  1. Factually incorrect as usual. Your number 1 rider is the one with the highest average. Get over it.
  2. Such a shame that this meeting had to be abandoned. These kids don't get that many chances to showcase their skills, and get serious racing in, so this was another lost opportunity, but they still managed to get about half the meeting in. Damn weather. Hope nobody was hurt, given the number of falls and exclusion and the every worsening heat times. Here's to the next round.
  3. Go one george, you know you want to. If you put it on now, you can serve your ban when you are on the cruise. Simples.
  4. Cheeky Raylee Monkee "You really couldn't make it up when it comes to the amateurism of the sport in this country." You were saying CRM.
  5. I would have thought yes. I am bringing down 125 and 140 bikes so there shouldn't be a problem. It's £35 including medical facilities and there is a canteen arrangement.
  6. Why would riders need to go to the expense and inconvenience of fitting transponders on their bikes, when it can all be recorded by a single official who is free and doesn't introduce any technical problems. Would we have to add to the duties of the machine examiner, or appoint another new official, to examine and test all transponders to see that they all work before each race. What penalties would be appropriate for a non functioning transponder before, during or after a race. What next, 'black box recorders' in the event of a crash or malfunction. No, I think track times and records are purely incidental and not worth any extra burden on either the riders or promotions The most important aspect of attending a meeting is to see decent racing on a safe raceable track. Often a track record is usually a fast race by the leader with no passing or excitement. The best races are where there is passing, or threatened passing, and that is not usually conducive with track records.
  7. Pleased to hear that BP. Thursday is downpour day this week, according to the forecasts, but fine after that so we should be OK for Saturday. We wil bring about 5 riders down.
  8. Rolling averages, which includes his brilliant scoring this year, added tomost of his lower scores from last year. It is reckoned we will benefit him being at reserves right throught till about August, but such is the strength of our team that he would be replaced at reserve by Henry on 5.84, who is riding like a heatleader at the moment for both us and while guesting. It's Kalle all over except it is not fiddled. Does anyone know the real reason why Tyson cannot enter the country. Visa's, as proved by others, are usually only a problem for a short period.
  9. Bad news but thanks for the information Ken. See you next time.
  10. Does anybody know if his is still on. Many thanks.
  11. Anybody got any comments to make about the crowd, the venue, the racing or any events that happened on the day. Couldn't make it due to the Diamonds home meeting, but would love to have been there.
  12. Likewise I will be a Brough for our home meeting, but wish all the lads and the Northside team have an untroubled meeting with some great racing.
  13. Totally wrong and it has alays been an issue. At KL, not only does the sun come from the direction of the pits, but it also stop riders seeing the green light column on the fence side of the track at the start of the race. Most other tracks that I have been too in the summer months, has at some stage a stoppage to allow for the sun to be less a nuisence. Stoke has always had regular sunbreaks. The issue with goggles filling up are just part and parcel of the sport, and part of the skill of not getting filled in by getting to the front earlier. You can't avoid that but you do have complimentary measures such a tearoffs and windons.. A sunbreak can be included and utilised as a track grading.
  14. Every time. He's like your old senile Grand Dad. Harmless, laughed at, and hasn't a clue what he is saying.
  15. Nurse Nurse, he's out again. Get the medicine.
  16. I can see the analogy, They were nearly Trumped after the 2010 AGM, but they came out top trumps. BTW Did you ask Snackie if you could post that. Better not let him see your spelling or grammer.
  17. There you go with that twaddle again, Don. It may take awhile, but I am here to help.
  18. Quite agree Snackie. They are British registrations to ride in this country, or commonly known as assets.
  19. Some old dinosaurs ignore the fact that business is being conducted monthly in line with the asset system, that he says doesn't exist. Loan fees, transfers, signing on fees, must all be a figment of everyone else's imagination. It may 'count for very little' but alive it certainly is, and even copes with riders moving to clubs they want to ride for. Wow, what a system. Mind ya don't fall getting off that box.
  20. Yes, it seems the EL have different rules to the PL. They can 'sign' riders and loan them out, and call them assets. In the PL you need the rider to complete the right number of meetings and the right home/away mix, before you can call them an asset. Not right, but it is the way it works. I replied before Mr S Badge, to let you know rather than read the twaddle that he would give you about the validity of the system, being unlawful and not working.
