  1. It seems not... perhaps it was the fact that I run a successful business that counted against me? Or I can't drive a Tractor... or use a microphone?
  2. Perhaps they're waiting to hear back from the Job Centre about the replacement for Rob Godfrey?
  3. Outside of the outside of the box idea... just give it to Poole
  4. Nicki Pedersen is/was the rider that immediately springs to mind for me. He's only really interested in coming first and the amount of times you just see him giving up when he's at the back is an insult to fans.
  5. So that's the reason we had to rush to close the season at KL Good to know
  6. The pay masters at Eurosport probably have to ratify any changes
  7. They couldn't complete the season on time there's no chance of completing the AGM on schedule!
  8. I used to find Speedway quite a good 2nd half attraction when going to watch the Speedway
  9. I think they're more suited to the open spaces of grass tracks aren't they. Used to watch them in the 2nd halfs at Cov back in the day and it was all too predictable I'm afraid afraid. If the "outfits" did make it to the start they'd often fail during the race and the only passing you ever really saw were if the Pinfold's didn't make the start. They put a few full meetings on around the country i seem to remember but i was never tempted to attend.
  10. It's a lovely day here in Leicester for a Grand Final 2nd leg... after a really dry week... just saying
  11. Looking at some of the teams that are being put together in Sweden they don't appear to be in that much trouble.
  12. They're prepared to not run a world cup final to keep on schedule and we're still messing about trying to run a crappy Jubilee Trophy, 2 extremes there!
  13. It's the T20 Cricket World Cup Final at the MCG on Sunday, if it's rained off, they're holding it on the Monday... if that's rained off the trophy is shared and everybody moves on... what a great idea!
  14. They didn't like what was happening with the JT and they pulled out without penalty... perhaps Leicester should have done the same instead of running a meeting that was always going to be financial and sporting suicide at KL?
  15. Of course it wasn't "our" home leg... no where in that press release does it say it's our home leg, in fact it even states "we realise we are having to sacrifice home track advantage"
  16. No, I don't blame Poole at all, they should enjoy their win, however hollow, there's not much to be cheery about these days after all. I think if it were challenged in a court of law though it would be deemed to be illegal
  17. Where does it say this? Did they? Where does it say this?
  18. Judged by Poole fans no doubt. King's Lynn is not Leicester's home track though, Leicester ride at Beaumont Park, that is their home. I don't think you'll find many people from outside Poole that think Leicester's home is in King's Lynn
  19. I think you know, in your heart of hearts. Leicester never had a home leg, rules clearly state that the winner is the team with the most points after the "home" and "away" legs". It would never stand up in court
  20. It looks like you may well win an illegal Jubilee Trophy to go with your illegal Championship win... that's some double, even for Poole
  21. Personally, I think I'd like to see the NDL done away with and all clubs should be required to run a 4/5 man team in a 8 or 9 race "2nd half" event.
  22. It doesn't really matter whether there's an independent body or not, if the organisation/administration isn't in place we end up with a totally chaotic season like we've just had. Danny Ford is right there are some good people involved in the sport they're just not being led properly with poor admin
