Blimey that's a bit early to be getting there! What you doing? Getting into your lion suit?

Better than when Eastbourne and Leicester conspired to keep the absence of Ed Kennett a secret until 5 minutes before the parade the other week. Well done to the Plymouth promotion for being up front with their fans. According to the Leicester website and twitter feed Bjarne is still riding!

Whoever it was that refused to come out for the nominated ride should have received a 1 match ban, all of them if needs be. The paying punter should not be the victim of riders disputes with their management! Tom Brennan managed to find his way onto the track, fair play to him.

You could have left the announcement until 18:55

I wonder if Glasgow do own Lawson's contract whether they get loan fees from King's Lynn & Plymouth, if so it perhaps explains why doubling up/down has become so prolific

Have they bought him outright then? I think Glasgow have Brennan

We'll just wait for you to go bust trying to pay Lawson his wages and have the points back

Yes, don't disagree that the track can take rain to get a meeting on and done... it's just that the racing tends to be rubbish in my experience

I did a season at BV while working up that way a year or two back and you're right it is a fantastic Speedway track, but... It doesn't react to rain water too well and becomes over grippy if it gets too much, refer to day one of the SoN/SWC a few years back gate and go heaven, day 2 was fantastic though. And I do like to go to the BHM meetings with a noon start... not seen a good one yet, I hope this Monday will be different.

Dunno... I'm just the guy (mug) that pays £17 to watch 4 riders in a race every week

Totally agree... not so straight forward when there is a shortage of riders though, nobody comes out of this mess too well

Do the paramedics get travel expenses for going to the wrong stadium?

Surely you should replace them not when they become a certain age but when they become unsafe... seems like a terrible waste, what happens to the old ones? Perhaps they should be recycled into track covers

No problem... so it is self imposed by the speedway authorities then, that's all I was asking

Yes, you're right it was obviously Jason Edwards that they were paying too much that's why he had to go, but it was too late Eastbourne could never recover from his wage demands... mean while Lawson was sat in the pits refusing to take his rides because he couldn't afford to take to the track

Yes, that's exactly right, it's just what I said in my post, I distinctly said all tracks should have unsafe air bag panels all the way around the track... smh So, by your logic they should be replaced with brand new ones for every match

Yes, I also take your point, there are 2 ways of looking at it. Lawson has already closed one club down this season with his wage demands and Plymouth already have Jason Crump and Bjarne Pedersen on their payroll. The club went bust only 5 years ago and found their level at NDL, now they're breaking the bank and probably won't even make the pay-offs (play offs)

I'll be going to watch the Speedway, not argue the toss over safety certificates, thank you very much. All I'm thinking is if it's a self imposed rule by the speedway authorities they're not doing themselves any favours by requiring a whole tracks worth of fencing panels to be changed in one go. It's like chucking a pair of socks away when when develops a hole in it.

There are many arguments... that is just one of them. Lawson has already closed 1 club down this season with his wage demands, now he's gone to a club that already have Crump and Pedersen on their payroll and are unlikely to make the pay-offs (play-offs)

Are Mildenhall still riding... is there even still an NDL?

Going back to the original question... not for Jason Edwards it's not, he's just been binned off (for the 2nd time this season) from Plymouth in favour of a journeyman from the senior league who already has a club in Kings Lynn

One of the most entertaining riders I've seen at BP this year

"Rising Star" Jason Edwards gets binned off again! For somebody that already has a job at Kings Lynn

Who issues the safety certificate?
