Someone needs to have a word with the start marshall, this thread seems to have completed more than 4 laps of the same & it's still continuing Darcy is here, will ride GP's, EL etc so it's end of story

Yep, has to be Live for me too. I tend to Sky+ & watch about an hour or two behind just to blitz through adverts & ramblings. If anything is beyond the Live feed the result is already known and the interest is lost to watch isn't there.

pleased to hear that Mr R. Fingers crossed all i's & t's get dotted & crossed

because???????? Don't keep us hanging Phil, or is this a speedway star exclusive story?????

it's not snowing where I am. It's 25c +. Pre season sunshine :-)

Kerr could be a top rider. Has the style & skill the only thing that stopped him hitting an 8 average last year & possibly the year before is his mechanical gremlins. Always the same problems, blowing engines or dropping chains, more so than any other rider I've seen. If he can get past that he'll hit a 5+ average for Newcastle easy, a real genuine class rider

Well, after that statement I will agree with Ward. Time to move on. He'd been fined but given no convictions against his name which shows that it wasn't taken to seriously by the court. Wrapped knuckles is all that's needed here. It certainly doesn't come across as bad as the Bournemouth Eco made it out to be. No conviction, no issue IMO See you in 2013 Darcy and hope you have a good season and rip up the GP's

Question. I've seen many riders on Twitter say they use Snus to give them a boost, any idea what that is as I have no idea???

The sun is shining, clear blue sky. THE SPEEDWAY IS COMIMG

It's because he not a Skater Boy.

I think that's true but from my understanding is that Sky ain't getting the returns from sponsorship / advertising. Viewing figures ain't the problem

So it seems we've sold a promising young prospect Simon Nielsen to Leicester. 1, I didn't even know we owned him 2, 2 years time should be ready for an EL reserve 3, Are we convinced the asset system is coming to an end so selling riders asap 4, Speedway at the NA is coming to an end (very much doubt with more stadium improvements) It's a sale I personally don't understand!!!!!

With the riders announced do people really think they'll pull punters through the gates to make this series work???

:rofl: very professional of the UK Speedway Series :rofl:

So it's all Topinka's fault. Just want to make it clear that Topinka's meeting was announced at the Stars supporters meeting on the 28th November. Nobody has "Jumped in" or "stole their thunder" or what ever some have called it.

Very well explained fella.

This is exactly what I thought would happen from past history. The riders will pull out now as this puts their livelihood at risk & the riders announced won't have the financial backing to challenge it. Well done the BSPA / SCB in my opinion. Renegades should be exterminated from speedway.

Good line up with the complete Stars team available. Only question for me is it does make the Press day the following week pointless

Monster don't need speedway. At the time being they're using it to crack Eastern Europe knowing speedway is massive in Poland. Everywhere else Monster is covered by all other Motorsports. Monster will not as a brand be hampered by no speedway coverage in the UK. It's a very blinkered view if you think no live GP coverage in the UK is damaging the product. The only damage is to us supporters as those that do just watch GP's will be lost to speedway.

The last time Tai was in the GP's he made a mistake by running untried & untested Michael Lee tuned engines. This time around he'll be running pretty much identical motors as Darcy & Holder on PJR which will put him in a much stronger position. Does Tai have the ability? Of course he has, it's just going to come down to his mental strength. I've changed my mind on relection of Tai's chances and as long as the PJR's hold together he'll finish 11-12th in the series. I have no doubt about it

Just a thought. Wasn't something like this attempted a few years ago and riders were threatened to have their licences revoked if they took part in a non sanctioned speedway meeting????

Thats flattrack racing. They're not just motoX bikes used

But he wasn't offered enough. If an offer was all thats required to force transfers through then all assets whould only be offered £1 per point then put up for transfer. It isn't as simple as people make it out to be.

I do see weaknesses in thiss team. Itt's called injuries. we'vee been hurt so many times when it comes to chances of winning the EL / top league. I believe this is the best side outt of all others so far but I also expect us to finish outside the top 4. It's just what us Stars fans who's been around long enough expect, failier but massive amounts of hope. We are the biggest club in speedway history to never win the top league.

It's the first time "legal implications" has been mentioned in any press release thus far. That is the most important part of the whole report. For that to come off Troy & Hans will have to raise the case themselves & I can't see them doing that in a million years. I does seem Peterborough hold all the cards here as Swindon really need Hans & Troy as they've left themselves no back-up plan
