I thought a rider could only get a TR on his programmed rides so that wouldn't work. But, is there any restriction on reserves getting a TR? I don't remember seeing it last year but that means nothing!!!

He couldn't as he's not British.

A little late, I know, but I'm making my Christmas cake tomorrow - I'll save you s piece. Better than humble pie 😄

Sorry - duplicated!

OK then - you want someone to say it, so I will: I think your bang out of order with your comments. You were being worse than cynical - you were actively trolling. The stadium is being built by the Manchester authorities - a mixture between Manchester City Council and the East Manchester Regeneration group. It will be approximately 350m in size with 10m straights and 12-15m bends. It has come about because those involved have ignore trolls and cynics and is a credit to everyone involved - council, speedway promoters, speedway authorities and fans. Even SCB has conceded that, despite his initial (huge) scepticism, it looks like happening. So that leaves you. What purpose, other than to completely undermine the hard work and commitment shown by those involved, do you think your cynicism serves? Are you simply a sad person who takes pleasure in undermining others? My goodness, the sport is on its knees in this country and those involved need encouragement not condemnation. Is it too difficult to say this looks amazing and I really hope that it's as good as it looks? Because that's how I feel about it.

That is the signing of the winter. No matter who else is announced where. Under 16 Aussie champion when he was 11 or 12 and beat Darcy Ward to the title. I'm not sure how he qualifies for a work permit though as is there not a rule about being in the top four in a State championship? Maybe he's planning on winning the Aussie title in January 😄

Started the season at 7.70, ended 7.06. Not exactly "well"

The blue rinses are right - the majority of posts you make have to have a pop at Poole. Fixated or what?Congratulations to Edinburgh - the best PL team all year.

The problem is that, by their success, Matt Ford and Poole Speedway manage to screw you, SCB, which is possibly why you are so bitter. And not just about Poole but speedway generally. What happened? You used to be a supporter. Now you just moan

My goodness boys, you caught a big 'un there!

What has happened to the TV coverage? My Sky planner isn't showing it on Eurosport now

I have just Googled it and there is something called the Tier 5 youth mobility scheme for people aged between 18 & 31 (which means I only left my youth last year - I wish!!) See http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-immigration/working/tier5/youthmobilityscheme/

Is there not a rule that young Aussies can come in on a two year working visa but then, if they haven't attained a certain standard, the state championship rules kick in? There was something like that with Cameron Woodward some years ago I think

Is Alex Harkess a "Matt Ford puppet" then? Was Pete Toogood? Chris Van Straaten? I think if there is a change then the most likely candidate would be vice chairman, Jon Cook. Is he also a "Matt Ford puppet"? How many puppet does one man get to play with?

2nd yes, but 3rd?
