I'd say Chris Harris is in the toughest draw.

I'm not too sure about Barry Hearn but British speedway sure needs a visionary.

Sky show regular elite league meetings live. Eurosport show GP;s, SWC and SEC live. Most of the major meetings get uploaded on to youtube. Hope this reply from an old Hammers fan helps.

Thank you for that WK.

Aah!...all becomes clear Oh Wise One. I do remember seeing him ride but, shame on me, I can't remember anything about him. You would think I'd remember the leathers though

And they had their share of those eh Norbold. Not wishing to come across as sycophantic, but I would guess you know as much about Cyril's career as anyone still living. As you say...a New Cross Great.

Interesting choice WK.

Sad but true.

Hmmm!.

I would expect Zmarzlik to win this round. The others are harder to call though.

Now then, now then iris. do not besmirch the good name of west Ham. It can't be true, can it?. My ******* keyboard only picks up 1 capital letter in 2, so I miss some.

He doesn't want to ride?...seems unlikely to me.

A speedway legend indeed and there are not too many of those. R.I.P.

Would any true speedway fan stoop so low?. I would like to think no, but as has been said, there is a very limited market. Maybe, though not too likely, pangs of guilt will set in and the items will be returned.

I hope you are right but I wouldn't bet my mortgage on it.

It's a strange sport when a rider gets a wildcard for a GP, then 10 months later can't make reserve for a SWC side.

You tell 'em WK

Don't get me started on Jokers, Double-points and all the other mullarkey that makes a mockery of the sport.

EL/PL amalgamation and split in to North/South leagues with 12 teams in each sector. It can't make sense financially for Plymouth to go to Berwick and vice versa.

That's why I asked the question

I have never watched NL speedway so I can't comment on it's attractiveness, but I agree that Entertainment is the name of the game. If Kent are providing entertaining speedway at the moment a step up could be risky. Yes...EL have better and faster riders but some of the EL meetings I have seen on tv have been far from entertaining. Is not the logical progression if Kent want to move out of the NL a move to PL, assuming we don't get a PL/EL amalgamation which I feel the sport badly needs.

Would you rate Fricke above Morris?

If the money is that tight why not scrap the SWC all together, or run it every 2 years to make the money go further. As long as all 16 riders in each meeting are fit to take all their rides, fine, but if not the meeting becomes a farce. With the meetings being televised all over Europe they can't afford a reserve?. It makes the whole project a laughing stock. Shame there is no Grigorij...without him I feel Russia have handed the meeting to Poland.

It's more than a shame...it's a disgrace. I really don't understand that choice. Wells is the best American after Greg after all. Strange decision.

I still don't understand why a reserve can't be used to replace an injured rider during the meeting. Most unfair I say.
