Is this how it works?

Well said. What happened to the Cardiff track enquiry to reassure fans they have learned lessons.

So Terry Russell, who rumoured to take a million for brokering a tv deal has also suspiciously given up on Blunsdon and is working with Clarke Osborne to find a new home for Swindon. The BSPA should release a statement distancing themselves from this man.

Can't say I am thrilled at the signing. Joe's past scores at EWR......... 0, 0, 1, 6, 1, 3.

When is the AGM?

I wouldn't believe a word Terry Russell says, he's probably sunning himself in the Caribbean burning his way through the Gaming International bung.

get in there

This is starting to look good

2nd German GP fell through and still no trip to Aussie. I knew Eurosport were bad news when they signed a 4 year deal with Gorzow. Riga is not a great track but at least it is a nice place and well connected.

If they are going with riding every team twice I would get rid of KOC and the other cup. Some teams were struggling to complete their fixtures before the cut off despite an incredibly dry summer. The problem is, the teams that make the playoffs also do well in the other competitions and end up struggling to complete all their fixtures before the autumn weather, it happens every year.

With Emil and Artem band from international events but allowed to ride in leagues, might we see one of them in the UK?

That was last years team and their finishing averages. The team I suggested was...... Ryan Douglas, Jake Allen, Simon Lambert, Zaine Kennedy, Connor Mountin, Adam Roynan and either Palin/kasper Andersen would fit under 38points.

I hope not, didn't have that good a season but is capable of putting something on his 6.30 average? End of season averages, but I think British riders get a 2.5% reduction....... Ryan Douglas 9.38 2 Jake Allen 6.30 3 Tero Aarnio 7.55 4 Simon Lambert 5.33 5 James Wright 5.38 6 Anders Rowe 5.21 7 Adam Roynon 3.67 Ryan Kinsley2.13 Jordan Palin 4.78 Zaine Kennedy 4.27 Ryan Douglas, Jake Allen, Simon Lambert, Zaine Kennedy, Connor Mountin, Adam Roynan and either Palin/kasper Andersen would fit under 38points.

Palin doesn't know if he's riding yet, still not right after his brain injury. Douglas good number 1 Allen could put a point on his average. I would give Zaine another season he was good when at reserve. Don't mind Lambet but I wouldn't build the team round him Mountain would be a good rider to get on his low average.

I thought the racing was decent, especially for sheffield.

If I was Lambet I would be embarrassed to wear that gold medal after 4 meetings.

all 4 idiot ref

This should be a belting meeting, nicely poised. Think Belle should win thanks to Ringer Lambet.

People give Justin Tomlinson a lot of stick, but the biggest villain is Terry Russell hes taken the money and ran.

Its going to be a bit odd seeing the Russians doing well in the league and not allowed to ride in the GPs.

I expect the we are going to see the Russians back in the league but not in the GPs. If Germany has 2 GPs and Australia still hasn't got 1, it might be Smolinski for Doyle, we all know there is commercial aspect to the picks.

I agree with this, I hope the Russians are back because some will be annoyed if it is the same line up bar 1 rider.

I think Terry Russell has been paid off.

Thats what it looks like to me. TR should probably just take the track as it is without the stadium being built and ask for a much reduced rent. Osborne would probably find another excuse though.
