Even with a hefty team building limit, would anyone really sign say porsing or palm toft on a 6+ average?

I have every sympathy for those with a real reason to catch the flu/get cancer, but if a speedway rider is "sick" its in his hands to get better. See how ludicrous that sounds. Depression is an illness, it doesnt discriminate between rich and poor, sportspeople or tradesmen, young or old. Some people can get through it on their own, other s do with support from others, some never escape it. All deserve our sympathy and support. I would imagine that certain drugs would preclude the rider from racing if consumed within a certain time period prior to the meeting. Otherwise I dont see any argument that someone depressed is more likely to try and harm other ridersthan any other - tgere is no ban on riders who has just broken up with his girlfriend, have a fiery temper etc.

Id imagine the equipment outlay of a darts player to be somewhat less than a soeedway rider, with a much longer career possible and far less risk of severe injury

Charles wright? Surely it wouldnt be in the spirit of the draft to allow you to pick him up in exchange for smart?!?

Id imagine the intention behind wildcards is in case someone like tai missed the semis with injurt, and an assumption that performance be given to the eighth place riders unless there was a compelling reason otherwise. Personally id give to kennett and lambert, otherwise nielsen. Bates as under 21 champ has some case as well, but given his performance in his semi id go with two of the first three.

Tl Only two teams started this season with two riders over eight, and one of them is struggling. The issue seems to be that brum and leicester couldn't afford a top number one rider, so all your suggestion would have done is meant batch and bjerre may not have got a club and the el would be weakened. Tbere are always going to be weak and strong tesms, its the nature of sport. That doesnt alter tge fact that third ( and weaker top and second) hl are likely to drop averages due to tougher heats, regardless of ridind at 1 3 or 5?

Yes true. But almost everyone who post s this adds that it is so he can be fitted into the team for the playvoffs. Hopefully tonight will have answered this, but guarantee next time he has an off night half a dozen people will mention it again.

That's my point. there is enough genuine stuff without making things up. Just makes people look paranoid and half brained.

Poole by ten from here I reckon thougg

Its sticky ref. I can see the damp rising out of the track from here (im in new zealand)

Jesus wept why do people keep saying this? Please explain how holder reducing his average helps poole?

That was my first thought, but one of the replays did show him riding past miedzinski

Very true. I certainly aspire to attaining the same immaculate grammar, punctuation and high intellectual level of postings as you.

MAkes sense, i think everyone had assumed he was a troll, just didnt realise it wwas literally

Not neccesarily as when holder was rein s tated on the official poole list their team average was under 32 . It is the latest greensheets with the first average updates for the sesson that outs them over 32

i believe the ruling was that holder was in for a minimum 28 days, not maximum. but poole are now over 32 points in the latest greensheets, meaning that if holder is part of a re-declared team, ward can only replace him if he has a lower average than holder.

it was a one liner, and a pretty good one. people have jokes online within hours of celbs dying, to take offence at Arson's quip is hyper sensitive IMHO. you'd assume it's all covered by insurance, bar maybe a couple of grand excess, so you'd hardly expect it to put the club under.

i can't understand why he would be allowed as n injury replacement rather than a re-declaration, given his higher avergae. Would this have been allowed if he had put them over the points limit? Regardless, my point remain that there is no benefit to Poole in Holder reducing his average unless he can get it to close to 7, which ould require him scoring 2 or 3 a meeting, which would certainly raise questions.he had a bad meeting, end of (IMHO). The case of missing smart however could do with some ansering. but poole fans are arguing that it wasnt a re-declaration - which no one could have an issue with - but a fixed term injury replacement.

FFS people, paranoid much? if holder's average drops below wards, they can only bring back ward by ditching milik for a three pointer. to subsequently bring holder in, holder would need to get his average down below pawlickis, which if he is to achieve over the next say 6 meetings prior to wards reckon would mean he'd need to score around 3 per meeting or less, . Poole do have history, but in this instance i think its safe to say holder had a bad meeting end of. jeezus, imagine if tai was a poole asset what conspricay theories there'd be... if you want a team bulding plan which could happen, it is that milik gets his average up to over 7 and then gets replaced by the play offs by a dudek/lindback etc.

HOw many times... it is not in pooles interest for holder to drop his average, as potentially it would stop them bringing ward back

So, in a country like NZ where the highlights package has been "taken", the live stream is blocked (it mentions highlights will be available on skytv which is a comment wto years out of date). What we do get is a month or two after a GP, probably not every GP, a highlights package on TV3. Phil - in your view is this a good deal for a NZ based speedway fan? Does the possbility of a highlights package being shown a couple fo months after the event justify blocking the live stream? (i acknowledge the NZ GP is an exception ,shown the folloing day). Is this really an achievement BSI should trumpet? I've sent the same query to BSI, not sure if I will get a response, but would be interested in your thoughts.

Has zagar made it back to manchester yet?

Aces by 6 I reckon

Anyone getting decent streams off any of these? The couple thst play for me keep freezing. Wondering vif its thexstream or my connection

same issue in nz. but if We wait a few weeks we may get somw highlights. great being one of the 100 countries...
