  1. 'Chicken and egg' springs to mind. If the intention is to offer training/practice facilities and start in the NL, they could have the opportunity to grow their own riders, which would be 'healthy' and is really how all teams should operate, ideally. I realise some fans won't watch/support, so called, wobblers, but many wobblers become good riders!

     

    Just lately I seem to see more wobblers and fallers watching tired out riders in the Elite League


  2. Until recently I was under the impression that the use of mobile phones at all tracks was banned from the pits area during racing

     

     

    SCB Rule

     

    4.4.1
    A mandatory ban on the use, from 15 minutes before Heat 1 until the end of the Official
    Meeting of all Mobile telephones, iPads, Laptops, Tablets etc. and other external
    communication equipment within the Pits/Paddock area and the Referee / Announcer room.The exceptions are:the recording of Heat/Meeting Results,the playing of music via the Stadium PA system,approvedlive broadcasts

    or to summon the Emergency Services

  3. Neil Middleditch has just tweeted. ...

     

    ""It's what most doctors do these days isn't it? He wasn't racing or putting anyone else's life at risk on the track."

     

     

    I'm surprised if Neil Middleditch tweeted that, he should know the rules by now

     

    SCB Rule

    4.2
    BANNED SUBSTANCES
    (ALCOHOL, DOPING & DRUGS)
    Riders and Officials are forbidden to use
    or to suffer from the effects of using alcohol, drugs
    or any doping product
    and
    testing may be carried out at any Meeting or Training Session.

  4. Slowing down to try and get your partner through to join you is one way of making it a bit more watch-able, with a lot of riders I'm afraid as soon as they hit the front they are gone, If you have the experience to get your partner through and sit behind him, let him win, you get the same points on your pay packet.

     

    The sharing of riders is a killer, but it's a case that there aren't enough Speedway riders for the amount of clubs in this country, we desperately need to bring on more new riders but with little or no 2nd halfs being run at tracks there is little chance of new blood coming through.
