Other types of motorsport not governed by FIM!! Newman is no stranger to racing in Europe - he has regularly raced in a number of open individual meetings so is bound to have been 'noticed'!! Not sure that Cook or others have done the same?

Holder won't be riding for anyone unless his visa situation is sorted soon!!!

Then why was he assessed at 6.00 a couple of years ago when Swindon tried to include him in their starting 7??

Despite the fact the programme says 6.26 as he was guesting for Milik. The guesting rider assumes the average of the rider he is guesting for - hence it can only have been a PL converted figure.

Sshhhhh Red Panda - I do drop the occasional red herring, just to see what it produces!! But as they say -There's no smoke without fire!! PS. Great to see Kyle Newman getting signed up in Poland for ZKS Ostrovia!! He's gonna be a busy boy.

....because she is one of a number of sports personalities that run a lot of marathons and charity fun runs - helping to raise money for good causes!! And she did look very presentable - not only on TV but also in several post-event photos with Rory McIlroy, Jake Humphrey, Jo Pavey amongst others - as long as I'm allowed to express that opinion?!

V good intel. Who is your sauce??

That is one of the reasons I asked the question!! The BSPA 'final averages' list states that Birmingham's results have been expunged. That leaves everyone to assume the same applies to their riders' scores.

Still it was good to see her on SPOTY though!

I agree! It was slightly tongue in cheek because I suggested 5.03 when there was a chance Eddie might be riding for Poole - and I had the usual and expected 'Poole bending the rules again' bu**$h*t!!

I can't believe Musielak is on a 7 - unless that's the new assessment for Swedish and Polish Ekstraliga riders.?? If it is true then he presumably comes in as Wolves 2nd heat leader - with the 'only 2 riders 7 points and over'?! (unless that bit is reworded?)

Who says we are not going to?? ps. I wouldn't expect any announcements before Friday at the earliest as all the local sports media interest today/tomorrow is AFC Bournemouth v Liverpool orientated!! Matt announced at the Quiz night on 3rd December that he couldn't fit him in - but that he would have an EL team place somewhere!

What average does Kennett come in on after his Birmingham 2014 scores were expunged?? Converted 2014 PL (8.38x0.6 = 5.03) or previous EL (Swindon 2013 = 6.39)?

Holder.

...but they'd have to negotiate with Coventry for Shamek!!!!

and the BSPA have already had a 4 hour meeting with the UKV&I last month - which apparently got 'quite heated'!!

Crikey, has he been practising to get his average up??!

If they are trying to attract new corporate interest in the sport, do you really expect them to say the sport is up s**t creek - please help us provide a paddle?? Or, 'If you want some background on our wonderful sport, simply look at the BSF'!!!!!!!

Heat leader or new 4-pointer???? Or maybe even both?!

So a performance-enhancing drug is less dangerous than alcohol?! Open to opinion admittedly - as your comments above demonstrate. Just as well the regulations make a difference then!!

She was in camera shot 2 or 3 times - looking very hot imo - Loved it when she stood up to applaud the Ladies Rugby Team trophy winners!!

Its because Holder was virtually 'unemployed' in the UK this year apart from the 28-day facility to cover the injured Darcy Ward early in the season. If I was Matt I'd declare Holder in the team as the higher average of the 2 and then consider a swap if and when DW becomes available. After all DW will need to get some race fitness back before he slots back in so that might be 2-3 months into the season.!!

Half the Polish teams are 'un licensed' at the moment so no surprise they are not being allowed to sign 'untried' foreigners!!! Cook is not the only one struggling to get any interest from Poland.

A bit like Doyle! Oh hang on, no its just Swindon he hasn't ridden for!!

From an outside observer's point of view, speedway's 'senior' league sides should always take precedence when there is a clash. It would make it appear less 'mickey mouse'!!
