Unbelievably people are actually bidding on this. Love the desciption, "A FASCINATING, RARE SPEEDWAY COLLECTOR'S

 

Every speedway pits is littered with them because they are just rubbish and costly to dispose of legally. Might have a trip to Kirky Lane and fill my car with them, make myself a fortune

I think it's quite cool. Obviously my wife would go berserk if I hung an old tyre on the wall of our spare bedroom though.

TBF, i think you're missing the point here. It's a signed item for a charity auction. You often find people paying over the odds at charity auctions. Yes it's rubbish and has a real value of probably negative figures but if someone wants to donate to charity and get some "memorabilia" in exchange then good for them!

 

Personally I'd prefer to pay the £27 the winner is currently committed to towards the eradication of cats. They rubbish in my garden and sit no my car leaving muddy footprints and hair over it. Little gits.

It isn't a charity, it is someones hobby if you like, rescuing stray cats, and as you alluded to, I would send him some hessian sacks and a few bricks to drown the pests.

 

TBH though, even as a charity auction the item should have some value, either financial or otherwise, and an old tyre, with or without any signatures doesn't

I'd say if they're getting £22 for some rubbish they've done a bloody good job! The BSPA should be offering them a role to sell British Speedway to the masses!

He's one of my reasons for hating cats. He's evil. But with him being asleep on my bed I also know it's not him that leaves muddy prints on my car and hair on the roof, it's someone elses. Should I ever find it then I'll happily kick the little bastard!

I presume you are referring to Manchester cats, with this being a Belle Vue thread ...

Would be happy with that and I think it's highly likely that's what we'll see

 

God I hope not - that looks very average to me.

 

No number 1 & not sure on Richie Worrall - was v poor last year in PL so he'd have to step his game up big time in the EL.

 

Hope to be stronger than that

Next season was always going to be tough to begin with for the Aces, we won't have any home advantage until all our riders have dialed into the new track, and there's no guarantee that any of them will, so the above team with 3 of our own asset's (4 if Cook signs as an asset) could be as good as any other we can build on the present points system.

 

Personally though I would somehow like to fit J Doyle in as our new number 1.

I too would love to see Doyle as the Aces number 1. Imagine, the Aces ending heat 1 with a heat advantage, something we rarely saw in 2015. :wink:

Much more important that we have a points advantage after heat 15 and we saw plenty of that in 2015.

 

I would also like to see Doyle in the team but his high average means we would lose out lower down the order.

 

It's a pity that at the AGM the promoters couldn't see beyond the end of their noses. J Doyle could be lost to the EL because of the low team average.
