OK, lets just assume you are right. Name these 9 heat leaders who would be willing to come and ride in The Elite League.

A little question for Stevie Shovlar, If 2 Premier league teams moved up to the Elite can you tell me where the extra 6 heat leaders would come from ? Or would you be happy for the current league to be diluted even further ? ( ok thats 2 little questions ?) Sorry my maths is not so good. You mention 3 teams moving up so that an extra 9 heat leaders to find.

Team Man ...I watched some of Sky coverage when i got home. You could certainly hear "Dont Stop believing" ( Journey) a few times when English riders won.

For sure Shazzer, but they have to start somewhere, and without the 2nd tier to learn their trade in, where would they have gone ? Sweden, Denmark Poland ? To reply to the question on the size of the crowd. The local EDP paper gave it as 7000

Now oh wise one, remind which League Messrs B. Pedersen, Holder, Watt, Ward started their British Speedway education ?

MV maybe Santa will bringing you one for Christmas. Although Im not sure Lathams sell them. Now if it was a sump for a Mk11 Cortina, they might be able to help.

Whats that I can smell, ? Is it Horse ? Nope...is it Cow...nope....I know, Its BULLS4IT

This is going to be a walk in the park for the Aussies. Poor call to go to KL.....Quote of Steve Stovlar 22nd July at 8.39 News at Ten. The oracle comes unstuck. (once again) The Big question is, Did Stevie think of that all by himself or did Matty tell him to say that ?

I thought West Ham Utd were taking over the stadium once the main event is all over.

Forgettng about the final, its nice to have a litle bit of GB pride in Speedway for a change. To have 7000 fans at Saddlebow Road was awesome, back to the days of the 70s, when it was almost like that every Saturday night. Big congrats to Buster, that was a fine looking track he prepared, and i know how hard he worked on it to get it looking that good. Also to Mike Bennett, is there a better Mic man in Speedway ? Throughly professional throughout. Now to the main t stars of the show, the riders. The GB Team Spirit was there for all to see. Bomber you were different Class, as was Scott, the others weighed in as well. Freddie Lingren was awesome, how lucky are Wolves fans to see him every week ? The one rider who surprised me was Jonas Davidsson, has he ever seen Saddlebow Road before.He was different class. After all the criticism that The track at Kings Lynn has taken over the Premier league years, I hope that has put that one to bed once and for all. Top riders on a top track = entertainment. Also all credit to the Young Aussies, who put up a fine fight, Chris Holder, as always around Saddlebow, was superb. Darcy gave it his all, I dont think Lee Richardson can expect a Xmas card from him. Troy also raced his socks off. All in all a great nights entertainment.

Found this an excellent read. I wonder whether his other 3 children and his ex wife were asked for their views ?

Would not prefer to devote the right amount of time to sinking pints ?

Simon, dont you fancy going back into it, and losing a bit more ?

Are Mildehall riders at liberty to find new clubs, even for the short term ?

Maybe shes after your body, using a thinly disguised attempt at getting your attention. In fact you could be Elton John to her Kikki Dee

Dont go breaking his heart, you couldnt if you tried.

Are you asumming that there will be a space for Plymouth, if they decide to move up a League ? Leicester are going to be taking one place in the Premier League, and the way the Elite League is going with the have's and have not's, I wouldnt rule out a Club dropping out of that league and coming down. Plymouth might not be left with any choice come next season.

Im sure if Scunny had been unhappy with Nelson riding, they would at the very least have ridden under protest. This guy Nelson, is certainly ONE to keep and EYE on.

Rodge, i know very little about Plymouth, are the crowds good enough to support Speedway at Premier League level ?

Good post Rodgy, keep it up. I notice you used the word "think"...Thats more like it, you are expressing an opinion.

Maybe it was his favourite film ?..or....

Thank you Len

Neil, If the 2nd string Clubs pulled out because they couldnt compete both on and off the track with the stand alones. Would there be enough Clubs left to make it attractive for the fans, and worthwhile for the Promotions ? For me each Club should be allowed one "old hand" and the rest should be u and coming youngsters, if there is enough to go around. You look at the Plymouth side ( I am sure they do what is right for them) is that really what is best for the future of British Speedway ?

\Nikko, I would sing from that hymm sheet. My post was not attack on the Fen tigers. More to do with the 2 seperate factions withn the one League. Stand alone Clubs have to make it pay from that one meeting a week, and we all know us fans are a fickle lot and like to see our teams winningn their home matches. The other teams, have other ways of supporting this level of Speedway at the track. We need more Clubs at this level, certainly not less. As Janye has said, if things carry on the way they are, then Clubs are going to fall by wayside. Thats the last thing we want. When Club omves the goalposts, are other clubs not forced to follow. Is this why costs in The NDL have risen so much over the past 18 months ?
