OK - pick any Ippo rider who is in the team on Thursday you like and I'll bet Garcia doesn't outscore them on the night, in fact you can name two Ippo riders If he puts in a performance like Holder on Monday then Ipswich are in for a hell of a thrashing

Don't get too worried, Panthers was a cup match so they didn't get any points! This 28 day period is the ideal time to race against Bears as effectively we have been a 6 man team, unless Garcia shows vast improvement he will extend his finishing last sequence at MPA beyond the current 10 races with ease! If Bears/Panthers had been at full strength for the whole tie Bears would have progressed to the next round, Having said that I also think Ippo are considerably weaker with Newman out, but at least in Sarjeant you have a possibility of some points return! Could be close, hoping for a good Bears win, but may be down to Hume & Mountain!

Unfortunately I see the changes since first leg favour Panthers big time and that will be the difference tonight, Bears will sneak meeting 47-43, with Lunna key difference!

You don't have to wait for the diamonds to come calling: pop down anytime!!

I agree, but why is it only applied to Premier average?

Anyone got any ideas why Ellis' average is different on greensheets for Redcar and Rye House? Redcar he is 2.38, which is the figure on original team building sheet which was issued, but on Rye House he is 2.32. No immediate problem or issue, just curious - although that 0.06 may be vital in team changes (but hopefully after first new ones he will be on the increase!)

Anyone know why Perks is shown in greensheet averages as 2.32, when the original sheet for team building had him at 2.38, and on greensheets for Redcar he is 2.38?? If there is a reduction due surely it would apply in both leagues? No problem, or issue at all, just wondered where the discrepancy arose.

Might just be an inspired move which plays to both riders strengths !!

thanks

Hi - Can any Comet fan give me some help - I'd like to know how to contact your official photographers - Dave Payne/Adrian Randall? It's for my son who is looking to speak with photographers across in Cumbria as part of his university course, trying to come up with some less obvious ideas. Thanks

And here was me getting excited about Jason Doyle signing !!

If a stipulation in a contract hasn't been honoured then I would expect said rider to be taking legal proceedings - if it is as black and white as you are making it out to be the rider is on a certain winner! I will be delighted if he follows up other part of article saying he must get better riders next year. re the track I have to disagree about it being rubbish week after week, apart from odd meetings which weather intervened I think that it has produced top quality racing. I do agree that Workington (or most other promotions) try harder than redcar - I see little evidence of "promoting" the product Apologies for hijacking Comets thread

I can fully understand that viewpoint, and no doubt many others would always want to be in the top division. I personally think speedway in GB can't be looked upon as having a top division which everyone aspires to, simply because the differences are so vast which negates the logical promotion/relegation scenario. Due to the structure of speedway as a team sport (eg rebuilding teams each season/guests/rr etc) I don't think you can make the comparison with football/cricket/rugby etc as they all have settled squads and in your example Man Utd & Chelsea would deem it as a failure even if the football was better. My big issue with the whole debate on what is better Elite or Premier, which gives better racing, who has the bigger names (Elite supposedly) is that I see the Elite league as a glorified premier League, or the Premier League is a watered down Elite - How many times this season has an Elite match contained a minimum of 8 riders who have regular team places in Premier league, often more! IMO for the sport to have credibility in its divisional structure teams should be of a strength which means only the top Premier riders ( and I mean a handful) are deemed worthy of having a place in an Elite team. Then you would say elite contained best teams and riders! I fear I will be dreaming for a long time. However, everyone will have their own views and the debate will linger on

Don't get too worried - I don't think he would want a weekend home track due to all his continental excursions! You may get a 2016 Bear yet though

Why do you have that preference and view? genuine question - no underlying motive

That's my view, but I would think the majority won't pay it.

OK to rehash original query - does a rider get paid for 6 x agreed points money for a TR win or just regular 3 points Or does it depend on what is agreed club by club??

You need to fit Ulrich in, biggest certainty in speedway he will be back with Rathbone!!

Statement is very clear that Peterborough will be PL. having stated in Star that he "isn't a rich man" I think he would have needed substantial financial backing from elsewhere to consider running two clubs, especially one in Elite League!

Having seen his crash and the concern afterwards, that is (relatively) good news!! Best Wishes to Nike

So looks like 5 rides for Etheridge and 11 rides between Rutherford and wallinger - betting spread is set at 4 points between them (only that high as they will be same races!!) Also got to be a good bet that Cook will score over half points the whole team gets - Ostergaard looked enthusiastic but not fast last night, so 30 points may be optimistic!! Re post #26 put me down as a cynic!

At Redcar tonight Shelby Rutherford confirmed he is riding for Panthers on Friday - don't know who for!

Where is this rule which says three dates have to be offered, I've only found a rule stating if both parties can't agree BSPA will dictate date to run meeting? And if it is one of these rules the supporters never get to see written down does it state they have to be by a certain date ?

Of course you then get into scenario of home promotions offering dates and away teams turning them down, I assume in those instances you would advocate the home promotion be awarded the points?
