THERE are still unsubstantiated rumours floating around that Polish Extraleague meetings will be available on Eurosport this year ...

CANNOT agree that soccer has failed to gain a foothold in the US. May lag behind the big three of NFL, NHL and baseball, but soccer is hugely popular and continuing to grow.

LET'S hope it is not the final SGP of 2022... hardly the venue to crown the World Champion

VERY much doubt that Nicki would consider himself anyone's asset... which, of course, he isn't

THANKS ... will try

CANNOT argue with any of that...

Polywrap is used for lots of applications, from direct mail pieces to magazines and catalogues, and for keeping weekend newspapers and their supplements together. Every week, in fact, millions of polywrapped items make their way into the hands of consumers and businesses. And there’s good reason for that, polywrap is light, strong and weather resistant, making it extremely effective at the task it is required to fulfil. It is also, despite perceptions to the contrary, recyclable. “Polywrap is LDPE [low-density polyethylene] and as such is one of the most easily recyclable materials on the market. The trouble is local authorities don’t want to take it back because it’s so light,” explains Malcolm Atkinson, managing director at Hereford-based flexible films extruder and printer Alfaplas. Unfortunately, the UK’s frankly dysfunctional recycling systems doesn’t help. As the BBC recently reported, across the UK there are 39 different sets of rules in force for plastics recycling. In the absence of a national standard, no wonder end-users are confused about what to do with their polywrap-type waste.

SPOT on...

I REPEAT ... at this stage One Sport aren't involved and there is a very good chance that they won't be. More than evens I would suggest right now.

BSI people work for IMG so they cannot just carry on unless Discovery try and acquire the current team. For the record: Phil Morris is Race Director... he would not be happy being demoted to Clerk of the Course

IT'S certainly not a myth.

IT is pure speculation speculation that One Sport will run the series and even if they did why would they jettison Cardiff which is a proven money-spinner. Also the FIM still have to approve the calendar.

WHO are these Poles you are taking about? The right holders are Discovery ultimately owned by one of the richest companies in the world. The SGP in Warsaw is heavily subsidised by the PZM who use it as a showpiece meeting for Polish speedway and absorb the losses.

WHY do they make things so complicated?

YOU already can although not, I believe, the UHD channels which require a separate BT box ... On December 15 2017, we announced an agreement with BT which means that Skycustomers will be able to include BT Sport as part of their overall Sky subscription for the first time. ... In the meantime, you can still get BT Sport on your Sky box - and you don't need a subscription to BT Broadband to do this.

SEE that Doyle has scored again for Swindon. No rest for the poor lad. Won't be long before he's back on his speedway bike

MOST BSI employees don't hang around for more than two years. They see BSI/IMG as a stepping stone. The exception is Gemma Fordham, an absolute diamond who would be invaluable.

NO actual evidence (at this stage) that One Sport will be involved although the Polish propaganda machine otherwise known as sportowefakty thinks otherwise.

BUSY day... be good to see him recapture his form a few years ago.

WAS just pointing out that it is possible that Jason will race five days on the trot ... and will love every minute of it.

DOYLE has signed for a Danish team

THE interview with Adrian Smith is in Speedway Star this week ...

DOYLE could end up riding Sunday (Poland), Monday (GB), Tuesday (Sweden), Wednesday (Denmark) and Thursday (GB). That's a lot of travel let alone racing even for a workaholic like JD.

YOU presume wrong ... but the company that pulled out cited a lack of resources (money)

SOON ... probably next week (I'll have to ask the Editor!)
