Blackadder

Weather yesterday and today is cloudy with rain or drizzle. Same for tomorrow. Sheffield unchanged from last week. No team news yet for Peterborough.

SHEFFIELD: Kyle Howarth, Lasse Bjerre, Charles Wright, Todd Kurtz, James Shanes, Jack Smith, Josh Bates R/R.NEWCASTLE: Ludvig Lindgren, Stuart Robson, Lewis Rose, Matthew Wethers, Tero Aarnio, Carl Wilkinson, Ashley Morris. Web site is not clear on the riding order.

Especially as he would do the right thing and act as guarantor for any losses incurred in the event that his forecast was wrong.

Jacob Thorsell has also withdrawn, as he is now required to be in Poland.

I don't think that Eastbourne are allowing anyone who rides for them to double-up this year.

A post on the Glasgow 2018 thread:- Just seen on Twitter that JPB is taking time out for personal reasons. Not long to find a 2 pointer!

Kim has said that some details were written on Meeting Certificates. When the SCB receive their copies, steps should be taken to progress the rider's comments. The rider should then be kept informed, not left in the dark.

From Josh Bates on Twitter:- Just to let you all know I’ve started my rehab. I’m aiming to get back in the gym as soon as possible and popped in to see Ryan Rhodes earlier. Thanks again for all your messages of support.

A part of the Speedway Meeting Certificate states:- We being the TEAM CAPTAINS certify that all monies due to each member of the Team have been paid as per the Riders Agreement except as listed below.

I don't recall anything to the contrary, so I assume the regulation is still in place. The season starts soon, and the 2018 rule book is still unavailable.

According to the SS, the starting gate gantry is being moved to Leicester due to logistical problems.

R.I.P. Ron. I can still picture you storming into the 3rd bend at Owlerton, with your scarf flying behind you.

Looking at the aerial view of the proposed site in last week's SS, I am surprised that planners are still proposing an estate, be it business or residential, that only has 1 access road. H&S is supposed to be a top priority these days.

It's reasonable to apply for approval for a visa for Luke because of the circumstances, and it's reasonable for that request to be refused, but surely it's best to check with Stewart before implying that he is behind the refusal.

Excellent article. Very sad reading.

Many thanks OGT. I too was unaware of this channel. After cancelling Sky Movies, I tend not to look at the movie channels. Looks like there are some good films to watch.

There is speculation on the Leicester 2018 thread that Simon could be TM there.

In last week's SS, Dick Barrie said that only the top 3 in Australian State Titles will qualify for a UK visa, not the top 4 as before. I haven't seen this change announced in the UK yet. Are any other countries affected?

Rohan has said that he won't be riding in the CL this year.

Eric Boocock once told me a similar story, but was asking the referee if he had had a good holiday.

I haven't received mine for 4th January yet.

Could be an opening for some sponsorship there K........lindt......

Pleased for Comets and their fans. Looking like a decent team.

You can't beat Only Fools And Horses for a good laugh with UXDs.

Got mine on Thursday too.
