Only you could bring up us having a mediocre season after one KO Cup meeting, lol!

Think all the staff went home in complete shock to be honest. But like you say, let's hope it's better news in the coming days.

Think it was more to protect Mitch and to protect the public from what was an awful sight. It was very serious at that stage.

I've taken many friends and acquaintances over the years, 30+ I'd say. Less than on one hand can I say those who went more than twice a season after that. It's gone beyond tell your friends and family.

Absolutely dreadful, watching young riders and grown men cry. His poor mom looked in complete shock.

Probably not, but hopefully will show to give some respect. I make no apologies to what I had to witness tonight so it's a bit raw still.

His mom was there.

It took him a long while to regain consciousness and I'd assume he has more injuries than first suspected.

I have to say it was shocking for all the staff to have to shield Davey from the public. Not a part of the job that I can say I found very easy either.

Described by the doctor on scene as a 'massive head injury'. Riders crying and the management in complete shock. Let's hope it isn't as bad as feared for Davey. Thoughts are with Mitch and his family tho. It's not a night I can say I feel happy about being part of and one of the dreadful things staff have to witness up close.

2 dreadful crashes marred what was looking like a good meeting. The heat 5 crash was one of the worst I've seen in a long while. Well wishes to Jordan Jenkins (heat 12), Sam Bebee and of course Mitchell Davey. Paramedics, riders and staff showed major concern for Mitch who was described as having a 'massive head trauma' by the doctor on scene. Fingers crossed all riders recover well.

Thankfully league tables don't lie, an expected clueless retort. Ha ha!

The team that's pretty strong at home and took an away point 2 weeks ago with the number one top scoring you mean? It's most certainly not mediocre so far. As for the KO Cup, mickey mouse competition.

Alarm bells aren't ringing at all. We have only had 2 away meetings, one which we took an away point and Jacob top scored with double figures. Alarmist post with no valid back up. Just to add no surprise at the loss at the NSS, we are pants there. The margin was very poor tho.

If it's seen in the best interest of British speedway then the rules apply as described. He usually does, but not tonight. Still, he had him in his own back pocket last night. Likewise Morris was better than Brady at Wimborne Road, no one can argue with that.

Shanes is quoted by some as saying back in a few weeks. The rules are relevant to that.

The question to me is what are the rules after initial declaration? It suggests anything goes if you read it that way and hence why rules get changed ad hoc to suit as the season goes which is where all the problems are. A clear rulebook with transparency would cut that out but as we know the BSPA don't want anything clear as it gives them the option to makes rules up as they go along during the season. Which makes the points of view that the 1 over 8 rule was done purely to cut costs which is madness if you can sign as many over 8's as you can (or expensive under 8's in some cases) in the season. Utter madness.

Exactly my point.

DANISH born yes.

That's Danish born Nielsen.

Which makes Phils comment irrelevant too then. However if we are going by usual season appearances it's actually the reverse as the Aces are usually better value at the Green than we are at the NSS. The Aces are injury hit this season so far so it's certainly not usual as you were.

Whilst some rules are clear many are not. If they added it ONLY applies to initial team declaration then it would be crystal clear.

Not usually allowed under the rules, however these can of course be bended if you want to try gain an advantage. 16.3.5 The BSPA MC monitors all proposed moves and has the sole responsibility to approve all (re-)Declared Team Line-Ups having been satisfied they are in the best interests of the sport. And 16.5.2.2 No facility is permitted to replace a rider, who although included in a Re-declaration has not made an appearance for that Team since being re-declared.

That's clarity that we'll all knew. Bringing in riders over 8 during the season? ??

It's hardly going to be for Wolves is it? Nonsense . Both A and B fixtures you beat us over 2 legs in 2017
