2013/2014 could mean next year too IMO.I was pointing out that it was still a going concern.

Looks double or quits on something if you want your 50p back

Speedway/grasstrack Riders In Home Counties
Fromafar replied to steve povey's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Would Luton be a local derby for Slough -
Covers are a waste of time as the riders probably won't ride anyway if the track is not perfect these days,If it has stopped raining before a meeting is due to start what is wrong with giving each rider afew laps on his own to turn over the dirt and then see if a track grading would make the meeting go ahead.Years ago at Glasgow Jimmy Beaton prepared the the same every week whether rain or shine his philosophy was if its rained off at start so be it.which IMO Is the right way.Health and Safety aspect is what it is all about these days

Let's be honest here the "fire"at Ashfield will not be the reason if the Tigers don't run next season..Hope something can be sorted out.
-
I see Rob Branford was hinting that Berwick would suit him and was disappointed he couldn't have been back this season.He would be worth a punt IMO was unlucky in his time with us.

You trying to tell us they are not even good at Crazy Golf or what.

Does it really matter if we are mid table if the entertainment and commitment of the riders is good .There is only one team can be Champions every season and lets faced nobody remembers runners-up. IMO the team on paper in recent season has not performed on the track for various reasons some bad luck but also some poor management of riders performances. It is not an easy job trying to put a speedway team together (on paper yes) that will get the right result.The management have done a good job off- track they now need to concentrate about on -tracks matters.

Edinburgh V Glasgow 'select' (sc) 11/10/13 @ 7.30pm
Fromafar replied to Mr Blobby's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Can't see a huge turnout for this one,thought Grieves would have gone out on a high at Ashfield maybe he is giving retirement second thoughts. -
While Strarke did a decent job at times, he has been riding for a few seasons and IMO that is his level.Also he is not an asset.Carr is not PL level yet but has to be given the opportunity to see what he can do.

Has Dyer fallen out with Redcar,everybody else seems to mention him barring Redcar.
-
Len keeps telling the fans that there's nothing wrong at Rye.So what is there to work out.
-
If it's not Woffy it must be Kennett
-
Good to hear,I always enjoy my visits .
-
Have the club had a good season crowd wise under the new management,they have had a successful season on the track?
-
Perhaps if more of these un's had the skill and talent to pass him he might think about retiring.Until then why should he,Mauger was a gater but the fans still turned up to see who could beat him.Box Office stuff.
-
When I said improve his gating. I was referring to him gating 1st and have the racing line on the 1st corner,gating in any other position leaves you vulnerable .Hampel and Hancock are examples of what I am talking about they win more races than they lose simply by gatingas do most of the top men.Hence the reason regarding Darcy.

Wild Cards 2014

That wouldn't be too difficult. -
Darcy is a fabulous talent but unless he brushes up his gating it will be difficult for him win Titles ,when you get to semi's you are meeting 3 riders that are on form on the night and it will be difficult to pass them all if you miss the gate as last night proved.Hancock certainly shows that gating is important.

Tai Woffinden
Fromafar replied to David Haddock's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Not his biggest fan,but has has always had a fantastic style and is a class act on the bike ,Well done and deserved World Title.maybe his mate Darcy will take leaf out of Tai's book it will increase his chances of being Champ.
