That's mainly because some racecourses are left-handed and some are right-handed (with one figure of 8 track). You only go one way round a speedway track

2pts.

Robert was "Ruthless" before he ever joined Newcastle.

Any thoughts from Workington fans as Mason Campton is 14th with 7 points (only above Cooper Riordan and Jordan Stewart by one point) and Ty Proctor is 11th on 12 points after two rounds of the Aussie Championship?

It depends on what you call "good enough" though, doesn't it? New Aussie coming in on a 5, achieves a 4. Good enough? New Aussie comes in on a 5, been around for years, still hasn't achieved a 4 and is now classed as British. Good enough? New Aussie comes in on a 5, a few years later becomes World Champion. Good enough.

But it is quite important when you have to have at least 2 British riders in your team.

Something Newcastle have done in the past, I think (or at least something along those lines).

Quite a few of which will be riding on a Sunday

Sorry! Just for the record, Buxton would be nearest at approx 150 miles. Stoke is approx 180 miles. Give or take a few miles.

I'm sure TWK will answer this himself, but his nearest track would be Stoke or Buxton I would think (without checking),

So you would rather deny young riders the opportunity to ride and have them not run a team?

Which used to be the case, did it not?

Sheffield are the cheapest at £240 for all league/KOC/Play-off/Challenge matches at Owlerton in 2017. The cheapest of those offering all Champ Lge matches and 1 KOC match are Glasgow at £225. In alphabetical order (so there is no bias) as far as I can make out the full list is: Berwick £249 for all matches Edinburgh £258 for all League matches and 1 KOC match Glasgow £225 for all League matches and 1 KOC match Ipswich £255 for the same as Edin and Glas Newcastle £270 but it doesn't state what you get for that (but I believe it's all matches, but I could be wrong) Peterborough £300 for all matches + Parking + prog Redcar £230 All league matches and KOC matches inc any Play-off meetings, but doesn't inc Challenge matches, Individual meetings (Julie Lewis Memorial for example) or the Silver Helmet Scunthorpe £N/A don't offer season tickets (bizarrely!) Sheffield £240 All matches Workington £245 but, like Newcastle, it doesn't state which matches are included and which aren't.

That long? Totally agree with SCB. You just have to take a look at the Newcastle 2017 thread and see the threat of physical abuse against me to see some posters really don't have much to say, other than to threaten and personally abuse other posters, which is a great shame as the majority of posters on the BSF, discuss things in a right and proper manner.

Not according to the BSPA website. He's got a 2.63 "team building average," but he could get a reduction on that?

Every club is going to be different (stadium rentals) and points money paid. Also will the BSPA allow us to know how much a referee is paid? On the racecard being printed in the Speedway Star, I really don't get that one. Either you buy a prog (varying from free to £2.50ish), or print your own off the PC/Laptop (basic cost) or buy a Speedway Star (£2.90 currently). For those who don't buy a SS, it's not going to increase the sales of a SS as it's at minimum 40p more than buying a prog., so they aren't going to buy one just because there is a racecard in it, surely?

Hans Andersen wasn't getting paid and said he would not ride until such a time he had been. He was told that if he didn't ride he would be deemed as withholding his services and would be banned for 28 days.

At least Robbo has a team place in the SGB Premiership with Rye House, unlike Matej, who may be missing out altogether.

As does Rose (5.97) according to the Diamonds Website. Also, according to the Website, Lambert is 8.70 (pedantic I know )
