  1. Think you could get the riders.But if you feel we couldn't get enough riders then how about 6 man teams.
  2. Don't need one league to do away with doubling up.Just scrap it or limit it to one per side.Mind you i would prefer one league.That way you get more variety and get to see a different team every week.
  3. That wasn't the question.You made it sound like it's ok for Peterborough fans to miss out.So thought i would ask you whether you would be happy for Poole to use the no facility option.But as usual you give a politicians answer.
  4. I wouldn't be happy as a fan neither.And by the looks of it they(Peterborough)will be happy going with no facility to cover his absence against Newcastle and Scunthorpe if he is chosen to ride for Torun.Another kick in the teeth for the fans. So had it been Poole meetings he was to miss you would be quite happy for them to use no facility.
  5. As i said in a previous post,we like our trips to Leicester on the weekend.First of all no having to get up early the next day usually.Leave at your leisure,not straight from work,little bit of shopping,pub,food and then speedway.But as i write 09:39 we don't even know the teams.I'm sorry but the added attraction of a bouncy castle i don't think will entice me to go tonight.
  6. These are the 4 i expected to be riding,can't see why they shouldn't be.
  7. Don't agree with this bit.Normally tv cameras follow the leader.Often there is a batlle for 3rd/4th which you don't often see,or even 2nd,3rd,4th.
  8. We all know how Batch sulks,and Buster done the right thing.His average was only going to go one way,and that was the way down.This would of course enable him to get a team birth next season.
  9. Normally go to watch Lynn at Leicester especially on a Saturday.This one though looks a big no no in my book,and there was me thinking we only need 2 guests and R/R for Jorgensen,Toft and Auty.Why do we have 5 missing?
  10. DWP did say "i believe",so probably wasn't 100%.I hope he was on borrowed stuff,because you would think he would go better on his own equipment .It was definately his own covers though.
  11. Are you sure about THJ on borrowed machinery.It was definately all his covers.
  12. And as i quoted you before,if the track was that bad your number one would have been the first one to do a runner. Seems like you would be quite happy to see another club fold.
  13. If the track was dangerous Andersen would have been the first one to have his say.
  14. Well Starlady that was poor tonight,racing wise.And no the racing tonight wasn't better than normal. I think Buster was up against tonight ie making a decent racetrack.Didn't he say he was worried about the weather,and didn't put a lot of water down.Which is why it was dusty after heat 1.He obviously didn't put much dirt down,again because of the weather report.You only had to look in the centre to see how much shale was possibly going to be put down.This would have suited our riders better now the Aussies have gone. On to our new recruits,only Auty imo came out and done what we expected.Hoping Jonasson and Toft will pick up with a few more meetings under their belts.Mind you as i said the track didn't help them tonight.Jorgensen and Huckenbeck rode well.Lambert as was said carrying an injury,why they put him in ht15 i don't know when carrying an injury. Most Swindon riders trapped well and stayed there and fully deserved their victory. Now onto Leicester with guests needed.I would probably go for Kerr for Auty and Tungate for Jorgensen and r/r for Toft.
  15. Thought Douglas was Australian and not rode or even eligible to ride NL.
  16. This is pretty much what i was going to put in reply to lisa-colette.There's a transfer deadline so you can up to that point.You can't put a transfer deadline at July 31st but the changes must be notified a week earlier because you would still have the same scenario,just a week early.
  17. Not far out with those proposed changes i think. There is always riders stopped from earning a living in British speedway.Look at the number of riders dropped from teams this season.Just because they have a week,a month or maybe more to get another team it doesn't mean they are going to get employed again. Say Lynn let Holder and Batchelor go with a day spare.Poole then sign them,where would this leave someone like Kennett and Andersen.It's got to end somewhere and this season it was at Lynn. They have not been stopped from earning a living,i take they are still earning decent money in Sweden and Poland,unless they have been dropped there too. Maybe The BSPA should come up with a rule that the team you start with at the beginning of the season should be what you end with also.This would stop all arguments concerning these sort of situations.Barring long terms injuries of course,of which then you could have a replacement.But hiring and firing riders at will is a common thing now in speedway.Being a Poole fan you should know this anyway
