Neutral venue would be nice, but difficult with all the double-upping.

Sounds like a follower of the Pacific Shelf 595 outfit.

Lincoln is fine as is Spalding.

Are the Circus guys out of hospital yet?

Richard.

Any EL's still need a lanky reserve?

The so called spirit of most rules in speedway is a sick joke. I doubt there is a club in the country that doesn't or hasn't tried to find a way round them. And the averages system particularly regarding assessed averages just encourages it.

At least we don't have dyson.

Glad to see the page count is still clocking up nicely. Keep it going lads. Closing in on top place. Is there a trophy? Nice that we had the civic reception from Edinburgh Council. http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/speedway/tigers-feud-could-see-monarchs-open-season-against-belle-vue-1-4020359 Just a shame that there still seems to be an east/west feud on the go. Still B Vue would be a nice opener.

23 matches - sub 3 points average.

Where is that defined?

Ahhh - so he/she did!!! I knew my eyesight was failing - seems it's my brain too. Oh well. (Thanks for pointing it out politely!!)

I thought I saw the lamp man going round with his pole lighting them one evening but the light wasn't good enough to be sure.

Errr - last year we were only able to keep 3 from the previous season!! (Lost Max Fricke, Stevie Worrall, Deek Sneddon & Aaron Fox.) At least this season they've let us keep 4.

So they are still gas lamps?

I agree it's poor elsewhere too but I find it's made that bit worse at Ippo because you have the car track which pushes you back from the action more. Probably just my failing eyesight though!

Reading Gregor Fisher's autobiography at the moment - but I can do that thanks to my superior Scottish (East Coast) education. Interesting (and troubled) childhood he had.

Some track lighting would be good too.

See you Jimmy - you talkin tae me?

Lambert has a contract with Peterborough. Maybe he didn't get any other EL offer? Feel free to argue with me on the Edinburgh thread if you want to discuss Edinburgh's possible attempt to sign a rider when he gets a UK passport as required by the new rules.

Sorry you're losing your beauty sleep Gazc.......

Getting scared jengers old boy?

So rider of the year and frequent match winner Simon should be kicked on to the PL scrapheap despite having a PL contract for 2016? Nice.

Yay - no-one loves us. Should do wonders for team spirit again.

Errrrr - Mitchell is only 25! Some others are way older.
