What an apt username

While it's great to hear rider interviews etc. I do think some of them are a little too honest and maybe they should engage their brain before talking, in the last week alone I've heard: Max James saying he doesn't really care how many points the team scores as long as he's had a good night Nicolai Klindt say he can't work out how to set a bike up to run in the cold weather and neither can Steve Worrall Jason Edwards say that sometimes you've got to "play the system" with guesting. Indicating that if you don't raise your average for "your" team then you can get more guest bookings and fill your boots in those meetings! Sometimes ignorance is bliss

NIMBY

We get that at Leicester when the track is perfect! No excuse to abandon a meeting

Seriously though, there are far many more football clubs, Football doesn't rely on doubling up to keep their domestic leagues running and also doesn't "rely" on foreign talent

Poole legend Malcolm Simmons? Poole legend Michael Lee? Both done time

2 out of 67 ain't bad! That's very nearly a 3% success rate

Personally, I think he deserves a 2nd chance, if he blows it then that's down to him

There was a certain other southern based Australian rider who you more than welcomed back on a number of occasions

At King's Lynn, like we do for all of our finals?

So, if Buster says he wants to run 3 riders in a race with a team over the points limit... the authorities cave in? The point here for me is that it's clearly in the rules, he's just picked the wrong excuse! If you sign up for the rules you should abide by them

While his bro went in the other direction from hero to zero

We'll find out as there is no defence for this breach of the regulations

According to the regulations there is no such thing as an under strength team anymore.

To be fair thinking about it he shouldn't really even be involved, it's a clear beach of the SCB's regulations, so it will be Neil Vatcher's and the sports regulators biggest test.

Insurance for when Birmingham fold or Buster pulls the trigger

This could/should be his biggest test

He can't hold a gun to the sports head or else every tom, dick and Harry will try it on, I think the minimum for Tv is 6 teams

And so it continues, spiralling down the plug hole

It says in the rules that the SCB could have forbidden the postponement, it's unclear whether they have or haven't, as there's an inquiry, I assume they did forbid the postponement and Buster did it anyway.

The 2 clubs I've attended consistently over the years have their tapes up time at 19:32 Coventry & Leicester... now if you're unfortunate enough to attend a mickey mouse outfit where the meeting starts when people can be arsed to amble out onto the centre green then I can understand where any confusion can come from.

Buster needs a reserve for Thursday...

Exactly!

Something to do with Swindon wanting to rider Thursdays I think

He should run IoW style then in the NORA
