It surely would be interesting to know which clubs have failed to fulfill visa obligations and for the authorities to punish them rather than the whole league.

Panthers get preference for Blackbird and Simon Lambert, Robert Lambert misses 3 meetings by my reckoning. Jon Cook does the fixtures for the EL, John Campbell does the PL. Certainly my understanding

Well let's be fair Somerset didn't even consider LANHAM until forced into a change and nobody else wanted him including Sheffield. I think Somerset look very ordinary now and Workington look nothing special after weathering the Palm Toft decision.

Your view of riders taking any notice of start marshalls must be different to mine, as others have said most riders completely ignore them. As for referees we have such massive differences between ability, competence and consistency, it really is about time they graded referees accordingly, the idiots in charge of last years PL pairs and the Coventry sky match with all the exclusions being just 2 good examples.

5 Friday tracks ruled out straight away and anyone else signing him would be disadvantaged when the rode at the Friday tracks, it's too much aggravation, not in the least surprised he has missed out.

Unlike some

A young Brit, every single time.

Has May lost the plot.

It's a good point.

Why, it's only gone one way the last few years and that's down.

I was told today that only applies to riders in the teams 1-5 NOT fast track reserves.

I was told Blackbird is an asset of Mildenhall. Blackbird and Lambert,s priority is to Peterborough in the event of fixture clashes with Wolves and Leicester respectively.

Simon Lambert 3.73 not 3.78

Information I have is Todd's taken a year off at least.

A few riders on the short list according to the management, will make a decision when they have given it due thought.

More likely it's mostly crap and the fans are kept totally in the dark like normal.

Interesting that the star report, which would have been with the star by Tuesday midday has still not managed to hit their website.

We will see, it will be interesting to see what the scribes say

I must be missing something because your not the first person to like the Sheffield team for 2015, looks pretty average to me.

Shaun are you serious

I also remember ROYNON being stopped for riding for the Panthers a few years ago when he didn't have a PL average due to being out for a year with a broken neck. It really is about time the BSPA sorted this rulebook out, I keep banging on about it but it does my head in. What's worse is most of the promoters and managers don't even know it, their knowledge of rules and regulations is abysmal.

I know 4 friends who having booked flights and hotels then struggled to get tickets over the internet eventually going through viagogo They had to buy 5 because the above firm wouldn't sell them 4 together, they paid £280 for 5 tickets with a stadium value of around £10 each after adding the fees etc and a not insignificant mark up. They are left feeling very disappointed of having been completely ripped off by what they see as plain profiteering on a grand scale, and are now questioning if they will bother with GP,s abroad in the future. It will be interesting to see what the real attendance will be on the day but this isn't a good start for the Warsaw GP.

Yep but he has always had a British passport as well which made it easier for him.

He certainly didn't last year

I see your point but I would sooner have a good top 4 than a good reserve, it certainly didn't hinder Edinburgh this year.
