That was a long time ago, when engines had total loss oil systems. Modern GMs retain the oil in the sump.

Well, they're expensive ... I bought a length of carpet from a supermarket for £5!

Which is where I stand ... you will be welcome!

They can't be until the hearing has been held to establish the true facts.

It's just the same as any other major city in this country, no more or less.

Birmingham speedway started (again) in 2007, when they finished IIRC 3rd in the league. Except for the injury-wrecked 2009, they were usually in the top few teams. They went into the Elite league in 2012, and as I said, was top of the league in 2013 but lost the play-off final when Poole signed the World Champion for the event! They won the National League in 2015 and 2016, but left it too late to sign good riders on re-joining the Championship in 2019, and have never got going since, due to various changes and Covid.

Since 2019, when we re-entered the Championship. Before that, the Brummies were usually near the top of whichever league they entered: even topping the Elite League one year.

In fact, the only things the covers hide are the fuel tank and the carburettor.

If they were to replace Dan, it would be to fit in a rider (who?) with a higher average. But then they would have to replace Joe with a lower average: but they already have one 2-point rider (Sam Hagon), which wouldn't work. Dan at least deserves a good run in the team.

Well, that's a relief ... what did he do to get the bullet?

Sacked by whom? Ipswich, Leicester, Birmingham?

Not all of them were young, some simply came to the end of their careers, some went back to their homelands, at least one had zero talent.

Thanks; done!

Have you a web address? The Edinburgh site just gives 'EMTV', whatever that is, not a streaming service.

Note heat 6: The first time anyone has gone below 59 seconds in a long time! It was Justin Sedgemen.

Do Edinburgh do streaming for this match?

Six: Sam Hagon didn't score, though he was always on the pace. Needs to learn to make the starts at Championship standard,

According to the Speedway Star, Boughen's father was taken ill, and Ashton went home with him, neither realising that this was against the rules.

Well, he wasn't called 'Little P' for nothing! I stood near him at the P&P day last year, and he only came up to my shoulder. The trouble with him this year was that, like others in the team, he seems to have lost his gating skills.

Like, banning any rider with an average of, say, over 8 in the Premiership from riding in the Championship? That would mean that riders with an awkward average would get a team place instead of being unemployable, as now.

Badly needed.

No it isn't. Anyone who thinks that this will solve everything is deceiving themselves.

Who beat them at Plymouth!

Does anyone know if there is going to be a stream for this match?

Not really; he has always scored very well at Perry Barr this season.
