Amen. Can I go back to my knitting now?

Good idea. Do a swop with Ed Kennett, plus a bag of Salt & Vinegar Crisps and a packet of Rich Tea biscuits. Sorted.

Thank you Mrs P.

Surely I'm not the only female admitting to be 'Over 60' and a Speedway fan? I'm feeling very lonely all on my own......which is probably why I always have my dog Lucy with me. I miss her.

It's always good for a laugh reading threads like these.

Hopefully going to another PL track that won't mean so many fixture clashes with Coventry then?

Thanks for the reply. I thought I read somewhere that he sold the bikes that he used at Lakeside that 'were flying'. I can never understand why riders do this and have to start again from scratch the following season. In this case I'm not referring to Bridger because if he was going to retire then it's understandable, but someone like Chris Harris who usually takes about 3 months to get going while he gets the right set up. Towards the end of the season he's usually 'flying' too - although perhaps not so much the last couple of years - then he sells the bikes and off we go on the merry go round again. With apologies to Chris if I've got this wrong but that's what I have been told in the past.

Would you mind repeating what the reasons were please? I can't be doing with Twitter as you are only allowed a few words at a time and if he's been posting bit by bit over a few days it's going to take me ages to catch up. Thanks.

Strangely enough I was thinking differently when I had that email come through. Why didn't he stick with his original intention and take a year out if things are that desperate.

I don't know about that now as the latest rumour seems to be Bridger to Coventry so I'm wide awake again. So what happened to Nicki Pedersen making a reappearance for Wolves then? I seem to remember a lot of fans never wanting him back again even though he is an asset and could do a good job for the club.

It will me but if he does sign I'll give him a few weeks before moaning. Perhaps I won't need to. We'll see.

Exactly why I hope it's not going to be him. We've had enough riders in the past losing interest and just going through the motions so no thank you to another. Never liked him as I'm not keen on riders with big ego's and think it's a brilliant idea to pop wheelies while at the back. I will be seriously disappointed if it's Bridger.

Ah...thanks. I'll sleep tonight now. Well, if I can get the thought of Lewis Bridger riding for us instead out of my mind.

I've commented about that in the past but had a 'DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?' telling off at Leicester so I'm saying nothing now. I know it was awful early on in the season with that inexperienced Pole doing it, but there were times later on that it was equally as diabolical - in particular the National League Fours and another National League match. I don't keep programmes any more so can't check but I think it was the Storm v Cradley. I thought Colin Pratt took over after the Pole left but he obviously won't be involved this season now he is with Swindon.

Oh go on. It will stop me worrying that Coventry might use him.

Okay so I know those at Coventry have a red flag but do they also have a rake? I've never noticed so perhaps someone more observant can answer that one. Could be quite an obstacle course to have several rakes laying around in case they are needed.

Sadly the answer is 'No' but we live in hope that this season there will be no problems with the track and meetings will be run quickly and smoothly.

It would be interesting to know how many tracks still have rakers. Coventry don't. The most I have ever seen in the past was at Berwick with 9 on each bend.

Presumably Ben? I bet David will be checking back over the takings in the ticket office now. Dispicable person to steal from a charity.

Looks like they've had a change of plan so the riff-raff can attend now. Stand by for pushing and shoving to get the best sandwiches as those not quick enough will get bread and jam and a glass of water for their fiver. An increase in the size of the room at the Marriott Hotel, Smith Way, Grove Park, Enderby has enabled us to open the event to all Lions fans next Thursday 22nd January when the sixth member of the team will be introduced. There will be an entrance charge of £5 per person payable on the night for non-season ticket holders.

Not sure I agree with that statement as Susan Boyle seems to have done pretty well for herself as a dowdy middle aged woman when she started out on 'Britain's Got Talent'.

Lives in Coventry doesn't he so Mick wouldn't have to pay too much in travel expenses for home matches.

Anyone find out what Robbo's average is yet? I knew I'd read it somewhere but actually the person wasn't sure. "If Robbo fits I'd have him back I thought his EL average might be too high but not sure what it is."

Mingle in the changing rooms? This sounds interesting.

I think someone has said Robbo's average is too high?
