Triple.H.

I read last week that Garry May said that Somerset were interested in running the meeting if allowed. The management will probably decide on Scunthorpe due to its close proximity to Cardiff

It's actually Ellis Edam the big cheese in Dutch speedway who's signed

I hope he does very well as he certainly has the talent, my point though about him was meant more as a generalisation that riders who constantly need a break etc are always a gamble as they can leave the team in the lurch, Though plenty of teams are far to quick to drop an under performing rider

Did Justin Elkins complete a meeting without an EF ?

Never trust a talent however good they are if they are stuck in the mindset of retirement/break/comeback from the sport as they'll always let you down

To be fair to him, discounting 2020 he hasn't ridden a lot in the preceding few seasons due to injury, so maybe rightly or wrongly this was taken into account for Rising Star status.

I reckon your full name is Bob Costa Mesa

Maybe you should contact Justin Tomlinson MP he is the minister for disabilities,

If the individual GP type series goes ahead i'd like the IOW and Mildenhall promotions to be asked if they would like to run a round each.

I'd agree, looked to me that LT was trying to leave room to race, back end went round a bit to far, due to rider error or a patchy track

I thought the number 7 had to be British so how can King's Lynn sign a native American

Someone should run a free training school for Deliveroo moped riders. If they ride in the rest of the country like they do in Oxford there's a fair few entertaining fence scrapers out there I daresay there could be a chance of a young rider possibly getting some Sponsorship from them. A nice photoshopped picture of a rider going full tilt around a bend photoshopped so his racesuit and bike covers had Deliveroo branding and colourscheme with a topbox on the rear mudguard. Throw in a nice snappy slogan about fast food delivered faster, the countries the rider could potentially be visible in. They can only say No but they might say yes. Even if it was only a couple of grand its better than a kick in the proverbials.

Man up, show her who wears the trousers, oh she already has them on

You would also need the patience of a Saint and an extra thick Scrum Cap as I think you'd find yourself banging your head against a wall on a daily basis.

James, you have hit the nail firmly on the head, IMO someone like yourself would be an ideal person to oversee the sport in this country and bring the promoters into line. Though when you did your presentation and mention your background in the sport Fan Sponsor Former Promoter and Team manager Successful businessman, and the amount of market research of supporters from all over the place that you have carried out over the years. I still think they would find some obscure reason to say you were unsuitable for the role

Only problem i can see is that lower level riders need to test them selves against higher opposition, so maybe 1 race per rider against the next grading up

The stadium is probably the best looking building in Port Talbot and its still in its box

How old is Clarke Osborne ? i remember him from the time he was trying to close Oxford, so i assume he must be in his 70s

Really enjoyed my visits to Rye House over the years from sunny sundays in the NNL, to King Cinder, then after Oxford closing going 4 or 5 times a year dependent on opposition, football and gigs

Never a problem for the Swindon riders as always in the shade created by the Cheetahs/Rebels in front

Yes all riders came out and rode around to be introduced and then did a flying lap, i remember Andreas Jonsson doing a particularly fast time. I bet Lucifer Sam could tell us all the times etc

Ah you may be correct Steve, my memory isn't what it was either, i'm probably getting confused with the flying parade lap that Steve Purchase had going for a while

When Steve Purchase took over Oxford we had proper old fashioned rider of the night 2nd halVES for a few weeks, until the powers that be said NO

Re straight back to the start, i saw a video from i think Industry in California, 5 riders 1 lap dash, last rider eliminated, The 4 remaining riders straight round to the start where it continued until 2 left. Winner of the 1 lap dash matchrace picked up $100. Proves you can get riders to go straight back to the start, Also i reckon a nice way to get some easy sponsorship for a 2nd half event, bet theres a lot of one man band operations out there who would think £100 for a bit of advertising in a different way was good value
