Bacon, Ruddock, a three pointer and a 40 point limit would be my guess then.

Still riding in Germany, but judging by results not the rider he once was.

Here's Bradley as an 8 year old in 2007 (so yes he's 16 now) against Bradley Wilson-Dean (whatever happened to him?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWuY5jBzlWI and more recently (last week!) beating Ryan Terry-Daley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yl2rx0eiCNw

Council is funding the development by borrowing the money and the interest on the loan will be covered by Belle Vue speedway's rental payments. As a result I think it likely the rent will be high by current EL standards, but all the good vibes, PR and a decent team ought to see sufficient increase in crowds to cover the expense. At least that is the theory

So no posts about Woryna being a 7-pointer then?

I have seen him ride in Poland, so presumably I am allowed to comment. He was highly rated in 2014, but didn't make the expected progress this year. I would say he is better than Jamrog, but not as good as Wozniak (and remember he only twice scored more than five points away from home in 14 EL matches - where the race format gives you four points if you only beat the fast track riders). Unless he adapts as well to Brandon as Woz did to Beaumont Park, then I think he will prove to be a poor signing.

Why do people keep mentioning Mark Riss? Valentin Grobauer would be a better choice. Kai Huckenbeck would be an even better choice. And even better still Michael Hartel. And that's just Germans

Superligen is mainly Wed & Fri, but also some Mondays. However as the Danes use a squad system it may not be the case he gets to ride regularly. And even if he does it is not impossible - only 14 matches. Michael Bech and Hans Andersen both rode for Friday teams in Britain and appeared in most of their teams DSL fixtures

Danish second division (I assume you mean Division One) is essentially amateur and meetings are on Saturdays. It has very few foreigners (Dominik Moser and a few Norwegians)

5-1 was basically Speedway Star monthly, launched I think at about the same time as the Mail went monthly - presumably with the intention of driving the Mail out of the market.

Robert Lambert in Germany 2015:- FIM meetings - none Bundesliga meetings - three Open meetings - five HOWEVER only one of these was on a Sunday.

I think you could add the near strangulation at birth of the British League before the season's start when riders and promoters were at loggerheads over pay to that list.

result: 1 Jason Jorgensen (Den) 15+3+3 2 Theo Pijper 14+3+2 3 Tim Sorensen (Den) 11+2+1 4 Mark Fr. Pedersen (Den) 8+2+0 5 Pascal Swart 12+0 6 Seb. Mortensen(Den) 10+1 7 Romano Hummel 10+1 8 Nick Lourens 9+0

On that basis if the coin toss in Wiener Neustadt had gone the other way we'd have had Tomas Suchanek in the 2006 Grand Prix!!!

That won't please the Scots, however I do think it an excellent choice for an English anthem

Try following Aleksandr Loktaev's nationality

Weren't people saying much the same about Jason Doyle two seasons ago when he was still riding in the PL - now look at where he is. [Doyle turned 28 in 2013; Cook is currently 28]

Mildura has a population of just over 30,000. The only large settlement within 150 miles is Renmark (pop. 8,000).

And Steely Dan was named after.. - hang on I think most people know that....

I read Humph's comment as being a query about the Star breaking cover, not the promoters who remain anonymous and are just engaging in routine internal organisational politics/backstabbing.

Piotr Swist is still going at 47 - riding regularly in the Polish League. Andrzej Huszcza was 50 when he rode regularly in the Polish League in 2005.

I'm with you on this. I rarely visit Somerset and Lakeside because the M4/M5 and M25 are simply unbearable on Fridays. I find the M40 is much less of a problem so Coventry is the only realistic option for me on a Friday.

Last competitive fixtures between EL and PL were the promotion/relegation playoffs in 2008 thru 2010.By definition these were worst in EL v best in PL contests. All six matches were won by the EL teams including a 68-21 thumping of Edinburgh by Belle Vue at armadale

Calm down dear

Sadly very true and I can think of even more examples.
