2023 all official fixtures (exc bonus)) King is 11th making him not just the best third heat leader but a pretty decent second one. He has a better average than all the Wolves riders bar Masters. So based on actual points scored in real matches King is more than doing his job (and his average is up on last year)

And yet when I challenged one of those 'football glory hunters' (he was wearing MCFC clothing) it was Aces fans who tried to have me thrown out. So less of your sanctimonious drivel.

And it isn't

And there it is https://britishspeedway.co.uk/miscellaneous/scb-statement-nick-morris/?fbclid=IwAR2nyPphyQ9kCgbXn65yhNu-3x-vstSMWC63VMxcKEH7l9vF5ITsd-fmYiA

Overall both the last two meetings were fairly average but lifted by a couple of exceptional races (hts 11 & 13 with Schlein v Berwick, and heats 7[Nicholls team riding to keep Pickering out] and 13 last night)

If we assume that for a bottom end team: any point away is a point gained, as is any bonus point, And at home defeats to the big three are inevitable, chances of beating Redcar/Scunny 50/50, while fellow basement rivals should be beaten : Then you get a form guide of Berwick +1 [they beat Scunny] Birm Zero [-2 for home loss v Edinburgh offsetting +2 for away win at Plym] EdinburghZero [ away win +2 less two defeats to mid-ranking Scun/Redcar, -1 each] Plymouth -1 [-2 for home loss to Brum, +1 for home win over Scuny] So it's pretty evenly balanced and far too early to call, and could be determined by a surprise signing, a sudden uptick in form, an injury, a drug ban or any number of events which will crop up as the season plays out.

Neither A or B are in the purview of Stewart Dickson. In both cases it is the SCB who will give authoratative statements on the matter.

So we are now 100% clear Either A] the ref applied the rules wrong or B] Morris failed/refused a drugs test

30 Sept 2022 Nathan Ablitt absent at Armadale. Belle Vue have to track one rider in 3 races 10 June 2023 Ashton Boughen absents himself from Workington. Leicester have to track one rider in three races. Nick Morris tonight gets REPLACED four times. ...... can anybody explain the difference?

You forgot Broberg, Jonasson, Drabik, Birkemose

I see he's unquit

What a superb result for Cooper Rushen

Only if you have VERY low expectation of Harris

And their massive home scores ensure their overall GSA is sufficiently high to limit the flexibility they have in team changes that might address their away weakness.

Unless you can get Tarasenko on 5.00 ( which I presume should be the case following the Rew precedent) stick with Marcin - signed on 5, averaging 5, and likely to improve as he continues to acclimatise to British speedway).

No serious business person would buy a speedway promotion just to generate tax losses. They would have to lose £40k to save £10k in corporation tax, costing £30k net. A serious speedway fan who is in business might though because it would only cost them £30k to pour £40k in to the money pit that is promoting British speedway.

Ssh don't tell me how it ends

He can not legally be anyone's asset until he's 16.

There were certainly some teams expelled from the league (not necessarily the same as having a licence cancelled) in the 1980s for poor tracks/under strength teams. Barrow, Berwick nomads, Milton Keynes, Glasgow at Workington. All from the 1980s NL when it was run almost independently of the British League (and regarded in some circles as the best run set up in speedway).

The relevance is the principle asset Buster has to sell is the licence to run speedway. The value of that asset could be wiped out at a stroke should the BSPL decide. If Chapman puts too high a valuation on the licence and MT turns round to the BSPL and says I can run, I have a lease and a team lined up, but I need you to grant me a fresh licence at a lower cost what happens? Do the BSPL stand by their old mate and let Peterborough speedway die or do they cancel Chapman's licence and grant MT a fresh one, making Chapman's asset worthless at a stroke.

Not quite correct. He signed up to be regulated by the SCB/BSPL and has to conform to their regulations.

Tape touching does

And if successful they can either: 1) pay what Buster demands for the licence, or 2) run NORA speedway. Question: If Buster demands an unreasonable price does the BSPL have the power to substitute a fair price, and would it exercise that power? (Maybe MT could get a legal opinion, to the effect that the licence is a "restrictive practice")

I think Oxford could beat KL at home but would loose on aggregate. Cheetahs strong at 3 and 5, and while Stars have the advantage at 2,4 & 6, they are hardly overwhelming (for example in the recent Oxford/Berwick fixtures Jenkins outscored Jorgensen 12 to 9).
