  1. Well when this stupid rule was introduced as a knee jerk decision following the whining of a losing team manager* I and many other wise people (including ACU referees) said it was a crazy rule because it placed referees and medical officers in the invidious position of making a subjective decision on what's 'new' and what's 'aggravated' * King's Lynn (oh why is it always King's Lynn?) 4 July 2022 following the withdrawal of Michael Palm Toft
  2. So 'back in play' Due to the actions of the King’s Lynn Promotion by postponing this fixture when facilities were available, and also already being under investigation due to the fixture being postponed in May 2023 From today's adjudication
  3. Sad to note his passing. https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/1123037/tragiczne-wiesci-nie-zyje-andriej-kudriaszow
  4. He's Ukrainian and 17, made a stunning debut at the back end of 2022 and Ekstraliga debut last season. He was one of my top 10 under 21's outside Poland in last season's Cheetahs' Chronicle.
  5. Apart from 21 rides in the six matches she rode in.
  6. Given their line-ups last night wouldn't it be better when Indianerna meet Piraterna to stage it in Krosno rather than Kumla? [Both teams tracked an all Polish top 5 last night]
  7. So wild cards? My preferences would be: Lahti Thomsen Berge Loktaev Nilsson
  8. Polish under 24 league rides on Tuesday. For that reason Swedes hardly ever ride in the U24 league.
  9. Some stats from a recent article: Sweden 2009 2023 Meetings 232 122 Riders 122 48 Youth riders 60 30 Excluding reserves there were only four Swedish regulars in last season's Elitserien: Lindgren, Nilsson, Thorsshell and Berntzon Edit: add Lindback to make 5 as DazS has pointed out
  10. The King's Lynn apologists really need to shut up. They are embarrassing themselves. There is a world of difference between calling off a match 'because I might lose" [yes, some of the KL boosters really used that argument] and because it is likely to piss down.
  11. That was the lower grade SEC qualifyer, which reinforces your point. But he's definitely come on this year. Needs to up his scores for Gdansk though.
  12. I don't get all the angsting here about the Cook's. Both have had the odd bad match, but they are clearly still improving and have turned in Premiership performances that show how good they could be. With Brennan and Hagon out performing expectation I don't think Poole have much to worry about and they can afford to carry Perry (or replacement should they drop him). Add in the fact that all the teams tipped as their main rivals (Glasgow, Oxford, Redcar) are under performing, I'd feel very positive at the moment if I was a Poole supporter.
  13. I went straight to chat CPT: You write me a poem about the speedway grand prix ChatGPT ChatGPT In the heart of the city, beneath the blazing sun, The Speedway Grand Prix roars, the race has just begun. Engines growl and thunder, the air is thick with sound, The crowd is on its feet, adrenaline all around. From the pits they emerge, these warriors of the track, With fire in their eyes and their engines at their back. Each racer in their colors, each bike a flash of chrome, Ready to meet the challenge, no matter what's to come. The starting gates are open, the crowd holds its breath, The light turns from red to green, signaling life or death. The riders twist the throttle, the bikes leap into flight, Tires gripping hard as they veer into the night. Dust and dirt are flying, the smell of fuel is raw, These riders dance with danger, they flirt with every flaw. Around the bends they rocket, no room for doubt or fear, They push the limits always, the victory drawing near. Through the roaring corners, the steel and speed collide, The skill of each contender is tested as they slide. The balance and the timing, the nerve and the control, To master all these forces takes courage and a soul. Each lap is like a lifetime, each second like a day, The race is unforgiving, it never goes halfway. But some will claim the podium, their flags raised in the air, Their hearts beating with glory, their voices filled with flair. Yet beyond the flash and glamour, the speed and all the cheers, The Speedway Grand Prix is where blood and sweat and tears Mix together in a ritual, a test of skill and might, Where riders become legends, where engines meet the night. So here's to all the racers, to the brave and to the bold, To those who live for racing, whose stories will be told. May you ride forever, your spirits strong and free, As long as there are engines, there'll be a Grand Prix. You Can you include a reference to Bartosz Zmarzlik including a couplet that has a rhyme with Zmarzlik ChatGPT ChatGPT In the pack of speeding titans, one name shines bright, Bartosz Zmarzlik, a star cutting through the night. With determination fierce, he takes each daring turn, His skill unmatched, his passion for victory to burn. On his bike he's poetry, a symphony of speed, In his veins, the thrill of victory, the racer's creed. Zmarzlik, the champion, with nerves of steel so true, His legend echoing loudly through the speedway's view. So as the engines roar and the racers fly, Zmarzlik's spirit soars, reaching for the sky. 2 / 2 You What rhymes with Zmarzlik?

  14. 10.2.1: Any rider returning to British Speedway on an established MA, achieved prior to 2022 will establish an updated MA after completing 6 applicable meetings. Riders new to British Speedway will establish an updated MA after completing 6 applicable meetings. in bold - so amended this year. So changes must be made today. I have heard hints there might be changes, but have no idea what they might be. ... so waiting with baited breath
  15. Let me break this to you gently: It has been a regular occurance for over 50 years. And is explicitly dealt with in the regulations
  16. I don't think there is enough space to fit 'called off because promoter has the emotional maturity of a six year old' on the fixture list. PS second semi final of eurovision tonight - maybe that's the real reason it's off.
  17. No they wouldn't because that would have been: Illegal Against the rules Forbidden Cheating Come back when you've read the rules or grown up.
  18. Usually when hearings are delayed it is at the request of the appellant (to allow them more tome to prepare case, availability of witnesses, legal representation etc).
  19. I had a look at Sportowefakty and they published this date on 25 JANUARY. That's 14, yes FOURTEEN weeks. If this was such a problem for King's Lynn why didn't Buster do something about it in February, or March, or even April?
  20. That depends on whether it is: a sport with rules designed (as far as possible) to ensure parity of opportunity between the teams or a circus style entertainment run for the benefit of the promoter
  21. 'Tears & Glory' page 155: "the 1992 King’s Lynn v Reading match was postponed unilaterally by promoter Buster Chapman on August 22. (The Stars would have taken to the track without their top two, Henka Gustafsson and Mark Loram.) A month later the SCB awarded the match 75-0 to Reading, causing much outrage amongst their title rivals. " That's p155 as in 'taking the p155'.
