    Why don't the developers find another site and build there houses on it and leave the stadium to speedway.On a site dead opposite the stadium there was a market garden bigger than the Brandon site developers have been trying for many year's to get planning for houses but it gets turned down every time .Brandon has not got the facilities doctors, schooling,and every thing else thats needed

      Anyone remember the 2022 British Final when it pi$$ed it down?  Chris Harris was on 3, 3, 2 and wasn't happy when the meeting was abandoned, Danny King was on 3, 3, 1 (before anyone says anything I know Bewley was on 8 as well).  Lets hope Chris can repeat that performance tonight if meeting goes ahead.  I'm staying optimistic as I hope all other Witches fans will be.

    Harris is  no where near Doyles class  if he scores 5 or 6 you will be very lucky

    It's an interesting one isn't it... a rider who has shown zero loyalty to any club he's ridden for over the last few years, has become a running joke in the sport, gets his knickers in a twist because all of a sudden a club decide to do exactly what he's done.

    His loyalty to British Speedway is not in doubt, be he has absolutely no problem in riding for which ever club calls him up on any given day even if the result of the match may effect the club he is contracted to and captain of

    Harris is not a top rider any more in the Premier league he is 5 to 6 pointer and going down hill 4 points for Peterborough Monday night from a number1

    It's up to the individual to decide if they think it's value or not.  My point was that if you don't have a license, then using a VPN makes you invisible and as such can't be detected. :t:

    I have a vpn checkedmost of the sports steaming sites but ould not find it

    People have to buy a TV licence and lots of stuff the BBC put out doesn't interest everyone at least paying to watch a live stream you can choose if you want.  I'll be watching on Saturday regardless of line up, one a race starts anything can happen at least you get a result unlike a football match where you watch for 90 minutes and it's still 0 - 0 when it finishes.

    I've been watching all the polish and Swedish speedway

    Not saying this is right or wrong, but if you use a VPN online then you will be undetectable no matter what you watch.

    I could not find it online.Also the product they put out has got to be worth paying for look at the so called Bfitish final very poor line up not worth paying to watch

    If the 14 day quarantine period for anyone flying into the UK is in place for several months it will put a massive spanner in the works for all british speedway teams and just cant see how there will be any speedway until 2021

    There will be no speedway this year no crowded stadiums until there is a vaccine

    So seeing as there are 7 teams. What team would you create if you could only use one rider from each team and have to use a rider from where he will be positioned in that team (Ive made some assumptions below)  i.e

    1 =  1st in averages 

    2 = 5th in teams averages 

    3 = 3rd in teams averages 

    4 = 4th in teams averages 

    5 = 5th in teams averages 

    6= 6th in teams averages

    7 = 7th in teams averages 

    Mine
    1. Doyle (Swindon)

    2. Andersen (Pboro)

    3. Riss (Kings Lynn) 

    4. Lawson (Sheffield) 

    5. Holder ( Ipswich :D) 

    6. Lidsey (Belle Vue)

    7. Nicol (Wolves)

    i realise not all teams are complete and im playing loose with Holder but im bored 

    Youv got 2 at 5th in team averages?.

    Of course as a Swindon fan who has gloated over Poole dropping to the Champ on many occasions during these cold/dark/Winter days, I assume you of course would not want any advantage for Poole be it legal or not.

    Fact is that all 3 riders you name rode multiple meetings for their sides from the UK season start 2019 before injury intervened. It could be argued (and I am not for one minute say its true or fact) that Grondal was NOT fit or recovered from his serious 2018 injury to start or be considered for a full UK  season starting in March but had recovered a little more to do a restricted season in DK starting in May.

    Depends on what you classify as injured. One of the reports of his crash at Peterborough stated he received a fractured pelvis - badly bruised ribs - Muscle damage and a blood clot. A further update from hospital stated he also had a punctured lung plus internal bleeding. 

    Perhaps enough there to have put any rider off going for a comprehensive speedway schedule in order to fully recover from such nasty injuries.  Don't forget he only did some meetings in DK NOT a full schedule. I assume he is in Aussie trying to recover some fitness again for a 2020 fuller schedule.

    I am sure Matt Ford is not trying to cheat the system - merely working to the rules IF Grondal is entitled to a reduction under the injured rider rule IF it applies for when the 2019 UK season started. In this case Grondal did not start the season or take part in any pert of it.

    No doubt we will only find out if Grondal is actually signed and then if we get a 4 pointer in the the reserve slot. Only then we will probably find out that he recvd the ok from the relevant authorities to sign him on a small reduction. If not then I assume a N/L rider will be filling that last slot.

    You are sure Matt Ford is not trying to cheat the system  you are having a laugh he is well known for it

    I’ve already explained my thought process.

    If we are using averages then rolling averages are probably  the fairest. 

    Grading would bring no different discrepancies when looking at if riders are graded fairest versus whether some riders have a fair average  for their ability (2019 averages/rolling/old average for riders coming back).

    Grading to me is the fairest way forward overall.

    Grading was used many years ago and it never worked if I remember correctly
