Team Man

Just lately I seem to see more wobblers and fallers watching tired out riders in the Elite League

Are you going to stipulate that a rider can only ride in a team within a certain distance of his home otherwise there won't be much savings to the riders costs.

The Danes could float through if they tackle the track properly and don't make a gaff

SCB Rule 4.4.1 A mandatory ban on the use, from 15 minutes before Heat 1 until the end of the Official Meeting of all Mobile telephones, iPads, Laptops, Tablets etc. and other external communication equipment within the Pits/Paddock area and the Referee / Announcer room.The exceptions are:the recording of Heat/Meeting Results,the playing of music via the Stadium PA system,approvedlive broadcasts or to summon the Emergency Services

I'm surprised if Neil Middleditch tweeted that, he should know the rules by now SCB Rule 4.2 BANNED SUBSTANCES (ALCOHOL, DOPING & DRUGS) Riders and Officials are forbidden to use or to suffer from the effects of using alcohol, drugs or any doping product and testing may be carried out at any Meeting or Training Session.

Slowing down to try and get your partner through to join you is one way of making it a bit more watch-able, with a lot of riders I'm afraid as soon as they hit the front they are gone, If you have the experience to get your partner through and sit behind him, let him win, you get the same points on your pay packet. The sharing of riders is a killer, but it's a case that there aren't enough Speedway riders for the amount of clubs in this country, we desperately need to bring on more new riders but with little or no 2nd halfs being run at tracks there is little chance of new blood coming through.

It's now at last listed for Saturday on Quest. http://www.questtv.co.uk/tv-listings/?type=day&channel_code=QUUK-ENG&filter=1200&date=14062014

Have retuned, thank you, I can now watch from 7pm onwards if I can't make it for 6 Strange, the TV guide doesn't list Quest+1 yet.

That add says it can be found on channel 37 on freeview, on my TV's Quest is channel 38, do they mean it's on channel 37 or do they mean it's on Quest. I'm sure all will become clear on the night.

What set up for a track for one rider doesn't always work for another so sharing setups is not always productive.

Print yourself a programme from here and fill it in as you go, it's like being at the track http://www.speedwayscorecards.net/

Yes, they are so good it's almost like being there watching it.

I've been using that page for the last couple of years and then list it on a post it reminder that comes up on my screen when I switch my PC on. Just to remind you that "Best Pairs Cup" round 1 from Poland is on Eurosport tomorrow evening at 6pm

Who's Steve Shovlar ????

Thank you Neil.

Can anyone point me to where it confirms that the new race night will be Tuesdays.

Has an official announcement been made for running on Tuesday.

"Peterborough Licence up for grabs". another wonderful opportunity for all you people who know how Speedway should be run to take it on now, you can apply for whatever League you think it would do best at.

Speedway is 2 years older than me, will it reach it's Centenary, it's got 15 years to achieve that, will I out live it, or will I go before it does........Sobering thought.

It's very difficult to decide what is fiddling and what is team management then, You would rather see a rider take his allotted rides all night and not have an in form reserve take his place then, because that is a team manager fiddling the rides to suit.

Thinking like that you might just as well stop riders making changes to their bike after their first ride, I agree of dropping the Double points ride that is a terrible rule But gate positions is surely a different matter, after all a team wins a toss to choose gate positions to start a meeting, should that be abandoned as a form of fiddling.

I don't know what was wrong with the old, "if a team is 6 or more points behind they have choice of gate positions", as Team manager I used that many a time, it does give you an edge if you concentrate on how the gates are behaving and knowing how your rider gates and rides, but nothing is foolproof.

Looking at the points Pedersen and Woffinden are on, If Tai were to ride I think Pedersen would take full advantage of Tai being vulnerable. Or am I being a bit harsh.

Hayley just told Roy he reminded her of Dirk Bogarde in Once a Jolly Swagman, she said it was a film about Speedway.
