I don't know, that's not my point. My point is a draw is a draw... Except in Speedway

Ahh... Well this is where I would have broken away from the other countries. We're currently rock bottom and something drastic needed/needs doing. I would have gone for Friday and Saturday night

I think FRN has worked... They're just on the wrong nights

I disagree, you always get 2 points for drawing away from home, you don't always get bonus points in the other instances you state

Of course bonus points are different to points... you ALWAYS get the points, you don't always get the bonus points... That's why they're called bonus points, der Anyway... I'll be seeing you next Tuesday

That's bonus points

No... I'll take the bit where he/she's going off at a tangent about every sport being different and the home advantage thing as him/her wanting to change the subject because he/she couldn't read the detail of my original point... as an apology

I'll take that as an apology, thanks

So again... In which sport other than Speedway do the away team get more league points for a draw than the home team? ... Apology accepted

Not more points for drawing though, that's what's ridiculous... please try to understand, you miss the detail in your eagerness for an argument

Thanks for your feedback... so you think that an away team getting more points than a home team for a team is not ridiculous?

If promoted properly I think there could be quite an appetite for test matches... there was quite a decent crowd at BV earlier in the year for the U21 Team Championship and this despite zero promotion in the UK

The delay between heat 20 and the semi and the final are the reasons I don't go to this anymore... any tension built up through the meeting is lost when it takes half an hour to run the final 120 seconds of racing

Agreed with the bonus point... I just can't get my head around the current league point scoring system, never have been able to. Can never remember whether it's 6 or more than 6 to get or lose the extra point and an away draw getting more than a home draw is just ridiculous

Times have changed though... we live in an instant society these days, multiple forms of entertainment at your fingertips, food and shopping delivered to your door. I don't know where you were getting your 2 hours for 13 races from, at Coventry I seem to remember being away regularly at 8:45 - 9:00 with a 7:30 start

I think closing the door is hard racing, fencing a rider deliberately is dirty... and I though it was Robert Lambert that was ruthless, it says so all over his clothing

I liked the tractor guy at Scunthorpe on Friday evening... we didn't see him until after heat 10... and then never saw him again. There were zero track rakers and the track was fine all night

It's a shame, that as quite a prolific Twitter user, his back injury didn't allow him to reach for his phone before the event to let his fans know he wouldn't be there. I expected better of Scott

Agreed, that's why 99 years stuck in my memory... I wonder where I got that from

Thought I read it in the star when BSI first got the rights

I thought they had the World Championship rights for 99 years?

Heat 10 has just finished here at Scunthorpe and the tractor has just made the first appearance of the night and there are no track rakers... The track has been fine!

While I wish AJ all the best in his retirement, I don't think you can compare him to TK from a Coventry viewpoint. TK was a one club man

The US Open has, that's all... that's not most

you'd think they'd get a co-commentator that wasn't verbally dyslexic then
