  1. Steve the track was not bad and unsafe.It's just grippier than most tracks that's all.It didn't have any holes or rolling hills in it that makes it dangerous.Why would quality riders feel unsafe if they were quality they should be able to ride any track.Surely someone like S. Lambert should be the one feeling the most unsafe as he would probably be the rider with the least quality on track last night,no disrespect to him at all.But he just gets on with it. The track was no different to when you have beaten us twice this season but was it dangerous then?No,because you won.

  2. Wow! Some of your fans slated Redcar for sacking Østergaard after a few matches and then you dump a rider after even less matches! The wages you appear to have saved on staff have gone on " too expensive" Østergaard, so yet another ex Bear becomes a diamond. He will do you a good job tho as he's still got plenty of points left in him. Got to feel sorry for Bukhave getting the boot when there is a worse rider in the team.

  5. No I'm a speedway fan and Scunny is now my closest track since Hull Vikings closed ,last year whilworking away I Took in meetings at Poole ,Ry house ,Swindon And Shefield without Scunny riding . If more people did this then Speedway might continue in the UK in the future

  6. Folk hoping we get beat isn't vindictiveness, everyone is entitled to support whoever they want . And if folk hate us because they think we're some sort of moneybags club , then that's fine too, I've no issue with that . It won't stop me enjoying going to watch the Tigers home and away .

  7. I don't often get entertained on tapes up, full throttle, clutch out 1st out of the start, flat out racers tracks. Much prefer tracks with plenty of dirt, like the 70's ( Rory Schlein please note). The racing was better, more passing, more entertaining. If modern bikes can't cope then change the Bl**dy bikes not the track. You don't see any other sport where they change the track to suit the modern equipment.

  8. Riders struggling in the unpleasant conditions. Most important thing is to be safe and come away with no further injuries. Track is extremely grippy and patchy throwing riders all over the place. Hopefully it will improve. Result doesn’t matter.

  12. He wasn't that good. These things happen in speedway: unless you're Poole you're bound by the maths of the points limit. I've got mixed feelings this evening - I don't like the rumour about people not being paid, but this signing is excellent.

  13. Ulrich must have lowered his demands. Lol Fair play to the Management in making a change. I know Ulrich has been very disappointing this season he is still a very capable rider and he had his best meeting of the whole season just before Redcar threw him out. Hopefully he can hit the ground running for us. Max at reserve will get him plenty of points. Just need Thomas and Lasse back to get up to full strength.

  19. Ostergaard too expensive? Then you must be in trouble as he has never demanded big money at any of his last three clubs and would be on a lot less than you would have paid Bjerre.

  20. It's just the usual throwaway line. There was a purge last year and a lot of freebies stopped coming. it's not a problem now as long as riders, team and juniors, play by the rules.

  21. Easy to beat a team devastated by injury. But I doubt it will stop the gloaters. Revenge will be ours when it matters.

  22. But i suppose it will never get any better as there are still far to many freebies going through the pit gate on race days..

  24. Shame about that, i'm sure the Ipswich faithful would much prefer to see the mighty Pirates roll into Town with a full strength team...

  25. I did hear on Friday night that someone had been asked to leave the stadium , but to go onto Facebook using the name " John Smith ' ( seriously ) to have a rant only plays into the hands of the likes of Blobby . Thing is with our owner , he's a successful hard headed businessman , and just like Denham at Workington before him , treated people at a speedway track like possibly they do at the workplace is a no-no . Friday night was a bit of a disaster on and off the track , digging it up half way through the season before an important cup tie was a mistake , and one that cost us dearly. When riders started complaining about the track , the pressure of trying to remedy the mistake obviously mounted . Someone then shouting " this is a disgrace " was obviously the straw that broke the camel's back and the red mist took over . A sad and sorry situation that shouldn't have happened, let's hope lessons have been learned from Friday night .

  27. If you had of seen Jorgensen at Newcastle last night as I did he was all strapped up with purple tape and in agony and could hardly talk for the pain . With what he was saying I am surprised he actually rode tonight ...Injury nothing to do with Kings Lynn track

  28. Awful. You really would think after all these years they (all) should know how to prepare a consistent raceable track.

  29. I think pretty dreadful sums it up well. Racing, Crowd, Excitement & Persistent Restarts due to riders trying to jump the starts. Tatum got it spot on tonight, exclude riders who move before the tapes go up, warnings are a waste of time, none of this 15 yard crap, Chuck them out, it would soon stop.

  35. Pooles track is far superior to Saddlebow now the track has been fixed. We have something called passing on a properly dressed track. No wonder there was no one there. I wouldn’t bother if that was served up every week. Well done to Kings Lynn on their win.

  37. If we haven't sorted the final reserve spot by Thursday then the management can have no complaints if it's another poor crowd. We are being held back by having to use guests who ain't up to it. Get someone in asap or the season will drift away.

  38. The track last night was very good. Two spells of grading brought it back both times. The telltale sight is the sameness of times within a couple of seconds. It even held Barker with those extra fast dives into the bend, and then around the boards. One of the best performances I have seen from Barker.

  48. Something definitely to consider.. You do feel that it's only a matter of time before greyhound racing is 'hounded out' of existence given it's poor PR... Definitely feels like an orchestrated agenda gathering momentum against the greyhound fraternity.. Not to mention the falling crowds it suffers.. Housing development is much sought after politically too by local MP's so they won't be too favourable towards the greyhound followers I would suggest..
