  1. He obviously cant read what he put on the website, and he didnt listen to what was announced on the night that said he offer was for the first meeting. going back on his word with a very week newcastle team in town might backfire tonight
  2. i remember it, and i still have my ticket, so i am expecting to get in for half price
  3. i went loads of times from 68 until it closed and always loved my visits and I saw lots of close races, in fact the reason I didn't go to Bradford very much was because it was nothing like Halifax
  4. Always used to enjoy the Shay, and had lots of opportunities to go to watch Sheffield First time in1968 a double header with Halifax against Glasgow and Sheffield they beat Glasgow, 52 - 26 I think and then drew with Sheffield 39 - 39 with Bob Paulson using the banking to beat Boocock and Boothroyd in heat 13 with Larsson last to get the draw
  5. What about Sheffield, opened in 1929 as a speedway stadium
  6. we also need to ban him from travelling in a car, have you the way some people drive, crossing a road, drivers again, walking, the pavements are a mess in some places or any activity except laying in bed all day, watch for pressure sores though, until the season starts then we can let him ride a speedway bike for a living PS my eighteen month old grand daughter went sledging for the first time and didn't get hurt, just thought I'd mention it
  7. It was meant to be a joke, not a good one obviously
  8. You do realise its the BSPA that has awarded it to Redcar don't you, Thought?
  9. Couldn't agree more with this, but opening the doors last season has led to this situation. Re Bellego, I am sure if he took legal action the rule would be dropped, seems the BSPA don't learn, but no surprise there
  10. That only involves direct discrimination Indirect discrimination can be for any other reason
  11. But again that would be discriminating against them the rule was wrong, (blame the BSPA for that) so had to be corrected immediately
  12. Its not the Kennett / Nichols ruling that make people not take the sport seriously, its the fact that riders can ride for two different teams in the same country at the same time that people cant understand
  13. It didn't apply to all riders, riders with a higher average were allowed to ride in the CL it discriminated against riders that didn't ride in the CL last season. the old rule was applied to all riders in what is now the PL with an average over 6, so didn't discriminate against anyone
  14. It just fails on all three 1,.Make sense. 2. Fair. 3. Be applied equitably (same for everyone). the points limit doesn't fail on any
  15. Points limit is the same for all teams, all teams agreed to the points limit Nichols and Kennett were not treated the same as other eiders of equal or even better ability I don't see what there is to misunderstand about this
  16. or is that extra meetings that have no importance at all, in other words just put on to make the numbers up not having a dig at Sheffield its just the way speedway is at the moment
  17. Looking at the fixtures, because of holidays and free Thursdays I will not see any speedway in June, but if we do well again I will be able go in freezing October
  18. Graversen won us the league last year, if he is at reserve he would do OK
  19. i get BT sports for free on my broadband contract
  20. Surely they don't get beaten every time at such a neutral track?
  21. So if you have a team with Aussies in it you will have an advantage, so does that make it a neutral track?
  22. Have Redcar ever had a team capable of winning the league? Sheffield always seem to have home track advantage when they have a good team, it disappears when we don't I really don't understand this fact
