  1. Will riders sign for a team without a Stadium on a promise that it's going to appear!!!!
  2. This might sound stupid and I am willing to take some stick on this matter,but IMO the bottom Tape should be lower down, so as the rider has to wait longer before he drops the clutch after the magnets release to get under them,that way riders definitely have to stay still.I will still be the same for every body when to drop the clutch.
  3. I think the Refs just panic if some gets a perfect start,Summers got a flier in one race IMO and was not pulled back.I though Sargeant had 1 really perfect start but the ref pulled it back.I Personaly think the number of races pulled back is joke. The start Marshal needs get get the riders nearer the tapes to stop "anticipation"IMO
  4. Agreed ,but surely the Team managers pointed this out to the Ref,but if it was Dishington I can understand why they were wasting their time as he was trained by McGregor in the "I'm the ref go away".
  5. I agree,while the Ref admitted his mistake and it should not have happened,it was highly unlikely that the 2 tigers were going to be caught they were a long way ahead after a 1 1/2 laps.Surprised the Rebels took gates 1 and 3 for the last heat decider.
  6. How many seasons has he been riding and still can't be consistent from a RESERVE berth.Thats one of the reasons GB speedway is in the state that it's is in or is he riding for peanuts over here? I doubt it.
  7. Its not a trick track it's just prepared the same EVERY week (when the weather doesn't intervene) to suit the home riders by Alan Bridget who is a master at his trade.Most other tracks are just a hit or miss regarding track prep.The Home riders know the set up before they even get on track which is an advantage.They usually grade the track every 4 heats as normal, but it is noticeably that it also get an " extra one" before Cookie comes out in Ht 10 .!!!!!! Some good races tonight.Thompson and Grondvil were poor though.
  8. Thats no way to talk about Big Ed's bottom end,although it does need fixing.!!!!
  9. I did notice,but really don't understand why the 4"s qualifiers in the South failed to attract fans compared to the North.Maybe more distance between some tracks but by the same token better road network than up North at the time.I think a 4 Team Final would be as much a success as what is being run now as the Final.Probably nothing will change though.!
  10. Berwick couldn't afford him,think we tried to get him before but demands were excessive.think he is one of a number of riders who keeps his average down so as he attractive for signing(and guesting).Either that or he is well past his best!!!
  11. The northern teams could have their own tournament,but how far South Would be the cut off point?
  12. Personaly I don't like the way the Final is run now,2 rides and you could be on your way home the riders can't be too keen IMO .A 16 heat final with 4 Teams on a neutral track would be better IMO .Redcar meeting seemed to go down well.
  13. Unfortunatly.Most fans thought they were well worth having and attracted decent attendances.
  14. Thats been tried before,but Promoters with biggest budgets always win.Even if a standard pay rate was introduced these Promoters always find a way round it with"sponsorship " it's been tried before and failed.
  15. You may fool all of the people some of the time,but you cannot fool all of the people all the time (me ,2015)
  16. That University at Swinton has a lot to answer for.What was your degree in,Bullsh#t I reckon.
  17. Sincerly hope Tigers can dispose of Rebels.Big ask though,Lawson has to perform IMO.
  18. Einstein said who the F#ck is bigeddiechek!!
