Silence: so, Mr Clever Clogs was clearly talking mince.

That makes sense: I am curious, though. How is the return measured and quantified? How would you do that with speedway?

This will be the year speedway died in UK, I'm very sorry to say

I'm sorry, I have refrained from posting on here for a bit, as it is more or less just the usual suspects. But the above post is just too funny not to take the time to commend it. Pure comedy gold Screm! I am assuming all the typos were intentional and for comedy effect...

Neither he or she, but hermaphrodite.

Clever little boy

You mean full of substance?

Mind, you have maybe disproved my hypothesis that it might be more densely populated...

Getting some cracking conversation on this thread at the moment! Of course, a move up the East coast would take speedway to a more densely populated area, it might make sense at some point?

It'll only work if the appropriate pockets are lined, but the UK isn't corrupt: is it?

It'l not happen within the next decade

I'm sure a lot of them will be, and if we get them we might get rid of this tiresome track garbage. Of course, one could argue that a ploughed field track where the riders are hanging on for dear life makes for an entertaining meeting. I think your machinery point is the most pertinent with regard to closer racing, and keeping costs down.

The type of fan who complains about the track will never be happy, so I think it is best to leave them to their allotments and whist drives. Berwick is a classic example of this. In the Peter Waite days, it really was rough, and criticised heavily by riders and fans. The track has been transformed since that era,with countless compliments from riders, including GP ace Chris "Bomber" Harris. Yet you still hear the same archaic gurning from some about the condition of the track. We need fans who are capable of being independent thinkers, not sheep. You mention the machinery as an aspect that constrains racing. I suspect that, alongside riders' frame of mind, and circumstances, are the main drivers with regard to that.

I can see you point of view Teal. I think this is one season where we are seeing a team full of familiar faces, and yes not the excitement of the unknown rider who could be the next best thing. This is a very carefully put together team, though, and I am sure they will provide plenty of excitement. Kozza and Bellego in particular!

I would agree with that, however, I think Ashworth, Bellegeo, and Kozza are all pretty entertaining, the latter two not always by winning races. The other four are very solid in their team positions, Aspergren is particularly dependable. I like the balance of the team, I also like the personalities in the team. It's good for me: I'm chuffed!

No obvious weak links in that side, an out and out number 1, sure he will be a great captain too. Two good reserves, the ultr-reliable Aspegren, entertainer extraordinairre in Kozza, raw talent in Bellegeo, and Wethers who can ride a lot of our bogey tracks. Very happy when this was announced P.S. We should have a separate thread called "I knew before you knew", so all the insecure folk who feel important posting on here can boost their self-esteem even further.

I'll be there!

Except nobody in the playground would listen.

You're a very clever little boy.

I think he was a consistent performer, very reliable. Good to have in any team, I think. Probably out of the price range for us, unfortunately.

Couldn't agree more.

It would be interesting to do a psychological analysis of the people who seem to know the team, and why they feel the need to post on here that they do. I wonder why they need to do that? Insecure? Low self-esteem? There will be people who do know, but don't feel the need to tell the Internet community. I wonder what the difference is between the two groups? Just interested, really. Yes, more knockers on here would be great

Thank goodness: the numptie's gone to sleep.
