Harris passed by Sedgmen, really?

'mon the panthers!

No chance.

I for one wouldn't go if it were anywhere other than really local to me if held elsewhere as I wouldn't buy a ticket until the weather forecast was in place. No such drama with Cardiff, it's guaranteed to be on. Have stayed in a B&B in mid-wales for £30 & travel to the venue is not that hard then. This year though I got a coach, 5 hour journey, left home at 6.45am, home again at 2am the next day - £40.

I thought Morris refused the test full stop, which means it's treated the same as a positive one.

That's true. It is of course understandable that he'd try anything to help his case, as I would and until proper testing takes place no-one can know what substance was detected.

Nothing wrong with that, the engine would've stopped if not re-attached very quickly, so no risk. I saw Billy Sanders do that years ago to an opposition rider as they were arriving at the tapes - was all in fun mind.

Would prefer a stronger reserve. Think Premiership is beyond Boughen for next year - if he is included then will need a stronger partner than Dan T.

Yes that's right in terms of stats, suppose I just have a different view of young, anyone under 30 . B Cook has only really progressed since being in the Premiership this season though in my view.

Been part of the rules for a few years now, H&S. They are also supposed to have their cut-outs attached to their or their/ their mechanics body at all times the engine is running but how often do we see some of them remove it from their arm at the end of a race - this is also H&S because should a fault/accident occur, the bike could charge off and cause injury.

They are not allowed to ride their bikes in the pits, that's why.

I find age a total red herring, JL was a novice at 28, Lee British champ at 17 I think. I'm also uninterested in performance outside of the UK but was merely responding to the 'best young aussie' and jawing with Baldyman. No doubt these riders will all improve.

But you said the best young aussie, nothing about 'breaking through' or 'success' so did you mean the best of the rubbish aussies? Ben Cook is also way ahead of Rew, thanks to his season with the Panthers.

I'd say that was LIdsey but you're right, Rew has been pants.

Everyone was rating that Jonas Knudsen as well and he's not great either. Never really liked many Danish riders in general - Nielsen and Eriksen being the exceptions.

No thanks, I think he's no longer suitable for the top league, too timid.

Yes, as happened at Coventry which has been deliberately left to rot for about 7 years now.

Riss and Rew have cost Ipswich this season, shame as they had the potential.

Why is breum withdrawn, just to give them the ability to use his third ride with a reserve? I see King worked his magic in ht12 again

The stuff which Aidan and Les Collins do at Buxton is marketed for those types of people, so it can be done but not at local tracks due to the time and council restrictions on events at many venues. Other attractions at the speedway - so, holding parties/events is something which could be done though, including exclusive access to speedway stuff.

I think he means lots of people play cricket, in school and beyond. Easy to do anywhere.

Totally agree. I wasn't bothered by the result, (apart from I didn't want madsen to do well) and went for the venue - the city is accessible, friendly, full of speedway fans & things going on, all in a small area. The world cup I went to at belle Vue was awful in comparison, dump area, not easy to get to by public transport, very limited parking and nowt to do around the stadium - plus if it rains, oh well wasted trip.

Charles 'crasher' Wright strikes again but has the ref on his side again!

This can't be right, I thought Eurosport owned the rights to showing Tai Woffinden

The only team they haven't beaten at home is Belle Vue so I guess you've just been unlucky seeing the losses or have only watched them away from home. Perhaps you bring them bad luck
