The kind of thing that Poole would never, ever do

Such sad news. A total gentleman and a speedway supporter through and through. RIP Bob

It's got nothing to do with what I want. You are entirely at liberty to make yourself look foolish if that is what you want to do.

Enough I think. I have been acquainted with Bob C for nearly 15 years and have always known him to be fair and pretty accurate in his comments, unlike some other one-eyed contributors.

216 Metres per lap. Shortest track in the country by some distance

And the Gladiators speak equally highly of you

What, Stoke as in Loomer Road?

Saw him riding at Buxton against the Devils some years ago. Rode like he'd got a screw loose that day and bordering on dangerous

But no mention of any sort on the BSPA website other than in the upcoming fixtures list. I would have thought that Plymouth's admirable effort was worth even a couple of lines

A lot of thought has gone into this , which means that the BSPA will almost certainly kick it into the long grass

I got a ban for something far less obnoxious than that. To this day I still don't understand why I received the ban

Ahem, Somerset Wyverns I think you'll find?

And I suspect your experience is fairly typical for many of the larger supermarkets (it certainly was for my wife and me during a recent visit to a branch of Morrisons). From what I've seen as a delivery driver, the small shops and their customers generally continue to observe the rules.

Worth it if only for the view!

I think you might mean Mark Simmonds? I talked to Mark about the incident a good few years after the event and he told me that he was just beginning to get his breath back and wondering where the hell he was when the track doctor rushing to attend to him slipped on the sloping ground, fell over and landed on top of him. Mark had cracked his pelvis.

Probably the BBC

You may well be right. But wasn't his role advisory upon request? This implies that every track gets visited whether they ask for it or not.

It IS a good idea. I can't think why it hasn't been done before.

But you were connected to a previous Plymouth promotion, were you not? The above post hardly inspires confidence if this is the typical mindset of a speedway promotion.

Not so much a shovel as a JCB

Good Evening HT. Delighted to verify that.

So, unless I have misinterpreted the general trend of opinion on this thread, David Wallinger is not in a ludicrous situation?

You wouldn't describe it as ludicrous if he had turned down the offer of place in a team though, would you?

Quote by the promotion from the Devils Gladiators forum: This weeks meeting is cancelled, the clay hasn’t turned up at the track as yet , 10am Wednesday, I and i cannot guarantee that the track will be ready. I do not like to disappoint fans by not having a meeting , I also do not like disappointing fans with copious amounts of dust. Last week we had the local councillors in attendance to monitor and noise test the Quads, and was probably dismayed at the dust as was I. I have not been able to sort mixed shale, the only quarry producing quality shale at the moment is in Scotland, therefore I am awaiting pure ball clay and will endeavour to mix it myself and hopefully sort the problem . >>>SORRY GUYS .......

I think some promotions might bridle at that
