Nope, you're right because the coverage is exactly the same & I mean exactly. Sky showed so much commitment to Speedway they didn't even show 1 of the Play-Off semi finals last season. Sky put quite a few of their GP's on the red button which many thousand's couldn't view. Sky was in no way better or worse. Schedule's are what they are & with Speedway being a minority / specialist sport we have to accept everything we can get. We have no right to demands right now.

After Rick Frost stole money off the paying public last night in the P'boro v King's Lynn meeting by issuing a rained off Belle Vue programme for the full £3 I was wondering if this is a common theme in speedway. On Good Friday we got done with a Lakeside programme also at P'boro. I know at King's Lynn they re-issue rain off programmes with inserts but atleast they're used for the relevant teams. Is this a normal process or is it just Peterborough??

I think we'll be sticking with what we've got and just hope they all come good just in time -
Peter Johns & Gary Havelock Tweeted that Kelv talked crap & lives in the past regarding those comments though. But, I'm not sure a modern day engine tuner is likely to agree with Kelv is he as that would be a sure fire way to destroy ya own business.

Who Should Be In Gb World Cup Team?

Middlo also said on Twitter that "hos hands are tied for King's Lynn Monday". -
The only safest option I can think of is for cc to be reduced to 400cc. Riders & tuners are constantly testing for more raw speed. Time on the track ain't really any quicker but power output of the machines is. The 1000>6000rpm difference from an old motor (1990) is around 0.4 of a second faster (May not seem a great deal but that is massive). The torque is down though. The 1990 motors ran about 60bhp at 7000rpm but now it's around 10000rpm which means riders having to twist the throttle further south giving the impression on more speed but in fact they getting less & less throttle control and if the bike snaps the only option is pretty much 'get off the bike as soon as possible'. There isn't any more accidents than in previous seasons but there IS more for the higher profile & professional riders than before as they constantly keep looking for that 'raw speed'.

From my understanding, Swindon's team will only become illegal as of the 13th July. That is if Kennett turns out for Berwick and isn't replaced by Ashworth. Swindon's new 1-7 becomes effective from Monday at Belle Vue unless that becomes abandoned for what ever reason then the original side is still affective. So, no reason for any panic yet

Elitserien 2013, Round 9, Tuesday July 2nd
Daniel Smith replied to Ghostwalker's topic in International World of Speedway
Anyone know what happened to Iversen tonight. 2+1 from 3 is a very unusual score. Crash, just a bad night, ill??? He's been missing off Twitter too. Very strange -

When push comes to shove Kennett can't mix it. Major bottler. TeamGB is all about passion & hunger & that's something Bridger, Barker & Worrall have in abundance. Any of those 3 should be ahead of both Kennett & King who's similar to Kennett. -
Maybe, just maybe the BSPA took sympathy with Hans & the 2 home meeting ban is punishment to the Swindon promotion & not the rider??? Would make more sense. If Hans was to be banned it would have been the standard 20 odd days. It would also explain the deafening silence from the Swindon promotion. Just a thought!!!!!

I'm not having that Phil. The place would have been rocking regardless of who had the GB flag on their chest. You could throw Kelvin Tatum out there as Wildcard and the place would still be jumping. -

Kind of agree but Middlo (the prat) had already stated that him and Woffy guaranteed their places -

Even if averages have dropped enough to allow for equivalent points to Darcy's average I think you're still only allowed 2 riders from last season's top 20. That would mean dropping Iversen or Schlein -

Well, after tonight's showing I think Worrall & Kennett will be / should be ruled out. Sticking by my team of:- 1, Harris 2, Woffinden 3, Cook 4, Bridger -

compared to Gomolski, Gathercole is a 10 point swing in Swindon's favour -

Either way, on current form both are showing that they maybe deserve a shot. I still wouldn't pick Worrall but they're certainly making it difficult for Middlo to ignore -

We could still see them next season anyway as I jist don't see the EL surviving in it's current format. The novelty of the EL has worn off with me to be honest. In the current format the Premier League is the place to be -
King's Lynn V Stoke Koc 19/06/13
Daniel Smith replied to Bagpuss's topic in National League Speedway
That all sounds very bitter the above post. If Lambert was allowed to ride Premier League he would but being 15 National League is the only option. Regarding only being a 3 average. What else should he be?? Without a league average anywhere else a 3 is the only option available. Regarding only riding at home. He has no need to ride tracks away in the National League as that experience will come next year when he steps up to the PL in April. Everyone is just guessing he's only doing home meetings because he missed the Stoke meeting & it sounds like a bloody good job he did to by the sounds of it. -

No complaints from me at all. Awesome tonight all 7 of the riders That just brings me onto the King's Lynn riders only kidding. Tonight, I have no doubt some of the PL teams would of had a tough night against the Young Stars, they were just bang on form -
