Lord only knows what on earth you are running on about. Reading between the lines he had it booked before signing for BV as he had a free week, and signed for Lemo 'as long as yous let me go for my week in the sun, mate'. Just a pity we all get fibbed to about a 'knee injury'.

Going by social media it would appear Doyle was on holiday and not injured at all.

Jody Scott is in so somebody has withdrawn. -
Premiership 2027 - Are You Interested??
Bagpuss replied to Daniel Smith's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I personally don't think that any rider who is going to be absent for a certain percentage of meetings in a season should be permitted to ride in a league whoever they are. Injury can't be helped but one of the things which gets up people's noses more than anything IMO is facilities for riders who are raving elsewhere and not for the team they signed for. -

Not in the Champ perhaps but he's been at the level you'd expect in the Prem. -

I think its more likely to be the other way round. Cooper has done well so far at 4, don't think it makes a huge amount of difference anyway personally. Harris at 5 concerns me a bit, if its mega slick as it usually is when Lynn visit he'll struggle. As always we have to make good starts, don't and we'll get marmalised. -

And keep them to a minimum. R/R has to be compulsory apart from for your number 1 or a reserve, but replace reserves with unattached Champ riders. And on the Championship don't allow riders like McDairmid to sign in the first place if they are never going to be here. -

Charge of the heavy brigade into the first turn, not for the feint hearted, where angels fear to tread, party piece. All great Lanningisms. I dont think he'll ever be bettered personally.

Ipswich Witches vs Leicester Lions 9th July
Bagpuss replied to ShanoXtra's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
The Henka, Loram, Brhel years were awesome. Last heat decider every week. I can remember Petersen at Lynn in 1988, I think he dropped a couple of points off his average and didnt last the season. Had a falling out with Bill Barker over money and popped up at Wolves IIRC. Then of course finished his career over here very successfully with Arena Essex 1991-93. -
Glasgow v Edinburgh Scottish Cup 1st Leg 11th July

Not sure why you would write all that and not mention Tate Z getting paid 10 in place of Paco. -

I think the fact that not one Edinburgh fan has stood up for Cluff speaks volumes. Also the two guests have had a massive impact on the result. -

Too much clay unfortunately, its good for stock cars though and that's what makes most of the money. I also think Lynn's track would benefit from the white line being taken in a bit. Shorter straights, wider bends. It can be good, we see the odd very good race but generally riders get too strung out too quickly and its very difficult to make up ground once behind because of all the heavy roost.
