There is one further sad twist of the knife should this couple ultimately get their way. When they rebuild the house it will likely take at least 6 months of constant noise and nuisance. Lorries,mechanical mixers,sawing ,hammering etc etc Thats about 1000 hours at 8 hours a day 5 days a week of noise and nuisance to rebuild their house. Or in context about 20 SEASONS of speedway!!

Ipswich turned down the offer.

So Joe Jacobs has been sold to Coventry. Only time will tell if this is shorted sighted or a wise move. Good luck to Joe for 2014 and ahead.

Im with you on Hampel ER - although I said the same last year. !

Do they know the race format then?! lol

Would you really expect the Stocks would want to run twice a week? This is effectively what it would be (given the months run) if Speedway was pushed out. I cant see that myself. I also cant see that the Stocks would run midweek. Part of the reason Stocks get good crowds IMO is that its weekends and not every week. Id say the rent and refreshment takings from the Speedway is good business for them. Coventry Stadium sold today it seems and the greyhounds already moving out as no new lease expected. Unclear as to the impact on Speedway and Stocks (if any) at this time.

Good luck to Cam for his op today. We need him fit and firing if we are going to be challenging this season.

Surely this is little or nothing to do with the BSPA as the decision is in the hands of BSI as to how wildcards are decided. The BSPA could lobby for a certain set up but ultimately can insist on nothing .

Possibly - although I hope not. Id be more than happy to see Kozza and the others granted places.

The tier 5 criteria appear to rule out it being used for a PL rider as its wording includes (to paraphrase) 'being established at the highest level'

No apology needed.Quite a coincidence re the finding god connection between the two!!

Luckhurst a Brit as far as I know.The finding god story is a bit of an urban myth but was certainly the story at the time.

Perhaps this is the solution to the FIM/SEC problem. Nicki Pedersen can ride SEC and No5 in the SGP! Nicki not in both then!

That looks like Bod wearing a tutu and blowing a trumpet!

Given ch958's opinion of the literacy so far on this thread this one may be the best option for colin!!

So Bunyan could choose 1/2 with underneath (a lap behind) edit smiley of your choice to show no malice intended!

No - just the right 4!

So Poland says jump and we should say how high? Not in my book we shouldnt! Its billed as pre season due to the Pokish slant but its actually 2 weeks into the British season so always bound to be other meetings going on. These are planned in over the winter so the Poles cant expect to just snap their fingers and take their pick.

out of gate 1 in the raspberry beret.

A little worrying about Cam particularly as early signs were positive. Not a lot of time left before the season starts to allow a full recovery.

The Poles were planning to go to Peterborough so this has not been in the plan for over a year. Kings Lynn only became an option in the last few weeks long after all the other fixtures were planned. Do you think NKI and Bjerre would've agreed to ride in the Risager testimonial had they been aware of a fixture for Kings Lynn? However don't be too critical yet until all is confirmed. As has been pointed out there has been conflicting info re dates ie Saturday 19th which doesn't exist. You may yet get your chance to attend on Saturday 22nd.

A good positive piece. Very ambitious to set his sights to out perform Siggy and Cookie. If he can get half way to that Ill be happy to be there to see it. Cant wait for it all to get started now!

Nice new avatar Blu Everyone entitled to an opinion whether it be after 41 years or 41 days. In fact sometimes the view of someone with a fresh eye can be much more incisive than the 'experienced observer' But if you have an open mind and a positive attitude you will learn much more than being negative and blinkered don't you think?
