Dornier

Yes you`re right it was that. the two over eight rule was another year when the bees were penalised.

Wasn`t that the time that they brought in the new rule you could only have two riders above eight point average and Coventry had three ! don`t think it was so much about the points limit. but hey I might be wrong.

Seem to remember he was at Halifax with Reg Fearman.

Is that the chinese rider

I can only remember exception circumstances where everything was done within the rules and legal.

Perhaps thats why Poole are in the second division. !

Am not talking about the older Sheffield riders am talking about the older riders in general. I cant see the likes of Nicholls. Harris. Andersen. Pedersen flying to Australia for some practice.

Its looking less likely we`ll be seeing Nicki riding this year at Sheffield and I have to wonder if he`ll still be Sheffield bound next season. I think the older riders are more likely to suffer from match fitness issues after eighteen months out of the saddle.

Terrible news.

No it wasn`t but no doubt Poole will be showing that next week.

It wont be Greg Hancock he`s retired

It was fogged off at Halifax once which was also in a bowl.

Where`s he having his meal ?

On sale now. go to SGP website for link to booking site

Think his last meetings were at Halifax.

We`ll bring Bjerre or Fricke in

At the moment they`re individual riders. it remains to be seen if they gel as a `Team` Hopefully they`ll hit the ground running and get some early confidence. Don`t think they`re a bad bunch to say that they`ve been assembled from scratch !

Announcement in the Morning.

Great photos but got to admit I couldn`t put a name to a lot of them even though nearly all of them were from my era. Briggs. Broadbanks. Harkins. McMillan. King. Roynon. Middleditch. Straton. Stead Allen. Pratt. Morton. the others I couldn`t place a name.

They`re hoping its a bad dream

i didn`t know Colin North at all but this year at the British Final I parked up behind a car on the road side. A man got out of the car and opened the boot, I could see it was full of TengTools merchandise of which I spotted some TengTools caps. He picked up some caps and other stuff and began walking off to the stadium, I asked him were the caps for sale he pondered a second and said here you can have one. So I was shocked to see the photo of him on Twitter I will always remember that moment, it was a nice gesture. everytime I put my TengTools cap on I`ll think of him.

Howarth confirmed

Its called keeping your options open

I would think he`ll be wanting to come back to Sheffield now they`re top flight if hes fit.

Will Josh Bates be coming back?
