NKI is different mustard at the Showground, not many would beat him there ...

Holder NKI Zagar Woofy - whoever's it is will do just fine

Personally I hope Ipswich sign Chris Holder. Still a very capable rider especially in this league, and it would be good for British Speedway to have another ex world champ riding here again. He remains a name that supporters will turn up to see.

Newcastle have applied to race in the NL Trophy competition in 2020. http://www.newcastlediamonds.co/home.asp

Missing the bit about the money that 'seems to have evaporated into thin air'. It you must try to be sarcastic and make a point to someone, try bravely to make it to the person or persons concerned. Instead of trying your usual pathetic attempt to have a go from sitting at your computer. What did Worky do to deserve you as a 'supporter'.

Wont see a better 1-7 than ours. Out and out No.1, Engine room full of Heat Leaders, Tungate who's a proven No.1 at the Showground & a guaranteed power scoring reserve all season long. 5 Heat Leaders, 1 Second String and 1 reserve.

Mr Godfrey will re-imburse any parking fines incurred. Official announcement any day now.....

Never a dull moment when Roman was about. RIP

Neil Street was the eyes and ears in those days.

What a complete moron you are!

Dad’s army. Imagine being a fake pboro fan & claiming you’ll win the league!

Including Basse Hveem, Dan Forsberg , Olle Nygren, Peter Craven, Barry Briggs, Ronnie Moore and Neil Street Olle Nygren seems to have won a Victor Ludorum type race with Briggo finishing second. Not great quality, but worth a look https://tv.nrk.no/serie/filmavisen/1955/FMAA55004355/avspiller

I saw Roman racing on ice. It took a while but once he learned to turn left there were a lot of relieved opponents.

Think Kennedy was a bit miffed he was not asked back in 2020 after a promising first season, BUT they did move up and with the points conv Champ to Prem they went for the more experienced rider in Kurtz who comes in low with his GSA after the conv. If you look at that video where he overtook both Wells & Pickering at Sheffield and factor in the club must have seen something to make him rider of the season despite only a 4 point first season GSA - The fact he is only 21, I am surprised another team didn't go for him. Could develop like Jordan Stewart or may be anything going forward. Throw him in the reserve slot and consider how he would do against the other reserves named for 2020. If you look at the 2020 Champ teams reserves on the SGP site I think he would beat most if not all of them in most meeting. There are a lot of young inexperienced reserves in their and some not so young, so a rider of his ability could score well and boost confidence going forward. Bearing in mind he also only came over part way thru last season and finished as No. 2 in the side. Just my opinion of course.

People getting carried away with the Mr Ped signing. He might yet prove to be a turkey.

He might of been an entertainer and box office but what he done to Glasgow’s Robert Nagy one night was a disgrace

RIP Roman Matousek Concur with the comments about him being a strong lad - recall it being said he had the strongest forearms in Speedway at the time and you certainly not want to arm wrestle him !! An entertainer for certain - never a dull moment when Roman was on track - not sure his own teammates were entirely comfortable riding with him ? lol I see to remember him as being essentially a 5-6 point rider who showed glimpses of better talent on occasion - recall one meeting at Coventry where he was a reserve and took 4 rides on the trot against some team - the first three races won in blistering form and the fourth he was leading until the Bike went bang big-time - never the same rider after that as believe it was a catastrophic and expensive bike loss. 55 Years of age too young for anyone to pass away - thoughts are with his family.

THE BSPA have their best man on it...

You can watch it on YouTube but the scrap he had with Sean Wilson at Sheffield is one of my most memorable nights at Speedway, taking his protective gear off while pointing at Sean as he made his way back to the pits... pure theatre or box office as they say these days. I don't think we ever really saw the best of him in this country, seemed to come and go... but when he was on a fast bike was a match for the best

Good to have Nico back - always value to watch Consistent home and away so gives some stability and will still be capable if he moves up into the 1-5

And expect the next 1 to be tungate as soon as auz champs are over they’ll be biging it up .its so predictable and boring .it says what is exactly with speedway . string the fans along when you can virtually write the non story yourself

God what a massive shock , a real racer and a great character RIP Roman. It makes you put thing's into perspective we should all cherish life and try to make everyday worthwhile.

Great entertainer. RIP Roman

Good luck with finding a new home, be great to see Reading, Oxford and Swindon doing battle again

Hopefully late again. Can't see why people want to be standing there in mid March when it's freezing cold and then have loads of blank weeks in the summer.

How is Mr Ed these days

Opinions and ars*holes and all that. If you were impressed with Iversen, good for you.

or Pickering

was not having a go at anyone , past or present . just saying at one time a person raised enough funds to install video on the site to help protect it from that kind of stuff . it never was installed . as for workington having me as a supporter for all those years . i turned up every week since the speedway returned and paid my money to all the promotions that ran it .. pity some speedway fans dont do that . enjoy the rest of your day .

