  1. Pleased to see some clubs have some backbone, this is clearly wrong and needs standing up to. As for Holder junior does he want to race every week or not, the point made about Poland not bringing over riders and training them is a good one.
  2. Phone calls can be forgotten and are not always taken seriously, do what I did and write a complaint to your local Royal Mail area manager, delays like this are invariably down to your local Royal Mail office, someone's made a decision to put some of the less urgent mail to one side as was suggested by my local postman. My star was getting later and later being delivered until I complained and four years on my star now arrives Thursday 99.9% of the time, complaints generally are monitored and generally don't get ignored and the bigger companies don't like it, hence they do something about it.
  3. Weather has significantly improved this week and it's generally been dry and sunny here so Panthers hopefully on track for Press and Practice next Friday (17th)
  4. As others have said they may well be waiting for the football to finish and the weather to be more reliable.
  5. As absolute class act and loves speedway to boot. Certainly the best presenter Peterborough have ever had.
  6. Shame he isn't so good at getting stadiums built.
  7. I ditched sky sports a few months ago for BT so I am well pleased.
  8. He isn't the only one who has his posts vetted on here as any posters connected with a club in an official manner will know. Well to be fair Jonathan you are both ex members of the BSPA but it's interesting that tsunami still defends the BSPA.
  9. As another total outsider I think it's dreadful but if the Leicester fans are happy I hope they enjoy it.
  10. Not necessarily the case, we race on what night we like providing the stadium is free, to be fair we have tried most nights over the last few years. If tracks are restricted to one set night then they race in that particular league, I doubt it would affect that many teams to be honest.
  11. Putting Championship and Premiership on different race nights would solve the majority of missing doubling up riders overnight. If the fixtures are required to be out much earlier than they are now then they need to start doing them earlier and if that means an earlier AGM then why not. They talk about every year and every year it stays the same.
  12. Clearly not, personally I think Workington are one of the worst sides.
  13. I agree it's not saying anything new apart from what Horton states that the riders haven't been released. That's not quite what people have heard and reported, that was that riders have been told if they get another offer from another club they shouldn't turn it down.
  14. I was told exactly the same and again from a reliable source.
  15. Excellent , Greg riding for nothing yeah that's going to happen, crikey the bloke doesn't even want to ride for his country now.
  16. Quite possibly but since I complained (a few years ago) my copy has arrived pretty much on time every week, so clearly something changed.
  17. If it takes off this could have a dramatic effect on costs which is a major plus both for riders and the sport in general.
  18. I was told by my postman that some of the magazine mail is held back sometimes at the discretion of the sorting office, my star was very haphazard in being delivered until I complained to the local manager, funnily enough it's been as regular as clockwork since then, the only factor which can affect my delivery is bank holidays sometimes making it a day late. As for the articles I still think most are a good read, clearly when you use a lot of different contributors the standard can vary as in all jobs but overall I think it's good value and having read it for 46 years I don't anticipate giving it up anytime soon.
  19. Unfortunately the BSPA make a habit of this sort of thing and it isn't helpful, it could and should be properly explained, at the least it would stop a lot of the flak they get on here.
  20. Great rider but complete lack of common sense, unfortunately Tai the world does not revolve around you and British speedway certainly doesn't, let's be fair you cannot even be bothered to ride over here most of the time. What a surprise the BSPA said no, you don't even qualify for one yet. Do a few more season has over here, ride in the British Championship and for GB and I dare say the BSPA will say yes.
  21. I completely agree, season tickets should apply to all matches including play offs, cup finals etc. Peterborough ST do not cover Semis and Finals but offer reduced admission for these matches.
  22. No I wouldn't, past his best, serious injuries and a disrupting influence in a team who is well known for not liking wet conditions. Your welcome to him, I see him as a big gamble.
