Teriffic article in the Swindon section by Terry Russell in this week's Speedway Star, bemoaning the fact that Speedway's 'second division' are allowed to call the shots over the top league. He cites the case of 3 of his riders for whom Swindon pay all the costs also being used by Lakeside who pay nothing other than points money yet get priority of those riders when there is a (potential) fixture clash. I couldn't agree more.

No point in scoring big points if you're not getting paid is it?!

Is that the same Chris Harris that wasn't allowed to sign for the Somerset Rebels? As they say: it's not what you know - but who you know! ..or just a case of being able to do simple arithmetic!!

The rules clearly state August 12th cut-off, with any changes effective on 15th August. (Incidentally thats more or less exactly 28 days for MF to consider bringing Sundstrom - or any other rider that fits - back for Worrall if scores don't improve.)

Its quite simple as to why Somerset couldn't sign Harris to replace Vissing, because it would have put them over the 42.50 points limit (just!). Didn't need a BSPA guru to step in - just someone who could do simple arithmetic!!

Hans said in the interview that 'he took one for the team' when agreeing to take gate 4!

Sweden works??!! Despite not having 5 weeks of invoices being paid!! " Monday night is speedway night. Everyone knows its on a Monday night." Well it might be in Wolverhampton and very occasionally at Poole but hardly anywhere else.

Who says he's walking away?

I'm sure there are contractual obligations to show every PL track at least once!!

So with Wolves Peter Adams suggesting the BSPA are considering adjusting not only the Rye House rider averages (despite Summers already moving to Somerset on his July average), but also looking at adjusting all teams averages according to their scores v Rye. Good luck with that - if it happens??!

I think Leicester should be charged with theft, nicking Poole's blue groove like they have and then allowing it to spawn a second one!!

Thats presumably why 6 of the 7 teams are in action on Monday 16th?!

He's carried on in his last 2 CL meetings - paid 27 points as a heat leader!!

I don't believe its the whole carpark thats been included in any potential housebuilding plans - just the 'lorry' park and the part closest to the Wimborne Road buildings that will be demolished.

Klindt was on fire for Worky last night. 12 point max - his best score of the season......so far!!

Name someone then? Who would/could take it on and why would they?

Depends on the question??

Did you mean Mervyn Stewkesbury?!

I'm fairly sure Scott and Bomber have contacted all teams!!

Is there anybody with a reasonable knowledge of speedway and who is truly 'independent'? I have a post-it sized postage stamp to write down the list!!

IMO (and based on what I heard from the office on Wednesday) there is no way Nicholls will end up at Poole. Harris on 6.86 could replace any of the top five and Poole would still stay under the 42.50 team limit. Given the choice would Bomber want to displace his Glasgow team mate giving Poole the added risk of losing another track man!!??

If Bomber was being considered as a replacement for Vissing then his average is a tad too high and would take the Rebels over the team points limit. The alternative would be to replace Lawson with Harris OR make more than one change and redeclare under 42.50

August 12th, effective from August 15th. (Unless the rules are changed mid-season?!)

The age of the 5-man teams is coming!!!

Lemmo is clearly a member of the Diego Maradona 'Columbia Support' group!!!
