Police certainly get info.I came back from a trip abroad and the police were there waiting for a mate of mine as soon as he got off the plane and escorted him up to Scotland.This does seem to be pretty minor(on the face of it) and like others have said his guilty plea was probably made to make his entry into the country(and other countries)easier

If he is going to be a bit of a loose canon like maybe Best and only hurt himself and his own career then no problems.But at the moment i can't see the comparison.He seems more like some stars who have been in the press recently who hurt others as well.Fingers crossed we don't have to compare him to any who let fame go to their head and couldn't keep themselves under control

Heard Egon will be at my local track on sunday with a couple of the bikes for a few local riders (Stephan Katt,Matten Kröger,Danny Maaßen etc)to try out.Hope the weather doesn't spoil it as i would like to pop along and have a look

I'm not having a go at you,just your theory.Which appears to be saying this is all a fuss about nothing and you are blowing it out of proportion because it is darcy.you might as well add that everyone is doing it,just to back up Middlo.Sorry,but at least Matt Ford has recognised this isn't a fuss about nothing

Yeah right.Your crap theory rates alongside Freud.I suppose Middlo is Einstein......

Let's face it that is a pretty poor theory you have there

Rubbish.Why was he in a no win situation?He didn't actually have to say anything.As for "off the cuff".....this was a very serious incident and i doubt he just bumped into the journalist while out walking the dog or something......

And the answer was all that was needed.Not the crap afterwards thank you

Can't you read?I ain't guessing.What i was doing was asking a question!!!!

Yes.I wonder if someone knows with whom or where Lindbäck was staying when in England?Don't suppose he would also be bunking at Chez Middlo?

Surely Poole must have known this was coming up and should have been ready to deal with it?Can't believe the Echo got wind of this before Ford.So as someone said there should have been an official press statement and Ford should has issed it and been the man talking.Seems some mistakes were made on that account.Ford has been through this before so should know the ropes and put a muzzle on Middlo.Even if it was a "we are as much in the dark and are waiting for further details or a call with darcy....." sort of thing.Badly handled by Middlo/Ford,but at least Matt is trying to pick up the pieces here and save the situation

A ban might not solve the problem as Phil Rising says,but it might help towards solving the problem.Somehow he needs a shake up and quick before it is too late.For him and who knows who else will get caught up in this downward spiral.Funnily enough another rider associated with Poole,Antonio Lindbäck did get himself(as far as i can tell)back on the right path.He took a step back from the limelight and almost started again from scratch.I can't see Darcy keeping his feet on the ground if he manages in the next few months to win a GP,which isn't impossible

In his defence,he did say in his opinion.Not that his opinion is worth much Middlo is reasonably lucky that he is a fairly obscure figure in reality.If that comment was made by someone in a responsible public eye position then he would be cruxified and his position would be untenable.As it is he and some of his mates will say something like,you always support your friends ......His character was questionable before from previous incidents.There is no way if this statement is true that he should be allowed to hold a responible position in the public eye/professional sport

Middlo is the unacceptable face of freedom.To even try to excuse what darcy did is bad enough,but to make out this is something the majority of youngsters do is scandalous.Ok i will forgive him if he just meant Australians

Saw Jouni has a nice few holes in his leg after his fall at the weekend!!!! 8 from 3 finished heats isn't bad either What about the Assen wildcard scandal?Seems Sven Holstein signed the papers and was announced as wildcard,at least on speedway.org.Now it seems he got told at the weekend that his services aren't wanted in Assen.Not even on the friday!!!!!!And the wildcard will be going to a Swede or Czech.Now the guessing can start.Nice little twoing and froing on FB How to make friends and influence people

What is on the weekend before?Particularly near the German border.I know Leszno -Wroclaw,but what else is on???

Guess it is too late now,but maybe for next year and i hope this doesn't make me seem as mad as a man from Manchester called Paul.But what about a Little Big Issue? Pocket sized season review.You can just imagine how much life would be improved for many a speedway fan if they can,on the bus,at work,queeing for a chinese or south american(whatever takes your fancy)you can pop it out,lick your finger and flick away.Not boasting,but i have already got a Little Big Horn for next season

The original post was about clubs having a "stand at the show" and i don't think your post implied anything else.So as i say or ask would a stand from other clubs do anything other than preach to the converted?As for handing out leaflets at zoos and fun fairs and other big attractions that is surely a good idea which i agree with

Not one for backing promoters in the face of criticism,but,and this is just an honest question,wouldn't this be seen as preaching to the converted?I would have thought this is a very special event only attended by die-hard speedway fans?

I was rather hoping that they would print the issue as a fold out one giant page issue so negating the need for an index.If not,maybe i could somewhere download a minimax spreadsheet with all the teams listed and i could fill in the page number next to each team as i go through the magazine,which would be of unimaginable help to me on my almost daily referencing during the course of the season. I be going watch football now

I agree,no index.But please,please,have your text in various sizes and colours so that we can understand the important points

It is hard(for me at least)to really work out just what has gone on or is going on.Rye House as a venue?Len Silver has been around since the days of the previous pirate league.Hardly anyone in the sport knows more than he does.I can't work out how he agreed to this if he knew it was a speedway meeting outside of SCB control.Maybe he didn't know all the details and maybe hadn't agreed to anything.At the moment it doesn't all add up

A slow release of info isn't a bad thing in itself.That is exactly the strategy that Sittingbourne are using to keep things on the boil.The thing here is, i suspect things have ground to a halt and we won't hear much else from this group/pair.I was thinking they can't be so naive to expect an easy ride and just come in and promote their own series,they must have one or two tricks up their sleeve to answer the shot across their bows from the SCB.Maybe though,they were that naive

Only 3 occasions a Finn gets serious i can think of 1.When his bottle of alcohol is empty 2.When he hasn't got enough money for a bottle of alcohol 3.When his sauna is busticated

This is a story told to me by Arthur Sissis' father.A rival of Arthur in Australia had a brand new bike bought for him.In the first meeting he didn't do as well as expected.His father,rather irate took the bike back to the shop and told the guy he had sold him a duff and wanted his money back.The guy who owned the shop the asked if Arthur would ride the bike in the next meeting,which he did and which he won.The father of his rival wanted to know what had been changed on the bike and wouldn't have it that it was in the same condition as when his son rode it..........
