Ironically it looks like his NL team will be using RR at Eastbourne as he cant make this weeks meeting.....

Would be great if it could get towards that level of competition and not just from a position of individual benevolence but to have that as a sustainable business proposition Thats the dream anyway.....

I wonder though Phil if those that dont want a points limit now is because they are the ones that could dominate as it stands now Guy Nicholls has probably spent more on new plant for his Tru business this month that Matt Fords full asking price for Poole So far he hasnt been inclined to buy a club largely due to the restrictions in place If there were none he may do it and then Id guess perhaps some of those advocating a free reign would not be so keen

Most probably the best thing about speedway at this time A huge undertaking and an absolute god send to all fans across the country Many thanks to Sue and all the texters and updaters everywhere

Easy to say when you are one of the teams building with the higher budgets and finishing towards the top end I wonder how those at the top would feel though if the Facennas at Glasgow and Guy Nicholls via Tru7 at Ipswich came in all guns blazing and went onto another level (both probably could if they wished) Would those then playing catch up rather than being top dogs then change their tune?

I would be surprised if they were unless there were significant underlying changes I dont see there being a big shake up after all - one big league seems less likely now IMO

I agree - I started a thread a few weeks ago questioning the legality of it!

Have the Rye riders had any of the money owed yet?.....

Thats the standard BSPA agreed refund/discount policy - £1 per heat As a result would be called and no refund due after 10 heats any refund for a curtailed meeting is the £1 per missed heat but only upto that 10th heat

Only if the final hasnt taken place yet and due to be run after Nov 1st

Theory is one thing Reality and truth are another

Congratulations to the Comets - Im really chuffed for all you up there Looked like it was all going pear shaped towards the end but dug in to hold on Tigers fans must wonder who this Chris Harris is that can produce a super human pursuit of the world champion in the PL but trail round tamely behind CL reserves I labelled him Mr Play Off after that - seems that requires slight amendment to Mr PL Play Off....

Tough - suck it up sunshine

At this stage of the season every team should be expected to fulfil a fixture on any date offered

Ully the Scunny MoM

During the winter of 97 it was set that any team retaining their starting line up throughout the season would be allowed to keep it in place for the next season Witches 98 meant that didnt even last 1 year......

Not quite the same IMO as it is at the BSPA/SCB discretion to make the nominations There are no set criteria to uphold

But equally if those 'idiots' control access to another avenue for you can you really expect them to keep that open to you if you refuse the mainstream contract......

Will he be able to change it in time to get back for the cup final

Didnt think we were allowed to discuss the case.....

No chance of 'the Morris rule' then Neil

You can just see Starman in his John McEnroe stance shouting "chalk dust , you didnt see the chalk dust? You cannot be serious"

Perhaps if he doesnt then he wont/shouldnt be nominated for the GP qualifiers That could be a reason to stay.....

7.5 - which at the time was the entry average for new GP standard riders
