  1. Surely any sensible promotion would be sniffing around Josh Pickering. His career is on the up whereas you could easily argue Todd Kurtz and Ricky Wells have peaked. No offence to TK or RW. Winning titles is about getting a few riders who can put a bit on their average. Averaging 8 at home and 2-3 away isn't the kind of rider you want. One always comes in handy but too many and you get punished in away matches.
  2. Not allowed Bangers etc at Oxford. If Stadium does reopen Dogs will be running. The Greyhound racing fraternity have also played a major part in the fight to get the Stadium reopened.
  3. I've heard he has a decent and reasonably well known sponsor.
  4. Fairly sure there was something similar 15 - 20 years ago where ST holders got a couple of quid off entry or a free programme. But I think it was only when your team were riding there.. Just had an idea. Why don't the BSPA issue an annual photo ID for say £50. Which gives the holder a £1 reduction on entry to any track for any meeting except for shared events. All profits after admin fees to the Ben Fund.
  5. It's the hottest day of the year in Cardiff and the SGP Bandwagon has rolled into town, closely followed by a small army in various Wulfsport jackets. My mates and me often wonder how the wearers survive in the heat
  6. Everyday' s a schoolday Thankyou Mr Chips
  7. They've signed Tintin and Captain Haddock too
  8. There must be a clause about Australians with British Patriality who rode at what is in reality 3rd division level ( As the league has had so many names over the years ) and any reduction due.
  9. Didn't Len Silver keep an NL team running every season while Rye House rode at CL level ? He's a great believer in bringing through the youth and some of them developing and moving into the Clubs team racing at a higher level. It seems to work his riders stay loyal to him Also promotes the team ethic which so many of us moan about where riders change teams every season
  10. Did you miss out on your Geography lessons at school. Kings Lynn In the south ? You need a new pair of Clark's Commando's
  11. Probably can't ride as England in case the public mix us up with Georgia who may well, but are highly unlikely too, have a larger talent pool to pick from
  12. Like I've said before GP Challenge day after the final GP at the same track Or even the following Saturday. I'm sure plenty of tracks would love to run it Bottom 8 GP riders plus 8 challengers. Nobody is in the comfort zone of knowing with 4-5 rounds to go that they're already in for next season.
  13. With the benefit of hindsight I would willingly pay twice the entrance fee at just about any track just to see Les Collins even on an average day by his usual standards. As long as he missed the gate of course
  14. Maybe having a Polish World Champion is encouraging Poles who don't normally attend Speedway to go and take in a live meeting.
  15. The Referee warning them for doing so, think it was a certain Mr Ebdon
  16. My local Tesco superstore in Oxford stocks it.
  17. Maybe Cooke' s appalling fine was based as a percentage of the appalling pay rate offered by the promoters of the sport for riding in a National Event
  18. But due to his current circumstances, which could change for better or worst fairly quickly. Surely they should give him a date to declare that he will take his place so if he cannot commit to a full season another rider can be called in for a permanent slot.
  19. Get Ronnie P out of retirement and give him a Wildcard he makes his brother look like a Saint
  20. I think a lot of them who are only going to do Poland and GPs may start looking for another gig when they find their race sharpness isn't quite upto scratch. You can do lap after lap in practice and be fitter than a butcher's dog, but it's not racing and racing is what keeps you switched on. As for TW it's a bit presumptuous to drop Sweden when he's not even guaranteed a GP spot next year. I know it's a high probability and there would probably be uproar, but what would he do if he didn't get one ?
  21. Why doesn't a promotor phone Berwick and say can we hire your track covers. I know it would mean a bit of forward thinking but stranger things have happened. Admittedly it wouldn't have helped tonight, but if rain was forecast in the days leading upto the meeting and day of meeting was forecast to be dry they could help getting it on.
