I don't get this procedure at all. All it means is the guy rolled in first gets extra gardening time over the others. 2mins clock, that's all that's required

I'm very much a Stars fan thanks, not a fan of a joke competition if that's ok?? I'm not going to be blinkered like the Poole fans last year over what is a farce. The dream for me is to see my team win the Elite League, that is the ultimate and I'm looking forward to seeing us try again in that for 2015 Genuinely hope you & other Stars fans enjoy your time over there, it's not for me

We'll be lucky to finish 4th. We have a terrible side compared to the other 3 teams and nobody is expecting anything more. At the end of the day, it's a sh!+€ speedway competition that most British Speedway fans couldn't really give 2 monkeys about.

Peterborough now looking for a short term replacement of Roynon. Better hope they don't perform or the new racesuit will a wardrobe ornament

That may be the case but what I was getting at really was that there's nothing in the 2015 regulations that says the legs part of the reacesuits have to be black

It looks like this has changed / been missed from the 2015 regulations that the Racesuits have to be predominantly black on the legs The only image I've seen this being tested is NKI's new suit at King's Lynn's Press & Practice where he's gone predominantly blue http://i1095.photobucket.com/albums/i467/KLStars127/Iversen_zpswjauohxc.jpg

Of course they can sign Woffy or Killer if their averages fit. You're making it up.

I think Risager would have gone on to be World class but for injuries. That 1st leg break set him back and never really recovered from picking up further injuries along the way which absolutely hammers confidence. This will be Lambert's test, recovery from injuries. Mental strength As I've said before, at the moment Lambert is a carbon copy of Chris Harris. Great to watch as a racer but can't gate for toffee. Time will tell, he may be a slow burner then bang in his top form from his mid to late 20's. Every rider is different.

Wrong, 2 over 7 is for the start of the season only. After the 1st set of averages, teams can do as they please. If every rider has a 10+ average they can be replaced like for like. I can only see the 2 over 7 rule being enforced for redeclaration. There's no way if Holder gets injured Poole would only be allowed a 6.99 replacement if North or Watt up their averages.

AustralianSGP is the last round where the World Champion will be crowned

It is a hard call but I'm gonna make my 8th - 1st attempt + Play-Off winners 8th - Wolverhampton - Just look utterly dreadful. I think they'll be a huge gap between them and 7th. 7th - Leicester - 2 rider's in the top 5 that are way past their best and riders not great at gating on a gaters track. 6th - Lakeside - ok at home but are just gonna get wacked about away. Only Jonsson will offer any consistency. 5th - Coventry - Consistent 7 point men in the top 3 positions but will suffer in the middle order with Jamrog & Robson. Saving grace to nudge Swindon out of 4th could be the reserves but are known to fall when in vital point scoring positions. 4th - Swindon - The Poles are bound to go missing, whether it's through form or their Polish clubs putting bans on them. This could cause them to just drop out of the top 4 but firmly believe they have a saving grace with the top reserve pairing. 3rd - King's Lynn - huge reliance on Porsing & Lambert for me to improve & push for Schlein's position as 3rd heatleader. More important than the reserve positions for me but if these 2 fall short, a finish as low as 6th is likely. 2nd - Belle Vue - I can't see a weakness at all. A solid top man with the rest of the top 5 possibly chopping and changing with easy 2nd string rides. 1st & Play-Off winners - Poole - no surprise. Gomolski & North to be replaced asap when their averages rise plus the 2nd best reserve pairing. Untouchable from June onwards.

I think you'll find, everyone is being hugely sarcastic.

Yep, agree with Steve0 & Trees. Purely aimed at winding up the Pirates. Quite frankly, I could give a poop. Fully focused on the new 2015 season

Not sure about that. There were good and bad back then too, just some people today don't know how to make their point and move on. People take an opposite opinion as a personal attack and that's where things have got lost. All in all, I still think this place is pretty friendly with plenty of banter.

If you can remember his answer I'm intrigued to know the answer please?

So, what are you saying? He should get away with it? NO EXCUSE RIDING WITH ALCOHOL IN YOUR SYSTEM ON RACEDAY. End of..........

Well have Starman on next saying it wasn't him either. It clearly is and we're now seeing the 2 faces of the Speedway-Forum of some posters

http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/11799089.Darcy_Ward__Speedway_fans_take_to_Twitter_as_disciplinary_delay_rumbles_on___/ Gustix says..."I've been watching Speedway since before the internal combustion engine was invented, and I say sign Janowski - a good lad who drinks orange juice and never causes trouble.Ward's wait for a decision is his own fault. i don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but the rule on a decision from an FIM hearing is that the decision is made in writing up to 45 days after the hearing. It never comes in less than 2 weeks. Anyone who thought there'd be a decision in less than 2 weeks is a fool.As Sir Isaac Newton once said - "never believe any quotes you read on twitter" Anyway who is Ward? Who am I? Where's matron?".

Why can't they be this honest when on here. I'm starting to fall in love with those to. Just needs to be rounded off with Skidder1 and that's the triple crown completed.

So what you're saying is, it was you????? (shhhhhhhh, I won't tell anyone)

It sure as hell can't be the same guy, CAN IT?!?!?!?:- Steve Shovlar says...He only had the hearing 2 weeks ago...The decision never comes within 2 weeks. In fact if Ward, Middleditch and the Echo bothered to read the F.I.M. rules they'd know that the decision comes in writing within 45 days of the hearing.Ward is being treated no different to anyone else. There's no delay, just normal legal procedure.If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

Pleased to see some are getting the full package at £32. Wish I could, the bar stewards won't budge on the £48 we're paying now and we don't have Movies or HD. We're still on the white Sky+. They won't even have us upgraded to HD FOC if we go to the family bundle (even though there's an advert advertising it) We cancelled once, we were on £39 at the time & they went through with it, no call back, nothing for 3 months. We had to go back to them and bang, £48. When the new price for Sports is released, it's got to go as I only watch it for Speedway & Darts. Man Utd games I watch at my old man's. Don't watch any other matches I know I'm being done but the bargaining doesn't work for all

The rules have been changed now though. The riders equipment now has to include a compact tractor with a grader no wider than 4ft. This has to be completed within 5 mins including the race itself.

I'd say Kozza does meet the standards with a 7.15 PL average

I for one am pleased to see Bridger back. I'm even more pleased he's gone to a big track and moved away from trick tracks. Over the last few years he's had various different personal issues to deal with. After last season I have a new found belief in him. Now he has a real 2nd chance and now is the time to take it with both hands.
