A bit like insider trading it is very difficult to prove wrongdoing. In Wolberts scenario he is largely now unemployable at the majority of British clubs which is almost as good as a ban.

Leicester was his avenue to return to the 0131 next year as there was no way he was going to carry off being third in their order. His average would have fallen rather quickly and may even have replaced one of the Monarchs mid season should conditions on both sides have been right.

His engines are probably still in a shed in West Lothian with last years dirt on.

Thunderbird anywhere else.

Other than Poole or Kings Lynn, most clubs with the odd exception would be an old school Premier League challenge.

Can you buy online?

His engine from the previous season was lying in a shed in West Lothian until the week before Press and Practice such was his lack of preparation for 2014. There were numerous promises from the rider himself about a new engine arriving that went on for several weeks. It never did arrive.

Thats on a par with the 'in the interests of British speedway' quote to justify the unjustifiable. Wolbert has dedicated himself to himself, and his club. British speedway is his second league. He may have picked up a place at Leicester because there isnt much choice left at this stage and his numbers fit but im very surprised Bates has taken him on.

Wolbert will struggle in the main body and will find little home advantage on a shockingly unappealing track. So a win win situation for the 0131 to gain a familiar face at reserve. By June!

A wind up merchant all the same. At a Ber v Edin match, on spotting the elusive Thomas H Jonasson in the crowd quipped 'funny he can turn up to watch'. Hilarious at the time especially as the 0131 in the stand were raging.

On 12 March they are more than pushing their luck with the weather. Do we ever learn? A rain off is disastrous in trying to re-schedule. A meeting which is weather affected but run just to get it on loses the goodwill of the paying punter who wont re-attend in future. Surely an early April date could increase the likelihood of fairer weather and be more suitable.

Is Wethers now holding a UK passport?

28.7 miles Gazc. Get it right up them.

The bold THJ wouldnt lower himself for tier 2 speedway in Britain. Besides he didnt like Armadale and was elsewhere most Fridays when he was in their 1-7 a good few years ago now. He really has fallen off the radar or perhaps more likely found his level.

With a middle order of Campton, Proctor and Roynon there'll be more zeros than the national debt away from Derwent Park.

Having a contract in Poland and riding in Poland are two separate things.

Is that as an alternative to waiting in an NHS queue and not being fit for March?

Just shy of 30 miles apparently.

How many times will he tell you the new engines are coming!

Wolbert now needs a victim club for 2017 to drop 2 points from his average and confirm his return to the Dale the following season.

Great potential is the key. Last year that came from Worrall and Bach who were arguably our best and most consistent pairing, and offered good value on their starting averages.

Thats an understatement. Whoever we sign as No3 in the averages will determine how long our tail will be.

An absolute trier capable of improving but now seems saddled with a 5 point average representing a waste of a point on his actual average. Needs a period of recuperation to get over his injuries and reinvest in equipment. Be good if he got a team place sorted, particularly Berwick as he generally goes well there.

Will be superb though i wonder why placing it over the old tote board on bend 3 wouldnt be a better option.

Sounds a good move to a Saturday. Im sure the owners will have undertaken a sensitivity analysis and worked out it benefits more people than it inconveniences. It will clash with Braehead Clan but only really in September & October. The Clan dont always play on a Saturday at home anyway, I've already been to a Friday match and they do have periods on the road when arena is being used for something else on a Saturday. Public transport wont be an issue for the train anyway, the service remains every half hour from Queen Street and back on a Saturday with the last train from Ashfield at 23.34. I think we are getting a bit desparate quoting riders travel departure times. By moving to a Saturday we are hopefully increasing the number and scope of riders potentially available to sign. However the biggest hurdle may be getting it voted through the AGM. Wonder how our near neighbours would vote!
