I wonder if Emil is going to take part in GP Qualifiers for 2015? The way he has withdrawn from this season's series is hardly likely to guarantee him a Wild Card place whenever his advisers say that it is OK for him to return to the GP's. ATB Dave

Ricky Wells, until his purchase by Wolves one or two years ago. (Not sure which year) ATB Dave

So now you DO want to reduce the QUALITY? ATB Dave

Link to the Greyhounds statement:- http://covdogs.com/ “We have been told that Coventry Stadium is to be sold and believe that developers are involved in the purchase. Our lease expires in about two and a half years and though Mr Sandhu, our landlord, has done all he can to support us we have no assurances that we can obtain an extension of that lease. Our strategy has always been to develop a strong betting product for sale to media, but with no long term guarantees we have little prospect of signing any contracts, and can therefore no longer support the significant financial losses. Reluctantly, therefore, we will be closing the greyhound operation after the meeting on Saturday night. We would like to thank all trainers and staff who have supported us over the past 2 years, particularly Harry who has worked tirelessly to promote our business at his own personal expense.” ATB Dave

A bit alarmist methinks! Nobody has said that Speedway will not see out it's current lease! (At least two year's remaining) Should make for an interesting 'Tapes Up' programme on BBC CWR on Monday evening. ATB Dave

It depends how you define QUALITY. We've all seen pretty dull races between the so called top riders, and one of the BEST races I can ever recall was between James Sarjeant and Dan Greenwood last season in the NL Pairs. Now that was a QUALITY race! ATB Dave

So Mr Holder and the like get their way with fewer meetings in Britain, so that they have more time for lucrative European meetings? What about the other riders, with no European meetings? How are they supposed make a living? ATB Dave

The link from DutchGrasstrack seems to still be showing the practice. I found the live stream (below.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tQb8fIvJl8 ATB Dave

Maximum of 3 digits. 1 - 15 Reserved by the FIM. Nicki Pedersen is ranked 5, so he can have 5 or a number of his own choice, up to 3 digits. 666? ATB Dave

As others have said, a character and a Gentleman. I can vividly recall the first words he ever spoke to me on the centre green at Bradford. (My first opportunity to photograph from the inside of a track, thanks to my association with the Speedway Mail.) I wandered up to the first turn and positioned myself in what I thought was the perfect place, until a voice behind me shouted.... "OY MATE! GET OUTTA MY F*****G SHOT!" Despite that embarrassing (for me) first meeting Alf would always have time for a chat whenever our paths crossed. RIP Alf.

It may be a little harder than you think, to come up with a format that keeps the reserves away from the Heat Leaders and also gives everyone a start from each of the gate positions. Give it a try and see what you can come up with? ATB Dave

We could see a reverse of the Martin Smolinski scenario next year. An improving young Brit, guaranteed to stay at Reserve, could be hitting 18-21 at the crucial end-of-season chase for the Play Off's. ATB Dave *edit for punctuation

Thanks R&R ATB Dave

Thanks again f-s-p. I tried to PM you but it said you were unable to take any more messages. One more thing.... Can you tell me the Reserve Riders (21&22) for the first three rounds. I have searched the FIM site, but it doesn't list reserves if they didn't get a ride. Thanks, ATB Dave

Thanks for your help guys. All sorted now. ATB Dave

I have found the heat results for the Rzeszow Longtrack meeting on Sportowefakty but I am unable to finish updating my Series Spreadsheet until I find out the Gates chosen for the semi-finals and Final. Does anyone have any idea where I could find these? Also, can anyone help with the meanings of the non-finishing codes as posted on Sportowefakty? (w), (d5), (w/u), (d3), (u4) and (t) I presume the numbers indicate which lap an incident occurred? Thanks in advance for any help anyone is able to give. ATB Dave
