  1. Hmm, he might miss a bit more than that.
  2. http://www.exacteditions.com/shop.do;jsessionid=C5E457331DFF15141E4C07FA5B4D36A4 Yes, it's available from the above, you have to pay a subscription. Press the sports section for details.
  3. I think they probably have to have a "don't bite the hand that feeds you" approach. It certainly pays to be on good terms with any potential sources of information. I'm enjoying my on line version to be honest. I think if it tried to become a scandal mag. Or something other than what it is, it would probably decline in it's appeal. It might be interesting to read Philip Rising's reaction.
  4. If you Google "oxford council cuts" you'll soon see why they couldn't afford it, and certainly not unless they had a guaranteed buyer ready to pass it on to (extremely unlikely).
  5. Because land increases in value and the current ruling doesn't mean that more development applications can't be made. What you probably really mean is, "why can't wishful thinking come true"?
  6. Would you really prefer it if he'd left things as they were? This is a win-win situation for both clubs. British Speedway and a fair number of aspiring riders.
  7. I think if we got rid of the current silencers and used something that allowed a wider and more controllable power band, riders would feel more confident, even on some of the more dubious tracks. The current silencers are responsible for many of the nasty injuries that have occurred over the last few years, there always were dodgy tracks but serious injuries were much less frequent pre the existing silencers.
  8. Foamfence will be the one foaming with disappointment come october. I won't, because I really don't care. But the idea of joining a league, is to try and win it, or at least be competitive. Glasgow seem to have taken anyone who is available. Fair enough, you might have some promising lower order riders, but they won't win matches. The trouble starts when you look at the top of the shop. Optimists might well point to the potential, if all the oldies ride to their best, personally I doubt that they will. The above was the post. I don't care if I'm the one foaming come October. I don't see what that has to do with your previous post. I made no remarks about any club closing or anything to do with any club closing (I lost my own club Halifax, decades ago). Tomorrow I might say a team looks like being serious challengers or I might say another doesn't (they can't all win the league).
  9. That remark was in reply to someone suggesting that I would be "fuming with disappointment by October". I don't really care if Tigers finish top, bottom, middle or whatever. Nothing like taking a remark out of context (or deliberately misunderstanding it) is there? I appreciate the problems that they've had but I still think the team is uninspiring. Am I not allowed to say that?
  10. Personally, I would have ignored it, had I been a Tigers supporter. It's still a very uninspiring line-up to me.
  11. Judging by the number of replies, it seems a lot of people care! Even you had to have a little go. It's just that I was astonished when I saw the Tigers line-up. When you look at most of the others, it doesn't look good. Fair enough if you're happy with it.

  13. What a shyte team! Would you like the wooden spoon now, or would you prefer an end of season ceremony?
  14. I think the team looks weaker than some of the previous line-ups. Time will tell.
  15. I've enjoyed my online version so far and there have been plenty of current topics and announcements. I'd hate to see it go under, so I like to keep offering my support. I don't know if anything has changed with the history/nostalgia stuff but I'm finding it more absorbing than in previous versions.
  16. I'm pleased Tai won it and hope he and Bomber finish in the top two positions in the 2014 GPs, but I think the very idea of a minority sports award is ridiculous, you might as well hand out trophies for entering an event. It's as daft as the black police officers association or these music awards that nobody can quite explain what the boundaries are. Sorry for putting a negative spin on it, I know how you like to dream up these obscure questions to start a thread, but to be honest I don't give a **** what awards he gets, as long as he enjoys what he does and is successful.
  17. Who cares about him? He had the chance to ride as a Brit but chose against it, so stuff him. Anyway it'll give him more time to devote to his off-track nocturnal habits.
  18. Not that I know of, but Philip did say there might be a few late notifications which were too late for the printed version.
  19. I have used it from day one, I like it, it's easy to navigate and read and you can go back a few previous issues if you want. I use it on my PC though and haven't tried it on anything else.
  20. It's a solid looking line-up. Lawson is a brilliant capture and Crang is a great prospect. None of the other five have exactly been moving up much in recent seasons. I think I would have left Wilko out, he falls off far too often and turns up with substandard equipment at times. Good luck to the Bears though, probably a mid-table side.... Prove me wrong! :-)
  21. Well done Bomber! Two Brits in the GP! Great stuff! They BOTH have my full support.
  22. Any help is better than none! What you describe can happen to any rider in any league. Anyway I won't argue the point, I'm too sickened off with all the negative attitudes on here.
