  1. The councillor woman now says there is no news announcement, it's more a request for help.
  2. Where on earth are you getting that from? If 30% of tests were positive that would be nearly one out of every three. Where and who are all the other positive tests then?
  3. When Leicester lost at Peterborough on 7 September, their Premiership season was over. No more Premiership meetings. When Leicester Cubs won at Belle Vue on 8 September and defeated Workington at home on 9 September it meant Belle Vue could no longer make the NDL play-off, so the final would be Leicester v Oxford. From that point (9 September) Leicester had to run a play-off final.... 1 meeting.... 52 days to do it in... over 7 weeks..... nearly 2 months of a 7 month season left.... How the hell did they fail?
  4. If I wanted someone to put 2 points on their average around NSS I'd be looking at Palm-Toft on 5.13 before Eliis.
  5. and Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, and Grub.
  6. Erm, this entire thread is about Phil Morris's evidence to the Coventry Stadium inquiry in which he said it was likely that a new track completely new to Speedway would be coming into the leagues next season. What on earth do you think we've been discussing for the last 4 pages?
  7. That was laying a new track in an existing stadium. That's doable in the time. But building from scratch like say Workington would be a tough ask between now and April.
  8. That would conflict with Phil Morris's statement that it's a completely new venue for speedway But I can't see something being built from scratch between now and April, so I'd guess there must be some existing stadium for other sport that just needs a track putting in.
  9. Is it true that the Sheffield medals are inscribed "To whom it may concern" ?
  10. It was just like the film "The Magnificent 7" Richie Hawkins grew a silly moustache to look like Eli Wallach and plan a daring raid. And Sheffield hired 7 random mercenaries to do the fighting for the simple village folk.
  11. Freeman was riding as a guest for Greg Blair. His average is below Blair's so perfectly legal. Don't have to be in a 1-7 unless guesting at No1
  12. Interesting that in his evidence to the Coventry Stadium appeal enquiry, Phil Morris mentioned a new stadium "completely new to Speedway" potentially coming in next year. Anyone got any information?
  13. That was Ben Barker's case. Nothing to do with Boxall or Worrall.
  14. An employee of this company https://racoo.co.uk/
  15. Considering the action the SCB have taken against Tom Brennan, Jye Etheridge, Mark Phillips, etc. recently, I'm surprised Vinnie Ford was allowed to stay in the meeting. Presumably a "cash penalty" heading his way?
  16. A good close match. The missing Belle Vue heat leaders meant Workington were in it right to the end. With 4 heats to go it looked like they might nick it, but the Colts engine room performed. Should be another good one in the return tomorrow.
  17. Morris didn't provide a sample for testing. He was charged with ‘Failing to provide a Specimen’. The rules then say:- * 08.2.1 Testing Procedure i) A refusal to undergo Anti-Doping testing will be regarded for the purpose of application of penalties, identical to a positive test. So his refusal to provide a specimen was treated the same as a positive test and he got the minimum 2 year ban.
