The Third Man

a few years ago oxford v Halifax 12 3-3s and a 4-2 to oxford nearest I know to all 3-3s

but also anyone in this thread is only commenting on what is in the public domain, none of us know the full facts, and we never will unless all the parties involved disclose all they know. so we are commenting on what someone has been told, as presumably none of us were party to the actual discussions between the rider / promotion / BSPA, be it the truth or not can you name your sources, the ones who were present at all the meetings who have told you ALL the facts, or would they rather not be named?

the problem is some people do get told information that is not in the public domain and cant say anything because of who told them others discuss the rights and wrongs of what is in the public domain that's life I am afraid

Thats why I had to reply, surely a rider belongs to the lowest league he rides in not the highest, otherwise why would an EL rider want to ride in PL so because something has a title that makes it that thing, and anyway which word is the "higher" word Elite or Premier, something else open to interpretation and opinion. and shouldn't a leagues title be its lowest common denominator, and not a few riders at the top, so perhaps the EL should be known as the NL plus, just an opinion of course

7 of the 13 on show are PL riders riding in the EL, which just shows what a poor standard the EL must be

Get well soon Simon same to the other two injured last night as well

Never expect much from any of our riders at Newcastle, but we live in hope

Northbound, 41 was closed again last night as was 36 and 36a, don't know about tonight

If you 46-44 every week and there is no passing it will be just as boring

Well done great day out, good that Stead won it, a team mate of Rickys in that first great 2002 season.

Just a slight alteration to the directions. the roundabout is no more, turn into where the new Sainsbury supermarket is and turn round there, and head back in the direction you came from. Lets fill this car park up first, more money for Ricky if we do, cant see any of the stadium car park money being donated to Ricky, buts lets hope they do the same Thanks Wednesdayite

First match at Sheffield in the 1968 season, halifax in a challenge match i think

yes good call, didnt realise Bunyans average was so low, agree Sissis at reserve is a must

Anyway back to the team, anyone think Jason Bunyan could do a job for us?

Both riders who i have seen Shawn Moran for the entertainment Jim Airey for the consistant points scorer wherever he went

He was then replaced in the 73 team by Rick France, that team was one of if not the best Sheffield teams i ever watched

Soon, and then they will be amended every week until the end of the season

Only lost because riders wont try it Remember Andre and Benji, the best piece of team riding i have ever seen, Andre had to just about stop on every corner to protect Benji

The only time he looks round is after the race to see where his team mate has finished, he gets a stiff neck turning round when he is racing it is his one fault, abandoning his team mates to look after themselves

that would be a shock

the following i can remember Belle Vue Birmingham Perry Bar Scunthorpe Wembley Belle Vue Halifax Cradley Leicester Doncaster Long Eaton Hackney White City Hull Hull Milton Keynes Bradford Newport a very sad list

i have never understood why a close score means a good meeting good racing makes a good meeting, the score is irrelevant i have seen loads od meetings at Sheffield when we were top of the league, where we thrashed teams, but the racing was very good and it was entertainment at its best, and i have seen the complete opposit, close scores rubbish racing

why not go all the way and have guests for any rider in the 1-7 who is missing for any reason, sorry but rather a NL rider gaining experience than yet another track specialist guest who will be hand picked by the home or away team i have never agreed with guests for any reserve because if a rider is out for any length of time some teams just use in form guests for as long as possible

but they are allowed for the highest one already so even more guests next season then

is it true that guests are to allowed for all reserves now? hope that this isny true,