Jensen came in at reserve and put 3 points on his average, sounds like a pretty strong reserve to me

Torun have done Tobi a favour. Tobi exits the Robins on a high note instead of being apart of the 2020 side that will lose all of the silverware they won in 2019.

When I say reserves. I mean Shanes and co at the start of the season. Zach quit because he couldn't handle the job in hand. Shanes got sacked because he was crap. Jensen came in and Robins were allowed to strengthen the reserve positions with two Championship Heat Leaders.

So, strong reserves all year round is the key, but we won the league with reserves that couldn't hack it? Perfect sense

In the aftermatch of the 1934 US national championship, the dethroned champ, Wilbur Lamoreaux was upset that new champ, Cordy Milne used what he called a 'trick machine'. It seems Cordy's frame was shorter than the standard frame which according to Lammy gave him an unfair advantage on the turns. The promoter of Emeryville Speedway got wind of this and held a series of conferences to match them up at his track. Through Lammy's manager he heard Wilbur would agree as long as Cordy used a standard bike. It was then that AMA president Hap Alzina stepped in to threaten Cordy with a lifetime ban from all tracks if he didn't agree. In the end Milne had no choice, but requested the track be specially prepared so he could ride 'full throttle'. He then sent a telegram stating he would bring both his short bike and a standard one and said 'understood race to decide best man.Why not trade machines? Will beat him anyway' When told of this Lammy replied 'All I want is a chance to meet him again on even terms.Let me at him'. The race was to be over two laps and a huge cash prize was waiting for the winner to settle the argument. In the end Milne proved yet again he was the better man at that time and not only won the revenge race, but also beat Lammy in the scratch race final that night

Wright rode for Birmingham in the past so actually smart arse, he does have something to do with Birmingham. Have you recently been installed as a mod on here ?

We want a number 1 which allays a few fears. The above team could go either way as there's a lot of riders in the twilight of their careers in that side, I still wouldn't sign Ostergaard as we can do better with 4.81 available and would like to see a younger rider come in.

Without a number 1 Panthers likely to struggle as they did last season

From what I remember of the Nagy incident, tempers were running high from a previous coming together earlier in the meeting. For some reason they were both put into a race that I’m sure they shouldn’t have been in (although it was a long time ago, so I could be wrong) - neither rider gave any quarter on the run to the first bend and the resultant accident was horrific

Good signing on that average.

As strong as an ox.. And as mad as a box of frogs... Fear less and Box office... RIP Roman..

So Andersen or Tungate tomorrow

Kevin Doolan on standby should Jye Etheridge not be fit for the start of the season?

As always Panthers bosses anxious to keep fans up to speed every step of the way

Mr high and mighty get a sense of humour .I notice you like to talk down to people alot .

A very young age to pass. I remember the impact he made at Ipswich when he came in late season in 1986! Good servant to Coventry and Sheffield! 1989 World Final at Munich when he found a very fast line by sticking his front wheel over the inside line creating a tremendous amount of grip in a Scalextric rail like way! 1991 or 92 Fours final at Peterborough when 3 riders crashed down the back straight in front of him and he then tried to jump over them. The subsequent interview on Anglia TV when he was upset by fans who claimed he was an "idiot" and his "I think the riders are going a bit crazy today!" statement was classic stuff!

Don't like your humour in the last sentence. If you have a problem take it up direct. With the Break-in, I believe the toe rags stole a generator , all the blowers, a couple of bikes and set fire to the contents of a container. Those wishing to help the new owners, can join and contribute to a JustGiving page that has the figure required as £500.

It’s a great shape of track but with too Narrow straights which makes the corner entries Really tight but If they banked All the corners a bit more And got rid of the negative cambers which means you can race into the bends a lot faster Without fear and probably create a lot more racing lines

Doesn't matter.... it's not our choice to who rides and when they offically announced is it? We won't know that "Rider A" or "Rider B" fitted perfectly into the points limit but "A" wanted £300 a point and £2000 start money. Whereas "B" will never ride for the club again after past issues. We won't know that "Rider C" could only do half a season We won't know that "Rider D" has a lower average but fits into the team as is well liked by the club and gets on well with his team mates. What we will know is that 7 riders have eventually been selected to be a 2020 Witch for the right reasons for the club.

Masters will know exactly where he stands. He will be back at Wolves or already have a team place elsewhere. Guaranteed.

Here is a list of riders and mechanics etc returning to the US from Mexico. 1st-11th April 1933 Cordy Milne, Wilbur Lamereaux, Mark Porter, Burton Albrecht, Jimmy Gibbs, Frank Valenta, Marcus Kelly, Tom Cox, Robert Keller, Claud Hammond, Paul Bigsby, Vern Keithly, Elwel (Bo) Lisman, Eldon (Shorty) Campbell and Ed Seward. Seward was originally fron London England and most likely the man behind the venture. Seward was the only one accompanied by his wife and child. Regards.
