  1. Does anybody think any track will run without spectators,I don’t think they will.Scotland seems to be taking a different approach at present.Wait and see what decision they make on the Football.IMO
  2. Agree,it’s a big if in Gappmaier ‘s case though.IMO.
  3. Agree a more realistic assessment is needed,a decent career in Uk should be the big aim for most of the youngsters.World Stage is a different ball game for the majority.One of the difficulties is the drop in standard of GB speedway it’s a small stepping stone to reach the Top compared to the past.Top Brits in previous era were guaranteed rides abroad, that is not the case nowadays.
  4. She should be gone by now ,but her neck is made of Brass.Not just on the Salmon affair.She is more and more acting like a dictator.
  5. I back the young Brits 100%,trouble is the sport has nosedived in GB over the last 10-15 years and these riders have trouble getting serious sponsors nowadays and the way the sport has developed technically you need to invested fairly large sums of cash to compete at Top level.We still have situation where after a few years in the sport most youngsters settle for earning decent money in GB ( doubling up ect).These days maybe numbered given the recent Pandemic.World Class is very difficult to achieve in any Sport.
  6. It is a forum therefore it’s about opinions negative or positive.Most posters have wished them well.Let’s face young Brits over the last 20 years have not set the World alight for a variety of reasons which is what was being discussed.Young Poles ,Aussies and Danes have shown how to do it IMO.(this comparing young riders in general).
  7. It is when getting into the Top3 in a one off meeting is the other way.IMO.
  8. Robert is getting there ,he got his GP slot through a easier route though.( well deserved).he has had previous experience in GP so it will be interesting to see how he performs this year.Many Top riders have failed in the real GP qualifiers throughout the years.You need the bit of luck in this sport.
  9. That was in the days when the majority of the Top riders in the World rode in GB,it’s a very different scenario nowadays.Basically the way the to the top is getting into Poland but you have to perform from the day you arrive ,irrespective of what league and level it is.It’s going to be a long road to the top for British youngsters ,but Tai has proved it can be done if your good enough.Good Luck to them all.
  10. Sturgeon is losing plot just to be different,Best thing that could happen is Boris to announced a Sept start up and Sturgeon would probably change her timing to April
  11. It’s a very small percentage in any sport that become” World Class”.Most lifelong supporters will have seen dozens of youngsters who they though were going to be the “real deal” very few will have made it to the Top in GB never mind the World as the record books show.The current crop have adopted a more Professional approach but you still have to produce on the big stage and they are along way off that.IMO.Can only wish them all the best.
  12. Could you rearrange that comment into a well known phrase or saying.
  13. Think the troops in the “Cult “would continue their March South to take Westminster as well. torching Shielfield on the way.
  14. Nicola is doing her best for her to remain free.Big Eck has pinched her muskets.
  15. So you think it great to develop young riders,then in the next sentence you are going to have to drop them to get a higher middle order man to strengthen the Team!
  16. That team will take some beatings IMO,but good luck to them a hope they come through OK.
  17. Tracks are too slick nowadays for Handicap racing.Riders won’t even go off 15 Mtrs for a tac sub ride these days.IMO
  18. Think you have to have a rising star in your 1-7,would assume that would have to be Bailey .We shall see what develops regarding him.Bit confusing with the carry on in Aus with him.
  19. To be fair ,he has to look at his style of riding,then he might realise why he spends so much time on the injury list.
