Every country may have a past, but the Russia situation is currently a present. That's the big difference.

Indeed, which is exactly my point. I didn't claim the British Empire doesn't have a dark history. I'm simply pointing out that to say the Russian history doesn't compare - like our slightly mad forum member is trying to do - is completely absurd. He was trying to compare the Russian-Ukraine situation to British history, while completely glossing over the Russian history. Look back at the thread.

The bigger issue is given Northampton was on the leftovers this year if two more teams come up and we can't get 5-7 other top liners back over what happens then ? this is also assuming Jack Holder recovers from what looks like a really bad injury if he doesn't then another top liner is needed to replace him also.

No reason to fleece loyal fans who've been going all season though. This is something which has always irritated me.

I’d suggest that you do need some form of  needle to get the atmosphere going. Currently there is little atmosphere at any uk speedway stadium unless you get a large crowd in for the big meetings. I’m very happy to have Coleman leading Ipswich & hopefully he’ll turn the fortunes of uk speedway around.

Cos you said your all loaded down south, we are poor oop north 😄  every heard the saying how much 😲
