    It’s been done with supporters in mind who may want to keep the day free to travel. We were thinking of our fans, not ourselves and we have stated ‘should’ we progress.

    I did put should we reach the final , I personally think it could have been left a few days until Saturday was out of the way as not to tempt fate , I think we were all aware of when the final would probably take place , to me it just gives Leicester that bit more motivation

    Not aware of any rider getting off Scott free. Am aware of a rider submitting an appeal, its in the rules and the appeal panel deciding a fine was more appropriate. Talking of Scott free, do you know what Mr Nichols would have done if 2nd leg of the the semi had taken place on Saturday as per the rules that state championship matches take priority over national league fixtures. 

    I'm guessing your getting at the fact that Nichols would have done the speedway gp instead of riding for Leicester but wether the meeting should have had preference over the reserves is surely down to the scb and if the Bears management had asked for it to be held on that day ,

    Confirms why Mr Dickson has been happy to continue to book guests. The guests have clearly done ok and I would suggest better than Richie would have done. So borrow riders from other teams without any of the hassle or cost of providing a van, team kevlars and helping sort out personal problems, equipment issues, travel problems etc. If Leicester end up winning hope they get medals for all their guests and other riders that 'retired' for apparent financial reasons. 

    Just using the rules as they are , it's a bit like 3 riders getting bans for on track behaviour and 2 of them serving the ban and 1 of them getting off Scott free , people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones

    That's the problem with some of the older riders, particularly from the lower divisions.

    I'm sure you know Stavvy, and we talk about this on Facebook; nearly every photo he posts has Pete Reading in it somewhere! He really was a part of the furniture...

    Yes I remember stavvy although I doubt he would remember me , my uncle taffy knew him quite well , mention that name when you talk next week always used to stand on the opposite side to the tapes right near the pits , see your a Wimbledon fan I went there once when the individual riders championship was held there , I'm pretty sure it was the late 70s but could have been very early 80s
