Blimey Badge,, if they can't beat that team, then they need to give up and do something else.

It’s a 5% added for home guests not away I thought!?

With James Shanes unfortunately out for the rest of the season & Jordan Jenkins taking a break from the sport, could the Brummies possibly look into making 2 changes by bringing in Ben Morley ( 3.81 ) & Danyon Hume ( 3.27 ) in the reserve berths with Nick Agertoft reverting back to the number 2 position. Bearing in mind that Morley had well over a 4.5 point average whilst riding at number 2 for Lakeside last season and at Eastbourne for the first 3 months of this season before being let go & Hume is getting his confidence back after injuries last season with excellent performances for Leicester Cubs in the NDL. A run in a reserve berth along side Hume would give the Brummies a strong looking reserve pairing compared to other Championship teams instead of having a 2.00 rider with little experience in this league.

Wouldn’t touch him with a barge pole! Over rated!

H Gould, no hatred of the “ Dugard Family “ per se. They are part of the speedway promotion along with others, and they do show a lack of professionalism at Arlington. Whoever saw ANY speedway promoter getting involved “hands (or heads) on “with riders in sight of the paying public? Disgraceful behaviour. Once again they have got off scot free seemingly placing the blame 100% on Craig Cook.

So if the existing penalty is upheld or increased and KL have no meetings then the penalty should apply next season.

I'm sure that many fans and many officials of many Clubs would tell you that Craig Cook can be a very naughty boy when the mood takes him. Bit of a split personality and obviously 3rd August was a very dark day. Your obvious hatred of the Dugard family (for whatever reason justified or not) clearly clouds any serious judgement that you may have.

Any rule that stops a team having two riders in every race is ridiculous,,,,,and also cheats the fans who have paid good money to see four riders in a race

fecking massive away win coming here

I'd agree with that. Swindon need Ellis Perks to chip in with 3 or 4 at home, otherwise it could be tight. Although Perks only scored 1 at Poole, he was giving 100%.

Who knows, but the panthers fsns blame him for everything, so I thought I would,, but as you can see, I did back track and say no he isn't. I could have deleted it, but I didn't.

Now Agertoft has got an official average, I'm not sure it's worth keeping him in the side for the rest of the year if there is a better option.

Have to applaud Buster Chapman for services to speedway yet again. What that man won't do to get Chris Harris confidence up for the play offs is superb. #busterbacksthebomber

Never mind - I think it will be a great meeting

At the risk of being chastised by another forum member for my previous reply to you, where on earth have you got this notion about a hate campaign. The PA guy said nothing. They had two interviews. One with Jon Cook who said about riders with the surname as him not being happy to ride the track. Martin Dugard was interviewed aswell and said that two juniors had been practising during the day and if they were fine, then supposed gp class riders should be able to. How the hell is that a hate campaign ? The PA guy was totally fine, his guests were a tad immature, but that certainly wasn't a hate campaign.

Examiners didn't notice it on IOW then

Is Arlington an inappropriate manor?

Reading a biography, Benny Hill was a speedway fan. He moved to a new home as a child that was around 100 yards away from the Banister Court stadium in Southampton and followed the sport until his death in 1992.

interesting that among the stellar names quoted there are some more modest talents - especially from those of us who only ever watched D2 racing. I myself have always admired triers, regardless of success

Or could the points scored by the rider in the period when the ban could have taken place be annulled ?

I still have one and in reality they offered very little protection but they did give much better perifheral vision which many riders prefered against full face helmets of the day .Mauger used to modify his mask as did Joe Owen in that he put in the biggest piece of lense material( came on a roll like clingfiim only thicker and you used the old lense as a pattern cut out with sissors ) that would fit ,you can see this on many of his action shots .

As both clubs are under the same ownership I would suggest Lynn fans have a greater knowledge of the workings of your new owner.

Fricke has the highest home average in the league, 1.5 points higher than Lambert, which makes it more difficult to cover for his absence at home than it is for any other number 1. Yes, some of our riders are not in form but prior to the defeat to Wolves we were still good enough to be in a relatively safe position for the play offs. Just be grateful, if Worrall and Bewley were on form we would probably win the play offs.

An unattached 2 pointer could have been drafted into the team but there were none already on the island and by the time it was known that Phillips would not make the meeting it was too late for any mainland rider to get to the track.

