  1. And that just confirms what most people think that Chapman isn’t even qualified to be a promoter let alone the chairman, and his vice chair isn’t any better either. The whole concept of the sport in the UK stopping treating supporters like mushrooms just doesn’t seem to be getting through does it.
  2. Now been confirmed for this Friday 13th October 7.30pm start
  3. Very possibly but it doesn’t get around the fact that the ones currently riding do both leagues.
  4. And most of them have no interest in riding over here
  5. Interesting that Leicester just say he is unavailable, I suppose shopping with his wife today and having his hair cut on Wednesday wouldn’t help would it. Complete and utter farce.
  6. But if it’s the same riders in both leagues how can you make it all one big league, where do the extra riders come from?
  7. Speaking from personal experience trying to rearrange fixtures during the season which enables both teams to track full 1-7,s is practically impossible because of doubling up/down, foreign commitments, FIM meetings, grasstrack, and other reasons illness/family etc. It’s clear from speaking to other clubs and the comments from others in the star everyone is in the same boat, splitting the Premiership and Championship will help significantly but it won’t solve everything. In 39 matches Panthers have tracked Their full 1-7 - 13 times R/R. - 5 times 1-7 with Guests. - 9 times Guests & R/R. - 12 times
  8. A lot of riders don’t need help getting them excluded, if they are stupid enough to go over the centre green having been told it’s against the rules then that’s their decision, no one else’s.
  9. That would have been Olly Greenwood having a spin afterwards ) To be honest since the ruling changed I haven’t seen anyone going around the starting gate not get excluded and we have had a few this season who have unfortunately tried it, not sure why riders still do it because they have all been told.
  10. Proctor wasn’t sure of his options Alan which is why he asked Tony Steele
  11. Tony Steele had a trainee with him, Busy night for him with 8 reruns. Interesting that Proctor wanted to discuss his options with the referee (in a very calm manner) following his exclusion for going on the centre green around the starting gate. It appears with the 2 minutes being close he was told to go the quickest way to the tapes and the start Crew would raise the tapes for him, personally I understood the new rule was as long as you were on track and going towards the starting gate it was ok.
  12. 7.30PM start, weather is bright sunshine at the moment. Peterborough at full strength and Workington are using RR for Jorgensen, they have Tom Woolley at no 7.
  13. No plenty of money scares the establishment
  14. The promotion relegation game is just a con to get more money out of supporters at the end of the season. Let’s be honest any club could apply to run in the Premiership and would be welcomed with open arms, all you need is a track and a starting gate. Personally I would say the crucial thing would be which club Damien wants in the Premiership next year.
  15. Ged’s said many times and again fairly recently he will never ask the fans for a whip round again.
  16. The rulebook is a total crock of Shyte and has been for ages, I am told by the SCB that team line ups can be changed by the BSPA MC and this has clearly happened in this case. Makes you wonder what other rules they can ride roughshod over.
  17. You also have it in the speedway Regulations that Championship takes priority over National except for NLRC, yet apparently the BSPA MC have overruled that rule and state Bewley and Smith ride in the NL. What is the point. Ludicrous
  18. Depends on the owner, local derbies would be better with Lynn, Leicester, Rye and Ipswich all within easy reach but not sure weekday race nights would support it crowd wise, crowds were not good enough last time we tried it.
  19. Not just Holder and Lambert unfortunately which if the rumours are right is going to disappoint a few next weekend. Nick Morris & Josh Grajczonek - Rzestow Steve & Richie Worrall - Rawicz I also heard Jake Allen got a few rides over there but not sure for who
  20. Absolute legend and as you say a lovely bloke as well, all the very best PK
