  1. That's the trouble with consortiums .
  2. Speedway riders need to take a reality check regarding money,there will soon nothing left in the kitty In most countries.IMO
  3. Desperate luck weather wise, but this situation at most clubs of unavailable riders when rearranging fixtures will have to have a better solution for next year.
  4. I saw Dan in his first match at Armadale and thought he was going to clobber the fence coming out of the first bend every lap.By the end of the meeting I was thinking it's not luck he is staying on he knows what to do when in trouble he is a fantastic talent on my opinion.He is no "hang on and open the throttle merchant".He is on his way to the top IMO.Good Luck to him.
  5. You are obviously not reading my post in the context that I meant,never mind though.
  6. The only reason he is racing in GB is for HIMSELF and money.
  7. Think it should be Grading System for the riders,averages of riders often don't reflect how good they really are with the Draft system.
  8. Dan Bewley is the find of the season like you say a true talent and cool head ,he will go far given the little bit of luck you need.
  9. Sam can give it ,out but can't take it himself,I admire a rider more who does some hard moves but doesn't go overboard when he is on the receiving end.Walsh,Fisher and Makovsky are 3 that spring to mind regarding the latter comment.
  10. Does that include putting sentences together!!
  11. What line of business is his successfull involved in.
  12. The newsletter was correct in its statement. I only asked the question due to the fact it had an article on Jake saying it would be Interesring to see him ride ,yet he was announced to ride in the Team U//21 Tournament a couple of weeks ago on Saturdays date!! thought maybe there had been a change .
  13. The newsletter states anticipated line ups! Will Jake Allen not be riding in the u/21 world final this week end?
  14. Woffy has said he is only doing what is best for him a number of times now,so let him go and get on with it ,it won't make any difference to the sport in this country.He is not exactly showing the sport in good light with his foul mouth interviews anyway.
  15. Time to move on,he is just sh*t stirring and probably having a good laugh with his mates.We won't win anything for a few years with or without him.Probably took some advice from Greg.!!!!!
  16. If you standardised the equipment they would not be able to tune their bikes to a higher standard .
  17. Considering his stature in the Sport(world champion),it is a very strange way to behave ,it does not show him or the sport in good light.Thats Social Media though.In professional sports up and coming stars are taught how to deal with the media unfortunately Speedway doesn't fall into that category thesedays.
  18. I agree with you regarding his comment about the riders ,they have always been approachable and the present set are the same.Considers he says he has hardly been back in 10years he was probably over the top with that comment.The present Promotion are doing a good job on trying to lift the standard of the basics of the sport, but I feel Technology is against them in a lot of respects.The matches I have attended this season, I feel on track entertainment is the worst I have witnessed at Shielfield.Unless there is a radicle change in machinery spec to slow the sport down along with suitability prepared track I really don't know where the sport is going.Newcomers to the sport won't be impressed with a couple of good races per night.Difficult times IMO .
  19. Honest stuff from Peter ,I'm sure his his views match a lot with fans on the terraces.There wasn't many dull moments with him around,it's in the past now though.
  20. Reserve performances go a long way towards winning the League.Its ok to say they have done their job if they beat their fellow reserves but in reality it's the other riders they beat that seals victories.1 good reserve is a must IMO
