  1. They have been lucky that Pickering has been very good or they would be in right trouble.Clegg is very inconsistent.
  2. That's a good Sheffield Team and Gravesen could be the trump card at reserve.
  3. We already have " triplingdown" with the likes of Dan Bewley and Jack Smith.
  4. Not many Teams arrive at Edinburgh with their own No 1 this season.Its a joke .
  5. Your right,I have seen matches in Poland where a rider has been impeded but doesn't fall and the rider causing the trouble excluded.Here you have to hit the deck before the ref will exclude.
  6. Can the rule"in the best interest of the sport" not be applied in this case .
  7. Was he issued with a certificate or just told to go to hospital to have it checked out! It was fine the next day.Dont know what the situation is regarding being stood down from a meeting.Its all history now!!
  8. He would have accepted it because he was working his ticket and at a guess had something lined up.!
  9. Agree,but was talking in general not any specific rider.
  10. Thats speedway though,behind the scenes is very rarely discussed if something is going on ,at most clubs.
  11. Wouldnt mind him at Berwick for the rest of season in place of our current missing reserve.
  12. What about his performance at Liecester was his"injury " playing up again!
  13. True,but he maybe should have just poodled round at the back and let Buster sack him earlier,he would not have had a ban either.
  14. Not in GB ,maybe abroad though.If the Visa was An issue( don't know if it is) he should have taken that into consideration before he refused to ride.Silly Boy.
  15. The riders are dictating everything,tracks, weather, what team and country they want ride for on that day.Fans are fed up with and are deserting in droves.Promoters have to stop paying them money they can't afford. NL seems to be a good product but even they are going the same way paying over the odds and R/r and guests.When the original 2nd division started teams had to find juniors is looking for riders and it produced some good riders.
  16. We need to get back to 1 rider 1 team ,only riders that want to ride in Uk.The sport will drop a level ,but in a few seasons should be on the way up again,there is a lot of new young riders about and given the chance we will unearth new talent,any rider who can't make it pay should just retire and find weekly employment.Im sure they will realise they were making decent money out of the sport.Fixtures should be able to be fulfilled much easier and fans will see regular speedway again.
  17. How many Teams have come to Armadale with their own 1-7 this season.Not many !!
  18. Needs to be stiffer rules regarding re arranged fixtures or Points awarded.Proof that this doubling up/ down lark has killed the sport.High summer and hardly any weekly speedway at a lot of tracks.
  19. Thats getting to be the majority in British Speedway now though!
  20. Agree 100% regarding the riders.
  21. Like you say too grippy for SOME RIDERS not all.Poor attitude from SOME RIDERS not all.
  22. Can't blame Buster they were piss#hg him about .
  23. Agree,it's speedway racing ,they control the bike the throttle works both ways.Buster says the first 4 races were won in 58 secs so the track was rideable .Too many complaints from riders nowadays ,they really should considering other lines of work.Other forms of bike racing don't seem to have attitude to adverse conditions they make the nessessary changes and get on with it.
  24. They wouldn't apply for the supermarket job though, unless the were just wanting some extra pocket money .
