  1. Finishing positions are irrelevant. It's positions at 22 Sept that count. There have been more than one instance of teams finishing in top 4, but not making the play-offs because some of their points were accrued after the cut-off date.
  2. Lightweights. Is that all, a pathetic 11 meetings in 6 weeks. In 1992 Reading Racers rode 16 matches in 24 days (5-28 Oct)
  3. He got personal, he said councillors were in it for themselves. I was a Councillor. Therefore he is implying I was in it for myself. So who's getting personal?
  4. Are you usually this offensive? Do you have anger management issues?
  5. Well I imagine one member won't need persuading. But I suspect he will have to recuse himself.
  6. You'd be surprised. It certainly isn't uncommon for an applicant to present the less savoury comments from the objectors on local community forums and the like in an effort to undermine opposition. And I can assure you that morons wittering on about brown envelopes did not endear me to their point of view when I was considering applications.
  7. Nothing retro about them, they are up to the minute fashion
  8. Provided they could demonstrate that they had made a procedurally correct decision they ought to be fine. Basically, it was £400,000 plus jobs created and ancillary commercial activity vs. Speedway for a handful of Monarchs fans and a lower financial return, so you can see why they came to the decision they did. All this talk of brown envelopes comes across as childish and petulant and it is little wonder the views of speedway fans are given little weight if that is the best we can do.
  9. Barmy indeed. A friend of my husband has come over from Germany this weekend, principally to watch Fulham v Chelsea. We are reduced to watching London Irish v Worcester rugby.
  10. I even know one who has a regular column in the Oxford programme!
  11. Standard procedure for commercially sensitive matters such as land sales. Nothing remotely out of the ordinary.
  12. Anyone fancy going to the Royal Opera this evening? https://www.roh.org.uk/tickets-and-events/salome-by-david-mcvicar-dates
  13. Agree entirely with the additional proviso that the day of the funeral should be a clear day. (Was the 19th due to be first of Premiership play-offs?)
  14. But the history behind that state is that when League Cup fixtures were included in riders averages there were several high profile examples of average rigging to allow team changes that gave some teams what was perceived to be an unfair advantage. You can argue for inclusion ,or against, but it has to be accepted that neither will give ideal outcomes 100% of the time.
  15. But that could be the day of the funeral so I'd take that as provisional for now.
  16. Ah but these days it's 2 weeks if his Polish paymasters are asking and six before he's fit to ride in the UK.
  17. I thought you were replying to ukmartin's post If you mean last night the answer is still no.
  18. No https://speedwayligaen.dk/resultater-runde-12-10-8-2022/
  19. True, particularly if they are going to have mysterious "lack of medical cover" postponements
  20. But Heeps' average is not established in 2022. It was established in 2021 therefore as he has an established 2022 CL average that takes precedence.
  21. Oh do grow up. Yes it was a stupid comment by C4G, but any decent solicitor would tell you the is exchange falls way short of being actionable.
