  3. Someone who has averaged 2.40 away from home needs to go, even if he's ok at home. He's letting his team mates down with his attitude, as well as the fans.. No one wants a rider who gives up / can't be bothered. We have had plenty of them in the past.

  7. Exactly that, £1 a race to watch two play off hopefuls battle it out then follow that with the great entertainment that is the National League. Great value

  8. £30 for around 35 minutes actual racing would equate to around £75 to £80 to watch a football match.Don't know what level of football you could compare the standard of this to but doubt it would be the top 2 English leagues if even the next 2. It's not just the quantity you pay for it's the quality too and there is very little of that at the moment RIP Berwick speedway. Just saying

  15. Fair point although not clear that such provision appears in the local plan, but no doubt PCC would look favourably to any planning application aligned with the climate cult & Net Zero disaster. The nearest item in the plan appears to be Policy LP31: "Renewable and Low Carbon Energy Low Carbon Energy". If they didn't want Peterborough Speedway to survive at the EoES or elsewhere in the city then it'd be interesting to know who initiated LP30 "Existing Culture, Leisure, Tourism and Community Facilities" and why it was included? They'd have been well aware in 2019 of any minimal environmental impact.

  19. This really makes me laugh........... RW has out scored Basso everywhere........... yet the flak is still headed Richies way with excuse upon excuse being heaped on Basso. I think some really need to wake-up and "smell the coffee" for a change!!!

  24. Ben Cook isn't the problem, its our number 3 and 4 and the lack of a number 1 which are the major concerns. Basso clearly isnt at the level he was last season and we are suffering for it. So far this season Worrall, Iversen and Basso are the ones who are averaging under their averages. Starting Averages in brackets NKI (7.59) 6.97 to 6.29 Basso (6.81) 6.61 to 5.04 Worrall (6.15) 6.27 to 6.11 Andersen (4.93) 5.19 to 5.67 Cook (4.06) 4.06 to 4.17 Jenkins (3.00) 3.00 to 4.00 I really like Basso and don't want to see him leave but he really does need to start being the rider we saw in 2022.

  25. Allen's average can't go below 4.00. Personally I'd be surprised if Leicester dropped a rider so early in the season, unless they know he's got a place lined up elsewhere (Peterborough?)

  27. Think Danny King is doing his job. He currently has the second highest 2023 average of any English man (behind Steve Worrall, but ahead of Dan Bewley).
    2 points
  28. King's happy with R/R at 2 because he picks up an easy 3 points in heat 8 every week at home. As the 3rd heat leader you've got to be 10-12 every week with the way the side is built this season and although he done that yesterday getting beaten in heat 15 by sitting mid track letting one go round him and one go under him was criminal. And he wants to be pushing Doyley and Emil He's ridden Foxhall for years shouldn't need Emil to hold his hand the whole way round!! His best bud Hawkins should take the captaincy off him for not coming out on the victory lap, Young Joe probably isn't happy scoring 1/2 every week but he was on the victory lap parade waving to the next generation of fans

  29. I don't think it is. I used to laugh when Eastbourne used to do it! Plus no one goes near the start line at Poole in between each heat. Tractor only goes out after every 3/4 heats. So unless the invisible man is doing it, it isn't happening! Also I got a fair few likes for my 'biting' on twitter

  31. First visit this season, home by 8.00, (London), great day. Sitting in the Grandstand watching Dan, Brady, Max and the others blasting past is such a thrill, don’t take it for granted.

  32. Sums up today’s generation. Take the cash, screw the fans and bemoan that the supporters show no respect. Is it any wonder that the sport is in on its arse. The riders have no respect for the paying punter, the promoters continue to track six man teams and the seven rider side is unlikely with R/R seemingly common place and a sport that rarely can make ends meet takes the piss and yet in any other form of entertainment, the punter would walk. Not in speedway because the diehards accept what is dished up yet new punters take one look and think it is a joke and those in charge are blind to this. Why do those in charge, the promoters and the riders think they have some god given gift which demands support. The sooner all wake up and realise that they are instrumental in the decline of a once great form of entertainment, the easier it will be to rebuild but until then watch six man teams, 28 day replacements, interference from overseas leagues and riders who will never make the grade as long as the sport is run the way it is and it sums up what dire situation it faces. It needs some serious change but those in charge are as blind as those who do not want to see.

  37. Also depends on how many fans come in, Mildenhall need a competitive team to survive. While they want riders to develop, it's more important the club survives. For Berwick it's more important to develop the riders so they can go to Glasgow & Workington lol!

  41. I think its fair to say that Poole are one of the tracks that has one of the very best (SCB) track curators in speedway, along with his track helpers! He has worked wonders with the track over recent seasons! Having spoken with him, I'm sure he knows he was caught out a little last time with the early rain and didn't water much before the start and didn't expect the track to dry out as quickly as it did. As usual once the meeting has run a few heats, riders are reluctant to have the track watered as they have to change set-ups etc. I really don't understand the Plymouth 'fans' complaining about dust in the second half of the meeting as that was when Plymouth riders managed a bit of catching up (well just a bit!) I also sit in the same grandstand section as Daz1900 overlooking the startline and also confirm that the starts are not touched by them once the meeting is underway. They simple reposition the tapes and re-instate the white lane boxes - as all club start line staff do. Of course Poole's Senior Start Marshall along with track staff also lead/conduct the crowd in "Sweet Caroline" before heat 15 each week in front of the grandstand, so they probably do a little bit of stamping down on the home straight before the final race. NB. Good to see a Poole thread attracting the usual trolls/stalkers.................!! (ps. For those not travelling up from sunny Devon, the meeting will be streamed by Pirates TV)

  42. Peterborough have now been tipped off about his availability as they didn't have a scooby before

  43. Just remember guys things can change very quickly with riders not signing. He hasn't signed YET. So for now leicesters team is the same as it was at the start of the season. He may or may not sign at all. So if if a signing doesn't happen just remember to treat each other with respect. He's not a lion. He's a rider who we are interested in but il never confirm trust any source until things actually have happened. One reliable source says he signed. One reliable source will says don't be daft just a rumour. So quite frankly I don't have a scooby doo.

  44. Chapmans a parasite, he's all with what's wrong with our club and speedway in general. He's assembled 2 clubs with cheap and weak riders that nobody else wanted. All he will do is swap riders between the two clubs to look like he cares and keep fans sweet. He needs to f**k off now and never return!!

  47. Quick and steady at this level , not sure he’ll be banging in big scores in the NDL but he’ll do ok till he finds his feet. Not looking like championship level but not easy to tell on a couple of rides.
