ouch

Closing the forum is a bad move and anyone who thinks otherwise is either thick or biased or both.

Simon Stead is available. Everyone seemed happy for The Aces to have him as number 1 when we struggled to put a team together in 2007.

Did you request delivery or collection? It should say on your order confirmation email.

That was my question when The Aces were fined and docked 3 match points. Still waiting.

The heat leader list was a good idea badly executed as is the case with so many things in this great sport of ours. Sure there will be borderline riders that will divide opinion but when there is a glaring error where frankly opinion doesn’t enter into it, then the compiling of the list appears tainted with self-interest and just once again seems down right dodgy. Buczkowski averaged 6.48 when he finished third in Leicester’s averages in 2014. MMJ averaged 6.52 when he finished third in Coventry’s averages in 2014. Both missed 2015. One is on the list but one isn’t. If you look at Rory Schlein, he averaged 6.22 when he finished third in King’s lynn’s averages in 2014. He did ride in 2015 averaging 6.24. He is on the list, despite suffering a near career ending injury. If Schein and MMJ are on the list then fine but Buczkowski should be on the list, no question, no debate. If Buczkowski is not on the list then neither should Schlein or MMJ, no question, no debate. Anybody involved in the compilation of the list who can’t see this is either thick or biased or both. Buczkowski’s omission from the list seems dodgy whoever signs him but when he is signed up the week following the list being assembled by perennial cheaters Poole then it just heightens the sense that something isn’t right. It’s my opinion that a club signing Schlein as one of their allotted heat leaders is at a disadvantage to a club who signs Buczkowski without using up one of the heat leader spots. Before we get the anybody can sign this rider or that rider or that some promoters are smarter than others, well I’m afraid it doesn’t wash with me following the “shrewd” signing of Kildemand a few years back.

Surely it's not compulsory to have a job share at number 1? If you and your top man are happy to do a full season then great, if not then job share. I don't see this promoters problem.

30 Fridays before the cutoff, less 11 GP's and 1 SWC leaves 18 usable Fridays.

That must mean they haven't cheated then.

Merry Christmas one and all. XX

The back straight cover at the National Speedway Stadium is massive.

Ok, try this one. If a rider puts both wheels over the white line by mistake he should not be disqualified?

Is it an act of dishonesty to have a silencer fall off or when you go over the 2 minutes as you are fitting the rider replacement tyre, both would gain you an advantage?

From the rulebook.... 12.8. Goggles must be worn.

Saying you don't respect someone because you don't know them is a sad life choice. I respect everyone until they behave in a manner that means they don't deserve it anymore. Once again each to their own but I much prefer my world. Oh and who goes out at 4 (or 8 for that matter) on a Saturday? Be back tomorrow but not before lunch, it's gonna be a late one.

Goggles

So only people that stay in can identify cheating scumbags? Weird logic. I'll NEVER lighten up when it comes to cheats. I hope you respect that as I respect your right to love cheats and cheating. Each to their own. It's not that. A Poole fan called poster morons for questioning the events during the semi final and his reasoning was due to North staying home next season to care for his Dad. He/she was wrong.

So if he had not got an offer from Denmark, Poland or the UK, he would have stayed home to look after his Dad. His Dad must be feeling a tad unfortunate that a successful, young, upcoming rider got three offers to ride. What are the chances? If I don't get an offer to go out tonight, I'm going to solve world hunger. Fingers crossed. We're anti cheating not anti Poole and we do wonder why you love cheating us.Stop yet cheating and we'll stop our bleating.

I think the Aussie top five will play off each other and be very successful as a unit. Cast iron cert for the play offs.

I expected him back.

I can't believe Buster wouldn't prepare an exciting racetrack irrespective of the members of his team.

Oops.

I was appalled at what when on and the methods used to get a facility but that was going off information at the time. Knowing what I know now, I have to say I feel exactly the same.

Masters is quality and given the right management and support both him and Bech will do very well.

He has a tamper proof tin labelled exact change only, mind you you'll never find him as he's always in the bar with Dakota North discussing Holders team preferences.

As we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns the ones we don't know we don't know.
