  1. Past hour
  2. Don’t think Vinnie will be in the East of Scotland next year.
  3. The Regulation says, splendidly ambiguously: "012.1.11 Leaving the Track A rider whose machine crosses the inner edge of the track with 2 wheels must be disqualified ..." It doesn't even say "with 2 wheels at the same time", which is what everyone interprets the regulation as meaning. Even so: "...it's been explained that both wheels had gone on the line he therefore left the track." is totally incorrect. If that was the case, riders would be excluded in just about every match.
  4. Heard we a going for a strong top 4 next season. 1 mature and three younger lions
  5. I think we’re all assuming the ‘one rider over 8.00’ ruling will be retained meaning Kye Thomson will be the Edinburgh no.1
  6. Today
  7. What has any of this got to do with Scunthorpe in 2027?
  8. I'd pass on Victor Palovaara quicker than Bomber and Kyle do on track round Ashfield. He can gate but goes backwards quickly after that, and quits like a Frenchman once he's been passed I would guess it's about half right. I expect Leon Flint to be back and the bottom end to be weaker to fit him in
  9. Would make sense for the Brit u21 to be a Brit u24 as Brits tend to develop later than Poles and Danes. We'll find out over the next few months. Note that nothing has been said as yet if the u21 foreigner gets a different average to the current rules. It was 6 originally, as riders dropping down got their average doubled and couldn't go above 12. Riders going up got their average halved. At the time it was designed to encourage people to step up, but that has long since changed
  10. Yes, and age wasn't the issue it was average. At that time the rules stated that any rider with a premiership/elite average of 6 or more (I think that was the figure) was ineligible to ride in the second tier.
  11. How many want to ride in Uk is questionable.
  12. If Sam Masters is leaving Oxford, could he come back to Edinburgh? 1. Sam Masters 2. 4.00er, Gustav Grahn? Dayle Wood? 3. Jonatan Grahn 4. Paco Castagna 5. Kye Thomson 6. Vinnie Foord 7. Jordy Lotus I know Paco isn't the most reliable rider ever, but I love him too much to leave him out
  13. People keep spouting football rules or tennis rules so why not do what tennis does? allow 2 challenges each? 1 in the races to 8 then another to possibly ht 16, if u dont use one u lose it?,
  14. It sounds like a recurring issue at Worky?!😉
  15. But they do have things in place... It's called the referee with rules for them to follow, and implement... The ref either just didn't see that the rules were broken, or maybe didn't understand the rule given the "on the line/over the line" ambiguity... What bafffles me more is why an appeal got held when, as was said in the statement, the result couldn't be changed anyway... What a complete waste of time if that was the only course of (non) action that could be allowed....
  16. The said rider is not the one you lot poached last season, it was the one from this season
  17. All clubs operate to different levels of agreement which should be between the rider and club, also today's riders are employed on a self employed basis, no one owns them anymore, surely it's up to the rider to have all the gear to do a job, you don't employ a plumber or builder and provide the tools for them to do a job 🤔
  18. The story is about an exhibition in the village of Arlington which features the stadium. It is an historical thing - nothing about future of speedway at that site.
  19. Anyway, Scunthorpe Promoter and BSPL Chair has now stated publicly on their website that he wants to 'move on' from the incident and bears no grudge against Poole. He looks forward to building a 1-7 to win the league next season........
  20. They surely should, if they promised to or were contracted to?
  21. Has there ever been a rider who generated so much hassle while possessing so little ability?
  22. “Best interest of the sport” overrules everything in the rule book.😂👍
