SPEEDY69

I agree but when you say people, there are many people who want it to survive but who aren't based near Peterborough but who might be going to the show - it's not that far away so was simply flagging, as there could have been/could still be some linkage to maximise impact for the benefit of Peterborough.

Maybe people could attend both, not that far apart.

Rally is the same day as the speedway show, wonder if that will have an impact?

Yes but if you felt back to normal the next day then you might just carry on. It seems feasible.

Good question, unless the evening was with Boxall

If his drink was spiked then would he have known he'd had cocaine?

I thought Mildenhall dogs closed several years ago, is it still running?

People are really quick to throw stones these days. Unless you were there then you don't know what mitigations were presented. I've had friends have their drinks spiked, it does happen. All we can do is respect the verdict and move on. I have never used any of these substances but do know that cocaine usage in the UK is increasing all the time as we cannot police our borders due to under resourcing. Cannabis use is rocketing and many of these people will drive whilst under the effects but if caught it's just a slapped wrist but they endanger many lives. I remember before the Latvian GP Darcy Ward was out of his face on booze the night before but turned up to ride, think he may have got a ban, as well as other reported misdemeanours but he's well liked these days. The Morans similar. Lessons to be learnt.

Did you not see Riss at all this season, awful!

I think he said that ages ago though didn't he, that he was committed to Sweden for another season and then he'd consider a UK team.

Will it have to be Sunday afternoon? I'd read on here that they'd bought the track lights from Peterborough - maybe they're planning stock cars or something then because you don't need lights in the afternoon.

Now that's a rumour!

My team from a 2007 submission to speedwayplus was: 1. Jeremy Doncaster 2. Per Jonsson 3. John Cook 4. Scott Nicholls 5. Preben Eriksen 6. Billy Sanders 7. Kenny Carter

I don't think Pedersen's reputation is totally justified, others have pulled many similar moves it's just he was so high profile and Nicki bashing 'caught on'. Hans A was very hard with riding others to the fence or dive bombing (one time at Reading I recall he did it about three times, causing another to fall or seriously get in trouble), as was Gollob - remember Boycie's golden moment? The fact we're still talking about them shows how they're missed in my view. Oh and yes, Nicki's a lovely fella to talk to.

Thanks, that's great. As an outsider it would be great to know things like what are the criteria for acceptance into the BSPL club as it seems to be something which can be granted or not dependent upon your face fitting, including the granting or cessation of licences.

No problem with that, so if Buster hadn't bought it we only have conjecture as to whether they would have continued.

So my predictions continue to be pony (20 point Poole win). I see glasgow were making the starts - was it the biggest choke since the 1970 seven-litre three speed Plymouth Cuda?

If that were the case, then why did the sale go ahead? Surely the owners could choose not to sell if they wanted?

I think it was Chapman who stepped in to save Peterborough a few years ago wasn't it? Can't see why he'd want to dig his heels in no matter what was offered to him, he was prepared to sell before but had no written offers - ' put your money where your mouth is' comes to mind. I agree though that this season it hasn't looked like he's been trying to extend or move elsewhere but I'm only on the very outskirts of this and have no knowledge of what's actually been going on. Offer a fair price and that should result in a sale (future value increase clause included or not).

No thanks, over the hill

I think if they include him next season they need their bumps felt. Woffinden will be somewhere as well, probably Sheffield.

Should be a comfy Poole win, 55-35

Can't access the article but the link title says the headline, good, hope they're soon out of money.

Think I'll watch on replay tomorrow, this is taking way too long

Really dull meeting so far though racing wise.
