  1. Ah, the voice of doom from the south speaks. You can stop watching, you know. Perhaps you did when you think Flint and Ellis didn’t trouble the scorers. Brennan - whose first name is TOM not Tim - is having a poor season and was only emergency back up. GB knew they were struggling without Dan and Tai. What extra do you think Brennan would have brought? And who would you prefer as manager? Middlo? No you have a chip on your shoulder about him. Pizzas and beer Rosco? Easy to criticise from your care home’s comfy chair but come up with something positive for once. And speaking of positives, well done Rob Lambert, overall top scorer.
  2. Wrong way round. It was Greg who was looking for a team place for Slater. Poole didn’t ask Greg - Greg asked Poole.

  4. What are we looking at? A dark uneven line with lighter colours either side? What am I missing?
  5. Is that how it will work? So if a rider had both a Polish under 24 team place and a place in another Polish league, they couldn’t ride in any other country?
  6. Wrong again Nellie. Cami personally or through his company has been a sponsor in the past but never a major one

  8. The parent company of Gaming International is called Toklon and the transfer of control of this company from Clarke to Susan Thomas and Eloise Osbourne was registered yesterday. There has previously been a substantial amount of debt noted in the group of companies which largely seems to have been satisfied. As at the end of June last year, the total assets of the group were a meagre £44k

  10. This has to be one of the best promoted meetings ever - and for such a good cause. Have a look at the Facebook page for all the cameos supporting the event, including Jason Crump, Barry Briggs, Phil Collins, Bruce Penhall, James Easter, Ollie Allen, Kelvin Tatum, Chris Morton MBE, Erik Gundersen and Greg Hancock. Hopefully a decent crowd at Buxton on Sunday - the weather forecast looks good - and there’s a shed load of money raised for the Ben Fund.
  11. Leave Nellie alone. He/she/it needs something to deflect from his/her team once more letting its supporters down with a baffling team selection. Again

  13. It seemed a very strange move bringing, or rather announcing they were bringing Riss back when, no matter what, Oxford had only a couple of meetings left and, regardless of the results, weren’t going to make the play offs.
  14. Is there such a thing as a “current rolling GSA” as opposed to just a normal GSA? There are exceptions but, for the majority of riders, the GSA’s come out on the 20 something of each month, effective from the 1st of the following month, so, for the whole of August, Rushen is 6.00 and Cairns 5.49.
  15. If your quoted the full post, you’d have seen that’s exactly what @SteveLyric2wrote
  16. Just to explain how these events work: tracks apply to stage what are called shared events. They will get a staging fee which will be a percentage of the gate receipts plus they will keep proceeds from car park and food and drink outlets if they have control over them. It is therefore in BV’s interests to promote the living daylights out of this event. But will they? Do they normally do any promotion? Radio? TV? Press? Blitzing social media? I have no idea, but then I’m not local
  17. I was just trying to out Blobby Blobby. He’s Edinburgh’s (negative) answer to Steve Shovlar, saying the opposite of what he really feels
  18. Typical Blobby-cology. Edinburgh have the potential to win tonight with Dan T, Kye and Paco on form, Grahn and Sedmen can be good back up and at least one of the reserves, Cluff probably more than capable of neutralising Newman. I’d have said previously that Poole might edge it due to the Middlo effect but he’s not going to be there. Predicted final score - not got a clue
  19. I think you must have missed the point made in a previous post. He was released on licence with strict conditions. He knew what they were but still breached them and was returned to prison. He was then released again, and once more knew the conditions of his release yet still ignored them. And it wasn’t just being a little late for a curfew it was not being where he was permitted to be. There are many apologists on here for him but then there are those that were aware of his actions long before he committed the crimes for which he was jailed for a total of seven years and four months. And that is not a trivial sentence. It seems to me that he lacks all appreciation of right and wrong and, in my view, that is unlikely to change. Ever.
  20. Was there not a tale going round some years ago about Mr Cook in a car with others when there was plenty of rawhide on show? The tale did happen but the event was only alleged
  21. Too many young riders who think they are something special as soon as they can slide a bike. And that applies from NDL onwards. Let’s face it, the sport in UK can’t afford to pay these guys a full time wage and all too many don’t have a back up income, but they still expect to be paid enough to live off for what is just a part time job. OK Lawson doesn’t appear to be sociable but he does his job well and I’d guess at a fair rather than excessive rate which is why he supplements his income outside the sport.
