15.04.2022 - Scunthorpe v Leicester League
spin king junior replied to ScunnyDan's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
You've got absolutely nothing to apologise for. At the time it was a rumour and not one that was of knowledge to everyone. Sadly the rumour has been proved true and we've sadly lost one of the sports biggest supporters. -

spin king junior replied to ScunnyDan's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
There's a rumour, and until its annouced by an official that's all it is, that Nigel Pearson has passed away. And from what I can tell its all stemmed from a twitter post. So personally, I am waiting till there's official words. -

Allegedly. Don't have a go at someone for something that's not public knowledge. -
Benfund 2022
spin king junior replied to secsy1's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
Meeting got a lot better as it went on and gave the typical Peterborough racetrack. But I've gotta say it did drag a bit and there was too much filler. Absolutely appreciate these sort of meetings are more for the goodwill and hopes of rasing money for a fantastic cause, but I personally think for bringing someone who's new to the sport its a massive turn off and doesn't sell the goods of speedway. The veterans races just wasn't needed and was a huge distraction and waste of time, I really cannot get behind who this is for other than the four lads out on track. I get and understand the junior races, but at the same time it does take away from the event and for those watching would've perhaps been best to put the juniors on before or after the meeting so it didn't disjoint the main event. -

Does anyone know if you csn pay by card at Peterborough? -
NEWCASTLE DIAMONDS 2022
spin king junior replied to andys's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Was a good watch. I know it was brought up but he does need to drop some weight. 10 years off a bike and having the physique of a bodybuilder aren't great early signs. Do hope Lee has a good return to the sport though. Box office rider who always gave 110% and was fantastic round Owlerton. -
Has there been anything said about Blodorn? Just seems weird if he's not been there for p&p and there's been no reason put forward.

Berwick Bandits 2022
spin king junior replied to emilali's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
It's hardly disregarding the other 6. But yes, when you essentially sign a second string/reserve in space of what could have been a genuine heatleadler then it will have a knock on effect to the rest of 6 and creates more pressure and expectation to perform. -
Berwick Bandits 2022
spin king junior replied to emilali's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Think this season will end up being a "what could've been" for Berwick. If they'd just nailed that last signing it could've ended up being the best Bandits team in years and for me genuine title contenders. Proctor screams as a desperation signing to me and does show the lack of planning to go a near 2 points under the limit. Can only hope if its not working out with the initial side the promotion won't be shy to make a change. -

Sheffield Tigers 2022
spin king junior replied to OdsalBoy's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Think you need your head checking if you wouldn't have Ellis back next season. Was one of the very few good things about last season. I'd hope we'd be looking at bringing back Berge as well. Was a while ago now but I thought he was absolutely class round owlerton when he rode for us and I don't think we'd get much better riders on a 4.14 average. -
Thought Iversen had picked up an injury?

King's Lynn Stars 2020
spin king junior replied to Daniel Smith's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Well . Made a bit of a fool of myself there then! Certainly not first and won't be last time. -
Well, we got absolutely found out there. This team just absolutely falls apart without Holder and its only going to get worse. Batchelor is done for me, you can throw every excuse around but simply put he's not good enough and it's not fair to keep carrying him every week. Back when we was in premier league/championship if a riders had a duff meeting they're out afterwards trying to sort it out. Barchelor is the first one in his van to slip away. Unfortunately we're going to have to stick with Holder till he comes back as we're never going to get a better rider really so hopefully he's not out too long as guests just aren't doing him justice. But Batchelor, Wright and Bates (if he's out long term) all need replacing or that 4th spot I'd going to Ipswich.

King's Lynn Stars 2020
spin king junior replied to Daniel Smith's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Making a team sponsor a team manager? Are you being serious? I know this is the least of British Speedway' problems, but Jesus H Christ, it doesn't half make the sport look amateur. Where in any other sport would you see a bloody sponsor become the manager of a so called 'top level' team? -
Cat Fight. P'boro v Sheffield 28 June
spin king junior replied to Col's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
We really need to look at making a change, or 2 or 3! Wright was a strange signing and just isn't doing the job, Batchelor has just been poor through most of the season and Sedgemen has only shown a glimpse of class. Good team on paper but hasn't clicked on track. -
Berwick v Redcar Saturday 12/06/21 7pm
spin king junior replied to Normski's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Berwick have a team built that should be unbeatable at home and do naff all away. Fact they've lost twice now round Shielfield shows the team ain't working. At the very least they need to replace Garcia, is that enough to turn round their misfortunes? I'm not sure... -

Josh MacDonald signs as the last rider then. -
I rate Sedgmen above Morris, but I don't rate Wright above Morris. I could understand signing Wright if it was to accommodate a rider like Berge, someone who's going to make a massive difference in the team. But its not achieving anything like that, it seems to be just on a hope that Wright will rollback the years to what he once was. And I just can't see it happening, I bloody hope I'm proved wrong and he turns out to be a big scoop for the season for us but I do feel like Morris has been incredibly hard done by our promotion.
-
Another strange signing for me and doesn't come up with a reason why we've dropped Ash Morris really. Suppose we'll never know the true reason behind the last two signings, but I think its really let down what could've been an amazing side. Firmly put Belle Vue in the driving seat for the title this year imo.
-
I'd imagine he'll be coming in on a 3. Just don't get the signing at all, doesn't give us much more to play with if we'd signed Morris instead and our best option is probably still Ricky Wells.

James Wright it is then. What a bizzare signing...
