Great result from Rooboy and well done Matty

So should you Cyclone. I never accused you of calling John Campbell a plonker. It was a general comment. Whether I take exception to it is neither here nor there. Firstly you call me a sycophant then accuse me of "surreptitiously ferreting Forum members id's" I think there is a touch of paranoia here. I merely can see the same style of posting on both boards. End of story as far as I am concerned.

I have not ignored it Cyclone. It is one of many questions he was asked. How he chooses to answer them is his business. John Campbell is no different to any other person who votes. If he doesn't want to declare how Edinburgh voted again that is up to him. I don't happen to like that but how do you make people tell you what they did? Plenty of snide remarks have gone on on the board Cyclone as well you know seeing as you were part of some of it. Please don't assume you know what goes on concerning the running of the Chatzone. It has nothing to do with the Edinburgh promotion and don't ever accuse me of toe-ing the promotions' party line in an attempt to gain favour from them As far as the Chatzone goes we have no ties with the promotion, nor have we ever sought any. You mention the man who was "stifled" according to what you have said, as far as I am concerned we didnt restrict what he was saying in any form what so ever. He still was able to post what he wanted and is still a member. There is just as much free debate on the Chatzone as there is here, but unlike here we have members of the promotion who will put their views forward. I think your anger is simply due to the fact that JDC doesnt see the problem like you do, consequently you dont like him trying to defend it. That happens within any debate, and the Chatzone is exactly the same. We try to ensure that everyone has a chance to put their views across and that applies to fans and promotion, however there is a responsibilty on everyone to be fair to all posters. Calling people plonkers and bad mouthing others elsewhere gets everyone nowhere. I dont like the joker rule any more then you do but at the end of the day it's Johns decision what he says in relation to the BSPA.

Hey that's not a bad idea Boywonder Not sure about your inlaws tho

I think Poland would be a lot quicker to get to than Poole for me

Does your pity not extend to us up here in the North? It's a flipping long way from here

Ahhh so you are really a member of the BSPA Your comment suggests you have the perfect qualifications

I think it needs a lot more than just tweaking Surely you haven't forgotten the time when Edinburgh had all three heatleaders out injured at the same time Thank goodness it didn't last for too long and also that we had a less than full PL fixture list at that time. But what would happen if the same scenario strikes any team next season? There does not seem to be have been any provision made for teams experiencing this.

A bit harsh Cyclone. Are you saying we the ordinary speedway fan and joe public should be privy to what actually happens at a closed meeting. As I said on the Monarchs ChatZone it doesn't happen in other businesses so why do you think we would hear about it in speedway. I use the word business because first and foremost whether we like it or not a great deal of people's money is invested in clubs therefore it is run primarily as a business first, sport second. BTW I don't see other promoters coming on to a fans board to answer question like JDC does. Whether we happen to like the answers or not is irrelevant.

It's the Elite League Management Committee that I have trouble with I thought there was only one management committee and that it was made up of 3 EL and 2 PL promoters.

So it's as you were with the ridiculous golden dingly danglies...pathetic I am pleased to see the Premier Trophy back but do not like the fact it will be over many more matches and gives teams the opportunity to fiddle averages again before the league campaign starts Just when you thought it couldn't have been any worse than last season we get this load of crap It's time the bar facility was removed at these conferences as I am certain most of these decisions were made when they were under the influence

I am going for the first time and can't wait Going with Pammie and her folks. They go regularly as well as quite a few other Edinburgh fans and always have a ball so I am sure you will too Discoll. Maybe we can meet up this time seeing as you whizzed past me when you came up to Armadale and never had time to say hello

I'll tell them you are looking forward to meeting up again then Bryn

Nice pics Marty. Looks a tidy wee track Love the colour of the sky 8)

Come on Lunchy, I did say to me it was simple

Good luck with it all Marty

Rod Colquhoun :!: :!: Now there's a blast from the past

To me it's simple. There are 90 points in a match. Two teams take part in said match therefore 45 points is the correct figure for averages and team building to make that match as balanced as possible. It's a fallacy people/promoters thinking that lowering the average will save them financially :? It will also put many riders out of work :x

They will be recovering from sunburn, sunstroke, hangovers and credit cards that will have gone through the roof when the little woman has been on the rampage. What makes you think they will have been doing anything of note :?: They haven't in the past and I have absolute faith that the majority of them will once again do their utmost to bring British speedway to it's knees with their selfishness :x

Marty any thoughts on who could be the next Rory Schlein or Matthew Wethers for us :?:

It was also good of our promotion to recommend Nicki Pedersen to Newcastle when Edinburgh couldn't fit him in to their team that season

Correct I was driving

Hi Wolfinflorida! You will get live updates on the yahoo speedway list. You can watch the updates but if you want to post on the list you will have to register. Did you have problems in the chatroom last night :?: We saw you come in and spoke to you but you timed out and were gone.

Now now Sean just what are you insinuating :?: Have you seen a drop pass my lips :?: Really hoping he has forgotten about Arena
