Triple.H.

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.

R.I.P.

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

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

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

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.

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

Maybe having a Polish World Champion is encouraging Poles who don't normally attend Speedway to go and take in a live meeting.

The Referee warning them for doing so, think it was a certain Mr Ebdon

My local Tesco superstore in Oxford stocks it.

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

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.

Get Ronnie P out of retirement and give him a Wildcard he makes his brother look like a Saint

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 ?

Said that to my mates in the pub

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.

1st of April

I think First is what you look for they own lots of bus and rail franchises

I wonder which promoter will be the first to delay the start of a meeting due to late arrival of the ice cream van.

Reasons ? Bearing in mind the facilities are designed for their normal attendances. I assume you're a Peterborough fan so mentioning grass banking would be an own goal.

Some cracking racing

Between Glasgow. Somerset or Scunthorpe I reckon and I'll plump for Scunthorpe to do the business.

They'll have the heating on by then so The Icicle Works may have a meltdown and postpone the gig.

Aha The British disease. So many young riders think they're World Champion Elect once they get a 4pt NL average and a sign written van and a piece of eyecandy on the arm. Then they seem with alarming regularity to take a break from the sport. Admittedly Robert Lambert is a bit of a different beast but in reality the place for partners and the vast majority of most parents and other associated hangers on is as far from the pits as possible. Let the rider and his team/mechanics concentrate on the job in hand.
