Barry The Cat

Congratulations to Phil, Speedway GP gain is certainly British Speedway's loss.

Shame our Captain couldn't bring himself to wave the Union Jack like the rest of his team mates on the parade truck! Fair play to Rosco, Stead's inclusion was justified

Is Wayne still deep in negotiation with the blue chip headline sponsor of the league? That would be finger licking good Colonel!

That's elementary my dear Watson!

Kennett was asked but declined.

My apologies I meant Pavlic. Old age does terrible things with the mind. Have amended post.

When the Ukranian lad failed to secure permission to ride in the challenge. BSPA were asked to nominate a rider for number 18 jacket Kennett and 1 other Brit both declined. Harris accepted. Pavlic the number 17 then produced a sick note so Barker accepted second reserve spot and Harris moved to 17. When Zagar withdrew Harris was promoted to meeting proper even though pavlic tried the I am much better now trick. So yes massive stroke of luck for Bomber to get into field in first place but at the end if the day he did the business on the track on the night and earnt his right to be there by the rules of the competition. So why don't we accept this bit of luck and back the guy, it's great to have two Brits in the field. Love for him to prove knockers wrong and get in top 8. He's working with a new team behind scenes which just could help him back to more consistent performances that we know he is capable of.

Rebels team building plans will have to change as Brady Kurtz won't be a 3 pt, with his decision not to be a Brit and prior Danish Exp! 5 point PL average and no NL place with Cradley

So as expected Middlo has quit as team manager, two people in frame to replace him, current deputy Morris or Gary Havelock.

All very nice look and feel to the website! But I wonder if the content will be as smart - re-hashing offIcal stuff and trawling through social media for stories might appeal to some. But I wouldn't risk paying £20 upfront as I am not convinced it will get to edition 2 let alone 4.

Can't say I am shocked or surprised by Darcy's actions. However I am staggered that Middleditch said that to the press. I would suggest his promoter very quickly distances himself from that viewpoint. Surely Middleditch's future as Team GB boss is in the balance as well?

And too think Middlo went against the majority of the team and management set up and chose Bridger over Danny King.

Even bigger problem with Kennett and Bridger!
