That's not how it works. Setting a £200k loss against other business profits will only result in HMRC losing £50k. The promoter will still be £150,000 down. If HMRC is £200k down then Birm speedway would have had to lose £800,000

About on a par with Paco Castagna

Are you sure? https://www.zuzelend.com/m,3258,ok-bedmet-kolejarz-opole-vs-opibet-lokomotiv-daugavpils

Steve Worrall 6.00 ...Adam Ellis 9.00 (above Masters and Douglas) Those are the real averages, where it matters ... in Poland. I had assumed the OP was satire, but I fear not.

Fake news. It's 29° and sunny in Almaty

Better than Rew and Blodorn in Polish liga 1 Averaging less than 3 ( per match) in Sweden. I saw him in Argentina, on a par with Paco Castagna. ...so juries out

He was just pleased to see you

NOBODY LET US DOWN It is disappointing to come so close and not win, so how about some praise for the guys for taking it to the wire.

It is the standard practice in Polish speedway you nominate a rider, then make the substitution.

It's on heat winners

And GB get final choice

And only GB has two Wroclaw riders in their team

That's what it used to mean (see 2019 NDL Green Sheets) but now it means not eligible to ride as AR. As far as I can tell Boxall and Morley are able to guest (subject to average constraints). [I was under the same mis-apprehension this morning]

If Australia were that good they wouldn't have been in the race-off.

The youngsters have to have somebody to ride against.

Worth a shot. Have a look at his standing in the under 24 league. https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/u24-ekstraliga/statystyki/2023

Must be pretty consistent to average 8 in Polish League 1. Some pretty strong performances: https://www.zuzelend.com/zaw,651,dmitri-berge

My mistake, I was remembring the old rules. What is truly embarrasing is they were last extant in 2019 So under old rules Boxall (and Ben Morley) wouldn't be able to guest in CL. But now they can, subject to averages fitting, but can't be nmed AR. Which still begs the question - what is Boxall's CL official average?

Surely he could only guest if named in somebody else's CL team as he is NEG on the NDL Green Sheets. Old rules. My mistake. I think we must infer that he's had his old CL average reduded to 4.00 or less.

That may be true of sports with extensive amateur participation and low entry costs but neither applies to speedway so unless the professional speedway as a whole takes some responsibility then they are acting against their long term interests. Best example of this is the dropping of the Rising Star from the Championship.

Not a valid reason. No such rule.

The NDL Green Sheets make it clear Boxall is not eligible to guest. [See issue 19 amended - where Boxall has NEG against his name] But issue 19 (issued the previous day does not have those words against his name) NEG = not eligible to guest as an NL rider So looks like Berwick chose him on the strength of the error on issue 19 and were allowed to proceed with the booking, given it wasn't their fault and the difficulty in finding an alternative guest at short notice.

Tonight France third place earned them 6th place in the World rankings. A remarkable achievement from a country that a decade ago never had more than a couple of meetings a season. Back in 1991 18 countries entered the World Team Cup and France came ... 18th Behind not just Finland, Norway, Hungary, Italy, Austria but also the giants of Yugoslavia, Bulgaria Netherlands and East Germany And who were 12th sandwiched between Italy and Austria?
