    Nothing personal against Dan - But it looks like he will be riding in all 3 leagues! This gives G.B. speedway no credibility & shows what a bunch of incompetent "persons" we have running our sport. With many riders riding for 2 different teams that is so negative P.R. as it is - But 3 different leagues, totally bonkers.

    I disagree about the negative PR bit. Although Dan (and others) are named as #8 for PL sides, they are not guaranteed any outings!

    So Dan (and others) are predominately going to be CL & NDL riders with the occasional PL outing.

    Are you saying that Dan (and others) should miss out on potentially 10+ confidence boosting NDL meetings in favour of a few (if any) PL meetings?

    Does that not round up to 4.89 though? 7 Rounds the 4 to 5 and the 5 rounds up to 4.89. Just how I worked it out myself. Could be way off?

    The BSPA only go to 2dp. 3dp is only used if two riders in a team are equal at 2dp. At 3dp Danyon is still 4.88.

    Many thanks for the answers. 

    Do any of the reserves points place them in the overall championship standings? Or are they just for the single meeting?

    All points count in the Championship Standings, and all riders are listed according to their points score, with any ties being decided by their GP Ranking earned/allocate at the start of the season.

    The answer is probably nearly a hundred. I've probably even missed a few tracks from this list (permanent tracks only), but it gives an indication of how many venues have staged speedway in the British Isles (at least 111 by my count).

    Some were of course very short lived or only raced a handful of open meetings, whilst other tracks were effectively replaced by another track. However, there are still quite a few on the list that staged regular racing for many years that are no longer with us...

    I can't remember which club(s), but I know speedway bikes av been ridden around at half time at football before and had an advert in the football programme for discount into the speedway. 

    I'd like to think footballers or any highly paid person wud sponsor speedway but it's a fair bet they are bombarded all the time from all sorts of organisations for sponsorship etc.

    Still, if you don't ask you don't get :t:

    Coventry did, with John Jorgensen (for one) riding around the outside of the pitch.

    Not sure if that was at Highfield Road or the (then) Ricoh.
