Sorry for trying to have a laugh constable comedy. I forgot only certain "elite" members are allowed to do that.

Ooh, could be libelous!

Where did you hear this?

Fair enough, I think probably a lot of people were under the impression that SGP owned it before and someone else took over and wanted to charge. I understand it takes time and money to do these things and I guess it still doesn't pay greatly so fair play for that. I always wondered what Apples cut was. That's almost a pound gone to start with! Thanks for your comments.

Great post. Be interesting to see his response as I also feel it is a bit misleading to call it a free app and then charge £2.99 (most apps cost 59p) for the useful content. I would also be interested to know how many have paid for it. Probably not that many. But I think most people would pay 59p so he would cover his costs far better that way. Also, why Snow Funk? It's the worst name for a speedway app and does nothing to draw you to it.

He always ignores relevant and factual posts, especially when it shows his lack of knowledge. Not that it matters, they're still there for all to see.

No will power ay?

Yes Steve. You sussed me. only 30 years as a rider, manager, sponsor and very little else. I'm a complete novice at this.

What if every rider put 2 points on their average?

Have you re-read some of the drivel you have posted? All of the above also applies to you. What's the weather like on Planet Shovlar?

You're pretty safe then Shovlar. But you are probably the most blinkered of them all. Another opinion dressed as fact. You should start writing novels, you have the imagination for it.

****

Oh my god! Is Shovlar the official source of speedway information now? Well if that's the case i'm confused as he also announced that Coventry wouldn't be in the EL in 2011. Work that one out.

You illustrate my point about you perfectly. Oh and i also win the prize..

That has been the consensus of opinion for some time.

Exactly, which has been my point all along. Either have a points limit or a limit on No.1s, not both. If a team wants to track 2 10 point riders under a 40 point limit they will pay the penalty by having a weaker tail. A team of middle order riders would probably increase their averages and be a stronger team anyway. We are living in a dictatorship!

If what you speculate is true, then i don't think it would be fair to clubs working to a one 8+ rider rule if Coventry tracked 2. But we are yet to see any evidence of this and i really find it hard to believe it would happen. But if it did, it would be unfair. But my other point was that you stated it unfair that Belle Vue can't get a number one. My response was this: You say it's unfair that Belle Vue can't get a number one, well this highlights the problem with this rider sharing scheme; when all the other clubs have taken their chosen 8.01 riders, this leaves a very limited choice to those left. Supposing HA was the only rider over 8.00 left and Belle Vue were the only team left without an 8.00+ rider, it then becomes something of an arranged marriage whereby Hans is told he has to ride for Belle Vue or miss out completely, and Belle Vue are told you must have Hans in your team or be understrength. What if Hans can get a better deal somewhere else and can't afford the terms Belle Vue are offering? What if Belle Vue don't want Hans? Basically the system is flawed.

answer my question then.

i agree, all this rule does is make speedway a pre-determined farce. On top of punishing teams and riders for being too successful we already have jokers (the clue is in the title) and golden tacticals to make the product look more interesting. What next? Maybe a rider who wins a race should have to swap bikes with the opposition? Oh god, BSPA i was only joking!

First of all, where have you got the information that Coventry want both HA and Harris? Secondly, you say it's unfair that Belle Vue can't get a number one, well this highlights the problem with this rider sharing scheme; when all the other clubs have taken their chosen 8.01 riders, this leaves a very limited choice to those left. Supposing HA was the only rider over 8.00 left and Belle Vue were the only team left without an 8.00+ rider, it then becomes something of an arranged marriage whereby Hans is told he has to ride for Belle Vue or miss out completely, and Belle Vue are told you must have Hans in your team or be understrength. What if Hans can get a better deal somewhere else and can't afford the terms Belle Vue are offering? What if Belle Vue don't want Hans?

you may.

Nobody knows yet do they? But it appears not.

No problem. I expect it to be changed shortly to sectioned jack.

You really are crazy aren't you.

I'm not Authorised to comment, but i have often read Authorised's posts and thought he speaks the most sense on here in most cases, so i take that as a compliment!
