spin king

Has actually said he will not ride in this country again? I don't think he has, he has stated that he did not want to ride here so he could keep himself fresh for another go at winning the World title. When he won the title before he rode over here so maybe he will do the same again if he wins the title again. Technically incorrect. This season British Semi Final/ WTC at Kings Lynn, British Final Wolverhampton.

Could you please explain to me what or how you know this is true,

And what they really mean is the BSPA M.C.

Okay I get what you are saying. But why then did the BSPA appoint someone as specialist advicer?

To be honest I would not be surprised to see him retire, but then again I would not be surprised to see him make a comeback after injury. I suppose it depends on how well the injuries he suffered will have healed and if he feels that he can be as dominant on the bike as to whether or not he does decide to call it a day.

Thought I would start the thread for this one. Should be a tough one for us, as we will need to take a big lead to Edinburgh. Hopefully the Promotion will bring in young starlet Brady Kurtz, who appears to have taken a big liking to the Owlerton Bowl. Also hopefully the reserves can score some decent points, and Ash Birks has managed to find some form. Of the Monarchs Cookie, Masters and Wolbert should be very competitive, and I am looking forward to see the young German lad. Prediction time; Sheffield to win, but by a short margin and Edinburgh to take the tie over the two legs.

I was not at the meeting this Thursday, but I am told that the the announcement was made as you have stated. Privately I have my own suspicions and theories as to what has happened, and private is where it will stay.

I would go along with what you are saying, but it is interesting that as well as The Saint not divulging where his sources came from neither does SCB.

Sounds like Stalemate to me.

Could be similarities to Somerset/ Brady Kurtz situation last season when they claimed they were told.

Reading between the lines I get the feeling that there has been some confusion between the rolling averages and the average for rides for this season.

The pay is no problem. You make your riders aware and pay them for the position they gave up. Is that not classed as a backhand payment is that legal?

Sounds easy in principle, but unless you have seen all of the 10 races where he has gained a bonus point which neither you and I have I don't think we can make a judgement. Also should a rider be expected to let his partner through and lose money. Unless you are Ipswich who went against the ruling of paying bonus points.

We can bleat all we want, but it ain't going to change anything. I don't agree with it, and I don't like it, but we move on.

In the Premier League they are not paid for bonus points as from last season, the Promoters took the decision that they were not going to pay for them. Mind you it was said that Ipswich decided to go against the ruling and paid their riders.

I don't think you can take that into account, on occasions he has battled through from 3rd to take a bonus points. End of the day rubbish happens I don't agree with it and I feel for the rider but we move on.

Fair enough.

Fair enough, but what is answer to post 32?

If I did not know that you were going to be out of pocket because any chance we had of winning the league has gone I would say your actually enjoying this.

Putting aside the fact the right or wrongs, and who is dumb and who is not. What happens if a rider is given 60 days to prove themselves and goes out first race and gets injured and does not ride for the duration of the 60 days, would this mean the visa is revoked.

I have to agree totally stupid, surely they should be looking at this over the season and it should calculated at the end of the season's average for that season. Ty has over a 7 point average for meetings this season so far surely that should be enough. I can see this having large repercussions for the sport.

That was said at Ipswich and Rye House when Sheffield went to race there, and we all know what happened. I think it will depend n how tight we can keep the scores throughout the meeting. Either way hopefully both teams can put on a good show and do the Premier League proud.

Should be an interesting match up tomorrow. On paper you would have favour the Scottish Tigers. But it could be that weather might play its part, the Glasgow promotion will move heaven and earth to get this meeting on and if the weather is poor then that usually makes it a leveller for both teams or can even pass advantage to the away team. I think if we can keep it tight from the start we might come away with a win or nick a point, which will be another fine performance for Yorkshire Tigers. May the best team win.

Easy to spot he wears glasses.

Definitely would agree that it was Rye who handicapped by Guest riders. Seems to be a theme running through some of the Scunthorpe fans that they make excuses for any shortfalls big or small.
