  1. The way I understand it Holder was reported to the SCB by a licensed official i.e the meeting referee. He was suspended in the interim by his promoter/BSPA (not sure which), At his SCB hearing various witness statements/evidence was given. Unless Cook is reported by a licensed official there will be no action and we are just left with conflicting views from fans.
  2. When is the annual conference? Thought last year it was earlier than November.
  3. I'm no longer a regular Stars supporter but admit to waking this morning with a feeling of satisfaction after reading the complimentary comments from Belle Vue fans after last night. Seems the pride is back in the Stars team.
  4. Every time riders complain about that tracks are dangerous we get the comments that modern machines are unpredictable and can buck an rear. Some of those comments come from well qualified people i.e. Kelvin Tatum amongst others. That being so why don't riders complain about the modern bikes? Surely if the bikes are unpredictable they are as dangerous as badly prepared tracks. It's not just UK tracks, the comments come during GPs as well. Or is it the "he's got a shiny new toy and I want one syndrome"? It's something that has puzzled me for some time. I'm all for rider safety and this seems to be an area that everyone ignores.
  5. Well I'm gobsmacked. Well done all the riders who got on with it tonight in rather wet conditions And bloody well done to the sub standard Lynn Stars who got a point.....wonder who put any money on that EDITED to add that the sub standard description is not mine but a label given to them by some others
  6. You forgot he's the overgrown schoolboy who gurns his way into camera shot at every opportunity. Otherwise you are spot on.
  7. Possibly but the Lynn team that everyone said was sub standard after the changes is doing a damn sight better away than Poole did at home last night. I'm satisfied with that
  8. Jorgensen broke the tapes. Auty is a reserve replacement
  9. Alternatively he knew he was guilty as charged and had no defence. BTW has anyone seen any sign of his promised statement.....or indeed any kind of apology to the fans that paid to see him ride?
  10. That tweet was from an account with the tic beside it, which I believe means it's a verified account i.e Darcy Ward himself. It's still on twitter admittedly as a screen shot. Moral of the story don't tweet unless you mean it cos sure as hell someone somewhere will screenshot it and it will resurface I've amazed myself by managing to copy it onto here
  11. I suppose that depends on where the meeting is, what time it starts and what time riders have to sign in. Anyone know the answers
  12. That's my guess too. The British season traditionally starts on March 15th, add 28 days and you get to April 13th which is when Holder is able to ride in Britain again.
  13. Bit gob smacked by all of this. Fully supported his original 28 day ban and his sacking but 9 months!!! I'm wondering if he has actually got another 28 day ban which starts from the beginning of next season and there's been some journalist licence taken. There again it doesn't change much as he couldn't ride in the UK this season anyway. Maybe it's karma for all the male cow dung he has been spouting on twitter, the comments to Graham Drury in particular were totally out of order, maybe that's what breaching rule 3.2.7 refers to. Forgive the ramblings
  14. I can only speak as I find but Racers and Royals is one of the most helpful members on this forum. Always posting links for streams etc. I've pm'd him on several occasions for information and have always received a polite, helpful and prompt response. PS put the cheque in the post R & R lol
  15. Agree that there are a few aspects where Sky coverage, especially pictures, were better but one thing BT have got right is cutting out the Sky Studio with Pearson & Tatum. It always looked forced and Tatum did wonderful impersonations of a nodding dog, probably had someone in his ear saying be more animated. The banter from them now they don't have to worry about how they look seems better to me. Much more natural and more akin to a couple of fans on the terraces.
  16. I didn't think it was that bad a meeting, there were some passes. I've seen far worse and I've seen better on TV. It did seem to me that the Lynn riders actually wanted to be there and had some pride in riding for the club.
  17. At least BT manage to find the youngsters in the crowd. All Sky ever showed was wrinklies old age pensioners and dogs Probably because he knows very little about speedway and thinks a female in charge is a novelty.
  18. Think I read he got double figures yesterday in Poland so why the difference?
  19. I can think of a few riders that should invest in one to fix their loose screws
  20. First time seeing him live yesterday. What impressed me was he was so still on the bike. Others were shifting their weight from side to side, bucking about etc, Bewley just sat serenely and it worked. Reminded me of Leigh Adams, if he emulates him there will be few complaints.
