To accuse a rider of 'not trying his hardest' is a very strong one to make (especially if you weren't there). Perhaps you should have said "done better." ?
-
It's baffling me too!! According to the BSPA site he's still on a 3.00 in July!!! I'll ask George tomorrow and find out (unless someone knows before then and puts it on here!!).

Rebels V Diamonds Fri 28th June
StevePark replied to rustyre bel1's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
We were awful, in general, last night. Great race between Tully and Doyle, good debut from Schrammy, Lewi and Christian doing what they ought to, but others were disappointing last night. Ludde, I believe, is burnt out by riding here, there and everywhere and it's showing (could be wrong, of course). A chance to 'bounce back' on Sunday against Rye, where we MUST pick up all 3 points. Best wishes to Kyle, although I'm pleased to say he has posted on Facebook he might be back next week. Also Alex Davies is one lucky lad. Glad he escaped any serious injury (or indeed worse). -
Argh! Right! Misunderstood! Don't really follow the EL, so don't really know who rides for who! Only follow the Diamonds riders when they ride in it!
-
So what is the situatiion regarding, say, Newcastle? Richie Worrall, Stu Robson and Ludvig Lindgren are all riding in the EL! As far as the Steady situation is concerned (Get well soon), as has already been pointed out, they can go with guests for the rest of the season if they want, but bringing in guests every week can be costly, for a start, and isn't the ideal situation (according to many of those who've had to do it in the past), so perhaps a new number 1 may be the way to go. Who that will be is anyones guess. Ricky Ashworth seems the obvious choice (although I've no idea how fit/close to fit he is), if he's not going to go back into the Berwick line-up, but would he want to go back to Owlerton?

League Cup Semi Finals?
StevePark replied to dontforgetthefueltapsbruv's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
It is confusing! On the fixture list on the right hand side of the main page, it has it as a PL fixture. BUT, in the Fixtures 'drop down' at the top of the page, if you select July 2013, it has it as the PLC - SF!!! -
How many fans were there? 10% of the usual Thursday attendance? 20%, 30% 100%????? Not only did they voted for me to pay a "Donation" (for the two or three times I might have gone to the STMP for the rest of the season), but also for the Bears fans who weren't (for whatever reason) there. Was the fact they were going to have a fans vote announced before the meeting? If not, perhaps, a few more fans might have been there to vote against the idea. They certainly have a chance to vote against it for the rest of the season, as Yearbyred has already hinted at. I still believe there are better ways of raising the money.

Effectively they don't. To guest as an NL rider, he can't have a PL ave above 3.00. So the likes of Steve Boxall, Jon Armstrong and the like are not allowed. Looking forward to this one, and hopefully the long drive down will be worth it (It's further than Ipswich and look what happened there!!). -
That was kind of my point. Newcastle are due down there in July (25th I think), and, to be honest, I might have to consider whether I come down for it, or not, simply on principle. I, personally, wouldn't have minded if, say, there was a 'Fence Fund' bucket as you walked in, then you could decide for yourself if you wanted to donate. Having to donate (and before anyone says it, I know it hits the home fans more), to me, isn't the way to go about it.
-
I like the way they are calling it 'a donation.' I always thought that 'a donation,' was optional.
-
That's one way of looking at it. Another way is, making the massive step up to PL, he had to spend a large amount on equipment and, possibly, can't afford to ride soley in the NL.
-
Are you completely mad? OK, to suggest having Royno at Scunthorpe, but to want to ditch one of the best PL riders, I think you must be off you trolley!

Newcastle V Edinburgh (plkoc) 16/6/13 @ 6.30pm
StevePark replied to Mr Blobby's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
In other words, the ref had a shocker for both teams. It's just that his decisions seem to have more of an adverse effect on Newcastle than it did Edinburgh. To my mind they cost Newcastle a 3 point "swing." As far as sour grapes are concerned (not you Mike, but other posts above), no, not at all (not from me anyway). Had the Diamonds gone through, I would still say the ref had a 'mare, as, as I have said, even Monarchs fans stood by me agreed. There were even Glasgow fans nearby, who also thought he made some incorrect decisions. But, as also has been pointed out, it depends where you are viewing the action from. Well done to the Monarchs in getting through and good luck for the rest of the KOC campaign. -

Perhaps "dodgy" is the wrong word..... How about "wrong" or "bad" or "bloody awful" (that's two words!). And yes, I was there on Friday. These aren't just my opinions, but the same opinion as the Edinburgh supporters standing near us on the third bend. -

8 day rule? Or is it because it's in a different competition? -
