Conversely, if you'd put in an official protest wouldn't you say so instead of putting it in wishy-washy terms?

There are 2 other promoters.

Here's hoping...

...and Neville Chamberlain said:"Peace in our time".

That's what rumours are for. SS went to press on Tuesday, and the Kent to EL story was only a maybe, I heard differently last night & today.

Irrelevant as he won't have a track to ride on, "allegedly".

AGM is 17th/18th of this month.

The latest I've heard is Kent definitely not, Rye House maybe and nobody to Swindon.

Not an official protest though.

And?

Lots.

Where is local? BBC WM do a great job from Birmingham & Wolverhampton & seem to be the most prolific. Coventry & Warwickshire sometimes do Coventry & I listened to both legs of the EL final on Radio Solent. I use this page to see what's being covered, http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/speedway/17839601, and my only complaint is that it's sometimes difficult to find if the coverage is on the normal DAB feed, or only on the BBC Sport app or the station's own website.

He didn't need to scan anything, he was left holding the goggles! His sole remit is to get the riders to the tapes in a timely and efficient manner so that the ref can initiate the starting procedure. You could probably count the number of times I've seen start marshals carry out their procedure to the letter of the regs on the fingers of one finger, so giving them any more to do would tax them even more.

Perhaps Starry hasn't been able to lay his hands on a copy of the Speedway Star...

I believe promoters have been studying film of the post-war boom years and at this month's AGM they'll vote to insist that all supporters wear long overcoats and trilby hats or flat caps.

Disappointing to have Rob Branford missing but Ben Morley is a more than adequate, and welcome, replacement. Good to see Danyon Hume making his return from injury and replacing Sam Woods. http://www.ryehouserockets.co/news.php?extend.1157

JPB has been known as Jack Parkinson throughout his time in the BYC which allows his name to fit in the programme & on the back of his race jacket.

The best case scenario would have been an exclusion after the race, as with a missing dirt deflector/chain guard, giving a 4 point swing.

You keep on about a penalty having to take into account the possible result of the race - it doesn't! If an infraction is seen during or immediately after the race the result is given with that rider removed, if it's the result of an after meeting appeal then that riders points are removed. It's really very simple.
