Classic dead cat on the table tactic. Got us all talking about Tenerife rather than the much larger failings of the BSPL.

Belle Vue 1968 (and 1937)

I agree with you up to a point. But: A] it is a tone deaf action in a time when many are coping with tighter budgets due to the 'cost of living crisis' B] what choice do promoters who don't fancy a piss up in the sun have? To waste £1000 or miss out on input into the big decisions. C] how do you bring in 'experts' for specific sessions? (zoom may be adequate, but hardly ideal)

Well I'm sure getting a ban for cocaine use will be a big boost to his case for access.

Absolutely ridiculous notion when you consider that he is 22 and racing in an era when many riders peak over 30 (Freddie Lindgren 38 this year for example), and has markedly improved his average every year including the current one.

I think Workington was modelled on Redcar. And who was one of the principal architects of Redcar? Chris van Straten.

I see Leicester are not honouring re-admission tickets (understandable given change of ownership and time of year), but instead accepting claims for refunds. http://www.leicesterspeedway.com/_mobile/news.php?extend.32392.1 This is the only info I can find (so it may have been missed by travelling fans) and it does not explicitly state that tickets can not be reused (as per the conditions of re-entry - you know the ones that explicitly state there will be no cash refunds that Leicester were relying on two weeks earlier) Deadline for refunds is TOMORROW

Possibly his best result all season was beating Pickering and Howarth in the Pairs .... at Oxford

No facility for a rider that hasn't made his club season debut. N.b. special dispensations have occasionally been given for riders injured just before the season's start ( e.g. at P&P day) but there is no way that would extend to this instance.

Yes. It was quite clear from the announcements that we were ready to continue once Max's immediate medical needs had been met (and the air fence repaired) and it was only the rain that prevented us doing so.

The meeting was only called off because of rain that fell AFTER Max Perry's crash.

You might think that, I wouldn't possibly like to comment. And add on two home finals staged at King's Lynn last year.

But as the season consists of 16 matches qualifying for GSAs which ars last 20 matches they would have to be below their best all season (excluding play-offs, KOC,BSN)

I have not seen it written down, or referred to by any reliable source, or referenced by any British promoter. Either it is made up or forms part of an agreement for next season that will be formalised at the AGM. It would be nice to know.

Nigel Tolley sounded very downbeat tonight. Plan is still to run Prem next year, but seemed very doubtful about reaching a satisfactory agreement with the landlords, and actually raised the spectre of tonight being the last ever meeting at Perry Barr.

There would be plenty of worse gambles. In Poland u24 league averaged more than Borke, Edwards, Bailey, Flint and Zischke.

Not sure how easy a congealed lump of plastic will be to mould though.

Tarasenko fits

I've been to too many of these now. What makes a successful farewell is engagement with fans memories. Exeter set the gold standard (Honey Sandford's laying a bouquet in memory of her father, and Ivan's final lap). Despite a fairly mundane field Reading's benefited from a bumper turn out of former riders (plus Dave Lanning and Diddy David Hamilton). Peterborough on the other hand was a disgrace - a chat with David Howe (who just happened to be there spannering) and that was about it. I'm confident tonight will be a good (if teary) send-off.

Congrats to Scunny on a dramatic and well deserved victory

Yes. It happened in SGP2 this season which uses the same system. Will Drejer got 8 from 4 reserve rides in Vojens and went on to the semi (and final) scoring 16 GP points for finishing third

Plenty of Zeds: Zmarzlik Zagar Zetterstrom Zengota Zabik But 'X' is a tough one to cross off.

Checks diary ... It's not 1 April

Poole have a good record at restructuring teams when necessary. I suspect that whatever the points limit they will prove more astute than their rivals at putting together a septet under the new points limit whatever it is.
