  1. Glad I didn't spend £20 now. Haven't read any rave reviews about the King's Lynn meeting. Your right, our track is dog turd compared to as little as 5 years ago. I honestly can't put a finger what's gone so badly wrong apart from our previous track man Huggy was sacked because of an H&S issue.
  2. Looks an excellent race track. Super fast Poles & Danes will murder us round there in the SWC
  3. Don't think we'll see Harris back in the GP series ever again after this year.
  4. No he can't be in 2 places at once, but he'd of been a D/U and Belle Vue may have ran with a partner with him. Someone like Simon Stead who isn't interested in full time Elite. Similar to Lakeside with Kennett / Lawson
  5. 1 meeting I did want to see but can't get there. Feel this will be 1 of the best meetings in years at the Arena
  6. That MC member who had the "chat as a friend" was also the one that sent out total bull rubbish statement. That MC member clearly has an agenda to make sure Cook couldn't sign for Peterborough. To which, the signing itself isn't against any BSPA regulations. One thing Ged Rathbone certainly knows for sure now is that Rob Godfrey is no friends at all, just a back stabber
  7. They run alternative weeks though as the same track but if there is this "same race night" rule (which there isn't) then yes he shouldn't of been allowed
  8. And, if he'd of remained in the PL rather than try and break Poland there's no doubt Cook would have lined up for Edinburgh and Belle Vue
  9. Friday is the Colts race night. They're scheduled 7 currently with 3 more to reschedule
  10. Good luck, hopefully the correct decision will be made and Cook & Stokes are in
  11. There is no rule though. It's just a directive in the rule book that say the MC can decide what ever they wish to suit their need at the time regardless of regulations. There is no rule about D/U on the same race night.
  12. Just to pick up on a bit of Rob Godfrey's statement: "You simply cannot sign a rider when he already rides for a club on your racenight. King's Lynn switched from a Wednesday to a Thursday and as a consequence they had to lose Lewis Kerr from their team as he was already signed to a Thursday night track." This decision was made by the club and the rider jointly. This had absolutely nothing to do with BSPA directive that you can't have a home track on the same night. This came about because Lewis would have to priorities King's Lynn over Ipswich and would damage his earning potential. So Rob, don't add things to statements that you have factually wrong just to back your argument. As already stated, Dan Bewley rides for Belle Vue Colts & Edinburgh Monarchs. He missed the Scottish derby tonight to ride at the National Stadium. Double standards

  14. I do think Arson's comment was more tongue in cheek if anything. Chill peeps
  15. You're right, but that's in that clubs interest to do that. The issue here is that the BSPA have decided that interest, that is 100% wrong when Cooks move to the PL is legitimate
  16. You clearly have no interest in British rider's. Cook can't get a ride abroad and not for the want of trying. Him and his team have worked extremely hard to make that happen. You're asking Cook to run a Speedway career on 28 EL league fixtures. Think man ffs
  17. Correct, Belle Vue hold his 2016 registration. If he was changing PL clubs then it would be through said PL club due to priorities. The priorities are with the EL club in this instance
  18. The BSPA want to be so transparent their Twitter account blocked me
  19. I don't like the Panthers but BSPA, YOU'RE A FOOKIN JOKE AND KILLING SPEEDWAY
  20. That's a coincidence Anyway, congrats in getting your job back Bart. Be nice seeing Knudsen's face around the place for the fans too. Probably has a better idea on how to work a team over Havelock too.
  21. Coventry are going to the wall, not the fault of the fans. They're being delivered a poor product and the best way to show unhappiness is to not pay for it. If you keep paying and make your feeling known to the promotion they won't care because you keep coming back. Everyone was warned when Horton took over and I believe it was part of the Sandhu's grand plan to drive the club to the wall. Easier for planning then, especially when he said Horton was the most fit for purpose to take over. Assume the other potential owners at the time were drug dealer's or something if that was the best option.
  22. It's all above board SF. Cook had an average from 2015 which allows him to ride PL. Rider's with PL averages can miss a complete season (2015 - 2017) and drop back down and it's only right that safety net is there. Especially for British rider's. Just can't make it pay with EL alone and with Poland refusing to give him any rides he's fallen back on the PL. Absolutely not problem with that at all.
