Rugby Union world cup in September and October puts paid to that. I'll have a guess at 27 June.

Wonder if the weather has improved since he's been able to post photos on a weather forecaster's forum?

Nicki Pedersen and the safety fence. No one has ever managed a successful pass between those two.

These type of "best of all time" questions are always pretty much impossible to answer. How do you compare one era with another? People will be swayed by those they saw the most, or those who rode for their local club. Nostalgia or fading memories make it hard to compare riders from decades apart... ...but in this case, it's easy. Best pairing ever? Without a doubt - Peter Collins and Chris Morton.

Can you imagine the outcry on this forum if someone bought a season ticket in the middle of the grandstand by the starting gate and turned up the next week to find the start line had been moved 40 yards back to near the 4th bend? Would you also have the referees box on some kind of pulley system to line it up with the ever moving start line?

So are they the same or different? What a daft thread!

With all due respect, the above proves you haven't a clue what you're talking about. Trelawny was a superb racing track with loads of racing lines. It was nothing like Plymouth which is a small, tight track and not one of my favourites at all. Buxton too small and narrow? It's one of the widest tracks there is. It's great for less experienced riders as fallers rarely hit the fence due to the track being so wide. Somerset is one of the best tracks in the country. As for Swedish and Polish tracks being far better, that's nonsense. Swedish tracks are quite similar to ours. Polish tracks on the whole tend to be bigger and faster, but not necessarily better.

They're having an astroturf centre green, so they couldn't copy Peterborough due to there being no grass to take a short cut over. I've spoken to Chris Morton a couple of times about their new stadium, and each time his main talking point has been ensuring the best possible track is the no.1 priority. And I think he knows a bit about the best racing tracks.

Which dwarf are you then? I could guess! Honest, the track is not 4 handlebar-widths wide. It was a Joke!!!!

You do realise that the guy who said the track would be the width of 4 handlebars (about 12 ft) and narrower on the bends, was having a joke?

Both. It will be a 6,000 capacity Elite League standard stadium for Elite League meetings, but capacity will be increased for World events. The track of course will meet FIM regulations. woooosh!

James Cockle?

That statement seems to pose more questions that it answers. Does "experiencing acute personal emotional problems" mean the same as that other well known euphemism "tired and emotional"? Certainly the medical team must have access to a mobile phone that can be used to summon help in an emergency, but surely it should be switched off until that emergency arises? It shouldn't be used for a paramedic to receive personal calls during a meeting. If Matej Kus's problem was a wisdom tooth as has been suggested, surely this wouldn't warrant the calling of an ambulance to treat him? At worst maybe it would necessitate his mechanic driving him to A&E? Was Matej Kus the reason for the ambulance being called, or was the ambulance called as an attempt to gain medical cover to replace the paramedic who suffered "emotional problems" at the time he was examining Kus? The only one emerging with any credit is Dr Fortune who dropped everything to take over and make sure the meeting reached some kind of conclusion.

It doesn't score in terms of height, but for sheer style and entertainment you can't beat the one at Scunny when Benji Compton's bike went chasing after a bite of Dave Dowling's burger. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Qtu8BiGIVA

BSPA website says:- PREMIER LEAGUE Edinburgh 57 - Steve Worrall 16+2 Rye House 38 - Edward Kennett 13+1 Premier League points: Edinburgh 3 Rye House 0 Scunthorpe 55 - Thomas Jorgensen 12 Ipswich 39 - Gino Manzares 12+1 Premier League points: Scunthorpe 2 Ipswich 1 Somerset 62 - Brady Kurtz 14+1 Glasgow 30 - Theo Pijper 8 Premier League points: Somerset 3 Glasgow 0 Seems Ok to me (not sure about the Scunny/Ipswich points though) Edit to say, Just checked the Press office email which they send out. That is spot on and says Scunthorpe 3 Ipswich 0

Seems a bit over the top, considering we're only talking about one dangerous rider. Certainly other riders have made dangerous moves in the past and others will do in the future, but they're usually isolated incidents. I can only think of the one rider who consistently makes dangerous moves. Asking for new rules and red cards just because of one miscreant seems a bit of an over-reaction

Not at all. You just don't seem to have the answer to the question of what happened to the missing 2 heats if the home side produced "12 out of the 13 heat winners" The best I could suggest was that if the author thought "Ovations were besides that all coming the way of the home riders" is a coherent English sentence then maybe he'd been in the bar

Well considering that gobbledegook sentence, and the fact that he missed 2 heats somewhere, we can only assume he was in the bar!

Did the reporter arrive late and miss the first 2 heats?

600 Euros to knock Pedersen out seems a bargain. Perhaps Tai should consider this as a bigger fundraiser for G.O.S.H.

That is the rule. The starting marshal should call then to the tapes from gate 1 to gate 4. Anyone disobeying the starting marshal should be excluded disqualified.

Bet365 offering 4/5 for Millik to outscore Harris in their rider match-ups? Surely that'll be easy money?
