ouch

That's a bit under HANDed.

Yes he did. 2004 at Eastbourne. Middlo was accused of instructing his riders (Pedersen & Sullivan I think) to throw a race to allow for a tactical on the following heat. People were going mad at him as it was in the face of the "bona fide attempt to race". Fraud said it wasn't Middlo but him that made the call to cheat.

Pretended to be disabled when they weren't. Makes North/Ford seem almost angelic.

Matt Ford is s self confessed cheat from way back in 2004. People accused Middlo but Ford said it was he who instructed the cheating. I think maybe Newman had a hand in thinking he could ride against regulation (or rulebook). Is that where we are now, cheat and if you get away with it, we'll all well and good. Disgraceful.

I've already paid to go and watch them, well ten meetings at least.

Yea.

That is a description of how riders are normally signed, if this is the case then why have the pantomime of a draft pick if the allocating of riders is already sorted?

Maybe going into partnership with his brother.

One thing I didn't get when Cook released the statement regarding Ellis was why/how would he speak to other club(s) when he was part of the draft pick and could have gone to any team, even Lakeside if the picks worked that way. It's like he and the other people involved knew where he was going before the picks had taken place, which is odviously bent.

Loathsome character I've had to complain about his insults before now. Not a true member of the speedway family.

Must admit it seems odd but if it helps the Brits then that's a good thing. For once we get something out of it as Cook is over a point less when using his PL average so I'll take that.

Sounds good. I don't need to mention the Joe Screen incident as the powers that be have sorted that particular one already. Is a copy of the rule book and tv footage enough evidence for the Newman/Goggles cheat?

Lance Armstrong Matt Ford Ben Johnson Kyle Newman Maradona Charles Ingram Neil Middleditch Enron Spanish Paralympians Whilst I value your right to an opinion I hope you value my right to disagree with it. I just don't like cheats if fact in this context the only thing worse is cheats who when crow about "winning" Each to their own I guess but I'll never get my head around it.

of cheating scumbags. Perceptive.

Good for us as we can have Cook at reserve and EDRs use their converted PL average so he'll be just over 6. Good AGM with what looks like the end of self interest. Get in.

The confidence of the cheats. Don't forget to have the parents of your team up to speed on how you do things just incase one of their offspring hits a bad patch. Still can't get over that one and I don't think I ever will, utterly repellant, like anyone who supports such dispicable behaviour. Cheating scumbags.

I know I can't but then I'm a British speedway supporter. I dying breed.

Poppies are popular at the moment. You'd make a fortune for yourself selling them. Go for it.

Be interesting to see where he ends up as a result of this apparent fixing.

If he is going to another EL club it must be in there 1-5 as 6-7 are filled with EDF and the draw is yet to be done.

Belle Vue didn't "break" any rules a few years back but were rightly penalised. It's not just about the rule book as you expect some moral responsibility from competitors, something regrettably lacking at Poole. Newman did break the rules but that doesn't seem to matter to you lot either. What an obnoxious bunch you are.

Classic.

20 EL + 10NL + Craven + 2 (maybe) BSPA + 1 (maybe)FIM + 2 (maybe) Play Offs = 35 meetings. That's doubling up already even without rain offs.

Four then, plus us. Thanks for the response, you're the only one that bothered. What's your thoughts on the injury issues when compared to these other sports?

Any chance of a list of sports in answer to my question?