Kenny Carter

Yeah, could be a couple of suspensions for Cradley here. Never understood why a speedway rider or any sportsperson (pro or amateur) would book a holiday during the season (the exception being family weddings or similar) , shows complete disrespect to your team mates and club fans. (Unless you do an Armo and fly back from your Holiday to ride...)

For me has to be Brian Crutcher

None of which would have occurred if cook (Craig) hadn't put his parts on about the track etc.

If he wants to get a high price for it, should have sold 10 years ago. Gonna keep dropping imo.

You put your left Hans in.......

Ringwood was the place I was thinking of, which is why I asked if it was known as something else. This seems to be a totally new (to me) track

Very reminiscent of the Mildenhall side of last year with the amount of misfortune although Kent appear to be coming through the worst of it. Gilkes back to fitness, Ledwith close, if Spooner can return he is going to be very dangerous at reserve come the play offs.

Peter Collins.. Shudder to think how loud the decibels on the TV would be if Nigel and Kelvin had commented on him racing...

Even though his record of winning heat 1 when at No.1 this season probably hasnt been all that great, I think Leicester needs Scott Nicholls to get back there from a team point of view. Hopefully the upcoming new averages will bring that about, although it might be a bit tight. If it does, it should ensure he's also there for the playoffs. The lack of a nailed-on winner of heat 1 is putting more pressure on Connor Mountain to deliver a win in heat 2, but too many second places, including behind riders he should be beating in that heat. So that turns up the pressure on heats 3 and 4, and wheras in the early season Leicester were getting great starts to matches, they aren't doing that as much now and there's been too much need to use an early TS.

CraigA, I don’t have anything personal about Lemmo, just stating facts and some facts are very very harsh and it is a fact Lemon has blundered a number of times and he’s won nothing substantial. We must try someone else and imo I think screeny would be perfect.

Big win for the Warriors although still a silly rule that 3 rides had to go blank for Belle Vue (would at least make sense if a unattached 2 pointer could have taken them). That said 4 man Belle Vue put up a fight but its 3 valuable league points for IOW that not only almost guarantee they won't finish bottom but keep an outside play off chance alive.

No question about it - Nigel Boocock

Just tell us, where does the BSPA have any place in this dream world you have in Kent? As far as the rest of the world is concerned, they just aren't involved in any part of this ..........

I can see josh auty in double figures so should be close

Briggo.

Nail on the head.

The problem is Lions are currently 43.38, which is 3.38 pts over the limit, so to make 2 changes that aren't like for like they would have to re-declare at the 40 pt limit. To do as you suggest ,presume you mean Hume(3.27) for Lawlor at reserve & then replace Proctor, would only leave 1.87 for the rider to replace Proctor, which can't be done as the lowest average possible is 2.00. So looks like they're stuck with Proctor unless they have a new rider lined up. The new averages are out in a few days & come into effect on Sept .1st, I don't know what that means in terms of possible changes, but no way will they be in a position to re-declare at 40 pts. it will leave them far to weak.

Presume it was dictated by Sky Sports so advert breaks could take place after heats four, seven etc. Now with gardening at the starts we have an advert break between every heat. What happened to track rakers?

Haha, are you doing an SS??!! Lol, 12 point win for Swindon.

I would go the shorter way and leave 10 minutes earlier, your 2 minutes up then

I do feel as both the other perpetrators have served their punishment Cookie will have to take some sort of sentence.

You don't like him because he acts stupid. Yet everyone on the south coast of Poole absolutely loved Darcy Ward. Forgetting his talent, that kid was a proper d!©[<. Craig is very tame compared

If I'm correct, some of Craig's complaint is to do with how close Vatcher is to Jon Cook and Vatcher's shown bias in the lack of punishment towards one of the Dugard's. Also, maybe Lewis Kerr has an opinion in the defence of Craig Cook seeing as they're King's Lynn team mates but were rivals at Eastbourne. If any rider was to deserve the longest ban it should have been Kennett. He got involved in something that had nothing to do with him.

Whatever the provocation (and there was most definitely provocation) the man threw punches at the very least. if he gets no ban at all while Kennett and Vissing do; it will be a complete mockery of a decision.

That was his skin and it hasn't changed much since Only joking love ya really Bobby Mc you know that
