I was still a twinkle in my dads eye then! I was lucky that my childhood was Louis Sanders Davey Jolly Lanham etc

Great signing for Kent and a good move for Drew He should clean up in the NL and take that confidence into the Championship and hopefully beyond

No chance

I dont think that will happen even if it means 6 plus r/r

So the Witches Christmas tree is 2 presents short and a trip to the January sales is needed

Id be happy with Nescafe and Tesco standard riders.... Everyone so far seems to be predicting we will get Camp and Happy Shopper

Agree with that - any mention for Ivan would not need to be just because of his link to speedway He shouldve been worthy of acknowledement purely on his achievement in an overall sporting sense

A league sponsor "is closer than in many a year" were the words of Chris Louis at a recent Witches fan night Lets hope that bears fruit and a new improved TV deal follows Lets hope clubs use it for a longer term approach rather than JUST throwing it ALL at riders if/when it arrives

Depends how you puncuate it Is it BBC - Sports Personality..... Or BBC Sports - Personality...... The BBC 'mission statement' is supposed to means its remains impartial so just because it doesnt show a sport shouldnt mean it is ignored That said apart from a brief second or so of Tai as World Champion in the round up list I dont see (unfortunately) that speedway can expect any recognition

Lets see once we eventually name our full 7....

In the past riders on assessed averages have not been able to double up Must have an attained an average from the previous season in either league which is then converted

There is nothing wrong with the new conversion rate or its longer term intention which is to create a recognisable gap between the 2 league standards It will also make doubling down less attractive Where (as often) it falls down is that the inplementation creates as many questions as answers and therfore anomalies as per this situation At the moment the difference in standard does not warrant a rate of 1.5 Boro have worked out this team superbly to take advantage - its not their fault the figures are currently skewed! There are other issues too which havent been addressed such as riders having lower 2nd tier averages than top tier - this is far more of a challenge to the set up and longer term aim It would be relatively straight forward to combine results from both leagues for riders doubling up, use the agreed conversion to weight the relevant part, and provide a single average to be used in both leagues

I would imagine Dean that this could be one of the most difficult things to deal with Whilst all riders go into it with their eyes open about the risk of injury to themselves to know you are the cause of anothers misfortune (however accidental) must be very hard at times

Doesnt matter who owns it or what work has been done it wil be forever Compost Corner to some of us

Oi careful or I will kick off!

Did he still qualify for tea and cake Badge?

A few grand!!!? Busters paying - it'll be a few hundred

John Louis was 29 before he had a go at speedway

I think I heard that Jenkins is not planning 2nd tier in 2019 so that he can prioritise the completion of his studies

Give me half hour - I'll think about it

Im sure the past will be the past and we could all move on if needs be

Both - that would be an interesting pits!

Dont think its likely that Tungate will be back - as far as Im aware he is not popular with any section of the Witches set up (promoter, fans or sponsors) Scott Im hearing hasnt even had a call at all yet let alone an offer So we need to hope that Euro trip went well

Cat 1 and 2 is still min 4 though

Only in the Championship
