Still a long way behind Harris, and he is behind Jason Edwards

Leicester - the council own the land. The site is on a long lease that I think David Hemsley still has an Interest in, and the current Speedway promotion sublet from him.

Still a great occasion though. Racing was much better on both Friday and Saturday - Janusz bursting thru in the SEC and Chlupac v Blodorn in the Ribbon meeting were way better than Sunday's racing.

You are so right- don't know what I was thinking there

Can't see how either are eligible. 12.4.2 (e) no rider, whose team is in the play offs may appear as a guest in the play offs, in that league.

So rain dance for Thursday then Harris for the restaging

Er yes it is. Only one, Doyle, has an official average in excess of 8.41 at present. And looking at unofficial averages only Doyle has an average in excess of 8.30. Using either measure there are six riders with averages in excess of 8.00.

He won the US Open at Champion ahead of second placed Charlie Venegas (55 year old).

Although with the exception of Ablitt and Hodder the Colts have pretty appalling away averages. And Sam McGurk got 0 from 5 guesting against Armadale earlier in the season. Their performance at Kent (again bar Ablitt and the reserves) was distinctly underwhelming. They should get the point they need but I wouldn't take it for granted.

They all double up/down so they've hardly been inactive.

But no sign of the Cubs last two fixtures taking place yet.

Janusz has produced some fantastic racing in this year's SEC, where he leads Leon Madsen. I think he's well worth another shot.

Not a hope in hell. Cierniak is way behind a whole host of Poles. Even Jason Crump struggled in the GPs when seeded thru as world under 21 champion.

It's one team in a tie.

Who was the 'ghost' guest? It can't have been Starke as his GSA is below Brennan's. As Douglas took an R/R ride it must have been some notional rider with an average over 6.88 (but below Douglas - otherwise he'd have been at no 1)

And why is that unreasonable?

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.

Lightweights. Is that all, a pathetic 11 meetings in 6 weeks. In 1992 Reading Racers rode 16 matches in 24 days (5-28 Oct)

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?

Are you usually this offensive? Do you have anger management issues?

That seems to be quite a generalisation

Well I imagine one member won't need persuading. But I suspect he will have to recuse himself.

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.

Nothing retro about them, they are up to the minute fashion

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.
