17 home meetings max if you have an outstanding season, so starting on April 27th and allowing blank Saturdays for British Final,SON, Cardiff, and the weather behaving Sept 14th finish. 

A lot of teams like to ride on the Easter bank holiday weekend though, do think it dictates when season starts. Poole are riding every week in summer hols btw, so it can be done;)

Diluting the product certainly doesn’t attract bigger Attendances.They don’t seem to worry about that though.

3 or 4 teams at the top of the league smashing the others home and away doesn't help attendances either. There needs to be the right balance or there is no point having a points limit at all.

If most heat leaders were pushed out then why did none of them sign for Plymouth?

Exaggerating a bit it’s only Poole that are winning everything.Fans turn up to see good Teams. IMO.

The points limit(whatever it is) should provide the right balance is that not one of the points of it.

Can't see the relevance as they are two entirely different offences

Berwick had to run with 1 rider (possibly against Plymouth) when committing 2 offences.

Also at Glasgow when committing 2 offences so possibly the same.

I'm still perplexed regarding Killeen being excluded for leaving the track - his bike did not conform to regulations as he'd broken his front mudguard.  Was he supposed to come to tapes with it like that only to be excluded for having a defective machine?  (It isn't compulsory to have a mechanic, so he may have needed to do the repairs himself).

Didn't someone have the same issue at Worky Vs Poole maybe McGurk? And they just tried to kick into back into place and ref didn't exclude them for it even though it wasn't quite right. 

Sure on the podcast it said Luke's brother is over from from beginning of August to help him for a month, but maybe not in time for this meeting? Think he said he was over from 3rd or 4th.

That was sams dirt deflector. He flipped the bike doing a practice start and they tried to get it in the right place but obviously against the 2 minute clock at that point.

All it needed was a competent team manager to remind the ref of the rules, referring him to the relevant section if needed.

... ah I think I see Oxford's problem.
