Better late than never then

Don't see the point of that , random testing is just as much of a deterrent . If you don't consume alcohol in the lead up to a meeting or take banned substances then you wont get caught if your one of the riders called to provide a sample. Isn't not knowing weather you'll be chosen is just as effective as knowing you will be tested ? Unless you're stupid enough to take a chance that is .

One question that has remained unanswered in this whole sorry mess is who among Darcys advisors / mates / pit crew thought it was a good idea to allow him to consume alcohol less than 24 hours before a GP ? Surely someone in his team should of had the sense to see that this was not the greatest of ideas especially after already dodging a bullet earlier in the season , and been able to talk to him and tell that maybe he should lay off the booze , but unfortunately for Darcy as on his crew is probably Middlo it's understandable why we are in this clusteridiot of a situation now, perhaps one lesson he's learned is that he needs better mates around him and not a bunch of clowns who want party all the time

The potential reopening of any track at any level has to be welcomed these days

That's just typical Barrie , he's been doing that sort of stuff at Berwick and various other tracks for as long as I can remember , still doesn't excuse it though.

In a weeks time we'll be able to start another 189 page thread on weather or not the correct sentence was handed out

Be good to add to the asset base

Adam Ellis for the remaining team place ?

Luke Crang it is then

Yeah actually should of said reads , edited now

Read a bit like it was written by a twelve year old

I think Anders Thomsen could be a decent shout

Aaron Summers deal to be announced this week according do his Facebook timeline

Yes but when they're fast track riders the options are limited for a team looking to replace a rider , Compton wasn't at Poole due to his ability was he ?

Been there before haven't we ? The only reason Benji was at Poole was because his average fitted

I'm sure when Mitch Davey was over here the first time around he said towards the end of his second season that he wouldn't be back the next season as he had not reached the required average to allow him to come back over , had to stay at home in Oz the next year and miss a season then come back over next again

One of the recommendations of the Shawcross report from the mid sixties was the establishment of an independent body to run the sport , 50 years later we're still waiting

Wouldn't have Robin on any shopping list of mine , another rider who seemed to keep his best performances for the Swedish leagues

coverage in the Berwick Advertiser is the same as what's in the S Star , as for the Southern Reporter its virtually non existent . Perhaps a flyer inserted into the local papers now and again might be an idea , also a few flyers placed in fast food outlets might help spread the word Ben Wilson is a decent shout

The late Ian Thomas once said that the speedway rule book needed rewriting - On the back of a cigarette packet

Coventry ?

Spends most Saturday nights at Shielfield any way maybe nxt year he can bring his bikes with him

It was in the newsletter released by the club and is also on the Bandits website

According to the newsletter Havelock was ok about Matej coming back on loan when asked at the AGM , he then changed his mind and decided on a full transfer After losing out financially in previous seasons due not being paid , Ben was probably keen to ride for a team where he knows he'll get paid , it might be less but at least he'll get it

Don't hold your breath waiting on the BSPA to make a decision if it goes to arbitration
