The Third Man

RIP Maurice

Train to Bathgate and taxi works, or stay in Bathgate Think a taxi from Edinburgh to Bathgate cost us about £35 in 2019

Bit away from other housing, might be difficult to get planning

He was booed at Sheffield because he rode for Halifax, most Halifax and Belle Vue riders were booed, the possible exception being Peter Collins

Very sad, he cannot be that old, saw him bounce of the fence all over the place at Sheffield when he first started, but went on to be a good reserve until he broke his leg in 74 i think

We don't do well with Danish wonderkids, cant remember any of them doing well at Sheffield

its also the American way In their draft system the bottom team from the previous season gets first choice

Isn't that the rule they use in America for their draft system, not sure they are classed world wide as a joke

But if they aren't near the standard how are they are going to improve, riding around half a lap behind the others getting the odd point when other riders don't finish is not going to help them, more likely knock their confidence completely, and earn no money

Who are the riders, who at least near EL standard, who are missing out?

If he is, its a no brainer for Sheffield to sign him

Well that's a great top two to start with

what does Zane Kennedy go like at Scunthorpe

Didn't work for Sheffield and Rye House to name two

Merry Christmas to everyone at Sheffield, here's hoping for speedway next season

The one i remember with James Grieves was the 1999 cup semi final where he was "Ill" when Edinburgh visited. they replaced him with Paul Pickering and won by a few points with Pickering scoring well

I had it on a camp site in Tarragona, where the people opposite, on a small camp site, were from Sheffield and Wednesday supporters as well

He used to live in Rotherham, dont know if he still does His link with Utd was that the company that repesents im orused to has links to them

The future is going to be electric engines for bikes, like you say that would get tracks into cities again, and with no exhaust fumes, into indoor arenas if possible, although i do realise for regular racing that could be a problem

Must be a restriction of trade under EU law surely

Dont understand why this hasnt already been held, why wait until now?

Bob was one of the best captains Sheffield had

Its OK i can see how it works, fun for the run offs though

But is that possible with the system of points scoring?

i would imagine 9 after a run off First four races everyone scores 3 2 1 0, and then four riders get 3 points from the last four races, therefore four on 9, and a runoff for first place could be wrong though
