  1. Sad news,you are correct he spent his last few years in a nursing home in Edinburgh,can still remember the White leathers but most of all was the Leg Trailing Style,R.I.P. Ken.
  2. To me he is a modern day Mauger ,so professional and gater supreme that fans don't really find him exciting but you cannot deny he is up there with the best IMO.
  3. Wouldn't disagree,but technically Douglas was averaging more than 7pts a meeting .He might have grievance as he was scoring more than 7.Like Najjer points out is irrelevant .Doesn't do much for Team spirit in coming seasons if they stick to these sort of rules regarding Bonus points IMO .Do clubs pay these bonus points?if so that is another anomaly regarding this matter.
  4. Try reading my Post correctly before giving an answer,Technically IMO Ryan Douglas could have an average of 7.13 if SS is correct.That is all I am saying.Who is to say that is not the figure that counts.Bonus Points is what my theory is based on.
  5. If you look at the Scunthorpe Review in last weeks Speedway Star you will see that Ryan Douglas had an average of 7.13 from 34 matches last season that probably includes Bonus Points which is what I was alluding too.That is the statistics I was using. Could you please give the reason , I am interested.Thanks
  6. I was thinking that the Rolling averages might not count in these circumstances as they could be over more than I season for certain riders(injuries ect).Then Doolan and Ryan Douglas would be Ok.Only my thoughts though.for instance Douglas has a7.15 average including bonus points last season but under 7 on Green sheet which does not include bonus points.
  7. Douglas has a 7pt average and State Title placing.
  8. Think "Legend" is the proper word to describe Lew.Sad news.
  9. Why everybody seems to think Jorgensen is a concern is a mystery to me .When a rider comes to a new home track it might take him a few meetings to adapt,but having seem him at other track think he will be ok.Bellego certainly flattered to deceive ,so Thomas doesn't have a lot to live up to as a replacement IMO
  10. I'm sure a few few years ago some riders filled their fuel line with water which they turned the tap on at start line and it helped reduce power out of gate and prevented too much wheel spin therefore produce a start from the gate.(might be talking rubbish but sure there was some tampering with fuel lines to help get a good gate)
  11. If Doolan starts the season running think we will hold our own, abit weak ar reserve Imo
  12. It's a Speedway Forum once again you seem to forget that fact.everyone is entitled to discuss (whether you think it is stupid or not)
  13. Thanks,that's the meeting I was referring too.I was sitting in the end stand and it happened where you described .No doubt we will get some wise crack from GLWC.Just think he bored and on a wind -up.
  14. You are obviously bored and being a bit of a D#ck as usual ,your are questioning my recollection of the event therefore show me your evidence put up or shut up is my request?
  15. Perhaps you need to look at the video,your memory is failing you.
  16. we shall agree to disagree. I made no mention regarding regarding riders going out to knock riders off in my Post.Jason was in front when he fell,so imagination is running a bit wild on that matter.
  17. It may be immaterial but you obviously talking about another incident.End off.It does not concern me how you find my post regarding this matter.
  18. please get your facts right if you reply to a Post.I was sitting in end enclosure when Jason fell on the exit out the bend and all the other 3 riders had very little room to manoeuvre hence they all came down,hence I don't take your Post seriously .Try again.
  19. Fell coming out off 4th bend at Shielfield and brought everybody down while reserve Rye House injuring Branford ,did you forget that one !!
  20. Don't you think that some posts are a bit of a wind-up or do you believe everything you read on here.!!!
  21. worth a punt IMO. Judging by what was available from tried and be there before mob.
