Neither is an asset of any club as you cannot be an asset until you are 16.

Correct it does, to develop young British talent like Max Perry this year and Max James next year (or even later this season).

Correct.

All of whom would need work permits. So they would have to be proven International Standard riders to get such a thing now we are no longer part of the EU.

It was quite bad in the pits but it was worse on the third bend at Berwick last week.

Curfew is 22:30, and it's a hard curfew. So that's bikes off the track & PA turned off. In reality it means riders will not be sent out for a heat after 22:27.

I'm afraid not.

Just out of interest had Newcastle dropped down a league who do you think you would have in the 1-7 as I think you would still find rider shortage a problem.

Agreed, one of Leicester's start marshals has had a couple of guest bookings at Birmingham recently. LR acted quickly when he had a problem including last weeks meeting against Leicester.

Why? It makes business sense to have a Number One on a guaranteed fee as it makes budgeting easier. I think the issue is if you have riders on unrealistic guaranteed fees which is a different problem.

Which he has also missed meetings for with illness recently (along with Ipswich).

Tyre warming has been in tbe regs for a number of years now

Should be some cracking racing this weekend as I understand that a motorway blade has been on the track all day today to smooth out the track in readiness for the visit of the Cheetahs on Saturday.

Its been around for a long time. Its a case of needing an eagle eyeed ref to spot it. And Saturday night's was one of the best.

He spun his back wheel before the tapes went up so was not stationary. Both wheel and bike need to be stationary.

He could move as well

You could always move....

So am I

Also I should add for a transponder to work their needs to be a loop beneath the finish line to act as a timing point. If you look the SGP promoters have had to dig up the track for this weekend SPG to drop in the loop.

What you are talking about is the accelerometer on the bike, which is different to a transponder.

2019 when the powers that be thought it was a good idea to use social media to engage with a younger audience.

Yes there is medical cover.

Ambulance, driver and paramedic, not the rest of the medical team.

I think you are well out with the cost of an Ambluance based on my experience. £800 is the going rate to attend a speedway meeting. £250-£400 would get you one at the village fete.

You only need one ambluance if you also have an onsite medical room. Cost of an Ambluance & paramedic is about £800 ish per meeting depending on provider. A number of private providers are not keen to cover speedway because in comparison so a village fate the chance of an injury is high, which is reflected in the cost.
