But they haven't all said no, that’s how they have come up with this team. Poole only have so many dates for home matches available and so would be keen to get the fixture completed. You will have noticed Redcar couldn’t come with a guest for their fixture at Scunthorpe ? Because those that may have been available are already booked to guest elsewhere? but with the over complicated, but bendy, rulebook that exists it’s neigh on impossible to give this sport any credibility.

Wasn’t difficult, just looked on the appropriate site and ‘bingo’ , as it seems a lot of others did (see above ) but then that’s what a smart arse would do rather than put an appeal out on here for someone else to do the work for them.

Both teams have announced their lineups .

He was never asked to pay a ‘ VAT bill’ and he can’t sponsor a meeting at Newcastle because someone closed it down. As far holidays I have no doubt he had to pay for them too and I’ve no doubt the money will come out of his bank account which would have been a little healthier once he sold his part share of the Diamonds. But you obviously think differently ?

Did better than the last bloke

Some decisions were open to debate and certainly caused comment amongst the competitors in the bar.

As he has been for most of the season only this time he was co- sponsor of the meeting and there in official capacity as part of the SCB, and no, he had nothing to do with the deal.

Nothing odd about it at all Redcar have been expanding their asset base for the last few seasons and now have the likes of Edwards, Jenkins and now Freeman all on token sums, to join a couple of local youngsters previously signed but not yet good enough for the NDL. This probably won’t be the last youngster they sign. The club is well known for looking after the younger ones and runs two junior sides and weekly second halfs plus the amateur meetings and practice sessions. Something perhaps other clubs could/ should be doing ?. They won’t get a fee on loans to NDL clubs.

Now your sounding like you need to be chairman of the BSPL.

Sounds like your the answer to all Buxton’s problems.

Oh ! So lack of crowds and finance had nothing to do with it ? Thanks for clearing that up. sounds like Rob Grant was in charge.

So on that basis if Man City draw Accrington Stanley in the F.A. Cup the fixture should be cancelled ? have a word with yourself.

Yes, the good old days when a number of NL clubs paid certain riders Championship wages , yes, that’s the way forward , get rid of the likes of Buxton , the only club paying their riders the agreed rates but could not compete with the Birminghams, Eastbourne’s, Cradleys etc. There needs to be a balance. There wasn’t one then, there isn’t one now. It’s gone from one end of the spectrum to the other. Will it ever change?

In the early 70’s I was there before the turnstiles opened at 6:30. Once opened, bought my programme and ran off to the 1 st floor seating in the Resteraunt/bar area to get our seats opposite the starting gate. Read the programme and then off to the track shop to purchase the Speedway Star and the Mail, check out the away programmes and badges on offer and purchase a favourite riders photograph or even rosette hoping to get it autographed in the bar after the meeting. Now, get to the track earlyish so I can get a cuppa . Oh how times have changed.

Why don’t you try looking on the NJL section of this forum ? No secrets whatsoever!

Yeah, like their rules are clear and followed all the time !

For whatever reason the team concerned are unable to field a full legible side so can use an ineligible rider to complete the side but his/her points will not count in the overall result. So, if a ineligible rider finishes second in a race then the riders finishing behind him will be promoted into the appropriate scoring positions . On this occasion a rider who’s average is above 3 in the NDL prior to the start of the season was used therefore his points do not count. I assume he was used due to rider unavailability or injuries.

Public can’t, you need a password. He will have recorded what actually occurred and then worked it out later….it took me some doing when I checked it !

I’ve just checked the refs programme. The corrected result , without Gregor’s points is a win for Armadale 20-15.

Even MORE confused ! Berwick’s points add up to 13 as G.Millars points do not count, so how did they win ?

Something doesn’t add up ? 6 races = 36 points available but this is junior racing so I’m thinking either didn’t do all 6 races ? Or there was races when riders didn’t finish ? Stene got 9 so presumably the 125 races finished 3’s a piece in all three races as the Lothians points add up to 9 as well. Booth scored 4 so 9+4 = 13. Lewis Millar got 7 so he dropped 2 points to Booth ? If Gregor’s ( riding for Berwick as a ‘guest’? ) points don’t count at all then he just doesn’t score in the races and everybody who finished behind him gets the extra points? Confused am I ! can you help ?
