I think the biggest worry is the attitude of some so called fans who post on this forum. Do you have a divine right to be top of the league every year then? Where I live I'd be grateful for a team to support; unfortunately they closed a long time ago. Some people wouldn't recognise a good thing if it got up and slapped them in the face with a wet fish. This time last year the majority who post were moaning about the signing of Joe Haines; whistling a different tune now then? This looks like a team that will deliver the home wins with the potential to develop and pick up points away from home. I'd consider that a result considering the current economic woes in this country; but my view is as irrelevant as all the negative posts that are on here; what really matters is what happens on the track form March onwards.

Reading this post and some of the others posted one wonders why any decent rider would wish to race for Sheffield, another winter of mealy mouthed negative b'stards constantly slagging the promotion and the team that is being put together. I bet they are really motivated by this quality support.... Not

I've resisted commenting this year on team building as it just turns in to a negative bun fight. When all of the team are announced it may be possible to take a view; but you'll only know once the racing starts. However describing Hoggy as "bumbling" did make me laugh; I've meeting him on a few occasions at Owlerton and "bumbling" isn't a description that sprang to mind. Have you ever thought to have a chat to him one Thursday to suggest he's a bumbling individual?

I can't recall reading anywhere that Ashworth has a history of breaking his word or causing problems during contract negotiations. Away from the track he appears to quietly get on with that side of things in an uncontroversial way. Throughout my life I've discovered empty vessels do make the most noise and those who point the finger at others usually do so because they don't want closer scrutiny of their own actions.

This meeting did get better as the night went on with some cracking racing towards the end. I guess the riders had got used to what is not the easiest of places to get around by the latter heats. What was very disappointing was the extremely small crowd that attended. Despite all the waffle I have read on this forum about the sport not supporting young British talent and something should be done about it; it is clear that the great British speedway following public don't care about youth either. If there was 500 people in attendance I have probably exaggerated the figure by 40%! This was a British Final with a worthy winner and on balance a reasonable evening entertainment; it really did deserve more support.

Your usual one liner I see, has someone taught you the broken record technique or is it your natural style for dealing with people who have the audacity to post views that differ to your own? I don't recall any of your posts that could be called a contribution to reasoned debate; most have been nasty and unnecessary little one-line put downs. You are indeed the junkmeister; congratulations!

I understand from a well informed source that the BSPA will be making an announcement about when it likely they will make an announcement about the continued rumours and speculation about the announcement of the announcement. Or if that doesn't help try rearranging these words: "topic paint is this boring dry watching now as as"

It either is or it isn't? Is the BSPA constituted to make decisions on a democratic basis e.g. one member one vote with a simple majority carrying the decision? If it is constituted in this way then it is democratic and all the tea in China will not change that fact. Unless of course you know a different sort of maybe not entirely type of democracy that isn't defined as democracy except on forums such as this?

This post nicely sums up the arrogant stance taken by some supporters. The BSPA are bullying nobody; if you don't like the decisions made by the majority apply the old accounts rule FIFO! You need to read up on what a democracy is. While it sounds like it will be good news if Coventry are back in the EL I do hope that the BSPA has/does not sell itself down the river to achieve a result.

Dictionary Corner Extrapolate: to infer (something not known) by using but not strictly deducing from the known facts i.e. making it up as you go along!

Can't be bothered reading all the threads to catch up (had time out). Am I correct in assuming that there is still no official news or unofficial news (from official channels) and that all is still as it was prior to this latest thread? i.e. Coventry still banjaxed but in denial; Peterborough banjaxed but know it? Therefore all of the posts made are just extrapolations of early posts and are based on no facts whatsoever?
