Daniel Smith

He is. His average is currently 7.38 until Wednesday. Iversen's new average is effective immediately at 7.33. Lawson then moves to No1 from Wednesday

It kind of does if you're reliant on wildcard picks to maintain a SGP spot. I think people need to be a bit more respectful but I don't think it's unfair to say Lambert isn't good enough. I said 4/5yrs ago that Lambert will be another Chris Harris & I still won't change my mind from that. Saying all that, I'll not right him off just yet from a top 6 spot but he has to get his finger out quick, he won't get the wildcard again imo

May be the track & only the 1st set of heats, but, looking at this lot I wouldn't expect any of these to be future World Champions

Unless the leading rider did a total lockup, the rider dehind will always be excluded for a collision. I'm not seeing why folk are getting their knickers in a twist over it. Ellis at fault, end of

To which Lawson had the right to do as the leading rider. There is no rule to say 'a slower rider must allow a faster rider to pass without challenge.'

People talking about the concept being wrong because of a small turn out. I'm of the opposite view. Crowd numbers at the venue are pretty much irrelevant, similarly to how greyhound racing works today. If there were 2500+ watching via streaming @ £13, this competition has started with flying colours. 3/400 at the stadium, 1900 online etc, it's a success. No longer will promoter be to concerned by paying punters at the gate as long as there's a gradual uptick in streaming purchases

Is it true there's serious concern around the club over attendances?? Are they way down??

The point is, it's encouraging to the rest of the league that Sheffield are vulnerable. On paper they should have hit you for 50+ comfortably.

You realise Wolverhampton won, no?!?

After 2 rounds, need to scrap qualifing for 2023. Absolutely pointless & boring viewing. Just do round 1 riding order as an 'out the hat' draw then every round after that should be defined by the reverse finishing order of the previous round. 15th = 1st pick, 14th = 2nd & so on. 16th (Wildcard) just gets the remaining slot.

Didn't say he wasn't good enough, from what we know I just don't get why he's sticking to the inside & allowing rider's to go around him for fun. He doesn't change his line unless he's forced by another, doesn't push rider's to the fence etc. If he'd be a little harder when in front of others he'd have even more points. He's just to easy to ride against.

Which is?

The issue for me is we all know what type of rider Lambert is (was), but this is his 2nd GP season & he's become a kerb crawler & slow. Lambert's not a great watch to be fair to @pubichair He's seriously improved his gating but his speed & racing style is concerning me A LOT.

Talking about Robert Lambert mate

Whilst I'd agree I have concerns. The GP series is ruthless & if he doesn't make the cut-off this season I don't think he'll get a free pass again. He's concerning me because he's constantly looking for the kerb to ride round, everyone passing on the outside. He's always been a battler but he seems extremely nervous in the SGP's for some reason.

Rubbish, he's learning

Brandon Estates are being clever to be fair. They're allowing 'Save Coventry' to spend £1000's on plans etc, then purposely cause enough damage to increase 'Save Coventry's' costs. It costs Brandon Estates nothing to cause further damage as n' when. As horrible as it is, 'Save Coventry' have absolutely no chance of using Brandon. They should use all the finances they have to look for new land & start again

Brandon Estates are hell bend on housing. They clearly get to see everything the Coventry Speedway group are planning, so what better to destroy the stadium revamp? Burn it down

The issue is never to much dirt on the inside initially. The problems come from track grading bringing the dirt back to the inside, never allowing for other line. I'd bring in an interval / grading rule that tractors can't enter the track between heats 1-8 & 9-15. All intervals must be after heat 8 & only track grade allowed. Tractors should only be allowed to enter the track to water or if the referee & clerk of the course agree that the surface is a danger to riders. The amount of track grading today is so unnecessary with the (lack of) materials used compared to 20yrs ago.

Some weeks he did & if you go back through last seasons Peterborough threads there were tons of complaints about the track prep. Peterborough fans weren't blinkered because they were winning. You know full well what track prep is like at King's Lynn to understand the moans. A couple of cracking races by Pickering doesn't negate the concerns of Buster's abilities as a track man at the AFA & Showground

We'll take Palm-Toft no problem

Not only are Belle Vue breaking rule with team changes, they're now throwing their fookin averages

The Peterborough old guard gone 1 season to many??

Don't Danes only have to compete in 4 Danish league matches a season to maintain their DMU licence?

Rules don't exist. Bartosz Zmarzlik & Robert Lambert to guest, R/R for Iversen
