Still think Toby is the better bet long term.

Guested for us in that cup draw meeting at your place. Started well but faded, and knacked Steve's bike in the process. Hmmm, but he did get some decent scores during the year as that's why he was asked to guest for us.

More crap from the usual suspect. Why not try humour next time.

And rode through the whole of the meeting with his shoulder strapped/taped up as a precaution,

Some good racing tho.

Yes they would, but Swindon Speedway are not building the stadium are they. They are in the hands of stadium owners who control the situation. Hardly speedways fault.

He's definitely hanging around for some reason.

Just hope you didn't have a TR(double points) in the meeting

Not true. Difficulty is when to actually put them down and save the meeting. The main reason is not enough volunteers to drop everything and lay the sheets down. If the meeting is off, who is still there to take sheets off. Track workers are like gold.

Exactly.

We(Newcastle ) went to Arena in his first season there, and he was amazing. He was overtaking at all the usual wrong places and beating the top guys we had. Never saw anybody else use the riding lines he used, and constantly changing them during a race.

Good list of places, but you missed out the Roman Wall, and Alnwick Castle where external period shots are filmed for Harry Potter Films.

You know you have got to.

She was Steve. Husband and baby had to go back to the hotel, and then back to the stadium to pick her up.

Just think what it was for the Doctor for the meeting, my daughter !!! Didn't get to bed till 2.30am after the Jury meeting.

What a load of old bollox is posted on here. What you don't know you just make it up. Chapman jnr and Fred F. I always tell the truth on here and post what i know or think. Never been spoken to, or had discussions, about my comments by the BSPA or anybody else officially. Unlike BV spokesman FF. BCD. Well, I have no grudge with the head of the BSPA, or the head of the Chapman family, unlike some. I still work in many capacities to make speedway work, unlike some. Spot on ruffdiamond(insider knowledge eh). Left on March 4th and arrived back 26th March, but I don't post holidays for obvious reasons. Beyond the wit of some to think of that.

This has got to be a windup. Havvy and Straightaway Sam, you're having a laugh.

Total bollox. Try reading woz01 and then abbo post after yours. For further reading, try reading the article on the Coventry affair in this weeks Speedway Star. There's none so blind that.............

Way over the top reaction to blame everyone. Yes Coventry fans and Speedway has lost their track, and therefore no speedway, but the facts to judge who is/was to blame are there for all to see. Unless one doesn't want to know the facts.

Glasgow on the 3rd and the 4's on 6th Aug. You staying down in between ?

You need to read flagrag's post #67.

Where do you get 500 riders from. Usually progression from 125/150 and also through 250's. We are all part of a feeder system like any sport organisation should oversee. The MDL is part of that. Just because it doesn't suit you does not make it wrong. Very eloquently put BTW, not.

We got second in a format that was agreed by all in the qualifying rounds and the final. We were second. This year is this year.

Correct, as what happened to the Ice Hockey Elite League matches, that didn't even get broadcast at key viewing times that Speedway were given, despite being played at similar times.
