Pothole Park!!! Classic

Well he is from down under,

So as I said - all 3 improved when they left Poole!! Which is what was being asked!!

You’re constantly going on about huge names, you wasn’t even running 2 weeks ago, just be thankful to actually have an owner and stop expecting the world from them when they’ve just taken over.

Gollob and Hampel both sign for Ipswich because the track was tight and tricky and they recognised that would be a massive help in their development. That said it was the old Foxhall track.

You need to get out more.

If you can’t respect the posters and just keep giving insults and name calling just jog on and stop posting it’s getting boring. We are talking about the Ipswich team or lack of at the moment and you are adding nothing to it

I have always said talk is cheap...

Connor Mountain will make someone a good signing in the Championship. This Poole thread is a good read for a change, shame about the name calling though.

He’s right far more often than he is wrong.

Is he referring to Brexit?

Not sure what's so hilarious when a Premier League side have just been promoted and signed Nicki Pedersen. Lindgren to Wolves would be quite unsurprising by comparison.

Yes, my child?

Vic Eastwood, the very successful scrambles/moto X rider passed away on Sunday. You may say what has Vic's passing got to do with speedway, well, probably not much, but he did race machines which had Hagon frames. I did buy a bike from him once, at his shop and was a gentleman to deal with. RIP.

Cook, Riss, Proctor, Hartel.

Unless 4 is lower than 3.49 he will not be at reserve

We're even running out of them... Unless we go with Max at 7 and Lasse at 6...

I don’t believe a >12 average is a bar per se, but it would be a big chunk of the team total

Wasn’t he 8. So he’ll be 7.8?

How about Kenneth Bjerre

1999. Loram Havvy Richardson Nicholls.

Should reach the play-offs with an eight man team........

SEE that Doyle has scored again for Swindon. No rest for the poor lad. Won't be long before he's back on his speedway bike

Steve your going to get use to team from last year plus broc. But I really do think they will be in the playoffs, and a surprise or two when the seasons running??

Ricky Wallace, Niklas Porsing, Joachim Kugelmann, Simon Lambert

I know I was just trying to prove DiCk2 wrong and forgot what section I was in!!

They all come in on 5 like they did with Bham last year. Birkemose not coming UK. Cant do it with School.

Could be, he might turn up at the xmas party dressed as a cracker.

Unless john jackson is coming out of retirement

He’s being sarcastic on behalf of our friend Dandelion who actually thinks some of these riders are achievable

Rene Bach (7.19 CL in 2018, converts to 4.49) He would be a very good reserve.

Lindgren has hardly got a busy schedule, at the moment he's only committed to Gp's and Poland

Top flight racing on a Saturday night, did pull in very good crowds at Rye. A lot of those were not present when the Rockets were in the middle tier. The crowds had really dropped off during Len's last season at Hoddesdon. 'Big' names can still attract the fans, if the race night is favourable.

Not if you widen the bends at the end of the new straight.

If we do it’s a totally uninspiring line up because when the big heats come up we will get done over because we have no-big hitters

How is it missing the point? Belle Vue had Fricke, Kings Lynn had Lambert and both teams failed to make the play offs. A strange world if ‘having ambition’ means you sign a true number one and then fail to make the play offs. Ambition to make the play off and Final? Ipswich delivered. We don’t know if Ipswich have or haven’t landed a number one yet anyway.

In truth there is no argument. Todd is better at Sheffield than Auty, as proven by stats. Only someone who has no knowledge of the CL would argue different.

I can remember Terry riding in the 1989 Briggo German legends meeting and in one ride giving Penhall a real race .He still looked quick and smooth a great rider and a great embassador for our sport.

Remember Ipswich speedway is a stand alone business. It’s not a tax avoidance toy like some teams maybe. if the figures don’t stack up at the end of the season it will not continue. of course I want a winning team but not at all costs. Because once gone it’s difficult to get back. Rye house lakeside and Workington etc

Worzel = Somerset, nowhere near Norfolk or Suffolk. And very different dialects.

Yes, I can think of a few. Chris Harris in particular springs to mind, he is always prepared ready to take a booking at the drop of a hat if it’s possible to get there in time. He’s a professional rider working in a professional way.

Remember Tom Leadbitter also competing on the TV in those days. The days of 'Grandstand' and 'World of Sport'.

I see it now on the website.I didn't disbelieve you as i know you are trustworthy and must have seen it somewhre to put it on here. Well it's a big welcome back to Robert,that put's to bed some of the rumours from some that thought he wouldn't do th UK this coming season.

I watch a lot of 'old league Speedway' on YouTube, mainly from the eighties, and a hell of a lot of it is pretty garbage to be honest. Even allowing for the one camera, independent, straight to video coverage of the time.. The main differences to today when it's garbage is that back then the crowds were bigger so the atmosphere was there, and riders were mainly part time and hadn't spent fortunes on machinery to take part, so didn't expect/need big money to compete.. Nowadays you get pretty mediocre racing, interspersed with the odd great race.. Just the same as happened back then.. Definitely worth watching a few YouTube League meetings from the eighties and nineties if you have an hour to kill.. Pretty poor fair in the main and definitely not too dissimilar to what we get today at most tracks..

A very good scrambler (as it was in those days). Used to watch him when scrambling was a feature on Saturday afternoon TV. Dave Bickers, Jeff Smith, then they brought Torsten Holman and Rolf Tiblin (names if I remember right). Great stuff. Another good in bites the dust.

Sportowefakty reported earlier today that Ekstraliga fixtures will be released next Wednesday, 11th December.

Interesting Rebel1...Your Speedway history is very similar to my own...Although I did not start at Rayleigh...West Ham, Lakeside and now Kent. It will be interesting to see if our view of current Speedway is similar. I think the signing of Scott Nicholls was a master stroke.

Nice look back to the fantastic 1976 comets in the "ss" this week , steve lawson shows a true gentleman he is saying how much pride he has in both his sons.
