  1. Was hoping that No7 would be Brit with an ave of between 3 and 4.5 who would remain in that as a fixed position, then 38 points for your remaining 6 riders
  2. Got to agree with you on consortiums, they rarely work, too many Indians not enough Chiefs comes to mind,, You need one person in charge to make decisions. Not a bad idea to listen to as many fans as possible, and cherry pick the good ideas, but only have one person to make the decisions.
  3. I like the idea in Poland, where a rider stays at No 7 until he passes 21 yrs, irrespective of his average. I suppose it's the luck of the draw if you get a good rider.
  4. Would be nice to see an under 21 British rider at No7 with an average ratio of between 3 ave and 5 ave, fixed at No7 for the season, then 38 points to assemble the other 6 riders.
  5. The way speedway has deteriorated, perhaps one big league is the answer, and not a north /south split either. Not much difference between EL and PL nowadays, it would enable a meeting every week, without any meaningless Knock out cups etc..
  6. Got the impression TJ would be at Berwick, listening to what he said on Sat, hope so anyway
  7. Two half coconuts, from the outback. The other half of Crescent Girl is in UK though. With new ownership, no need for Crescent Girl anymore, well hope not anyway.
  8. You ran you are still running in 2017, be grateful, many clubs may not be
  9. you will have me wearing a skirt next and putting a dagger in my socks.
  10. Behave, we have enough problem with a Berwick fan who keeps shouting cum on the Bandits
  11. Appears so, even the directors offices have been vacated.
  12. Had away, cloak and dagger. I agree most people close to speedway are aware of the situation. If I put on here what is happening, the 'Brown Nosers' would be beside themselves.
  13. New track, but kicked out for not paying the rent
  14. I don't think any rider should be able to double up, period.
  15. Surely, you can wait until ,THE BIG BASH', on Saturday night. A worthy event, with a worthy announcement.
  16. Its not just over there at the home of The Comics, it's a general decline across speedway. Speedway has lost it's mojo, the general fan base is an older declining fan base, in general still living in the past. Speedway needs a massive make over, rules need to be taken out of the hands of self interested speedway promoters and drastically simplified, they are no longer fit for purpose. It reminds me of the UK education system, every Government messes it about, its now looking at Grammar schools and Faith Schools, which were at the route of failure in education. Speedway needs to completely re structure starting from a zero point.
