I'd have thought that the curfew kicking in was to Kent's advantage as the home track advantage has maximum effect early in the meeting, surely? I can't see past a comfortable Kent win in any event

The sad thing is that Torquay FC haven't sussed what's coming

Ben Barker!

You're not that desperate surely?

Clearly team riding in the true sense of the expression is a lost art. Astonishing that so many of the world's top riders are unable to practise it or as we saw last evening to defeat it. Looking over your shoulder as you approach the line on lap 4 does NOT mean you are team riding. Yet - GB apart - that was what we got from most of the 'teams'. Like several other contributors have already said, it had me on my feet yelling at the TV. A wonderful display of sublime skill by Tai and Robert!

Hmmmm The shape looks delicious

Plus £1.5 million per year IIRC

Thank you Sotonian for adding the link to the soft copy as I only had hard copy (the newspaper) to hand.

Did anyone else read the article in todays Mail on Sunday (page 75)? Sadly far too late to help Brandon, but might just ring an alarm bell somewhere and save a speedway track from extinction

And you can tell us all this with just 3 riders named?

Barncoose Boy? A lovely gentleman - if Dean is correct in this, RIP Godfrey

Yes I do, though I haven't travelled for an away meeting recently.

Worth finding, even if only for the views which are spectacular in the extreme. Speedway thrown in as icing on the cake. My first ever away meeting following the Devils (2006 IIRC) with a second meeting later the same day at Stoke. Lost both!

Sorry, but I must ask ....... before or after they have eaten it? EDIT: Ah I've now read the complete thread and TWK beat me to it

Any supporter of Torquay United should be very fearful

The key word in the above post being 'probably'.

Par for the course as HT suggests above (Good Morning to you, HT) I would imagine that the first round of the KO Cup would be included in the season ticket, but unless the promotion's crystal ball is working rather well, how could they be expected to know what further progress the Brummies were going to make in the competition? Edited to echo the 'BZ' to Workington for their generous gesture

No excuses! OTT

How can this be anything other than good news? More power to the Bee's collective elbow (assuming that Bees have elbows)

Shouldn't really be a surprise. Ellis learned his trade with the Devils last season and was making progress while everything was going into meltdown around him. He also started getting regular decent scores home and away in the NL. IMO he would/should have been the first name on the list had the Devils come to the Championship starting gate this season.

The Devils have already won, as they are running this year. This really IS a case where the taking part is more important than the outcome

On the 'plus' side you would only need half a track ........

Fold up bikes?
