Happy Days! No loss at all - can't say I will miss his constant drivel

Shame on you, your conspiracy theory and misrepresenting what Troy actually said and did! Mafia? Cartel? You have been watching too many spy movies.

Robbed of justice! In what way? I think that decision was paid back when Morra fell next time out.

Apparently rider safety is secondary to getting a result in the eyes of some fans - as has been shown a number of times over the last month!

Did I hear right earlier - Pearson suggesting that Lewis Kerr would be a good pick for the SWC

It's called off - must be Rosco's fault!

Firstly calling people names just weakens your argument and says more about you. Secondly, I didn't see anyone sulk. As I said last time (and the time before) rider safety should be first and foremost - and they are waiting to see if things improve - so what's the problem?

It went past heat 10 last week in case you didn't notice!

He (like others) probably thinks the same about you - no need for that!

What is it about Swindon and rain??

Shocking decision there by the referee - Morra should have gone

I would like to think it would be because I do see the bigger picture. What fans want is value for money - clearly you and a few others believe you are and that's commendable but there comes a time when you have to say enough is enough and that is where I am. If Swindon had say Blackbird and Kerr, I would still say that it was the process at fault and wouldn't be happy. Of course, you may have a different view of how I would react and that is your opinion. As I have said, I am not getting at individual clubs - good luck to them as for once (or many times in one team's case) the rules have helped them but the rules are hindering other clubs and that is what's wrong. My other big bugbear is the fact that teams like Eastbourne (again no fault of theirs) go ahead on a Saturday night when visiting teams are tracking PL guests for their number 1. Looking at the value for money, these two issues are a BIG factor for me losing interest in attending speedway.

I do not have any problems with KL at all - they deserve their success and I will be very surprised if they don't win the league this year (assuming injuries don't hit like they did last year when KL were my tip to win it too). The issues I have is primarily with the draft - the way it was arranged, the further dilution of the league and the inability for a team to strengthen to compete with other teams where reserves are going well. I can see the bigger picture and can see what they are trying to do - but they can equally get that experience in the PL. It IS a watering down of the EL as a way of saving money and no matter how you wrap it up that is how I see it. Perhaps in 5 years time there won't be enough supporters to sustain EL speedway in this country - and will you still be saying how great this idea is? In my opinion, this is one of the worst things that the promoters have done in recent times - the idea may be a good one but the execution has been poor. Of course you are entitled to your opinion and it is different from mine. In 5 years time we will see if we were looking at the right bigger picture or not.

KL walking the league?

You were talking about crappy foreigners at reserve and then provide no evidence of this but instead talk about them in 1-5 positions which has no bearing on the discussion. You seem to have a massive potato on your shoulder (I would have said chip but it's more than one) and appear to have a memory of an elephant - making reference to the "infamous" Gjedde meeting - only to you maybe. Anyway we managed to offload a spent Gjedde to BV so not much for you to laugh about there. Talking about infamous, the most memorable infamous situation was at BV last year with "bowser gate" so, if I were you, I would keep to the topic of discussion and not irrelevant memories

Not exactly the crappy foreigners you were talking about then Even in your mind, I don't see how you could link the two situations - and what boot is on the other foot? We only won the league for the first time in an eternity in 2012 (without the reserve superstars scoring you mentioned above) My point is about the continual watering down of the EL and the draft system being a step too far including the new format - that's my opinion and I won't lose any sleep knowing you disagree! You might be right but I would think I would still see the imbalance of the draft system that cannot be rectified within the rules!

Can't understand how anyone can bring up the SGPs when talking about Coventry and Brum? And before anyone gets all upset - I'm only joking!

GRW123 - now let me guess - you are a Stars fan - that explains your positivity about the new format! In the real world - it is a crock!

Nobody's mocking it's all just a bit of Take That

Well done Tai Wish I had my sunglasses on with those white teeth of his - talk about the Colgate smile

I have to disagree (and waits to be shot down) but I don't think Fisher IS a dirty rider. Granted he can be all over the place at times and a bit reckless but I don't think he is a dirty rider - unlike Nicki Pedersen. I think his time as a Bee is coming to an end unless he can turn his form around.

It's certainly a dream! ...back in the real world, Poole will get all 3 points! They've been whining at Poole for years

Yes - but in fairness, previously the PL got priority on all D/U (or D/D) riders - leaving the EL to find replacements. Now we have the same situation except that the EL get priority for their own assets. This shows the cooperation from the EL because why on earth would a second tier league get priority over a top tier? Only in speedway. So its not the PL cooperation that is keeping the EL afloat!

They should be alright then

I think Coventry will make the playoffs with the team they have but may need to strengthen if they want to win it (unless riders come good towards the playoffs)
