Richard Hollingsworth quoted in today's SStar; "Discussions are still taking place. We had an agreement with a pair of riders 6 weeks ago but sadly things changed last week and now we are having to explore our options." ... "We are in discussion with a couple and hopefully we can sort out our line-up for our opening fixture by the weekend."

More complicated than that, but irrelevant in this case as shared events take precedence over all leagues.

BSPA shared events always take priority over league competitions.

...beaten 3-1 & 2-0 by fellow EL reserves Simon Lambert and Ben Morley on his home track...

Sam Simota will be the temporary replacement for Alex Davies.

That could actually make an improvement, it's really that bad.

No, Boxall.

With 2 bikes that look as though they may make it to the end of the season as well.

Rob Godfrey has been told that that visas are issued 10 days after applications are submitted and that Ryan Douglas is 2 days behind Jason Doyle, whose 10 days are up next Friday. Interesting to see Doyle listed for the ERC when it's widely assumed that Tier 5 visas only allow riding for the sponsoring club.

Would Mr. Rising please pick up the white courtesy phone in reception...

He wasn't going to show up at all until talked round by Len. Arrived in time for the photo session, did what was necessary and then left straight after. Also heard that when he arrived Len was taking him to task for not having signed his contract yet.

It's taken a while but they've finally caught up with Polish clubs then...

He's back on the 9th April and misses the first 5 Rockets meetings.

The season doesn't start until Saturday. Plenty of time...

Thanks for dismissing Rye House as uncompetitive Mick, much appreciated.

Don't be silly, you're exaggerating. Oh, hang on a minute... http://www.speedwaygb.co/news.php?extend.23889

It's "any other Professional League" as the Regs term it.

Surely not. He'd be on 7 point average if he had...

The "tactical" switching of 3rd heat leader and 2nd strings will give the TM something to think about instead of the old problem of protecting his 7 ride ringer at reserve.

Beginning to warm to Mr. Mitchell already...

They won't have the same battle because the decision will have been made in advance of the riders planning their season, rather than the retrospective decision which caused the current problem.

The 4th listing in "Homes of British Speedway" is a demonstration race by Mads Korneliussen and Tony Atkin at the Wales National Ice Rink in 2004, presumably a tryout for a possible Thomas/Drury promotion. They also have Cardiff Arms Park listed in the grass speedways appendix for 1928. HoBS list an Ely Grass Speedway in 1948.

It's Tier 5 and it looks as though that is what Kozza has had refused.

Why would there be? It's Speedway's tried and tested "Wait and see... Whoops! Too late" policy.

...in the MDL with a team of trainees to be led by Kings' reserve Dan Blake. More details here. 9 teams in the league with no mention, as yet, whether MK Knights will still be operating out of Rye House.
