Yeah it's 260m which is the minimum length for an FIM track... seems a bit of a cheat though as it'll only be 260m for one lap...

Plymouth are putting up a hell of a fight here with half a team

Eh? Surely it’s calculated that the amount extra 5 yards on the final lap or whatever it is takes it to 260?

Struggled to a win. Kye was excellent tonight though and has really added a good aggressive side to his racing. 
 

We’re not going to trouble anyone in the play-offs sadly. What’s the guesting rules for the play-offs? Can it only be a rider from a team not involved? Paging Bomber.

Depends what the "actual" length of the track is... i mean Plymouth could be FIM length if they rode over 5 laps lol

No, never have been, nearly went to the Ace of Aces once, but they're few and far between these days. 

Seriously though, do you know the reason?

At Wimbledon it was something to do with distance to first turn I think. 

Not sure Edinburgh only been there twice. May be to line it with refs box maybe? 

Pretty much every grass track has start line in a chute to protect actual track.

Maybe the Plymouth supporters who doubted Leon, will enjoy their humble pie.

2nd year running Leon scores 13pts and helps the Gladiators get a point

Based on his scores this season (and last) I'd argue that's not the case at all.

Did I say anything about our previous guests? I simply said Flint will be a poor guest at number 1, take your Berwick hat off and see it for what it is, a rider nearly two points below the average we have to play with who has never scored well at Armadale at this level is a poor choice of guest. 

Suggest you do some research and have your facts straight. We agreed to sign a replacement a while back but it was blocked...We've played within the rules, crap rules, I'll give you that.

He did OK.

Can't be doing harry McGurk much good getting rows of duck eggs each meeting .

At least got NL to bounce back onto. Not much anyone can do when only like for like changes. Unless Plymouth want to change him for Connor Coles? Might help if going to Leicester in playoffs although realistically is he going to beat Clegg or Joe Thompson?

Er Yes he already has, as recently as 24 July when he beat them BOTH

Poor guest choice at number 1 given Flint doesn't appear to have ever gone very well at Armadale, get the impression we aren't bothered by this fixture even though it's likely that this will be a rehearsal of the playoffs as I fancy the two teams will finish 4th and 5th.

Poor choice???.

Can’t see it. I’d rather he took the time and didn’t rush back and do himself more damage to be honest. Even with him back we’re not winning the league. 

Sam plans to be back next month. He’s had his shoulder plated.

I do not think torpointfanatic22 is a Plymouth fan . All his posts knock Plymouth, apparently doesn’t even live in the south west or attend the racetrack . Just another know all keyboard warrior or princess .

Seems to the case for Bickley too these days.

Bickley came along way in a short time, sadly for him he has went virtually nowhere over the last two or three season, he has been a Championship reserve and no more. IMO he needs a re-think over the winter as there is something wrong somewhere.
