Telford was never this cold!

The AGM can decide the World is flat. That doesn't make it right!

Comments regarding any individual are not relevant if they have no direct bearing on our desire to have a Coventry speedway team in Coventry. They are relevant, however, if the said individual has provided (questionable) financial information to Brandon Estates which they are using to "prove" speedway at Coventry Stadium is not viable. Any friend of my enemy, is also my enemy.

It's very simple. If the governing body invent a set of rules they have to be: 1.Make sense. 2. Fair. 3. Be applied equitably (same for everyone). Then this is legal and not open to challenge. For example, the points limit for each club passes the above 3 rules. So is not open to challenge. Build a side to 60 points and it cannot be justified within the rules and cannot be accepted, legally. Invent a rule that doesn't pass all 3 rules (e.g. rule 3) and you are liable to challenge, legally. Are we clear?

Scott Nicholls Not Allowed To Ride In The Championship?
False dawn replied to DC2's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
No. But this year it was because it was applied to riders of equal standing in a differing ways. It's easy. Apply the bloody rule or not. But do it to everyone. -
Easy mistake, it's actually Greg McHancock who is riding in the Scottish 2nd division.

A Good analysis Steve Roberts from speedway's point of view. The reason Sky put speedway on TV was for none of the reasons you put forward of course. They wanted more people to sign up for their subscription services and increase their income. But would any of us have refused to have speedway on TV though? But did we make the most of putting our league sport in the shop window alongside the GPs and SWC? It has taken us many seasons to realise that it's important to have a good crowd at televised meetings and take actions to make this happen. Of course, this season we have a much bigger problem. With fixed racing nights, any televised meetings are inevitably competing with other live meetings impacting the attendance of several meetings not just one. Another need for fixture planning (err, what's that)?

World Championship Pairs
False dawn replied to Mark's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
We can't even "photo start" let alone finish -
You're right. In fact only 3 inches needs attention. The top 3 inches.

World Championship Pairs
False dawn replied to Mark's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
No, that's a draw. It's rare indeed. I think I've seen 2 in 48 years! By comparison, I've seen 1 race where all 4 riders were excluded. And I believe deadheats are not "allowed" under FIM rules i.e. GPs, SWC, U21 etc. The referee has to declare a result even if the riders cross the line together. -
World Championship Pairs
False dawn replied to Mark's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I'd refer you to Bryan Seery but he is, sadly, no longer with us. Older fans will remember eh? You seem to think riders can only score whole numbers of points. Not so. For example if two riders tie for first place they both score 2.5 points. The total points are therefore, the same i.e. 5 points for the first two places. -
Oh come on Norbold. We all know you were there.
-
Seems sensible. Does that mean it won't happen?
-
Ah but, the smell isn't nearly as good!

And the whole of Coventry, speedway fans or not, had heard of Nigel Boocock. 18 years in the same team will do that for you.

electric speedway bike . WHEN?
False dawn replied to jenga's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I think we'll have to agree to disagree -
You didn't say where the finish line would be. I think Plough Lane is the only circuit where the start and finish didn't coincide (Fd stands by to be hit with a barrage of other examples!). More than once riders shut off as they passed the start line after 4 laps only to find their opponents whizzing by to the finish line further down the straight.

Reintroduction? I is one! -
Something so remarkable, almost unbelievable that we're still talking about it nearly 50 years on. He was good wasn't he?

I never got round to watching this film till now. Quite entertaining but best of all..... Through exhausts. Hmmmmm

You waited till later in life. You joined the forum and started p!ssing over us all. No offence Steve, the thought occurred and I couldn't resist it! (he'll get me back)

Surely Tony should be viewed as an "expert witness" in this discussion. Most, if not all, of the other councillors will have no knowledge of the speedway tradition at Brandon first hand. He can declare a vested interest and provide input to the discussion on that basis.
