  1. I don't think there is enough space to fit 'called off because promoter has the emotional maturity of a six year old' on the fixture list. PS second semi final of eurovision tonight - maybe that's the real reason it's off.
  2. No they wouldn't because that would have been: Illegal Against the rules Forbidden Cheating Come back when you've read the rules or grown up.
  3. Usually when hearings are delayed it is at the request of the appellant (to allow them more tome to prepare case, availability of witnesses, legal representation etc).
  4. I had a look at Sportowefakty and they published this date on 25 JANUARY. That's 14, yes FOURTEEN weeks. If this was such a problem for King's Lynn why didn't Buster do something about it in February, or March, or even April?
  5. That depends on whether it is: a sport with rules designed (as far as possible) to ensure parity of opportunity between the teams or a circus style entertainment run for the benefit of the promoter
  6. 'Tears & Glory' page 155: "the 1992 King’s Lynn v Reading match was postponed unilaterally by promoter Buster Chapman on August 22. (The Stars would have taken to the track without their top two, Henka Gustafsson and Mark Loram.) A month later the SCB awarded the match 75-0 to Reading, causing much outrage amongst their title rivals. " That's p155 as in 'taking the p155'.
  7. Good to see Austria represented ... by Andrew Appleton
  8. Why not? The reason for this call-off relates wholly to team strengths which can apply equally to the away team.
  9. Yup Violet Elizabeth Chapman will "thcream and thcream and thcream" until the BSPL roll over and give him what he wants.
  10. The real outrage is that this seems to be the prerogative of the home team. Visitors are frequently two riders short and nobody bats an eyelid. I imagine Buster will end up running twice a week with 3+ guests in early September in order to fit fixtures in as he'll probably cancel every week now on the basis that Ben Basso's a mechanic down or the start Marshall is ill.
  11. Absolutely. My recollection is that he'd been dropped by Sheffield (who were bottom of the league) for not being good enough.
  12. Or to look at it another way at least I saved £80 to actually travel there
  13. Musielak got 27+2 in his last two completed fixtures so I think that's a bit harsh. I always thought the key was how well the ex-Panthers adapted to Saddlebow rd, which makes Wojdylo's last performance an encouraging sign for them, but they are still badly short of top end support for Tobias.
  14. Plenty of current(ish) Americans with unusual names Tuff McBride Redmond Bohannon Jamison Dilkey Broc Nicol Slater Lightcap Elloy Meddelin Rheton Todd Then I doubt if there are many Celina, Sabrina, Maja, Patricia, Tegan, Hannah, Sara, Rachelle, Nanna, Jessica, Taya, Charlene or Katie's either
  15. By any chance was his day 2 May 2024?
  16. And worse still: last night we were cheering when a Spires heat leader got beat. And on Monday we'll be hoping Cheetahs no 1 Sam Masters has a poor night.
  17. Matches dropping out are 13 July and 27 July - 25 points scored http://www.gbspeedway.com/2021/riderperf.php?mc1=s&mc2=rc&mc3=av&mc4=x&rider=Paul Starke&league=B&sort=date&comp=CMA&club=Kent Kings
  18. So far: Prem: Spires drawing decent crowds Champ: well down but hopefully will pick up for league matches NDL: bigger crowd for Chargers v Edin. Academy than Birmingham v Belle Vue - looks like Sunday afternoon is popular
  19. Lahti (14) wins again for second year in a row. Jakobsen (12) second on countback from Riss. Kowalski and Brennan in run-off for last spot in the final. EDIT: and it goes to Kowalski
  20. Flint, Bickley, Gilkes, Rowe, Kemp, Palin and the Thompson twins were supposed to be the golden generation. While some of them are making decent progress they haven't hit the stratospheric heights many of us hoped. And looking at subsequent riders coming up through the youth system none (bar Ashton Boughen) look better prospects than the ones named above.
  21. The investigation has been called off - too much tea in the SCB ctte members saucers.
  22. Jesper is doing updates https://live.baansportfansite.nl/event/827/individual-speedway-euro-championship-sec-qr2-mureck.html
  23. About 60:40 ratio out to in I reckon.
