erm...Belle Vue Colts. (That was who you asked about.....unless it was a trick question and you meant Eastbourne. By the way, if you did mean Eastbourne, they're there too).

Yes. They're at the meeting. As far as I know Plymouth and Lakeside will replace Coventry and Rye House so the number of teams will remain the same, unless there's any other late applications to join.

Surely this should be the easiest AGM to sort... Plymouth and Lakeside in to replace Coventry and Rye House Set a points limit at about 38. Stay with the no TR rule. Don't mess with anything else.

Why £15? Are you trying to rip your mates off and make £5 profit out of them?

What is the "our" that you talk about? The assets of the extinct former Belle Vue promotion are now in the hands of the BSPA. They are to be sold off to pay the former promotion's speedway debts. Any excess money after the assets are sold, and the speedway debts are paid, goes back to the former promotion. At the moment the BSPA have those assets ringfenced to be sold en masse to a new Belle Vue promotion. This is almost certainly what will happen. If there was no new Belle Vue promotion to buy all the assets in one lump, they would have to be sold individually to other promoters

She said she was too busy eating penis and testicles.....I pointed out that she was voted out of the jungle days ago, but she said "who's talking about the jungle". Thanks for the info. So Lambert gets 2.5% deduction, but Rose doesn't? I've now just looked on www.Newcastlediamonds.co and that shows Rose getting 2.5% discount too... curiouser and curiouser.

If we use what the site calls the "2017 team building averages" you are over the limit by 0.18 if we take 2.5% off Lambert and Rose then you're under the limit by 0.19 Now you say you're only under by 0.04 I'm off to phone Carol Vorderman.

Thanks. Wouldn't it be nice if they showed this on the website....or even in the rulebook.

Can anyone help me here. I don't follow Newcastle too closely I'm afraid, but if I take the line up and averages off the BSPA site I get:- R Lambert 8.92 S Worrall 8.47 L Lindgren 7.69 L Rose 6.12 A Morris 4.98 D Phillips 2.00 C Coles 2.00 40.18 Where am I going wrong?

Slow me down Hancock

Congrats Starman. Your reading has improved. You've got what he said.

Taking Coles to Newcastle..

Hey KKS it'll certainly be a dark day for your hero Kenny Bjerre....Sandhu's nicked all the floodlights from Coventry.

Yes. The bond is used to pay any speedway debts (i.e. riders and other clubs) If you read the piece in the Speedway Star Scott Nicholls says that all being well, the riders will be paid what they're owed.

The way Zagar performed this year, I'd say whoever mechanic'd for him probably owes Belle Vue money!

Morris/ tungate

S Worrall / R Worrall

What happens in the promotion/relegation play-off if the bottom team in the Premiership share two doubling up riders with the top team in the Championship?

Think people are confused how these developments work. The reported £6m-£8m is the cost of the entire development including the gym, basketball hall, rugby pitches etc. The bit that the previous Belle Vue promotion were buying by way of a loan was just the grandstand building and pits area. The council even own the centre green rugby pitch. The council haven't got to write anything off. At the moment they just own a speedway facility as well as owning basketball, gym and rugby facilities etc. it remains to be seen if the new promotion set out a plan to buy the speedway part or just rent it. Really it's tiny compared to the £25M spent building the nearby indoor BMX track. That's council owned too. Manchester BMX club don't pay £25m back to use it.

You've missed Belle Vue Colts, and you've put Coventry Storm in.

So no illegal guests listed in those instances. At least you tried to find broken rules...... but failed.

It's not £10k. An EL or PL licence is £2,200 p.a. - That gives a track licence, 2 promoters licences, and up to 15 officials licences. An extra promoters licence is about £250 and any extra officials licences are about £50. A NL licence is just over £1,000 p.a. again covering the track, NL promoters, and officials.

If you left some live wires exposed and went out to mow your lawn in a thunderstorm, it probably would help British speedway, yes.

If you're the one believing this myth to be true, and quoting it as a fact, you should be asking for the evidence. Like Jayne Moss, I know that the rule has NOT been broken 5 times this year, so it's pretty pointless asking for evidence of something that doesn't exist.

Perhaps you should quote the 5 previous miscarriages of justice before making such a statement. The referee blundered badly on this occasion and should be reprimanded for failing to spot the problem earlier (he had from wednesday to check team eligibility) But this nonsense about the rule being broken on 5 previous occasions is a complete lie.
