Rob B 1,263 Posted April 10, 2023 If there is valid reason why wasn’t it announced, it was kept secret and not announced till parade at 7.55 so obviously controversial 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The CEO will no doubt be brushing up on those six most important words for the sport in this country... "In the interest of British Speedway"... Presume with it being a cup tie that Bomber is now cup tied and cannot ride for Leicester in it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am sure the Aces will need Bomber at some stage of the season so probably best to just let things lie... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iainb 5,058 Posted April 10, 2023 Belle Vue are making hard work of this... couldn't they have got Scott Nicholls as a guest for Jake Mulford? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For example Nicholls finished on an 8.45 ave for Oxford, but started on an 8.28 ave this year! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isn't the qualification 'ELIGIBLE to ride in NDL' which he would have been in 1994. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marksman 540 Posted April 10, 2023 Probably stating the obvious here but almost every time I watch the Premiership I can’t help think that the make up of most of the tracks make it awful to watch. We can get all the top riders we want over here, but on these tracks it will still be boring to watch. Was the same last week at Sheffield, far too narrow, and the leader just clears off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
