If only all within and every aspect of speedway was presented and run in a similar manner If the sport has any hopes of a return to a higher standing in the eye of the public and media then this approach (IMO) is the minimum starting point I am fully expecting the 'but it doesnt earn you any extra points' mantra and that perhaps is true - although maybe it is that pride effort and ethos that has enabled a team labelled as also rans to be fightlng for top spot Whilst that mantra continues the sport will be plagued by short term self interest and be held back

Good because that is obviously the real reason. Im all for a bit of transparency

Then its down to how good your trackman is..... Certainly there is no exact science and even the very best cant get it right every time. If however you deliberately dont even try then thats when you guarantee it to be rubbish

Love the spin that it is all to help NBJ in recovering from his illness

Agree - efrectively like preparing 2 tracks in 1 with a slicker inside and a proper outside dirt line Gives both the white line shorter distance kerb crawler and the balls out fence scraping thrill merchant a chance

He still has/had a Premiership average for 2019 which continues to apply for any new team he may join and any team he chooses to guest for. No question of legality for either scenario

Seems the likely conclusion

Lots of things that happen in speedway shouldnt be allowed - this situation however lays some way down the list in terms of any injustice.... It is a Team GB travel plan and within the regs as they stand

Designed by a sadist!!

Confectionery geek alert

Check out the latest Witches Twitter which states Nicholls does indeed guest in place of Harris Also has a ticking clock followed by a statement that the full match preview is ready to go and hopefully can be made available in the morning......

Our website is very slick and efficient so that wouldnt normally be an issue - Henry who deals with the social media side of things is right on the ball

Ipswich would normally have had a match preview for Thursday up by the Tuesday and this one isnt It may be 2+2=5 but perhaps its on hold out of courtesy until Poole can be bothered to announce a team change...

I thought you had enough hot air already Baldy

Swings and roundabouts - could say the same the other way with Danny.......

So long as the season doesnt just end and the final meeting get cancelled like last year and we actually manage to give it to someone this year.... The Mrs wont be happy if it sits on our mantlepiece for another 12 months

He could be like Samson though - cut it and he loses all his strength (or in his case speed)

I was confident Dickie would have a good one tonight after a poor one against Poole in the same way he responded to a poor one at Kings Lynn just from the way he was after the meeting on Thursday Like you he has impressed me greatly overall this year

Great comback to grab a draw. Im not a fan of the TS being allowed in 14 for the exact reason of the way we benefitted tonight but as it is what it is with the rules as they stand Im happy to take it this time The result shows the superb character of the team shining through yet again. It will be Dannys turn soon enough to be the hero - chin up fella

Just collar the mascot......

And well worth it too More of the same but in reverse would be perfect in this one!!

Because otherwise we would be under strength and this may force Poole to consider cancelling the meeting (in the interests of British Speedway of course) I suppose the other reason is that the regs allow it.......

The new one is you can cheat again and lay down and stay down to get a re run like the old days

That rule has gone this year

I feel that they have managed to surpass themselves this year in the level of stupidity
