A month? 3 months? 6 months? A year? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterborough made a change outside of the transfer window due to a long term injury. Belle Vue were initially stopped (by a rival promoter on the BSPL top table) but cited the previous application of the rule. The SCB agreed that rules should be applied the same and the rule book won out and the Aces could make the signing. In sport playing by the rules is important and the loose application or down right breaking of rules over the last couple of decades has had a big effect on crowds, especially the old school that made up the largest percentage of fans. No rules, no fair competition, no point. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why doesn't Dan use Joe's Ipswich kevlars they look to have the same build , and I'd expect they have very similar if not the exact same sponsors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used his own suit with a race jacket for the meetings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin bass Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Dan started off slowly but has been in great form the last month in both league and individual meetings, long may it continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has certainly shut a few people up with his performances of late! Lets hope he continues - but we have to remember the early days of any promising riders career are never a linear thing form will go up and down - as long as the overall trajectory is up than all is good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badge Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 Does anyone know a couple of witches supporters who went to Oxford meeting last night? The guy they met at turnstile wants to get in touch for refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickH114 Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 Emil hardly ever rides in heat 15 when the result of the meeting is done & dusted, even when he’s unbeaten or top scorer, maybe that’s his choice, a cost cutting issue, who knows.

No idea however Emil certainly seems to be very happy at Ipswich, hopefully the league structure & club finances allow him to return next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope so its been a real pleasure witnessing his skill this season. In relation to the other point - last season Doyle also passed up heat 15 on a few occasions for a variety of reasons if ther meeting was won - I know one was he'd burst an eardrum and didn't feel like taking the extra ride. Maybe Emil likes to gives others the chance to have another ride and earn more money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had his good meetings and looks like he's pulled his finger out scoring double figures 4 out of the last 6 meetings and it's no coincidence we've started winning more meetings when we're carrying so many people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
