Away for Oxford imo. Trouble getting guests? I'm assuming Jack is r/r as on Oxford site says he has swelling and is r/r this week.

I've referred to this on another topic.

How long before a rider has ridden for every Club in the CL in this season or even on CL and PL.

It must be the case that Heat Leaders on 7-8 point averages are probably by now so fatigued by the miles travelled and laps done that they and their bikes are in no fit state to take every booking offered. Unlike past years most have probably not set foot outside the UK either.

PL Monday and Thursday, CL team probabaly oe home and one away per week and guest bookings on nights/days off, 6 days a week for sure (now no Newcastle) but 7 days a week when any other team picks a Sunday. 

The more extreme places geographically are going to be the first to suffer in terms of getting Guests and same for Away Teams travelling there.

I’m Plymouth through and through and have zero inside knowledge but if I didn’t have a season ticket and saw that team would I be encouraged to part with my cash I’m not sure I would and I can’t believe I’m saying that 3 reserves in the team Heeps must be rubbing his hands.lets hope I’m wrong and by 9.30 I’m eating humble pie.

Anybody who attends the sport for anything other than to see a good nights entertainment and decent racing is living in a fantasy  world.Results mean nothing in GB speedway.IMO

Roynon is included as a free preactice ahead of Centurions meetings, not sure if Wrights average would fit at 1 (possibility) , Coles has to be a step up on McGurk and could be viewed for a change or next season option? 

Its not always madness behind decisions even if it looks like them. 

Anyone know the actual riding order? Guess RR at 2 , Bowtell & Roynon at 3&4 , with Wright at 5?

In fairness I think most people could work out why Roynon is guesting, I think the issue is they've got him guesting for their top 3. Which is madness.

How much longer are they going to get away with the Kennett thing? All season I guess.

August averages are out today with Kennett and Barker having identical 8.40 averages.

Hans on 7.78 and MPT staying on 7.15

Can see them struggling for guests certainly from play off contenders,why help Plymouth when it would put their own teams out of the play offs unless it suits them for example Poole riders guesting at home against glasgow.

Well yes you have a point there. There still is Plymouth vs Glasgow and Poole could do with Plymouth winning to get 2nd! But during playoffs Plymouth can only use guests from 7th- 10th places teams.
