  1. Dan is definitely a big upgrade on Jones around Shielfield and is in superb form this season seems to have moved up a level .
  2. I don’t regard Flint as a stylish rider with fantastic bike skills .He is fast when in front and can pick where he rides on the track.
  3. Flint is really a bit of a gater if you take in his career.He doesn’t generate excitement with rides from the back very often.Just my opinion.Still young but is not really kicking on.Doing to much IMO it’s all about making money.
  4. To many excuses about weather effecting track prep just prepare the track as normal if the weather intervened so be it .Basically majority of riders want slick .
  5. Perhaps if someone explain how they really are used would help.They have been used in other bike sports without any controversy for many years.Are speedway using a different system?
  6. Would agree the level of racing is always great,it is a brilliant track now.As a neutral it’s is worth the admission money alone.
  7. He has been a pale shadow the last few seasons,signed because of his low average,but they very seldom lie in the case of older riders IMO.
  8. Difficult to predict with that Berwick Team just now.Inconsistent from some riders.
  9. Would agree ,he is the most progressive of the young Brits and improving all the time.Feel trying to ride everywhere has a detrimental effect on these youngsters as they are probably not as organised as the main men and they suffer burn out towards the end of season.wish him well.
  10. Perhaps if he had been more careful he wouldn’t have a ban.He’s been around long enough to know the rules.Wonder why he did not declare the medication he was on.It might have made a difference to how it is being handled.
  11. Don’t think his case has been heard yet.
  12. Think running 3 Teams was not really a good thing regarding crowd levels.Its pretty obvious that not a lot of fans can afford 2 meetings most weeks.
  13. Pawlicki was in good form in Poland yesterday.You have to question their commitment over here.Pocket money.
  14. Wayne Brown at Berwick spent most of his 1st three seasons at reserve averaging under 4. Then one night he beat the Owen Brothers in Pairs at Berwick and suddenly became a Top Man the next week and never looked back.Had a great career at Berwick and then had one season in big league then went home to help with the family business.Unfortunately was killed in a work related incident soon afterwards.A great little guy sadly missed.
  15. Dont think it justifies criticism of their fixture selection.They shown the same number from each Club over the season (if possible).plus if you have subscribed for the the price and quality of the Production is a bargain.Nobody can predict what happens in aSpeedway match.That Plymouth Team proves my point.
  16. Jonus is Ok on a dry slick track and he gates,apart from that not sure he is really interested over here.
  17. Do we really need all this personal crap.Better talking about speedway.
  18. That was Gutsy ride by Lawson to win the match for Poole.At least he could trust Rory to give him a fair race.
  19. Taking into account the “good” and “Bad “ gates if the track wasn’t super slick there would be more entertainment.Riding the “bags” seems to a reference these days ,is not for everybody.
  20. Think your getting mixed up.Think they are talking about Darcy Ward from years ago.In reference to Tate.
  21. It was also in the Edinburgh programme that Alan Dick phoned the Edinburgh ProMotion earlier in the day to warn them about the problems on M6 and let their riders know if any were travelling that way.So perhaps there was Co-operation between Promotions given the circumstances.
