About time someone just slapped him around once and for all.

Scott who?

To put it simply, do we need another international body like the EMU when we already have the FIM. ?

Pointless meeting so another set of fat cats can savour the best hotels and first class travel for doing nowt.

Seems Ole olsen wont let refs exclude NP either......

IWBIWISI

Correct no mug came forward.

Ex*t*r? who are they.... swindon reading used to be the matches

Apart form Plech and Jancarz the rest were crud

What does a small dolphin cost? and tank costs?

Just leave him on the beach with his binoculars, laptop and knotted hankie

Looks like it Hagonshocker, she must want his mobile number.

If thats all he has the potential to become then i doubt he has much chance of getting a ride over here.

Dont read too much into that result, it was indoors so isnt much of an indicator of form. Looks like the Czech was a tad lucky to win as he had 2 points less than Risager.

Have it every 4 years at Pardubice andd then have 6 man races to peoples hearts content. But there again that wouldnt fit in with BSI aims to turn the sport as boring as F1.

Eeeeeek x 2

Eeeeeeeek

Very few of the posts elsewhere support your arguement that there should be no limitts to teams in speedway. What many say are that the cuts being made now to support the new teams are too severe and need to be lookedat again.

If we take your arguement as correct then such tactics the EL would soon be run with only the 3 or 4 richest teams running. Sport doesnt reflect life in so much that if fans dont believe they have a chance of winning or at best being competitive they wont support you. Thats a fact of life, look at the numbers of man u or arsenal shirts you see in Coventry.

The whole point as far as i can see, is that this rules divvys the riders up to spread them over all the teams including the 2 new ones. That prevents a repeat of the 95/96 1 league troubles. Bit of a convaluted way to get there though....

Wanna bet this rule doesnt exist next year as it will have done its job to divvy the riders out this year.

He He stevie boy, nice stir, The grading system is in all likelyhood here for 1 year only to prevent a reoccurance of the the one big league fiasco where some teams had no real heatleaders., so dont get too attached to it, The guests rule in principle looks good, but i pity teams that lose a their 2nd and 3rd heatleaders only to be replaced by PL riders, some real gubbings to be seen then. Or will special dispensation be seen? Can see this rule being revised once the sangria has cleared from the brains. The tac sub rule makes me laugh, again protecting poor riders and will squash the averages up even more than before. Tbh if the el wanted to save money they might as well ahve gone to 6 man teams, that had more credibity than this. Overall once the fine detail filters out we can get a clearer picture, but i cant help feeling another rules meeting will be held in Jan/Feb once ppl get thinking of the implications of some of these changes.

Agreed 110% lets watch all the teams sign assessed riders who mysteriously struggle then suddenly regain their form when their team strengthens up. There will be more teams to add to the scroll of dishonour like Hull 2001, Newcastle 2000 to 2003, and all the usual suspects in the EL.

In effect its basically rider control all over again.

Plus me. canterbury = 1 line track
