  1. Without either a true No1 and a No5, they need five No3's.... Good luck with finding four more of them to add to Lidsey....
  2. I would review your own teams' performance tonight first to be honest... Apart from Danny King (not a gating tart and top scored by a long way), the rest are and they got whooped!!!!
  3. Best of luck to both the lads who had to withdraw from the meeting.... No "hype", it appears, around these two, who seem to be going under the radar somewhat, and are making very steady progress indeed... Hope both are back soon with no lasting issues..
  4. I think it is in the regs now that they have to if TV evidence is available... Seemingly they can even use WhatsApp video from the fans of the team whose rider gets excluded so they can change their minds and exclude the other teams' rider....
  5. Ahhhh... The old educational way of getting your message across using the medium of a clenched fist......
  6. I agree if was an established track... However, as only the second meeting the staff will still be finding their feet, in the Speedway Star they said those on the entrance gate were still getting trained up to an hour before letting people in last week... And as some punters tonight will no doubt be new you want to try and not pee them off by missing out on the racing... Maybe a 7.45 start time would be better for this season?
  7. Was Phil Morris the only one in UK Speedway leadership team with a watch? And now he doesn't appear to be involved no one knows what the time is?
  8. They are supposed to use the TV coverage if it is there...
  9. Condolences to you and your family, mate... Always enjoyed your Dads' contributions.... All the best....
  10. Surprised PTA hasn't mentioned it yet.... "Needless to say, I had the last laugh" - Alan Partridge. Bouncing Back..
  11. Patryk Dudek not too impressed with Phil's track preparation, in the Speedway Star.. "We spoke to Phil Morris before the event to make sure he was careful about watering. The track is so loose and the hosts added some shale to it. It was a complete disaster. We fought throughout the race to get Phil to stop watering. When he finally did, the track was safer and the final races were actually enjoyable. We were flagging up the issues but we don't have the power to make a difference".. Not just us watching then that have the same opinion..?.. A good article from Peter Oakes too, re Northampton and the NKI coverage issue... He certainly has become more challenging of those in charge more recently, (in a constructive way).... He must come on here....
  12. Their track is now "shocking" when once it suited "proper Speedway riders, not throttle jockeys".... Good to see Will Cairns' score last night, there does seem to be a bit of a "pile on" for the kid, now and again, from some, for some reason... As with all the young UK lads, just let them develop and see where they end up... The sport is desperate for more supply than demand so if these lads only reach tier two second string status they are playing their part....
  13. The FIM pretty much let all disciplines market themselves, and don't have much involvement in the day to day running of each discipline... The FIA do a similar job in car racing... Give the event their official licence, then sit back, and count the money paid in to them...
  14. I thought so to, and also thought it would be a great idea... World No2, pretty much guaranteed to hit you 12 and over at home, so would "protect" races, thus keeping the score close at worst, and do it from the back if needed... A "new hero", for the kids in particular, to latch onto... I thought, given it was a "collective", who made it clear how important it was to launch a sixth team, that they would have sorted them out a very competitive team.. They seem to have settled on two number 3's, three second strings, and two reserves...
