A ORLOV

It may just be like last season when they announced certain meetings and added others nearer the date.

If they do not test all at each GP, they should pick a number at random for the qty to be tested, then numbers again for the individual riders to be tested.

No, when we came over in the long boats we spent all our time raping and pillaging.

That appears to be The Oxford Dictionary definition of the use of a or an.

According to Speedway GP Swindon, Poole and Leicester have been cleared to re-apply for sponsor licences.

This petition is not just for speedway and has been signed by people who follow all forms of motor sport.

The use of the legal definition of "reasonable" is a minefield, and what is reasonable to one person is not reasonable to another. With the building of the houses close to the old stadium, without any industrial buffer, prior to the new one being built, there could be an individual who causes problems. I hope that this does not happen. The club may need to consider the offer of free or discounted entry to any new house owners, as it should only be an issue till Oct 2015. You never know but the club may get some new long term supporters.

Skippy has been reported to have stated that he is hopping mad

If they did start up at PL or NL level I am sure some fans would travel from Swindon especially when we have a two or three week gap between our meetings.

They are waiting for a prison cell and and transport to it to become available before they announce the outcome.

Thanks tyke, can see some logic in that they are seen to be "performing" for the paying public. Under that premise It will stop them riding in any planned testimonials unless they are given clearance to do so as a one off.

I see that some of the problems with non eu riders commented on was, as well a doubling up and guesting, was their practicing riding in second halves etc., which seems strange as they would not have been employed for that practice or paid by the club. I have noted that some of the riders effected are listed to ride in a testimonial, will that now be allowed ?

Do not know if this has already been mentioned but the clubs will attend the workshop this friday with the UKVI to work towards a resolution.

The riders from The Yemen, Zambia and Zimbabwe have no chance this season.

Some highly paid Civil Service flunky saw the request from the government that applications had to be sent in envelopes, manilla, so he set up a large uk govt processing department in Manilla.

If any rider wants to double up/down the team send in that request in their team line up and the bspa authorise that option. It is up to the bspa to be aware that a non eu rider cannot ride for a second employer.

Agree, if the visiting team is a bit naff or the weather iffy or the sky match was between two good teams, many more would stay at home and watch what is being shown.

Will that be before or after the BSPA have been on a course to learn how to put together a readable, clear, statement.

Nick Morris has duel nationality and does not need a visa.

I am sure this topic will end as soon as the FIM result is known, so those above are going off on a tangent

Black and Decker or Wolf ?

If the heading for this thread is changed to 2015, as it is a very useful and appreciated topic, Sky first EL coverage 2015 Kings Lynn - Lakeside March 31st.

Same question has been asked on the Swindon thread, with ref to Charles Wright it depends who he is an "asset" of, but I think he will be at your meeting.

At Swindon they have used the sheets available for sky meetings and it took hours, and when taken up they have to be removed from the track because of the dog racing. The only practical method is to have covers on wheels like they have at cricket matches which can be wheeled into place by a couple of people, but the problem then is where do you store them as you cannot leave them on the centre green, also at most tracks you have a narrow gate leading out to the track. This method would enable fewer people to deal with the covers, but they are expensive, difficult to move about and store. You still need to find and call in volunteers, possibly on a non race day to put them out.

All seems to have changed Matt but rules not published yet, someone will have to ask Rosco on thurs night, Jan 29th. at the Supporters Club AGM.
