So when do we see two confirmed teams listed, or have I missed it?

I thought that the asset system died a couple of years ago: "Swindon co-promoter Gary Patchett is refusing to buy Hans Andersen or Troy Batchelor and admitted “the asset system stands on the verge of collapse.” - I assume that it's recovered and that it was only in trouble at the time because it involved Panthers.

That's knackered that then, an afternoon of football it is!

Did ok least time that there was a tractor convoy down the A14: Rohan Tungate 2, 3, 3, 2, 0, 1 = 11 Read more: speedwayupdates/peterborough-ipswich-pl 12/6/15 It got a bit hot in the last two but he isn't meeting Kurtz, King and the Ostrich tomorrow, and Cooke apart, he can beat the rest at a track he can race on, so thankfully he's not riding at Foxhole.

Mr Rake speaks with forked tongue methinks, or is it my paranioa

So no change then.

As he's owned by the sponsor I'm sure that can be arranged.

Considering that many people have thought that it's ridiculous and said so throughout the season then it's not unreasonable that hansfan read it wrong, if indeed he did. Given the context and your posts on the page I'd have come to the same conclusion (but then again I am paranoid). My English teacher always used to bang on about the abc of effective communication, I think that you need to focus on the c to avoid possible paranoia in future.

Correct although this doesn't help matters: "The scaphoid bone is one of the carpal bones in your hand around the area of your wrist"

At that time that was accurate but time moves on doesn't it.

If he has broken it then it's one of the bones of the wrist: Scaphoid Wrist Fracture He'd be unwise and unlikely to ride with that but a red herring it indeed could be: cutting the cast off indeed

It's no worse than those denying that there was a problem when there cleary was. And yes a solution was found when push came to shove, but with a bit of seemingly missing cooperation and negotiation, all of the handbags could have been avoided and there would have been nothing to whinge about.

He hasn't yet.

Let what go?

If Thomsen removes the cast on his wrist (seems unwise and unlikely to me) to ride then the last thing he'll need is six rides.

It's Parkinson's Law of Sunday speedway whereby the meeting will fill the time available. The first consideration is that you and I may be organised and get there in good time, but as with any big club meeting, start time will depend on the disorganised still queuing outside. The second is any stoppages invoke the "plenty of time it's Sunday" level of urgency, as does the general running come to that. That would have missed the weekly curfew by 10 mins which tells you a lot. Too answer the question though: 7.40 is excessive and 7pm should be more realistic. It looks like everything needs to work like clockwork for you and only you can decide if you want to take the risk? I always thought that Neil Watson was a non de plume

I didn't like that bit Neil if you're reading. This is the man who said: "Personal comments/remarks are not necessary thank you ... "

I agree but it was a bit more than a slide off. He went over the low side to the right and bounced. That hurts. Read that but where is it confirmed?

It wasn't 15 mins. The timings were: heat 1 eventually at 5.30; 8 heats to 6.30; heat 10 interval 6.50 to 6.55; meeting finish 7.40 Apart from Konopka though, which he thankfully walked away from, and the track/medical staff dealt with quickly, effectively and efficiently, there was thankfully nothing to warrant such lengthy delays. Transpose those accidents to a Sky meeting and only heat 11 would justify the length of the delay.

Not that old chestnut Well worth watching but I can't cope with another 2 1/2 hours of "I'm now talking to" breaking the atmos' so will have to make do with a video. (better remove your like now dp )

That's true, and unless we know the real "why" here, then we'll just have to form our own sectarian opinions: "But, after long discussions involving rival promoter Damien Bates and the British Speedway Promoters’ Association (BSPA), Rathbone has been told his team must appear at Owlerton." Anyway, it'll all be forgotten by 7pm today!

You know full well the difference between a date in the calendar and negotiation with agreement.

That's handy then isn't it because Sheffield are good at short notice. They arranged a fixture at short notice that only they wanted, so arranging a guest that they were always likely to need, even this late in the day, is small change to them

Good job too. A tractor convoy on the A14 would play merry hell with the other Sunday drivers.

That was my initial thought. There are no prizes at this stage but progression and increasing difficulty. That's really a news item for a final so difficult to top that. However, as has been proved all season, Rathbone does his best to try and make it work so nobody can knock him for that. Ironically, if Panthers had done similar, hitting the right targets, in previous years then he, and we, would probably not be here now. "Anything that makes a noise or adds to the atmosphere is fine by me" - I'd just like to add that if you agree with that then you better sit in the cheap seats at the EoES or stand on the grass
