Hull Vikings v BV Aces (1999) is first up!! and then Wolves v Witches (2004) EL play off S/F and next ---- some meeting from 2010 - too painful to watch!! and next the British Final 2013!

Nothing wrong with attending both clubs regularly!! Garry May does it!

Thought Nigel Pearson was co-ordinating Tai's PR?!

Do you include Ben Barker and ....(name your rider).... in that remark?

Fair question - I've had similar problem living in a flat with a mail box on the external front wall, which is not 100% weatherproof!!!

Doyley's Visa approved today!! He's on his way!

Any more news or confirmation about this??

...and anyway this is about what his Tier 5 Visa will allow - and it won't allow both EL and PL!!!

I think Doyley already had contracts sorted abroad - in fact he would still have raced in the Polish/Swedish leagues even if his UK visa application had finally failed. As regards the '20 hours', I don't believe him being an EL Number 1 with Leicester will allow him to do any PL meetings

The 20 hours is supposed to be 'of the same level', ie EL standard only if my understanding is correct.

Helmets don't win meetings - bikes do!!

Part of the issue here is the late announcement of the dates ie after the official cut-off date for all 'international fixtures'!!! There would be nothing to stop more rounds being added by One Sport which could then conflict with a British team entry!!?

.....or to actually attend a meeting!!

Isn't Greg going to ride for Sweden???!!!

All those that are thought more highly of in speedway circles possibly!!

...hence the carefully worded press release that his withdrawal is in part 'injury-related', which will later be further explained as meaning 'still too injured to do a full SGP series, but recovered enough to do a few SEC and Best Pairs meetings'!!! So as ever, money and sponsorship does the talking - who will be the next??

Not forgetting Herbie Hancock too!! IMO I don't believe the money owed by Czestochowa is the whole issue - this is another part of the One Sport/BSI tug of war!!!

Back to the title of the thread - yes BSI are doing plenty to promote speedway in the SGP series - and would probably achieve more if it weren't for the 'new' SEC series!!!!

So despite his fitness issues, will Emil still compete in SEC and Euro Best Pairs events - which start on 28th March??????????

which is why they are looking at the possibilities/feasibilities with a third party developer!!!

Its no secret that Rory had a big falling out re the Aussie WTC team selections in particular, so I don't find it surprising that he might be examining all his future racing options - however and why ever they are motivated!!

I thought this year was the final year of the NZ SGP with the current Promoter?! Maybe why Aussie is being rumoured for 2015 as a possible replacement in the schedule?!

I wonder if Sky will keep any ticket money they get (?), to help offset the 'televised meeting' costs!??

If it goes ahead in Poole, Stadia UK are unlikely to be building it - at least not on their own!!!

...but NOT PROVEN nonetheless!!!!!!
