I think everyone on here should cast their minds back several years ago to a certain incident involving 3 young riders and what they allegedly did to a young lady. Who bailed them, who paid monies to certain parties to keep the alleged incident quiet and where are they now?

One of the main problems in speedway is that every supposed speedway star or former one thinks they know everything and everyone and covers each others backs to make a living. Sclime and worral are 2 of the biggest culprits, scankin the British Youth system and teaching kids how to blow up engines and ride crap. Ex riders who cannot make a living after speedway conning promoters into thinking they know better. Until Speedway wakes up and realises these people are holding the sport back and conning a living for jack

By law, employers can be held vicariously liable for certain acts of their employees. This means even where the employer has itself done no wrong, it can still be found responsible for employees actions and made to financially compensate the victim/victims of the wrong doing.

Plan B allows 4 riders in each race and the punishment is for the team as one of them, knowingly or unfortunately has caused the problem. If you do not punish the rider and the team then their is no accountability. I sincerely hope that all becomes clear and the laboratory tests clear the rider.

A superb answer to silly question, it just shows how divided and how silly some people are. Do not think anyone has answered a question on how to ensure 4 riders in each race after imposing a ban. Well the offending team should be punished due to one of their riders failing the drug test. They are employing each rider and are accountable for everyone of them and should randomly do drug testing of the team to ensure compliance. Rider contracts should include details of random drug testing and a caveat that if they are banned then all testing and appeals are at the riders expense. Plan B If any test from the randomly chosen riders is non negative then the offending team has to comply with the new regulations. 1. A heat leader can replace any drug test related banned rider once during the course of the meeting, going off 30 metre distance behind the tapes. 2. A second string rider can replace any drug test related banned rider once during the course of the meeting, going off 20 metre distance behind the tapes. 3. A reserve rider can replace any drug test related banned rider twice during the course of the meeting, going off 10 metre distance behind the tapes. Maybe this is not the best answer but at least a start.

So you are one of the Lemony snicket lickers and a to boost. If it is Amateur Level then we are being robbed, it should be free It does not matter where I sat, if you have a bad back a like you will not mind paying for 2 seats then. Wolverhampton has closed unfortunately Well if you understand half of the garbage that comes out of a horses mouth well good for you, 99.9% can not understand horse talk

It is far too easy for most posters to iron over the problems and make excuses instead of addressing them. Or even asking what a problem is when they already know the answer Surely after the down pour it would have been advisable to scrape the top off and tyre pack the track from the start. No messing around or problems and as long as the announcer tells everyone what is going on they can understand and appreciate the problem. It was a poor advert for speedway and anyone new visiting speedway for the first time would be put off. A dying sport and this is partially the reason why and with fans up their own backsides defending mediocrity how can it survive. I am done with Belle Vue Speedway after many years as a visiting fan, never again.

If you do not know what was the problem with the start marshals then maybe speedway is not for you. Speedway does have rules and if the fools officiating are not aware of them they should not be in the position to officiate. The start marshal shall raise a red flag when the red lights come on. Riders disqualified under the 2 minute rule are eligible to be re instated going off 15 metres, not from the tapes. Pity that the clerk of the course had to come out of the pits to instruct them what to do. Even last year 3 lap and 5 lap races. Criticism is constructive if it is listened to and observed. This was a perfect opportunity for riders to learn, but instead decided by most to be throttle jockeys with the consequences. Credit to the riders who actually tried in difficult circumstances, but others need to take a long hard look at themselves and ask themselves do I really want to do this!

It was a decent crowd, possibly into 300 until the tractor racing started and saw several families leave.

Had the most unfortunate experience of going to this meeting today and what a total waste of time. Firstly I would like to know if the start marshalls have any form of training or have to attend any form of seminar. Do they have to understand the rules? A pre start shower definitely affected the track and rider performances but how can you try to explain to a group of 7 newbies about tractor racing for 20 minutes. Total farce of a meeting and Belle Vue should be ashamed of how they dealt with such a farce. Credit to the riders who actually tried in difficult circumstances, but others need to take a long hard look at themselves and ask themselves do I really want to do this!

Birmingham lost due to poor team management. Zach Cook should have replaced Victor Lampart in heat 12 with nothing to lose after a smart move by Simon Stead. It could be costly long term by poor team management choices. Use the reserves for what the are intended to be used for.

Going back in time to surely promoters had more sense, than now. Why on earth are every team trying to start the season too early. Postponements rife already and who wants to watch sub standard racing in poor conditions. Not only do the paying public suffer, the riders costs are escalated with all the cleaning and maintenance of the bikes. By the way, when do all the other smart countries start their seasons.

So basically from all who have commented the show is puppet manipulation for TV audience that is viewed by millions! Run on similar lines to British Speedway and the ones behind it and viewed by hundreds!
