The Averages are prepared (with Newcastle results removed) and will be published after being ratified at the AGM, as is the normal procedure.

Buoyed by the good news regarding the failed planning proposal there was a great turn-out at the NSSC last night to see ex-Bee Martin Smolinski. Very interesting talk about his recovery from the severe hip injuries and his future plans. He also pledged to compete in the Brandon re-opening meeting for no payment! The Save Coventry Stadium committee were roundly applauded for their efforts and vowed to challenge any potential appeal from Brandon Estates with as much vigour as they had in opposing the previous attempts to build housing on the land. Nice emotional speech from Tony Gillias too.

Was also good to see that there was no actual motion put forward to accept the Planning Officer's recommendation, just the motion to refuse.

Brandon Estates due in court shortly for failing to protect the site from incursions!

Well done the Save Coventry Stadium committee! Their long-term fight and tactics and planning nous has been brilliant!

Maybe a points restriction to force a share out the Heat Leaders? (e.g. max 2 riders over 'x' points?)

Congratulations to Poole, peaking at the right time, and deserved Play Off winners. Must say I was so impressed by the new track lighting at King's Lynn. Wow! Light racing in daylight.

Two Finals at the price of one CL meeting is pretty good VFM is it not?

There you have it. Shovvy's ready-made excuse if the Lions win on aggregate! "Not fair! We would have won if it had been at Leicester!" Not going to Rome this year Steve?

But (some) Poole fans want to win it after just one Play Off leg!

To return the question to you, where/what is the rule that the referee did not follow. And if there was a part that he did not follow, why did the Team managers not point that out to him?

As I said, the Referee followed the rules, as they stood at the time, to the letter!

NDL match is a 'freebie'. Normal Championship prices gets you both meetings.

You can check out the Rule book yourself on the SCB Website, to see that the Referee complied with them to the letter!

So the 'first leg' team just keeps delaying their match until it is impossible to fit in the 2nd leg?

The League WAS settled! Leicester topped the League.

Agreed! if there is no second leg, the League Table should take precedence!

Never mind the tractor.. what about the bomb crater!

Premiership Pairs is at Leicester on Tuesday 25th.

That is local compared to Leicester - Glasgow, Leicester - Plymouth!

That's why I posted the regulation!

011.1.6 Starting Offence The following are deemed to be starting offences: - a) failure to meet the 2 minute time allowance b) not obeying the Start Marshals instructions c) when a rider’s motorcycle or any part of their body or equipment touches or breaks the starting tapes whilst the green starting light is on or prevents the raising of the start gate d) returning to the pits, as detailed above under 011.1.3 e) delaying the start in any other manner, or who prevents the starting gate from being released properly

So, you were not at the meeting and you don't believe the Referee, who was directly in line with the finish line?

Yes! Check the Referees scorecard!

I believe that Artem Laguta won his SGP Title using Peter Ravn's belt drive clutch
