Am I the only one baffled by all this talk about Woffinden on the Somerset thread?! I would have thought there would be more discussion/concern/interest in Jack Holder's condition?!

Their problem is making 'knee-jerk' decisions and not communicating them to the people it directly affects - as well as the fans. Nothing wrong with the decisions - just wrong in the timing and implementation. Anything affecting a rider's livelyhood should give suitable notice.

I can see those NKI and JD-branded fly swatters going down a storm!!

Can we expect a new SGP in Turkey in 2019 then?! Or are the tyres going to be so different that all riders will be stuffed?!

Matt's been keeping a close eye on his progress since he brought him over for the Blue Riband at the end of 2016. He was still studying at that time and wanted to complete all those studies before commiting full-time to Speedway.

Bill Glass's back pocket?! (Thats a question not a statement!!?)

Also announced via the R.E.F. Twitter, the next R.E.F. night on March 7th will feature the SCB's Neil Vatcher and SCB Referee Christina Turnbull. ps. there is a video (courtesy of Speedway Portal) link on the Pirates website of interviews with Linus, James and Matt Ford.

You don't have to 'elevate him above all others'! He's the World Champion so he has pretty much elevated himself above all others. Isn't that what being World Champion is?! And to have him at any event will surely generate greater positivity than if he wasn't!

Weeks old - mainly to make the annual accounts look a bit better.. At some point the website might be updated?!

Who said anything about jest??!!

Yes - unless the BSPA find some way of refusing any of the announced 1-7s!!!?

What you omit to mention is that Lynch was also heavily involved in selecting or recommending this coming season's 1-7, before being chopped - all because Vaculik said he wanted Stead!!!

I've noticed quite a few old bikes in or near the pits at several tracks!!!! Not sure about riding around the track though?!

I see Cook's main sponsor - CFS - has become main title sponsors of Swindon!!!!

What? like when he scored 13 for KL before the fateful parting of the ways the following night?!

Terms agreed with Wolves and (with Wolves permission) Poole!! But as has been stated the 8 point rule scuppered any initial team-building plans.

Congrats to Derek and Val of CFS Filtration, the new title sponsors of Swindon Robins - nice people!!

So is KK but we all know what happened there!!!

'Document Unavailable'!! I really can't understand how people can complain about the 'image' whether created by a computer geek or not?! Its being commissioned and paid for by the Stadium 'owners' who are primarily Greyhound operators and who will build a facility primarily for the Greyhound fraternity. Speedway rents the stadium and will have to accept whatever facilities - new or old - that are going to be there. The only way a covered grandstand with seating and possibly some terracing is gonna happen is if Speedway cough up some dosh or have sufficient negotiating skills to 'force' the Council to put pressure on the Stadium owners to build something suitable!! That applies to any stadium - not just Swindon - where Speedway merely rents the facilities. To be fair the creation of any additional structures can only help 'deaden' any potential noise issues from outside.

Pickering is Aussie!! But it will be Shanes.

So Thursday then?!

I think Matt will wait for the Echo to get the Chelsea v AFC match preview and report out of the way (Weds/Thurs) before announcing Shanes!!

Maybe there are a few more additives around these days that take the smell away??!!

Gdansk.

Woryna was there for all teams to sign as 'an asset at the tail end of last season'! Poole - not for the first time - got there first, despite all the conjured-up dislike between Ford and Horton!!
