Ellis riding for Sheffield tonight, so he's not banned... yet

blimey we're scraping the barrel of things to complain about now In fact maybe Greg's hair deserves it's own thread?

Perhaps you should be in his corner at GP's instead of 3 times World Speedway Champion Jason Crump

Who was the team manager? Stead and Allen?

That sounds perfect!

For me, the current cream of the crop Tom Brennan should be averaging 8 or 9 points in the 2nd tier of British speedway currently he's under 7

Spot on! Great Britain Speedway Team has arguably the best junior programme in Speedway, even the envy of Poland apparently and then dumps it's developed riders into a 2nd league flooded with top league talent. The likes of Leon Flint, Tom Brennan, Joe & Dan Thompson, Jack Thomas, Anders Rowe, Drew Kemp, Dan Gilkes, Jordan Jenkins, Jason Edwards & Jordan Palin should be heat leader/ top second string standard in the CL instead they're second string / reserves. It's really all a bit of a mess at the moment with the Polish restrictions and PL only having a 6 team league and until that changes things are likely to remain the same

Sounds like the Sky/Virgin business model... I wonder if you can negotiate at the turnstile and get the same deal that the others are getting?

Very interesting, thanks for that. What happened to PJR, they were the ones to be on only a few years ago. Aren't there any German tuners these days? Kowalski engines fastest and slowest in quali

Wasn't Emil riding AshTech when he was at his best 5 or 6 years back?

I see that BT Sport and Eurosport are to merge so Speedway could be disappearing behind a pay wall once again... One can only hope that they keep Sam Ermolenko on the payroll or else it may not be worth subscribing to!

There's a great tribute here: http://www.wolvesfpa.com/remembering-nigel-pearson/

I notice that the cubs are riding in the 2nd half of a double header on Sunday the 5th of June against Berwick... I wonder if the promotion will be making the great gesture of not charging those that want to watch the senior team extra money when they have no interest in the cubs, unlike last season

I was literally behind you then... probably let you in, in front of me... like civilised people

I randomly switched Sky Sports on a few years ago and was staggered to hear him commentating on some other motor sport... may have been the Race of Champions or something like that Sam Ermolenko... the Stanley Unwin of Speedway

On the way out, nobody was in a rush to pay their pound on the way in

Sam Ermolenko should be given his own show! An hour long analysis show... comedy gold

give it a wash then

Jesper B( Bruun) Monberg, Tom P (Paarup) Madsen parp

Niels Kristian Iversen

Hans Nørgaard Andersen... but he dropped the Nørgaard

Michael Palm Toft

Philip Hellström Bängs, don't know whether this is double barrelled in the same way as British names are

Not if you're not a queue jumper it wasn't, saw one moron in front of me in a great big black Ford Ranger (I think) almost get into a road rage incident as he barged his way into the queue instead of joining the back... he must have a very small penis

I thought Leicester were the new Exeter with our bumps
