider. We always had to stop on the way to Eastbourne at a certain spot for an ice cream. A really great loss to our sport in general. RIP Pratty.

I think that around 40,000 people might hold a different opinion regarding Cardiff!

As far as I am aware, Dan's illness is not a Covid issue.

But, do the Leicester riders want to finish second? 3rd - 6th placed teams have 2 Play Off meetings guaranteed, with the chance of a further 2 meetings. 1st & 2nd have only 2 Play Off meetings.

And how do you think the "pools panel" would have scored the Panthers v Tigers score last night?

You can have R/R for an 'ill' rider but he is then unable to ride for 7 days.

Perhaps I am a bit of a cynic regarding Poole (Me? a cynic regarding Poole shenanigans in the past? Never ) but, maybe Poole thought that he may not get around the Leicester circuit without a few falls, and declared him ill. And later discovered that he'd had a fall in Denmark, which was a more acceptable reason for absence?

Needs to double up to make things pay?

Rory Schlein according to the Leicester match preview.

Anyone can run on any night, but Premiership teams have first dibs on a doubling up/down rider on Mondays and Thursdays.

Current GSA's could change if the rumours of the sad demise of Eastbourne turn out to be true. I believe that all Eastbourne matches would be expunged from the records with Eastbourne riders reverting to their 2021 starting average. So any team that has raced against Eastbourne would therefore probably have their averages re-calculated too.

They didn't have their 'own agenda' they wanted to be World Champion, and the only way they could achieve that was by joining the GP Circuit. So you think that the likes of Hans Nielsen, Leigh Adams, Jan O Pedersen, Erik Gundersen etc. etc. should have said don't want to be World Champion, I want to ride for my British club on a Saturday.

3.4.......... The U21 Rider must race in a minimum of 1 heat in each meeting. Final day 1 and Final day 2 will be classed as 2 meetings. If the U21 Rider is not nominated before the country’s last programmed heats 2 minute warning, he will automatically be required to replace the rider in Red or White. Ooops! you are talking about the U21 not SoN. No mention of a compulsory ride in the U21 Team Final.

Correct, according to the latest FIM TRA's.

Hey R & R, regarding the topic title, you do know that we aren't supposed to mention that it's in the pariah state, R*****a! People might have thought that Togliatti was in Italy!

Neither Poland nor Sweden used to ride on a Saturday, whereas Britain had the virtual backbone of their League(s), Coventry, Cradley, Eastbourne, Swindon, Bradford, King's Lynn to name a few, who had to lose their traditional (and most lucrative) race night.

Should change his name to Max Mosely Fan!

1 hour 30 minutes to do 92 miles! That's going some considering the time it must take to get out of central London!

Damn! Beat me to it!

You mean similar to how Coventry legally had Pawlicki at reserve in 2010 Play Off Final? Look how much you (and Matt Ford) complained about that!

Medal & Prize money for 1st place. Both had identical scores, Pawel beat Max when they met in heat 12, so would have been 1st anyway! Kolodziej had 3 heat wins Smolinski 2. (All stats compiled using KanDysoft spreadsheet!)
