10 years ago... nobody denies that it hasn't produced decent racing in the past

What is the "set criteria", genuine question?

Who?

Don't think so... Plymouth had a top heavy team at Glasgow last night Worrall, Barker, Howarth, then nothing, racing was excellent!

A good article, something you'd expect to read from a first timer, unaware of all the politics and in fighting... that comes later I do wish Nigel Tolley would stop talking about moving to the Alexander stadium, he loses credibility every time he does!

He was breaking track records at Redcar while the rest of the team (Anders Rowe excepted) were embarrassing themselves in Latvia

Doesn't have to be passing to be a good race though (for me at least)... often a close race with no passing can be as exciting as a race with passing. Passing shouldn't be easy, it should take skill and bravery, that's what makes it exciting (for me). But at Poole, especially last Wednesday generally the "racing" was so spread out and from the gate, the very worst kind of Speedway for me

Was listening to him on the podcast a week or so ago and a couple of times he described himself as a "Winner"... could have been Whinger though I suppose and I mis-heard Love him or hate him, he certainly put many more bums on Sheffield seats last Thursday and there was a real buzz about the place

So it looks like you can have a big home victory AND brilliant speedway racing... just not at Poole it seems

Was really noticeable how the other teams had their "A" management team there and a sprinkling of riders from their senior squad. We had no senior riders and Neil Vatcher. Vatcher should be left to develop the next Simon Lambert's and leave the championship management to the big boys

Any chance of Panther moving to Swindon? There's a perfectly good track with a stadium being built around it an no Speedway team!

Scored between 2 & 4, 4 times in his whole career... unless you mean away from home or are getting him mixed up with Todd Kurtz?

Looks like we're underway again

Ambulance troubles here at Sheffield too, somebody in the crowd is not well

I also work on contract, I'm contracted until the end of September, I expect it to be extended... I have one days notice on this contract. Nobody will sort my next contract out for me, I'll have to find it myself. That's what being self employed is all about

What's he complaining about... at least he got told by telephone

I wonder why he didn't but that and bought the Shateau instead

I believe a statement about this abandonment will be made in a joint statement also including the arrangements about the Jubilee Trophy final

Bomber as is... or Bomber as you remember him?

I think it's fair to say Cook is a better starter and around Leicester that counts, Richie Worral around Leicester probably about the same as Bomber... which is why it was always about replacing Batch

It's a numbers game isn't it, to replace Batch who wasn't living up to anywhere near his average from the riders available (and/or, happy/willing to ride at Leicester), 2 changes had to be made. This was all brought about by Nick Morris failing to take a drugs test. It's not like Bomber has been left without a club... like Dan Thompson for example

No problem with that... if the sport wants any kind of loyalty they need to salary the riders, like Football does. He can't have it both ways though... I'm not sure what his beef is to be honest

It's an interesting one isn't it... a rider who has shown zero loyalty to any club he's ridden for over the last few years, has become a running joke in the sport, gets his knickers in a twist because all of a sudden a club decide to do exactly what he's done. His loyalty to British Speedway is not in doubt, be he has absolutely no problem in riding for which ever club calls him up on any given day even if the result of the match may effect the club he is contracted to and captain of

Are Panthers still in the KO Cup?
