Hope got some signings in before Saturday :cry:

I saw it on the Ipswich twitter and he is hoping to be back for their playoffs. I think theirs starts end of Sept? Good job you made top 2, bit of extra time! They are not sure if he needs an op yet.

Think by my count leaves Connor and broc not injured or carrying knocks. We'll have play offs in November again ha

Starting to wonder if air fences are worth it. Seeing so many crashes riders going under it, hitting poles or whatevers behind it. 

Plenty of criticism of the Glasgow fence for a couple crashes during GP Final ,yet none with all the injuries in GB at various tracks with their so called safer Air Fences.There is an alarming amount of serious injuries in GB .IMO.

Need to get your fingers out and agree some jubilee cup dates as waiting for Ully and now Tom and Holme it could be season opener next year.

Don't think it's wise having such a gap in fixtures this time of year. Football seasons started, people get out the habit going every week and with the Glasgow autumn/ winter kicking in not going to help attendances

Not sure its the bikes but perhaps the levels of effort/desperation that is causing more incidents? Was a time when trackcraft coupled with speed and a half decent attitude was enough to earn and keep a team place, now its solely a results based business and points matter. 

There was a time when team riding or switching order to make a different attack on a rider ahead counted now theres just scrapping for the finishing position between "team mates". 

Im sure everyone can name half a dozen riders who they think are quick but often passengers on the bike and even if these are not directly involved in crashes they are forcing others to do the same.

It is even more amazing in that the season started later for most if not all clubs in April rather than late March & some clubs season will end 2nd week in September. Even Leicester have had a 3 week gap.

Maybe the fixture maker(I think a guy from Edinburgh) & the BSP Ltd/SCB can get their heads together & arrange the fixtures every 3 weeks with a 1 week gap of all leagues. This would allow fixtures to be rearranged during this week for rain offs, curtailed, postponed, cup meetings when dates available for every club. Poland do it every other week so it should be feasible.
