What's been done at the AGM, is creation of a two-league/two-division setup that could be rolled into one single league/division relatively easily if teams drop out or don't actually get to the tapes. He's not going to be short of offers in that case

There are two teams named in division 1 as confirmed participants, but in neither case is there a definite promoter/s (albeit one seems to have an interim one, and the other has the BSPA as promoter). What if those two don't actually end up taking part? The two leagues would have to be combined, and as there's now only a fag paper between the leagues,it would be a relatively simple matter. Maybe that's the real reason for this new league structure??

What is the current distribution of shareholdings? I think you said recently that DH had increased his shareholding (having resigned as a director, leaving Y.Hemsley as sole director) and it sounds like he now has majority? Has this move on his part effectively restricted the other shareholders from having any scope? Sounds like, if possible, you need to get support from other shareholders in pursuing your enquiries with the director.

Is it more difficult for riders to get the right bike set-up on our peculiar, variable little British tracks, than it is in Poland? Less pay and harder work??

Roll up and watch the tumbleweed and cobwebs being blown across the stadium by the freezing north winds. That's if you can get in.

What would Nige and Kel do on Monday nights?

It wouldnt mean fewer meetings. A top tier club would have its 10 or 12 top league fixtures, plus the fixtures from its participation in one of the regional leagues. The regional league clubs (not including those also in the top tier) would be able to run cup competitions.

I think there needs to be a top league of 6 or 7 teams with a reduced fixture list, and a north and south regionalised larger second tier where the top league teams are also included (albeit with reduced strength teams). It may need certain current NL teams to step up into that league. As for actual teams I can't see Leicester continuing in the top league next season.

May as well settle it at the ELRC - have 1 heat of Iversen/Lambert v Hougaard/Starke after the ELRC (coin toss if its a 3-3)

The reason he was leading the standings, is that he was prepared to place himself at great risk, and had the nerves of steel to do it on a repeated basis, more often than the others. Hopefully he will be able to continue in that way next season and not experience such cruel luck. It's a real shame for him that GP winners don't get rewarded with more points than the basic race win, otherwise he could have been out of Hancocks reach by now.

A large bonfire is more likely

Merge the Swedish and British leagues.

Is this down to Andersen's on-track performances, or his personality - or both? It's hard to imagine that any lack of regard for Doyle by Leicester could be down to his on-track performances, so it it a personal thing? Jealousy, maybe?

You'd think that after 2 years as the No.1 there, he would be still held in high esteem.

No mentions on here of Jason Doyle's charge towards the world championship. Not a whisper on the Leicester website, either. Is nobody bothered about it? Very strange. Anyone would think he isn't liked any more.

Cheers SS think I will leave it, hopefully it's easy for anyone interested/bothered to spot!

Oops my lack of keyboard skills....I've plonked my reply within your text, sorry and don't know how to extract it!

Unless they have become officially insolvent and an administrator has been appointed, in which case you would become a creditor (with little hope of getting anything back).But as Vulcan says the best chance you probably have is they get some money coming in on Monday, then it's a case of what position do you have in the queue to be paid out? I hope the KL fans who are rightly disillusioned about this and are vowing to never set foot in Beaumont Park stadium again, might re-consider that if and when new management are running the club. And by new, it would have to be completely Hemsley-free I would think.

Scotsmen prefer dank, gloomy and drizzle. Sun shining all day for us that's poor weather. It's all a cultural thing.

New and little known BSPA rule brought in this season. The guest system now applies to fans. If you can't find somebody suitable with a lower average than you KL will have to use F/R and share the ticket among other KL fans.

Absolutely, it's surely a case of what is considered to be a reasonable time for a refund to be processed. If you were alone in that situation, they could perhaps justify the delay on the grounds of an admin oversight, but if there's 10+ of you...... Have you tried contacting the BSPA?

Possible scenario is that if they've become financially insolvent, they're no longer allowed to write cheques

What is the average length of time riders have to await payment from their club?I heard that one of the reasons (maybe the main reason) Jason Doyle was happy at Leicester for almost two seasons,was that he got paid on time. So what's happened to turn a club which was paying riders "on time" into this situation? Or was it only Doyle who was being paid on time? Maybe that's the reason Leicester in the EL have had so many riders who leave after a short time?

Calm down, dears. 1. He hasn't scored a point yet 2. The last time he rode for Wolves, he was crap a lot of the time 3. There already is a squad system - it's called the asset system (no prizes for guessing where the biggest squad is) 4. Who is Kylmakorpi an asset/squad member of? It it's not Wolves, he's already a squad member somewhere 5. Riders are just basically cattle 6. If other teams are cacking themselves about this, they'll just have to raise their performance levels Simple

Why not save time and have the victory parade before the match starts, or during the interval?
