Make alternative plans folks

There are some dodgy rules that need looking at during the winter, this is one of them. The use of RR & guests is confusing and farcical at times. In the past few weeks Rye House have suffered more than most in this respect. Only allowed an NL guest at Glasgow in the KOC for Seb Tresarrieu, on long track duty in Europe, which cost us our place in the next round, but the Bandits can use a track expert when Kus is clearly fit to race. Teams manipulate the rules to suit themselves. Any other sensible team manager would do the same.

Weather forecast is shocking. Looks like I'll be spending half the day being dragged around Meadowhall Shopping Centre

Bandits at home on Sky guarantees an away win. Hope the cameras have a wide angle lens so we can see the long gaps between the riders during the races

My third visit to the OTA this year. Reckon the Bandits will score more than we did, but not much more

If by a miracle the Rockets manage a win I won't be responsible for my actions

I'm not letting her drive all the way to Sheffield and back alone. It's with a heavy heart that I do this, but my lady and unborn child must come first

Nothing like a home meeting against the underperforming Rockets to get your confidence back. Unfortunately gonna miss this due to a double booking

Silvers loyalty to riders is the biggest hurdle in Rye House getting anywhere near to the team they were in the mid 2000's. His stubbornness is killing the club

Don't blame John Sampford. I doubt he has any input into rider selection. I'm prepared to give this season up and look forward to next year when the money spent on the air fence would've been recouped. Then we may see a team put together that can challenge. If may be too late by then as those who have drifted away may never return

Calling off a meeting 10 days before it's s'posed to run due to a football match on TV when you've had 4 months notice doesn't help the cause either.

Any chance of this objector kicking the bucket anytime soon?

Didn't the FIM offer to pay any fines levied by the local council for going over the 9.30 curfew for the GP Qualifier?

How can you criticise someone who's prepared tracks for World finals? Surely he knows what's best?

All joking aside, speedway clubs just don't have the finances to provide the kind of medical cover necessary for incidents like this. Like it or not speedway in this country is still run on a shoestring budget. The compulsory air fences rule has all but crippled clubs, most having to go cap in hand to their supporters to pay for them. Any additional financial burden will kill it

Could be that the person in question was taken ill himself and showed symptoms of drunkeness. Nowhere near as funny as being pi$$ed though

I should think Redcar have grounds to demand a restaging. Berwick Speedway have responsibility to provide adequate medical coverage. This seems less than adequate and could well have cost Redcar a point at least

Is anyone sober in Berwick on a Saturday night?

They put their necks on the line for our entertainment. How dare you criticise them!!!

Can't stand all that crap. I say it how it is. If a riders crap I say so. They put their necks on the line every time they go out. Thanks, but it won't stop me having my say.

Germans are still in the competition, so it ain't too bad

I've no problem with Glasgow or any other team using the rules to their favour. It's the rules that need looking at. Made for a close, entertaining meeting

How can you have an Elite League second string as a guest reserve in the Premier League?Who makes these rules up?
