Unfortunately, I didn't... there they were, in my living room, in their full 55-inch glory... put me right off my sweet and sour chicken balls

There was a lovely view of Paul Hurry's ball sack in tonight's match Redcar vs Oxford just before the super heat

They didn't have the big temporary stand in 2021, if the prices this year are to pay for that it seems an almost suicidal commercial decision.

There's an old sign dumped in the maintenance yard behind the south stand that I've noticed... I think it said £23 Was this the last year that IMG had the rights?

Hmm... haven't we lost 3 times at home this season?

The others got a straight suspension, Kurtz has effectively been given an ultimatum

Most of the team rode like complete wobblers last night, especially in the early races, Cook, and all the best to him, he was having back spasms which must have been frightening looked like he'd never been on a speedway bike before in his first race!

Seriously?!? I missed that... not a good day for Leicester at all!

City are looking for a new manager... I wonder if we could do a double? I've not seen a Lions performance as bad as this since the Blackbird Road days!

If there is, give him a race suit... can't do much worse than this shower

The one saving grace is Doyley ain't riding!

Becker needs to be riding CL

Absolutely pathetic so far from the Lions! Just rank bad speedway riding! England footballers would do better! Usual caveat, Lawson excepted

And in the GP qualifier... just not Belle Vue matches! He may well have aggravated his injury... like Covatti and Musielak, but for some reason they got bans and still nobody has explained to me the difference

Speculation... but when @Phil The Ace posts it, it's usually true

There is no back tracking... it's as if nothing has been previously said, it's like she's got a protective boot in her mouth

They should try and get it back dated to when the offence originally happened

Forget that... what about his legendary protective boot? When you do get it I think you should seriously consider donating it to the Speedway museum, at Paradise Park, where it could become a major exhibit.

Normally in legal documents/rules there's a force majeure clause, I would have thought both Doyle and Tungate should have been covered by this, why a flight delay in a foreign country trumps a traffic delay in a foreign country I'm not quite sure. Neither should have been banned imo... or both (definitely neither)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the rules don't mention missed flights, broken down planes, traffic jams etc. It just says the SCB have to be notified when and why a rider is missing. It then seems to be up to the SCB if and what any sanction will be. Why Tungate gets a ban and Doyle doesn't has never been explained. There's far too many 7 and 28 day bans being handed out for my liking.

He missed the meeting

If only that were true, but once you start basing rules on common sense... or opinion as I would call it, you're onto a loser

It doesn't really matter that he missed his flight tbh, he missed the meeting which is what the rule says

This has already happened, granted it wasn't Poland... it was Slovakia. Also Tungate got a ban Doyle didn't... And you can throw Lee Complin into the case, as he was banned with no facility allowed until the next day!
