Someone like Len Silver who has no vested interest

I agree, in these circumstances the final league table has no value in deciding the champions. If we go by Mr Shovlar's reports as truthful and accurate, then a decision has to be reached as to whether or not Leicester is likely to be capable of staging this match within a reasonable timescale (I suggest that by 31 October is adjudged to be "reasonable"). This would require an independent assessment to be carried out by a person of relevant expertise appointed by the SCB for this as a one-off task and for his decision to be final. Such assessment would need to be carried out and completed by no later than 9.00 am on Saturday. If he decides the Leicester track is unfit, and to be in such a state that, with likelihood of further rain across the next few days (i.e. until 31 Oct), then Leicester would have to declare their stadium as unavailable for use for the foreseeable future, and would be obliged to seek an alternative venue to stage the match within a timescale specified by the SCB, failing which the championship would be awarded based on the result of the completed first leg at Poole.

Presumably you're going to share this picture with us?

If start times of matches were changed to 9pm he'd be a world beater. Must be a vampire

Wolves could use a few changes, freshen things up a to bit. Is Tai Woffinden going to be back in the UK next season?

Breaking news..... Kwasi Kwarteng to take over as Chair of BSPL......

Bad jokes are not "laughable". Neither are jokes which you've heard so many times, are just plain embarrassing. In neither of these cases, does the person telling the "joke" realise it to be the case, and so keeps on doing the same thing, over and over, until he's still performing but everyone's long since gone away and found other things to do

Gives Kyle Howarth more time for his aches and bruises to heal and get fit again.

Dressed in black and wailing & weeping at the bill

Complete nonsense to cancel events except for yesterday and the funeral day. Why cancel the last night of the Proms? Stage it as a tribute, cancelling is costing the BBC (i.e. license payers) a bomb. The World's a very different place now, why are customs employed in an age gone by, being applied now? What are people going to do - draw the curtains and sit at home in the dark for two weeks?

Yes indeed you would need to. And it probably doesn't require much by way of additional factor/s to tip the balance over the edge with these type of occurrences.

Peterboro track being oval shape and flat, does it exert stress on these tyres which take them beyond their tested limits, so maybe should not be used there and instead provide Mitas tyres ?

Has the time come to just regard the two leagues as separate entities, with slightly differing rider eligibility criteria and different sets of race nights?

Seems to be too rigid on the bike this season, like he's trying to arm-wrestle it and perhaps this makes him less capable of making those split-second adjustments you need to do for passing.

I had a PE teacher (a long, long time ago) who "encouraged" us to climb over, jump across, run faster, etc. by promising to give some "TLC" to anyone lacking in effort and ability. This was followed by the brandishing of a large plimsoll shoe (these were the predecessors of trainers) with "TLC" written on the sole. I think he later became quite a prominent basketball coach, so it didn't do his career any harm, unfortuntely.

Fair enough, so it sounds like Mr Dickson has a project on his hands, I wonder if he will succeed?

Back in the good old days you'd have riders put up against each other in second halves or even in match races to decide who would be given the last team place. If Connor Coles and Max Clegg were put into such a situation, I'd have to say that Clegg would be the winner

Why is the Birmingham team manager only capable of using football manager-speak from the 1980's? Is he stuck in the past, or is he actually Ron Atkinson using a pseudonym?

I think the appropriate word begins with a w rather than a b

Employment terms and conditions such as these couldn't even be made up by Jacob Rees -Mogg. I suspect the last paragraph applies to the performances of Bjarne Petersen during his brief time with the Lions.

Very astute - although what would be the basis for the 28 day guest facility? Rowe doesn't seem to be witholding his services, but if he is, then he's going to be unable to ride for a few weeks and he'll be wanting to start with s new club asap. There must be some other facility Leicester will be making use of.

If I was a Brummies fan, the bit in that club statement about not wanting to get on the wrong side of Adam Ellis (because yer never know, he might return or even come back as a guest) would have been the straw that broke the camel's back for me. Not because I'd hold any grudge against Ellis, but because I'd feel like I'd had sand kicked in ma face.

Should be available for the playoffs. For Plymouth, though.

"The coming season" in this case refers to Easter. It does not mean the speedway season.

I think the problem is Tuesday when he is due to be riding for both Dackarna and Birmingham.
