  1. It does raise the age old question of which would fans rather see, a home win or a full strength visiting side? I'm told that since being given the fixtures in March, BV have been asking for a date change, but Graham Drury has consistently refused as he would rather take advantage of weaker opposition to get the points. Do Brummies fans agree with the judge that the points are the priority, or would they rather see full strength opponents but with the fear that they would likely lose to a full team?
  2. Ben Barker guesting for Howarth. It'll be R/R for Thorssell
  3. A fine, points deduction and not allowed to call off a meeting for 2 years without the permission of an SCB track inspector. Has to be the same for King's Lynn.
  4. It is another qualifying rider. Shouty and Kelv don't know the rules
  5. Morris should have been excluded there for not making a bona fide attempt.
  6. Having read quite a few threads, I think I can explain his Modus Operandi for you. It seems to be look for anyone posting something in any way positive, and post the opposite to try to cause argument. e.g. Someone suggests land for a track near housing - Post negatively saying it's no good near housing because local people will complain Someone suggests land for a track not near housing - Post negatively saying it's no good away from housing because local people can't come. Think it's called "trolling" I say good luck to Cradley with their track near housing, and good luck to Bristol with their track not near housing. May both work out successfully.
  7. Why is it a joke? So long as all the matches are completed by the end of the season, and a team are crowned Trophy winners, then everything has been done as planned. How is that a joke? However if you're suggesting that the National Trophy competition could be planned in a different, and better way, then I may be inclined to agree with you. For example maybe the matches should all be staged early season, with a deadline of perhaps June for completion, And then second week in July is designated at National Trophy Final week (This Final date being known at the start of the season). If you were suggestng something like that then I would say that is a better way to do things. But just branding something a joke for no reason, when it is just doing what it says on the tin, is silly
  8. This seems a sensible view. The result seems to be:- 0.36% of the BSF membership want to see attendance figures published. 0.17% of the BSF membership don't want to see attendance figures published. 99.48% of the BSF membership couldn't give a monkeys whether attendance figues are published. Now, the people running the clubs know what their attendance figures are, and anyone who needs to know can be given access to those figures. So a better question might be:- "What exactly do the 54 people who want attendance figures to be published think would be the benefit of such a practice?" I can't think of one single benefit the sport would gain from making such information available to the general public. I think that the only reason these people want attendance figures made public is for their own personal nosiness and not for any benefit to the sport.
  9. It's been 7 years, the winners may have died by now. Durrrr, that's the point. The numbers were posted 7 years ago, and we still don't know who won!
  10. I'm sure the details of the current trustees and comittee members (and all the changes over the past 10 years) can be found on the superb [sic] Speedway museum website, along with the secret admission prices.... ...or maybe not. p.s. Who won the raffle?
  11. That didn't happen! It doesn't happen. It can't happen. Don't be silly!!!!
  12. Since you're on the inside, can you tell us, how many of the engines used today will be measured?
  13. I suspect you're very deluded or at least naive as to what goes on in Poland.
  14. 1. Who's bitter? 2. What did I expect? Realistically a battle for 3rd like we're getting 3. Who knows what would happen with a level playing field and everyone on legal machinery?
  15. Harris made a good start and didn't put a wheel wrong, but he's only on a 500cc, and a 500cc can't compete with the Barry McGuigans than Emil and the Poles have.
  16. We're only using 500cc engines. Can't compete with those bigger ones the Poles have.
  17. Are you experiencing Groundhog Day? That's the same crap 1980s-style website that we commented about in the post above.
  18. Any chance we can have Pearson drug tested and thrown out of the final?
