SCB

"interesting" as in, "damn fiddle to get riders work permits". It's become a bit of a joke but then some of us predicted this last winter. I'd be saying only top 8 Aussies in the Oz title get work permits, after all, work permits are meant to only be for the very best!

Apparently, and I think it come form CVS at the Wolves talk in, internationally there is now a 9 day sit-out period for any head injury.

Very few I would have thought as most OAPs won't be working and they don't pay any NI if you do, and if they pay into a pension while working they get huge tax incentives too. Surely the most important thing is the amount of disposable income? And old people have more than young people.

More than 1 in 8 Under 25 don't have a job (and that excludes those in education), so boo-hoo to the OAPs who are a bit poor too. Also relative poverty is bullrubbish. What that says is that if 60% of the UK lived on steak, caviar and champagne that anyone living on pork chops, eggs and Prosecco would be living in poverty technically. Real poverty is whne you can't afford heat, food, water and a roof over your head - I don't have stats to hand but I bet an awful lot more under 25 can't afford a roof over their head than OAPs Of course not all pensioners are. But on average, they're better off than the young. So if OAPs get a discount because some of them are poor, can young adults get a discount because more of them on average are poor?

Which you and starman do. Because neither of you have provided any evidence.

Chris Neath averages 5.4 in his first full season and never dropped below 6.5 after that, Tungate got 6.5 in his first season and I seem to remember Boxall being 4 in his first year and not dropping below 5.5 after that. You've picked 3 really poor examples Hes turned a wheel. He's had two seasons and failed to average 5!

As Blackbird, Mear and Kerr are all draft riders your can't have 3 of them. Tbh, I don't see how you can have two of them

There you go, starman has spoken! Marc Carney must be worried he won't be after his job!

Isn't it the case now hat riders who suffer concussion have to take a mandatory 9 days off?

Robert Mears sponsor on twitter seemed quite confident he was riding a couple of weeks ago. I'm guessing he'd replacing Blackbird.

You do realise what a troll is right? someone who come on, states and opinion and failed to justify it is trolling. There is nobody worse for that than you.

And as I keep pointing out, OAPs got the reduction because there was a time they had the lowest disposable income of all sections of society, thats is no longer true. It's now the case that under 35 have the lowest disposable income. You know, the group that has to pay for historically high housing, can't afford to buy so end up stuck renting meaning they'll continue to have less disposable income as they grow older as they won't have been able to buy houses which historically young people did so they saw their housing costs get lower (relative to earnings) as they got older. But don't let the facts get in the way, stevebrum and starman have spoken Don't believe me, google "disposable income by age" and see what you find. What about this article? http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/a2f9471e-1f6e-11e2-b273-00144feabdc0.html#axzz3tkvx7IxJ or this article? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2966649/Rise-rich-pensioner-65s-better-population-young-people-incomes-tumble.html another one.... http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/saving/article-3087961/Despite-having-far-lower-monthly-disposable-income-30s-save-larger-chunk-money-else.html C'mon steve/stary, justify your opinions!

"Zach" is much easier

No, it's a question on a discussion forum to allow discussion to take place. Try it, you might be good at it and enjoy it. Why should OAPs pay less?

Why? The EL draft riders didn't have EL priority. Once again the PL want to have it's cake and eat it.

TBF, the people on power may arrange the fixtures so that Wolves go to Lynn and Swindon on a day when Sheffield are not riding at home. You never know, they may have listened to the fans and arranged the fixture properly. LOL

Has Ty Proctor been linked with Edinburgh? Its about one of the only places he can go now, unless he's off to Newcastle.

Why would Sheffield agree to such a deal when they have priority? Wolves were mugs to give away priority to Blackbird last season

Bet you're gutted!

Rolling average is 20 meetings. Shall we say minimum 12? Or do you want to say more? And I don't think I'll be going anywhere even if I am wrong

Stead aside there between a little and a lot of improvement in every one of them riders. Looks like a pretty exciting team too. And Berge aside it's British

There was nothing unexpected about it. Swindon picked Stef Nielsen but at the time he was in contention for a place at Ipswich so BV decided to wait and see, had Stef signed for Ipswich he would have been at BV but BV always had Boxall as the back up if that failed.

So either Aussies are a 5 now or Somerset has messed up for the 3rd year in a row. What will it be?

8.5 on the official green sheets? If so, deal

I had Kerr down as about 28 or 29
