  1. I'm pretty sure Les was using one at Leicester in the lead up to the 82 world final... May explain his phenomenonal form that year
  2. I'll agree that having a lot of meetings packed into a short space of time with double headers, against the same opposition is pretty poor but the last home match at Leicester was Monday September the 3rd... 2 months of the season still to go, Belle Vue finished a month early...
  3. I thought he was one of the early riders to ride the new (at the time) GM engine. Les was one of the most underrated naturally talented riders I've ever seen
  4. It's ok to reflect society but the BBC massively over represents minorites that suit them, one assumes because the organisation is lead by people of these minorites. It's almost impossible to turn on a BBC programme these days without having one minority or another's issue being rammed in your face. I'm not opposed at all to any minority at all having air time but it must be proportional to their population. The same goes for Speedway, just because men's football is the most popular sport in the country/world doesn't automatically mean that the women's version of the game should also be equal, the quality is no where near the same as the men's game you only have to look at the attendances and the match scores to see this
  5. The Speedway season runs from March until October, so as it's only halfway through October and it looks as if all the fixtures will be complete by the end of the month, I'd say that it's been planned to perfection
  6. And all of that could possibly be thrown into confusion with the proposed tightening of the IR35 laws
  7. Or he could be being deported as he's living here and not working here
  8. Did you see the white line though? It looked as though it had been painted during an earthquake!
  9. What's Neil's share in the promotion? Does he have a share or is he an employee or a volunteer?
  10. You're obviously drawn to cheats RIP deadly
  11. Don't think the poster mentioned British Speedway
  12. As I've hinted at elsewhere in this thread there are quite clearly agendas in today's mainstream media and unless you play to that agenda you're very unlikely to get any regular coverage unless you make a major achievement (Tai Woffinden). If you take a look at attendance figures for women's football you'll see they're remarkably similar to that of Speedway (or what I'd guess speedway's to be), yet speedway doesn't get a look in. The best thing Speedway can do to get some consistent mainstream media coverage is to get a decent pool of female riders competing throughout all 3 leagues
