I can only say I'm sorry for using the S word you most certainly are not. I guess when two people are so passionate about a cause they can miss that they are on the same page. Believe me no team on this island respects its ex and fallen military like HMFC. I wear the McCrae's Battalion poppy everyday at work. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

uk_martin 1,606 Posted September 7, 2022 If Claus Vissing was given a 28 day ban on July 9th 2022 (http://www.birmingham-speedway.com/news.php?extend.3196) then how come the Brummies were still using a guest for him 32 days later on 10th August against Berwick? Surely the ban had ended, and the guest facility had ended with it on 6th August? Did the Brummies team manager put together an illegal team for that meeting? Just wondering.

Who was the 'ghost' guest? It can't have been Starke as his GSA is below Brennan's. As Douglas took an R/R ride it must have been some notional rider with an average over 6.88 (but below Douglas - otherwise he'd have been at no 1) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Speedway fan 206 Posted September 15, 2022 it was a challenge match to honour and remember Alan Grahame . Starke was a late withdrawal being unfit after his crash last week so R/R was on]y option and being a challenge no averages were used in what was a good entertaining meeting with a good crowd. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
