R/r and promote juniors,it works fine in Poland,at least they are watching their own Team,win or lose.

Surely you could have asked,there was a queue at the tickets booths when I went out.(they weren’t coming in) anothe couple off minutes wouldn’t have mattered.Like you say Dan Thompson showed the right attitude.

Granty is straight forward regular guy,he gave it a go but it didn’t work.Good luck to him in the future and hope his business sees him alright again.

Will be called early if any doubt.IMO.

You reckon.Think that was the diplomatic answer,not what he was really thinking.

On what I witnessed tonight,I feel this season’s fixtures will not be completed unless the riders change there attitude.You won’t get much better weather conditions at this time of year to start a meeting.There is no point of asking for track work to be done 1 hour before the meeting starts.A cloud in the sky will be enough to cancel.Everybody knows the cold weather makes tracks difficult and skating rinks when slick.

He didn’t ask then,he told Howarth to ask.!!!!!!!!!

Leicester match this Wed 7.30

I feel sorry for the Facenna’s and the track staff.What we witnessed was nothing short of farcical.They should had called it off before any track work.(if it was as bad as the riders thought.)

There wasn’t the slightest hint of the meeting not taking place because of wet track IMO. Even the staunchest Tigers fans must be wondering what was going on.

In Poland a rider from each Team goes out 1/2Hr before meeting starts to access track condition.Why is that not done here,or is digging you heel in the track tell you everything.Joke!! Dan Thompson made them look stupid.The other had no intention of even trying.Heard a few disgruntled regulars saying they have had enough,which is not good news.

I agree,that was farcical,Cook digging at the entrance to 3rd 4th bend during track walk.Howarth had no intention of riding from the off.Speedway is a dead duck if meetings can’t be run on that track on dry night with no chance of any more rain. Before the track grade.Why do they never just run a few bikes round to turn the dirt over instead of removing it all and making it farce.The Ref’s are scared to make a decision and listen to much to everybody.That should have either been called off before a wheel was turned or they should have just got on with it.

Money back on way out if you wanted it.!!!!

As good as any I suppose,but let’s be honest don’t think Barker and Granty are seeing eye to eye these days.Condolences to Dave Tattum’s family,he did a lot for the sport and will be sadly missed.

You couldn’t make it up.Only in Speedway.

Just the way you phrased it,thought you had given up an 8 pt lead on the night.

What 8 pt lead ?

Excellent Post.

Though he had the problem that a lot of second half riders had in these days were the tracks were always slick at the end of the meetings,but when they went into the Team in Ht2 the track was always still much grippier than they were used too,and they generally struggled.They tend to do better nowadays on the slick tracks for today’s modern engines.Remember Mike well.

He decent at Armadale at reserve and r/r for Rowe looks a good option now that you have Kemp.Finding a guest for Rowe with such a small average is a bigger gamble IMo.

He’s been around long enough now surely.Has all the gear but it’s slow going for him the last couple of seasons.Slow and Steady gets you no where in this sport.Still on a3.5 average after 3 full seasons.Jury’s our for me.Wish him well though,just my thoughts.

He is a4 star ,but his average is lower that Greaves so why not a replacement guest for Greaves.

Could you not use Bickley has has his moments at Armadale?

A bit harsh on Greaves,when your struggling losing money and having a sh#t time,riding a speedway bike can’t be much fun.

What a farce just let him ride.It’s not his fault that the Team dropped him,if he is happy to comeback and ride for them and his average fits let him ride,it better that the farcical rising star situation where Flint will be guesting for the highest bidder for the rest of the season( through no fault of his own,just through the ill thought out rules as usual)
