What does this have to do with anyone on here? Your local pork butcher, sunday school teacher or charity shop manager might have done the same thing...Would that be of any interest if they had?

You have to have a way of making them slow down going into corners, Tyres, Engines and frame geometry along with track preparation, have contributed to the current situation.

Women are allowed to ride anyway, there have been two or three in the amateur meetings at Scunthorpe in recent years, there have been quite a few over the years but never enough to fill an event.

Imagine having paid to go into Rye House this afternoon, it's bound to put people off. For those who say "we've had slumps before" yes we did, but we never had crowds this low.

But not in your lap!

They aren't excluded if they pledge their future to Britain.

They can always join the PL.

Apart from those you can count on one hand, how many British riders get the chance to learn abroad or even make a living abroad? It's pretty much a one way street. As far as I'm concerned, international or foreign riders should be in the top division or nothing, we now have a situation where some PL clubs have five or six overseas riders, while some Brits struggle to find a place or move up from the NL......no wonder the public have lost interest.

They don't move up without guest spots and doubling up, so nothing is sudden.

http://sportklub.pl/ I'm not sure if it's in English, you can sometimes find pirate versions but they can be unreliable.

Don't we have enough overseas riders here already? Personally, I would only allow them in the Elite league.

That's true, But promoters will try anything to get punters in, it's always been more show than "sport" since John S Hoskins saw a golden opportunity to make money out of it. My pet hate is guests, they make a mockery of the whole thing. How come teams don't seem to have a contracted number eight any more? I think PL teams should have a number of regular NL riders as part of their squad and EL the same with a number of PL riders (at least it would be your team, rather than a select).

Another idea was tried at the recent indoor short-track meeting, the four riders started as normal and the tac sub came in as an extra rider and started behind the others.

Ditto!!

Truly the greatest. At his peak when he was about to visit your track, you expected him to get a maximum or break the track record.....He frequently did both!

There was some talk that leathers might become compulsory instead of kevlar or nylon, but I don't know if it has actually happened.

Me too, It's a bargain.

Yes it's true! http://speedwaygp.com/

This looks to be very good news to me, those who don't/can't subscribe to pay TV systems, can get this at a very affordable price, it's certainly tempting to me, are there any snags?

Because I can! And because it was actually a response to other posts.I do have as much idea what it is, as anyone else here, so I'm no more "ill-informed" than any other commenter. If anyone else wishes to buy it or play it, fair enough, that's their thing.....It just isn't mine.

All of it, but then I don't play games......And it is just my opinion. If others like it, fair enough. I didn't "assume" any such thing.

Yes it has, I can't understand how so many people can be bothered about a rather pathetic (just my opinion) card game.

You obviously don't remember Mike Parker.

I think they should have speedway monopoly "you hit a slick patch, go back three squares" or "Darcy ward passes you, you are out of the game" :-)
