Where is Ged saying this in public? No good with the "he said this" if he isn't prepared to come out and say anything at all, it's just a rumour. As Chapman said, no offers in writing. If Ged disputes this then let's hear him.

From who? He says, publicly, that he hasn't. Your move.

You're more optimistic than I

Fricke will do better than Woffinden might have, especially at Foxhall.

Good god no thanks.

Although I agree it is the job of leaders to do just that.

Yes exactly! Although aren't the SCB different from the BSPL? But equally they don't appear to be doing anything either - if they can't be bothered, why should we?

But why not - surely it's a direct impact on their business? Just because they don't, doesn't mean they shouldn't !

Still low though, given the fanbase speedway has. Look how much coverage Wolves have had and Coventry still have, being driven by committed volunteers. I am not in Peterborough or nearby so don't see what local coverage is like but surely the BSPL could promote objections/activity.

And Riss

Objected to both applications, as did my father and a friend

Yeah but Sedgmen struggles to pass water!

Harris passed by Sedgmen, really?

'mon the panthers!

No chance.

I for one wouldn't go if it were anywhere other than really local to me if held elsewhere as I wouldn't buy a ticket until the weather forecast was in place. No such drama with Cardiff, it's guaranteed to be on. Have stayed in a B&B in mid-wales for £30 & travel to the venue is not that hard then. This year though I got a coach, 5 hour journey, left home at 6.45am, home again at 2am the next day - £40.

I thought Morris refused the test full stop, which means it's treated the same as a positive one.

That's true. It is of course understandable that he'd try anything to help his case, as I would and until proper testing takes place no-one can know what substance was detected.

Nothing wrong with that, the engine would've stopped if not re-attached very quickly, so no risk. I saw Billy Sanders do that years ago to an opposition rider as they were arriving at the tapes - was all in fun mind.

Would prefer a stronger reserve. Think Premiership is beyond Boughen for next year - if he is included then will need a stronger partner than Dan T.

Yes that's right in terms of stats, suppose I just have a different view of young, anyone under 30 . B Cook has only really progressed since being in the Premiership this season though in my view.

Been part of the rules for a few years now, H&S. They are also supposed to have their cut-outs attached to their or their/ their mechanics body at all times the engine is running but how often do we see some of them remove it from their arm at the end of a race - this is also H&S because should a fault/accident occur, the bike could charge off and cause injury.

They are not allowed to ride their bikes in the pits, that's why.

I find age a total red herring, JL was a novice at 28, Lee British champ at 17 I think. I'm also uninterested in performance outside of the UK but was merely responding to the 'best young aussie' and jawing with Baldyman. No doubt these riders will all improve.

But you said the best young aussie, nothing about 'breaking through' or 'success' so did you mean the best of the rubbish aussies? Ben Cook is also way ahead of Rew, thanks to his season with the Panthers.
