Jeez, that was tough going. The rambling and silent pauses were excruciating. so many wasted opportunities. But good for the Workington fans to hear the news I’m sure.

Something to bear in mind is the deeper repercussions of signing Jason Garrity. In Scottish soccer, when a couple of clubs tried to sign a very talented, but flawed player called David Goodwillie, the negative reaction didn't necessarily come from other clubs or supporters. In one case, a club was informed by the local council that, due to their announcement of signing him, the lease on their ground was to be terminated, another reaction came from major sponsors at another club withdrawing their funding. David Goodwillie has never been tried or convicted of the offence widely reported, but "The Court of Public Opinion" has decided football no longer wants or needs him. Might Garrity's future be ordained in the same way?

I'm heading towards my 50s and I'd love all that. Youth today are addicted to every day statistics. Gaming, sport, fashion, music etc are all statistic driven. Many under 30s are guided by statistics over 'the eye test'. Even falsified stats today are believed by a lot, governments knowingly issue false statistics on a regular basis. TV ads knowingly display false statistics. How many products do you see with "Voted No1 by the general public." It's another thing the Promoters Association are terrible at, hoodwinking the public. That old saying "Speculate to Accumulate" still rings true today, but in a different way. Just use Statistics. "British Speedway, Watch by 30 Million People Around the World." The public don't need to know that that's since 1932 🤫

As someone pointed out to me the 8 percent reduction for every season off is for Brits only. As for TJ I’m really not sure, haven’t seen anything for a while following his injury which was a fair bit ago now.

Anyone any idea when the fixtures maybe released ? Got some gigs ( tribute bands ) to book, but comets comes 1st

Doesn't know where his computer camera is.

Is TJ fit?

I can imagine dreamboat Phil would be well up for it 😂

Oh yes

Even Musk would ban it!!!

Yes, a topless calender, that's what is needed! 12 promoters as youve never seen them before (when sober). Fire-up the Grok!

Just Over 6.10 after 2.5% Reduction.

So it's Drew Kemp, then?

Oh no.

Need to give him a wide berth

It would indeed. Be interesting to see how long they danced to his tune. You want an average changing - no problem, a guest when it’s not allowed - fine or a foreigner who’s not eligible - go on then. You want what? sorry no. Hey come back, we need you.

Possible, but again it’s the only one that is inaccurate. Ipswich has been removed from Doyle’s etc.

Is Charles Wright in that catagory? Okay at Foxhall but better on the poorer ipswich tracks like Belle Vue and Sheffield

Maybe the Tai entry is just a hangover from last year? ie hasnt been removed rather than it having been added?

I’d rather have a junior than tungate. No doubting his ability but his attitude stinks

4.53 just enough for Simon Lambert to fit into

I’d rather have a junior than tungate. No doubting his ability but his attitude stinks

If it is indeed Garrity who takes one of the two spaces left, what average would be left for the final spot?

Speedway is in his DNA and he mentioned a Polish club in the article yesterday so whilst he said he wants out he may be tempted if the opportunity arises and he could make a difference. Imagine if other clubs decided to look at the alternative given the current operating model is drab, boring and will never attract a new younger generation of supporters. Today people want a quick fix and action not 15 heats drawn out over two hours on average. The sport needs to be innovative and try something different, not the same old format and it needs to stop the riders dictating when, where and how they will ply their trade. It is not just about the riders.

Two of those who were involved in ‘bending ,manipulating and actually breaking the rules are still on the top table and, at that time, for their own benefit. They still wield the power.
