Completely agree. Sedgman is a mediocre second string type rider. Never seen him do anything of note. But if his average fits he is useful in that respect.

Who said Starman had been banned? I never saw anyone say that. Figment of your imagination Brum? That post doesn't say he was banned. If you are going to make up stuff make sure no one can go and check. It makes you look silly.

Seems the track work is all done and fingers crossed it produces some great racing in 2017. When is it going to be tested out? Or will riders not get a chance until P&P? Love to hear some feedback by a rider on the new shape.

Who is going to pay the riders wages? Certainly not the home club.

Kodi is not the issue. Kodi is a completely legal piece of software. Its the third party app producers that piggy back on Kodi that is the problem. Kodi doesn't want them but can't stop them from using their platform. If Kodi stop third party apps the software will be rendered useless for all legal apps that use it. Nothing will change and the courts have no power over app writers living outside the UK, even if they could trace them, which would be extremely difficult. And even if they knew who they were a guy living in abu dahbi will probably just raise his middle finger and tell them to swivel.

There's a world of difference between sportdevil and sportsmania. Like old cine film that buffers compared to crystal clear HD. No buffering with sportsmania, and they cover about every sports channel in the world, with catchup as well. No free illegal stream compares. Fuzzy buffering saturday 3pm's or crystal clear hd with no buffering for a quid a week with everything else on top.

Sky sports for £2.50 a month? You must be in an extremely small minority.

Dont forget the premier league sell rights to many countries. Sky just have the rights for uk and Ireland. If a chinese company came in for the uk rights they would have to start from scratch with tv channels, a subscription service, advertising etc.

Doesn't matter who owns it they should get together to knock out a deal between themselves.

Best deal here. Sportsmania.eu. Every sports channel you can think of for £1 a week no buffering in HD. On kodi, ipad, whatever. Of course its illegal streams.

For the life of me I just don't understand why Sky and BT pay so much for the football rights. If I was Murdoch, I would ring up the boss of BT, meet up in a pub and knock out a deal that they offer the premier league ten percent of what they are currently offering. It would still be more than any other channel could offer so the Premier league would have to accept. Result? More for minority sports, cheap subscriptions and everyones happy except the clubs who would have to offer their players more realistic wages.

Sky sports showing less and less. The expense of te football finally coming home to roost. The saving of 500,000 is actually incorrect, as Sky wil loose subscriptions to bt as speedway fans cancel. When you consider Sky pay Tierry Henry 4 million a year to bore us with his fotball punditry, speedway was very good value for money. So no league speedway until the second half of the season. No reason why Kelvin Tatum can't come onboard with Chris Louis. Nigel Pearson has more to consider but it would be good to keep them together as they are very good and compliment each other. Hope the deal is decent for the clubs.

Dont get it. How long does it take to knock up a few dogs? A couple of years before they are old enough to race?

Absolutely ludicrous. If the photographer isnt available on a Saturday I am sure someones got a camera and a ladder to take a few snaps for the local rag.

OK. So given that its an extra week, have they now made the sensible decision to change to a Saturday?

So did anyone turn up yesterday afternoon at Brandon for a photo?

How can you defend Sandhu? 100% the reason Coventry are defunct.

Is there mass unemployment in Coventry? Because who the hell can get to Brandon for 3.30 pm on a week day?

Agree. There are a lot of angry people about at the moment but the bspa should not be blamed. Why on earth would they want a club to close? Imo they fell over backwatds to give as much time as possible.

I understand that. But. What is the point of living in a place where there is nothing social to do? Go to work come home to your Wimpey home. Go out? Where? its just houses. A society needs activities to attend. No point work, home, tv, bed, work, ...

Didn't Horton say Sandhu was helping with some type of financial input, and this has now been withdrawn?

Been out and just got in to read this news. Sad but expected. The minute Sandhu vandalised the stadium was the minute the club died. You dont remove your belongings by ripping out seats and smashing them up. Or use a grinder to cut down every lighting stantion. That was pure vandalism. He knew what he was doing. Making sure the damage was enough to spell the end for the speedway. He succeeded. The talk of putting it all back was always bs. I am convinced Brandon Estates is Sandhu. Otherwise why would a building company hide itself away in Jersey so no one could discover the owners? Brandon Estates would have no reason to hide who owns it, unless it was Sandhu. All this Brandon estates not allowing Sandhu into the stadium is utter guff. I can't blame Horton. Not his fault this Sandhu vandalised his stadium. There's only one person to blame and that is Sandhu. He vandalised the stadium, pure and simple. The move to Leicester was never going to work. When Horton said at the fans meeting recently that Brandon was off the table for this season I just knew this was coming. Sorry for the riders who are stuffed. Sorry for the fans who now have no team. Some can migrate to Leicester to get their fix but its not the same as supporting your own club. I hope the council get tough with the owners of the stadium and refuse point blank any planning permission for housing. Coventry isn't much of a hot spot for sport. Football and speedway knackered. Wasps enjoying a honeymoon period as new to the area but rugby is pretty boring to watch and that novelty will soon wear off. I enjoyed my trips to Brandon and the victories. They will be sorely missed.

Yes looked at it and its £279 return which isn't bad considering the distance. Finair or Aeroflot. Includes a 2 hour wait at Moscow. Only downside is flight times. Most are over nighters and very early returns. The return is like 6 am from Samara on Sunday. Now if the meeting was rained off its a long trip for nothing so you could put back to the Monday. So you would have the Sunday to kill in a Russian town in the backside of nowhere.

Easiest route to get there?

Far be it from me to defend Starman but badly bullied he most certainly was. Perhaps if you and Gavan didn't find every given opportunity to attack his intellect and ridicule him he would never have had the reason to attack back. Well you and others finally Succeeded and managed to stop him posting so you can be proud that your bully boy tactics finally worked.
