I have not missed a home meeting since 1981....!!

Not much interest in this meeting then.....?

Latest Weather based on Meteo charts. Well, chance of light rain from around teatime (5pm) then chance of Thunderstorm around early evening (7pm to 9pm) Could get interesting!!

So another week with fine weather slips by without BEL Speedway on the tellybox... Why so erratic TV coverage at the business end of the season? Perhaps FLAGRAG can enlighten us? Weather set fair Monday, Tai back at Wolverhampton... Why no Speedway?

Question, who deals with all this? Well......... I agree, surely that's the job that "Go Speed" SHOULD be doing anyway??? But he's happy with his 100 grand fee from BSPA for talking to Sky? A case of "I'm all right Jack" springs to mind... Huge clearout required at the top...

Yes, I suppose I could have asked for the world's best 1-7, just trying to make it more interesting..!

The young today aren't interested in cuddly animals, soda streams, brevilles and family friendly, safe stuff.... They like danger, risk, loud, close to the edge... Borderline illegal stuff..

Ok, perhaps I didn't make it clear... Even though this meeting is on the Moon, the riders still have to be alive and currently racing on Earth, so a 1-7 from Earths current riders, no R/R, no guests from Mercury or Pluto, no iffy bikes, just regular Peter Johns rocket ships....... Try again!!

If that's the case, then NKI picks up a 28 day ban, surely??

Ok, so we are taking on Mars in the first Intergalactic Speedway Test Match.. It's being played out on the new circuit, which is situated on the Moon.. The track offers A pretty much even race track, there's something on it for gaters, outside line blasts and kerb crawelers.. Who would be in your Earths teams 1 to 7 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7)

BUT Poland and Sweden are now running multi-nights now, so why now should we kowtow to a single night??

With NKI not being available for tonight, and the German being banned, I really can't fathom what you could have done/contrived/manipulated team wise.... A lot of critics tonight over the KL team, but what else could have been done without NKI copping a 28 day ban......?

If Woffinden has 2 to 3 poor meetings, is it possible he could ride himself into a reserve slot for the play-offs??

Could Tai represent Wolverhampton at the ELRC?

TAI(L) WAGGING THE DOG OR WOLF!!!!!

Yup, he should have known as well!!! (The rider) The ref certainly knew..... Do you reckon Rob Lyon tried to pull a fast one? Hoping the ref wouldn't know (perhaps nothing could have been done) so went for it with Kai, just in case the ref didn't know.........

Is that the biggest BEL winning score this year?

Surely Rob Lyon would have known about the weeks ban from the German governing body?? Crikey!!

How do you do quotes properly?????

That's a bit of a drubbing!! What's cracked off with the Germans then......?

I don't think you have grasped what I mean, that might be my fault, so here is what I mean... The base of the air fence, currently has nothing in it, it's held in place by hooks onto the mesh fence or similar, what I mean is in the base of the air fence, have a layer of wet sand, that will hold the fence down, not lock it to the track, but enough to make the resistance path up and into the meat of the air fence, not under it....

That crash is on one of the "crashes and cock ups" tapes that I have.... Colin Cook was an absolute racer, never gave in, and flourished at Leicester, I used to follow him up the A47 after meetings most Tuesdays when I lived in the posh end of Leicester!! He was also a rider I could talk to eye to eye as I am vertically challenged as well!! He was always a crowd pleaser, in a time when speedway in the UK had a proper season, mid March to the end of October....

If a top GP rider can at the end of the Polish/Swedish leagues that haven't made Their respective play-offs, sign for an BEL club for the play-offs, then yes, we do need a rule to stop that route to strengthening up for the play-offs... A transfer window mid season could be implemented that would allow teams to strengthen up, however, I would also allow special dispensation for a club to bring in riders outside the window to replace injured riders....

If he signs for an EL club for the play-offs, it will be a prime case of "THE TAI(L) WAGGING THE DOG" or the WOLF.

Qualifying? Simply introduce a qualifying criteria for racing in the play-offs.... All riders that race in the play-offs, MUST have raced in a minimum of 7 (that's 25%) of the Elite League meetings in that season. (Can have ridden for more than a single team) And not be cup tied in that season. So, come play-offs, if he'd have ridden 3 meetings for Leicester, 2 for Coventry and 2 for Swindon, he could sign, and ride in the play-offs for any of the other qualified clubs.
