  1. At the rate speedway is going no point in a starts of tomorrow speedway will have finished within 5 years unless someone comes up with something great to fix it & I don't mean the BSPA
  2. Its just another nail in the coffin of UK speedway. I've been a supporter for 28 years all be it a very part time one for the last few years mind.......and over the last 25 years I would say I have just seen the sport become nothing more than a joke & its like watching a very slow painful death. The first 3 or 4 seasons 89-92 were in the main good years I think. Bring back the old style 1980's NL & Mr Stewksbury to run it.
  3. Looks very much like the BSPA had approved the change otherwise why would you tell riders that they were being dropped? Then the BSPA did a u turn after it was pointed out the change was illegal. Both the BSPA & Ipswich look like clowns. Hats of to Connor in the way he has conducted himself in public. My main concern now is how this will effect us signing riders for next season & the chances of Connor coming back as he & Hume should both be dead certs. It would be interesting to know who was coming can rule Gino out after the comments Louis made last week about not enough time to complete the paperwork for him? Or was that a smoke screen & Gino & another certain young yank were both coming in?
  4. Any chance of Nico replacing Justin if he is fit this season or giving Gino a go? Only asking as Justin seems to have few fans & his performances have been below par.
  5. What did you make of the report in the Ipswich Star today regarding Gino Manzares? Seems he is up for a return to Foxhall. Who would welcome him back? I would like to see him given another shot.
  6. How would Ippo feel about having Heeps in the same team as Tungate? May not do young Heeps any favours.
  7. Hi didn't see anything started for this match so lets have some thoughts? So far Ipswich seem to be a class act at home but disappointing away from home. The injury to Nico is gonna hurt us I think.
  8. Was the track dreadful?? BWD Proved that it wasn't shame he ain't at Ipswich Their has been a lot of comments this year on a lot of threads about the preparation and dirt on tracks and them being prepared for racing as opposed to processions after the first bend, your track was dreadful last although admittedly your team rode it a lot better than mine. Can I ask are there any riders or officials on here who were at Ipswich last night who would agree with the above that the Foxhall Track was Dreadful last night? The only thing in my eyes that was dreadful was the Panthers apart from BWD
  9. First off I would like to say that I hope that the Riders who were hurt last night are fit & well soon. A few things stood out for me last night. Firstly the battling display from Mr Heeps and in Danyon Hume & Bradley Wilson Dean I think we saw two of the best prospects in the sport at the moment. The real shocker was the total lack of effort from Simon Lambert it may not be your type of track but to just free wheel around at the back is totally unacceptable. A public apology on Monday at the showground & via social media is the least that he can do. Maybe the Witches should have rode off a 15 meter handicap all night you might have seen some passing then........the Panthers apart from BWD & to a lesser extent Holder were shocking! It takes to teams to race!
  10. Hi First off sorry I'm sure this has been asked & covered many times however I will ask the question. My first season of watching speedway was 1989 so I missed the golden years of the early 1980's. However being off work for a few weeks I have found some of the racing from the late 1970's & early to mid 1980's interesting to watch. One of the big things that struck me was the amount of movement at the starts this I think seems to add something to proceedings. However the question is having just watched the complete 1981 World Final from Wembley how did the sport in the Uk go from 93500 people packed into Wembley to its present state?
  11. Maybe Ellis could have been missing too many meetings and its nothing more than that? Could Louis make a come back on a 3pt as number 7?
  12. Its going to be guest vice chairman next season unless someone complains then it will have to be vice chairman replacement!
  13. Tungate has improved every year has he found his level unsure has King found his level I think he has & why is everyone so sure he will be the big hitting number one a sub 9 ave would suggest maybe he won't
  14. Honest answer is I don't know. I don't think come the end of next season that there will be much between Tungate & King so I think I would go with Tungate & use the extra left to have a stronger tail. I think we should hold on to Manzares Heeps & Worrell . I think a new up & coming rider like Max Ruml or the German Michael Haertel would be a good shout.
  15. Still not sure about all the hype about King.
  16. But what team do we have if the EL & PL join up?
  17. I'm not sure where all the fuss about Danny King comes from. I think I would stick with Tungate over King & I think Rohan has improvement left in him & King is at his level & could easily see his average drop. Other than that Gino & Cam have got to stay I'd go for Rohan Richie W Gino Cam & Ruml as a top 5 but not sure what that would leave from the bottom end.
  18. What direction shall they go after tonight's farce!
  19. Well tonight was almost my first trip to Foxhall for a long while I'm now glad I stayed at home!!!
  20. Well as we have one Yank I'm gonna throw in Max Ruml for a ride!
  21. What's wrong with a squad system you have it already or to give it the correct name guest system.
