Tsunami

In business, you move with the times, not get on about the good old days that will NEVER come back. Note you are 'like'd by old codgers, not folks in the business or attending fans. Blows your case really, probably time for you to move on. Do you really feel you have any ability to run a business, or are you just looking for the fight cos it's me.

Time to get your ears checked then.

Others have been saying that for decades and in 2013 we still await that challenge. The system is not perfect but it is workable and will stay and it stands the test of time.

Pathetic attitude from an alledged grown up. Time to grow up and not invent things. Too much self importance as usual.

Totally agree with your expectations for Tai. That should be the minimum, but it is really the maximum he will get. I'll accept it for what it is.

A bit like this post then.

And they can't write as well.

A 'going concern', a host of assets(riders registrations), the BSPA bond and partshare of 2013 shared events.

Why on earth would someone poor money into track modifications and sign riders with the aim for it to flop. One wonders whether some people have any braincells. Really hope that the Tigers can overcome this and come to the tapes in 2014.

IYO. Give me Rickardson anyday. Anyway, great and exciting racing doesn't give anyone personal charisma. All three of them are flawed in some ways with some sections of the public. Just cos Gary is a good guy in being a patron, doesn't give him charisma. Pretty obvious that.

Society has changed, get over it.

As a person Gollob has no charisma and dour. His riding can be exciting, but what when he sometimes cant be arsed to race. He is very frustrating and I think you over estimate his attraction. If you think Tai lacks something, then how do you view him against Havvy. Give me the nice personality that is Tai. He is a clean cut youngster who has won the WC fairly with some tremendous riding and racing this year. You don't get a better image in sports that Tai. Except for his tattoos and earrings mind.

Not really, rather concentrate on someone who might come back.

Terrible example. Why not compare Tai with the personality of Havvy.

Chris Neath ?

...and neither would I.

I really don't remember, BB. They were set up to simulate a rider hitting the barrier flat and upright at racing speed.

Yes, it's a business and what the fans want(except you).

It's getting near the time of the year, OH NO THEY'RE NOT.(and that's fact)

In one of my many roles I was fortunate to see a folio showing the tests that one company has carried out on their type of airfence, that they are currently trying to sell to promotions. There are substantial photos of crash test dummies(good name for a group that) being rammed into the fence at a given speed with photos from behind, above and from the side. Speed of impact is calibrated and the effects of the impact photographed. In particular, they carried out the same impacts to the velcro overlap between two panels to show that the joint was not a weakpoint, but as strong at the panel all over. One problem recently has been the weakness whereby the rider, and/or the bike, gets lodged under the actually panel and was unable to get out unaided. Their design has a new feature in the form of a solid rubber wedge behind the kickboard flap, and this will prevent the problem. There are numerous grades of plastic material, all of which will do the job, but Newcastle are going to purchase theirs with the top quality as you would expect. So it would seem that there is a lot of research been carried out and well chronicled. Like the aforementioned solid rubber wedge, actually usage is also being used to try and enhance and improve the qualities to give the riders the best protection. An announcement is expected very soon.

Correct, but then what can you expect when only two of their riders turn up. Our heatleaders could have rode 125's tonight against some of the opposition, and still pipped them on the line. A powerhouse show from the Diamonds last night, against a two man team. Both Ulrich and Aaron were once again good value for money, and Aaron didn't even need restarts to get his wins this time. All Diamonds, with the exception of Schramm, took either a win or a paid win, which will help some of them pay the bills for the damage others caused to their bikes at Plymouth last Friday. 61 points is handy in the bag should there be no away wins in our half of the PO group, but Somerset must still be favourites, as they stand a better chance of an away win at Redcar than we do at their place on Friday. One never knows as Redcar can be a decent force at the STMP having beaten a superteam recently at their place. Couldn't ask for more last night, just hope we go to Somerset with that form and they give it their best. Common the Diamonds(and Redcar on Thursday) , just hope Redcar don't do a Berwick on us like Berwick did in 2002. :shock:

And the assertion proving negative.(but realistic)

Lets hope tonight he is saving himself for the EL PO's. Any Diamonds fans going to the Cardiff GP next year on Saturday 12th July, I have three spare rooms booked for Universary rooms in the Halls. Only about 1/2 mile from the Castle, they are single rooms at £25 per night and all of them are for the Friday and the Saturday. Let me know either tonight or this week if you are interested in them. They are on a room only basis.

Good result with them having their best team out and Lewis having a quiet night. Means we end up third, but it is the playoffs that count.

Oooops. Seem like a couple on here need to read before they show themselves up. Too late.
