To be honest, I can't. I would if I could but don't actually understand it myself. There does seem to be some inconsistency here and I can understand supporters concerns. Having watched Harley Horwood race in the 2012 Australian championship and spoken to him and Trent Leverington, who was mechanicing for him, I reckoned that he would be ready for UK PL in 2013. Although I am surprised at his refusal, especially when others similarly able have been accepted, I need more information before being able to comment further. Sorry not to be able to be more helpful

I am the Elite League reserve member. This means that I am only called on if there is an conflict of interest amongst the EL MC members. It also means that I am not entitled to attend MC meetings. Just as well, perhaps

There was no "one club" that vetoed Glasgow's request to be allowed to change its race Day. Those for and against were given the opportunity to state their point of view and then it went to a vote. Although there was sympathy for Glasgow's request, a substantial majority voted for the race day to remain as it is. A bit boring, I know, but that's how it happened.

Please don't twist my words - you asked how my quote was looking, not for my assessment of the last six months.

Pretty good, I would say. In April, I said that, as far as I was concerned, there was no imminent danger of the Tigers folding for financial or any other reasons. Imminent, of course, is defined as "About to happen" and here we are, nearly six months later, with Glasgow speedway still running. Much credit and thanks for this is due to the supporters from Glasgow and elsewhere who dug deep to ensure that the Tigers would keep going.

I don't have many details, but I've had a text from Marcus Williams saying: "Damien Koppe winner, Josh Auty second, then Josh G. Richie Worrall hard done by (not actually the words used!) by ref in semi final. Rider of the night, Tom Perry. Tom made the final"
