Six rain-offs in a row!

Josh Auty was the last genuine 10 year man

But walks back to pits

Surely the 1968 expansion principally came about because speedway was then profitable and existing promoters wanted to open more tracks and make more money. Anything else was a coincidental by-product.

The one's that stopped Norway's Rune Holta riding for Poland

Covenant's tend to be unenforceable over time, and if still operative the cost of releasing them is trivial compared with the sums to be gained from developing a site.

I think people are overlooking the fact that we've had the best part of three weeks of almost daily rain and that the ground is sodden. That is ultimately more significant than whether we get 3 or 6mm of rain this evening. Conditions have not been conducive to drying out the track so with the best will in the world this has looked to be in doubt for some time. After all a day of blazing sun wasn't enough to save Redcar yesterday.

Light rain overnight (also a fair amount of rain on Sat night). Still raining now. Odd shower for most of today then light rain returning around 6pm

Berkshire to Redcar (via Manchester) for me. 660 miles, 11 hours drive round trip!

The customer is often wrong. It is just bad business practice to be caught acknowledging it.

How did I miss that? But only since 6 March

Boughen, Perry and James to up their starting averages by 10 points between them, leaving Spencer and Foord as reserves on 5+ averages.

So here we are, March 17, two days after the season's notional start and still no sign of the 2023 rule book. Good to see the Speedway authorities getting their house in order.

It'll only need a couple of Ht 13/15 results along the lines of: Sayfutdinov, Bewley, Doyle or Sayfutdinov, Pedersen, Doyle to do that

We've all seen Heeps get round

A mere 36 seasons for Vetlanda! [1964-1999] Quite an achievement

I'd say the exact opposite. I'd much rather go to Birmingham v (say) Redcar - match that could go either way; than Poole v Berwick ( which looks like a home banker). As a rule home defeats are not good for business. While the Brummie team looks weak away, it might just be competitive at home.

Also Bo Jansson and Kenneth Nystrom. Then post 95 we had Jonas Davidsson, Anders Henriksson, Per Wester Plus a couple of near misses (e.g. Peter Karlsson)

1 Anders Michanek 2 Per Jonsson 3 Jan Andersson 4 Tony Olsson 5 Pierre Brannefors 6 Bengt Jansson ... anyone spotting a theme here?

Are Birmiingham not VAT registered?

But the frequency with which they change (and having different rules for different leagues) doesn't help.

Because they had it won after heat 8 if you exclude the possibility of multiple 5-nils, and heat 9 otherwise.

Most NORA meetings will take place at tracks that have SRBF collections. How is Jack Thomas hiring Scunny any different from Barry Bishop hiring Plymouth?

But with the return of the aggregate bonus point aren't all league matches two legged competitions?
