Janowski getting "punished"?

I run a supermarket and the answer is "Yes" unfortunately.. We don't even report shoplifters to the police as absolutely nothing gets done... They only attend if over £500 and we have clear CCTV coverage of the thief.. However, as we no longer are allowed to apprehend, unless physically threatened, there is no one to arrest even if the Police do ever turn up.. There are plenty of apps available via YouTube from around the globe that can get you the sports channels... A VPN can have you watching from anywhere in the world...

Sky paid British Speedway to get out of what was left of their contract to show Speedway... I presume it was much cheaper to do so than cover the remaining meetings in the agreement...

Very true... Private Eye may be a better call though... They know how to say everything without saying anything...😀 They love a good council/developer story...

You could easily do a 3 match Test Series against the Aussies before Poland starts . Glasgow, The NSS and Poole (or Ipswich), would guarantee very decent crowds.. And start the domestic season off with a bit of publicity off the back of it .

Only "In the interests of Speedway" though obviously...😁

Hated, Adored, But Never Ignored..... Just like Poole...

If Speedway is on TNT, and you need to subscribe, cancel Sky, telling them why... (Watching the Speedway, can't afford both).. You will get offered the sports package by Sky for less than £20 a month.. "If" Speedway is being shown obviously...

I wonder if when the TNT execs heard that they also had speedway, they said... "Speedway? Is that still going?" 😀 Just like, it seems, about half the UK population...

Kabaddi....😀. With Bomber guesting for the Punjab Panthers .

But who is now going to take on the mantle of just switching programme channels at the drop of a hat, completely screwing up your recording of it? Or joining a meeting 3 heats in because the tennis over ran? Or even not showing the speedway meeting at all live but putting it on later, (when the Kabaddi has finished)... Add to this who are now going to consistently show the wrong captions for riders, teams, tac subs, scores, rising stars etc? Big shoes to fill...

I am always impressed that both the teams get to the final each year...

He would definitely get me and my lad there... The six rider final with Doyle in it is great....

BV at the dog bowl used to have a betting hut... Lasted a couple of years but never really took off...

They were closer last year to the limit simply through made up averages for their top two... The reality was somewhat different.. This team looks stronger, and has more potential to improve... Sixth for me, depending on whether Oxford can pull a rabbit out of the hat.. There is probably one team too many in the top league for all to be competitive given the lack of interest from those one and two tier riders who are not interested in riding over here.. And the second division fans bemoan their lack of meetings.. A shame a compromise couldn't be achieved for Birmingham to ride on Monday in the second division, especially as it wouldn't be too difficult to work around so few fixture clashes... Or maybe Oxford just ran in the second division for a season to see how Birmingham unfolds track wise? Six teams would have delivered a very competitive league with decent riders on standby for injuries...

The issue will be the EAN (barcode number), not being loaded into their POS system.. The buyer usually sorts this by setting up the EAN, and price, on the central pricing system that each major retailer uses... If a barcode number changes then the change can sometimes get missed by the retailer... The retailer should flag up any "not on File" products (those that won't scan), to their central control teams to sort...

Get hold of Private Eye and let them loose on the story..... They love council decision making, and highlight plenty of "questions" around why decisions got made, after initially a completely different decision was announced.. Rotten Borough's is the title .

Had to wait till dinner break to get access to their phone.....😀

It would be too dark to get it in the right place though!!...😀

They just need to rake back the dirt that builds up near the fences.. You want riders to "fly around the outside" when watching Speedway... At Sheffield the dirt becomes too deep about a metre away from the fence to encourage riders to do that .. Or, the true racers, try to use that dirt and are never really 100% in control... The reputation gained isn't so much the crashes as they are infrequent when in context, its more the fact that when you watch riders trying to use the outside they "buck and rear" more than they should.. The track would deliver better racing if they just "thinned" the dirt up by the fence out a bit...

"We have scoured the globe, left no stone unturned, etc etc etc"... "However no one was prepared to race over here at the moment, (and we asked some very top level riders)".. "Therefore, we have signed (fill in second string level riders name here), and feel that he, like the rest of the team, can put a point on their averages"... "Teams with strength in depth can often be very successful, Peterborough for example etc etc etc ." ..

But the lack of riders will mean an ever decreasing fan base.. A vicious circle in a race to the bottom..

"Arise Sir Bomber, For Services to Guesting"

To be fair not just in the UK... Sweden, Denmark, Australia, across northern Europe, and the rest of Scandinavia is the same... Hardly any quality young riders emerging from any of those countries to replace the old guard... And, as fhe sport gains less attention, less riders will be found... Similar to the UK..

Definitely in the Top 10 in the world the past two years at least I would say.. A bit like Doyle in being a later developer than some.. It looked for a while that he wasn't going to fulfil the potential he so obviously had when he first arrived in the UK.. The move to the NSS has been the making of him... A proper captain too, who leads from the front, and takes no prisoners when a gap appears, (or even sometimes if it doesn't)!😀 He certainly will ruffle a few feathers in the GP's and won't be overawed by being there... I think a top six finish is within his capabilities given the tracks he will be riding at...
