Usually needs trimming.

I think you should read your first line again, and wonder why no smilies.

So you think that If Rooney has a contract agreed with ManU and the agent, in the event of default, The Premier League is responsible and should make the shortfall. Funny folks in Speedway, and not always running clubs.

Your original quote implies the con was the BSPA and their rate of pay.

So how is that a con as you put it. If a normal work establishment, if that company goes bust, it often is almost Impossible to get anything owed out of the owners. If there are saleable items, or assets, it takes a long time to get it, and that could be after other institutions ahead of the employees were paid and you would only get something if there was anything left in the kitty after they have been paid. In the case of a Speedway club going bust. Any club has to pay in a bond an agreed amount depending on what league you are in because of different pay rates. This is lodged with BSPA and in the event of the club going bust, this bond, and the sale of rider assets, goes to pay the speedway costs such as riders and other clubs. In view of the normal employment situation, how is the procedure with the BSPA a con. At least it attempts to protect the interests of others in the sport, who would/could be severely be financially affected by such a loss.

Yea, shocking that someone like the BSPA should try and make a shared meeting profitable. BTW the shared meetings, or Super 7 events, are an attempt to make money to 'share' out to all teams at the end of the season at the AGM. Naughty BSPA eh.

But some twits on here with 'issues' would have you believe their visitors were rolling in the ailses with laughter when they told them walking through the gates.

Aint that the truth. Hansen was known to have said he wanted to join the Diamonds, and shortly after other teams including Worky were quoting similar associations. The old 'of cause I love you' play.

Sorry, but there will not be a training school at Brough this Sunday 31st July. There are new dog track sheets being trialled and they are being laid during Sunday afternoon.

Cracking result, even though we didn't need it for this aggregate competition. Pity we have already lost here in the PL, as I could fancy going back and stealing a win. Leave it for the playoffs eh.

The Friendly between Newcastle Gems and the Carmarthen Dragons, which was arranged for 14th August, has now been cancelled.

Sheffield by about 10 points.

I think 4 meetings.

We're still waiting for Robert72 to give me the names of the two juniors that I said I would investigate, to see if Robert's accusation was in fact true. Not holding my breath mind.

I'm just surprised the 'burger' hasn't made an entry into this matter.

Drew, I really don't care how he gets them, as long as he does get them.

As leander has already quoted above, many meetings on tonight so not many good riders to chose from. Got to think that if Robbo was guesting, and didn't perform, the cries would be why didn't we go with RR and use our great top 4. Hard choice, but I back George's judgement.

He has enough difficulty writing it.

Except of course that they are NOT hobbyists. They are British and foreign professional photographers who have to be vetted and issued with a pass to allow them to take photos for their chosen career. Just another rant from you.

Apparently concrete at KL doesn't qualify either.

Must admit his bike didn't sound great, from the pits gate, in his after meeting ride. Is that the Spillers ?

Of course it is. Cutting across the centre green does and can be dangerous under some circumstances, hence the reason for the rule. Normally with the new rule this year, I have noticed more start line staff are holding up the tapes with say a rake to allow the late rider to duck under them, spin around and make the 2 mins. It doesn't appear to have been done in this Kerr incident, so he did the common sense thing of creeping around the inner start pole. If any photographers or medical staff are that close, they are in breach of the 2 or 4 metre rule of personal from the inner kerb. Seems like some are moaning for the sake of it, again. Wonder what the reaction would have been if Kerr had been excluded, probably the same folks would complain about officialdom being nitpicking(and not using 'common sense').

Except of course that the texter on updates has said that 'Kerr drove around the course direct to the startline 'and only rode around the start post'. Hardly 'cutting across the grass track' which does put medical and red flag people in danger of being hit by the bike.

Yes, but it is also no sense or decency to just accept famous people swear to a public gathering to make themselves 'cool'.

Lindgren didn't ride on Friday at the Pairs. He was replaced be Lewis Rose.
