  1. Doesn't apply to riders with assessed averages
  2. They may well have asked, but it doesn't get over the problem that he is not eligible.
  3. Yes, but I'm pretty sure we are [rightly] in special dispensation territory here. After all if Poole had managed to make it to the tapes for the KO Cup Sheffield (and Tai) would already have ridden, just like every other team. I would expect a 100% guest (105% at home) for 28 days. That would make Dan Bewley the obvious choice for Thursday
  4. Birmingham were lucky there wasn't a Croatian Championship meeting tonight. πŸ˜‰
  5. There is seating in the bar, and although upstairs, there are lifts. Obviously the best seats get snapped up early. If parking at uni part there is a shuttle bus.
  6. No one commercial grounds the Premiership semis will be B Vue v Sheffield and Ipswich v ... ... Poole
  7. It's only a couple of minutes to the previous stop, walk there to beat the queues.
  8. Dry but rainfall radar suggests the heavy rain I drove through to get here may arrive soon. Tou h and go I'd say
  9. You'll never get planing permission without a traffic management plan - so ultimately it is.
  10. So no Craig Cook! https://www.leicesterspeedway.com/News/Details/5709
  11. Henning Loof rode several times last season on the Island and Iwade
  12. Well I suppose one former Yugoslavian Republic looks much like another ... 😜
  13. His best three performances last year were at Workington, Redcar and Glasgow - all tracks with reputations for good racing - so is KL the right place for him?
  14. Last year it was top 4 from previous year (+ hosts) seeded, so on that basis GB and Finland should also be seeded. While the presence of Croatia is bonkers the lack of a host pair is equally bizarre.
  15. For a contrary view I usually turn first to the Foreign Newsdesk - all the contributors do a great job and I'd happily see them given more space. I agree with you that it's rare to find a rider interview that is genuinely illuminating and that given the circumstances the Star does well to keep going.
  16. 'Colin Ackroyd'! Is a loan to a Speedway promotion within the terms of the charity's aims and objectives as stated in the governing document?
  17. Not the case. As this report shows the casino operators were tired of CO prevarication and simply found another site. https://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/news/13396818.speedway-plans-collapse/
  18. 2.30pm would be better - just that little extra time to get to Berwick
  19. Have sent 2004 (not 05 as previously posted)
  20. I have 2005 and can send you them
  21. A contestant on 'Britain's Biggest Fraudster'
  22. Norwegian born riders Most Seasons in the UK Reidar Eide 15 Lars Gunnestad 10 Edgar Stangeland 10 Sverre Harrfeldt 8 Oyvind Berg 7 Odd Fossengen 7 Dag Lovaas 7
  23. Certainly a factor, although that may be more of the reason bookies were not rushing to get involved. I think historically it is more to do with the 'gentleman's club' environment of speedway's administrators [The ACU was set up by the Royal Automobile Club to administer motorcycle sports]. There were a series of unlicensed meetings at Lea Bridge in 1932 where betting was allowed but it didn't catch on. See: https://www.speedwayresearcher.org.uk/leabridge.html
