  1. Yip another fine example of speedway as a professional sport,you cannot take the sport seriously. I attend nowadays just hoping to see a decent meeting. as Team sport it is a laughing stock.
  2. Fair enough,like I said just my opinion,I hope he steers clear of injuries too.
  3. He still has a lot to prove though,talented but injury prone and won't be cheap I would imagine
  4. your right there he has had a poor start to the season,I Personaly think he has always been a bit of a problem at most Clubs he has been at , plus he has been unlucky with injury.Only my opinion though.
  5. Proctor isn't exactly pulling up any trees so far this season interesting switch,are Berwick going to gain or suffer for it this week in the cup matches.Knowing Berwicks luck he will probably go through the card.!!!!!!
  6. Yep thought I saw Billy the Bowser after dark on the A1 not sure who was driving.
  7. I agree they were poor.I would have Kus at 2 and Bellego at 3.IMO Kevin was out of order to "discuss "on track as he did.Bellego is so much faster than him why should he sit behind he is there to entertain and felt he could win the race.Bellego is a racer .Entertainment wise Sat was poor ,thought the track was excellent .
  8. What's the betting on a change of the pairings for next week.Kus does not look comfortable with Wethers either. Doolan should maybe have saved his tantrum till he got back to the pits ,it certainly didn't looked very nice to display it in public with TEAM MATE.Ps Give me 7 Bellego's anyday.
  9. The air fence at Berwick made no difference to the track shape I think I am correct in saying
  10. In his part season at Berwick Ludo was exactly the same except it was race to race.Dont know if he will ever be consistent enough to be a decent No1
  11. Thank f*ck for that!can't imagine the trouble you would cause on the road at your age.
  12. I can't fathom how so many mediocre foreign riders can turn up year after year if they are not earning from the sport.Just what kind of money are journeymen riders making out of the sport,and good accountant must be required.I still enjoy my speedway,but for a lot of races nowadays it's all about the gate and 1st and second bend.riders seem to settle for what they have after that.We all have different opinions regarding now and then but there is no point in looking back.It might be age thing but I can certainly give it amiss nowadays (although I seldom do) and certainly don't think the sport is in good shape in Britain.There is still a nice atmosphere at Speedway and the riders are approachable in most cases which makes it the sport it is.
  13. It's always lack of cash with you,perhaps these riders should be doing something else for a living .
  14. What you have to remember Taffy's criticisms are not considered sniping by HIM!!!! Should riders not be prepared for the start of the season instead of spending half the season sorting out their problems during the season .As far as motorcycles go speedway engines are not that complicated but are always seem to be the excuse.I know a couple of road racers who can't believe the excuses about machinery that riders come up with.
  15. I'm not sure but I don't think the averages change till end of May perhaps someone could clarify?
  16. It is difficult the pass Heat Leaders at Berwick after the 1st lap when the riders are up to speed but not impossible,plus you don't need passing to produce a good race as the u21 meeting showed last year.A bit of effort over 4laps would do me fine.
  17. Ifail to to see what difference changing position will show any significant improvement in form.In Doolans case has rode in that position for most of his Teams.Whoever moves to No1 scores might drop if this is the case so what difference does it really make,this riding to your average is a nonsense most riders are signed because the clubs think they will improve their starting average.I agree regarding Kus wins his 1st race in 65 secs then is the length of the strait behind in aHeat that has also been won in 65 secs explain why the bike is going slower,or is not fast enough Taffy.
  18. let's face it Kevin and Matej have had a slow start to the season which put pressure on Steen who really stepped last week in response .You can't expect that every week he needs support .Think we will win at home if Ludvig doesn't gate,if he does it could be tight.
  19. One can assume whatever one wants.,as you point out you shouldn't believe everything you read on this forum.
  20. Nothing to explain,your name is in the programme as the poster pointed out and your comments on forums are open to interpretation IMO.
  21. There is a time to laugh,and a time not to laugh and this is not one of them.The Pink Pixel strikes again!
