  1. Ooooooooh Controversial... He did start though so fair enough..... Lucky for Peterborough... Name on the trophy?
  2. Has anyone got an old black and white helmet cover in their kit bag? Might be worth a try to see if you could get away with it.... Although Mark might have brought one....
  3. Brilliant from the young lad again.. Some real prospects knocking about...
  4. Lemon does know that only the reserves can replace each other tonight doesnt he? Getting their rides "out of the way" wont allow any tactical ride to replace either of them.. Why choose to run two reserve races?
  5. To be honest, taking the pee.. So many seem to moan about Dan and his lack of team riding.. Its usually because the others are too far behind him..
  6. 100% agree... Win the race and expect your team mate to do his bit by beating his level of opponent.. The 'Polish Way'...
  7. Great ride from Etheridge.. Brilliantly shepherded home by Dan...
  8. Couldn't the Aces have had him for Kurtz? If so.... Doh!!! If nothing else just to stop Peterborough getting him...
  9. The last match of the season.. Cant see he/she realising this or they already would have..
  10. Correct... 2nd half race too... Over 300 stitches in his leg just before the World Final in Sweden that weekend.. Track wet though and he was lifted on and off the bike as couldn't put any pressure on the leg... Came 2nd to Ivan...
  11. Best of luck to both teams, hopefully a safe night for all the riders too, and that we get to watch a Second Leg that goes a fair way in matching the First...
  12. We will have "guest ads" next week... And AR when one doesnt pop up due to an IT issue......
  13. If Lambert doesnt do well... "We should have picked Bewley"... For all the plausible reasons we have listed.. If we had picked Bewley and he hadn't done well.. "We should have picked Lambert".. For all the other plausible reasons for doing so listed... A very close call with, for me, Lambert still slightly ahead of Bewley...
  14. You hope it's a zero without a One in front of it... Always makes for good TV when Cookie rides well...
  15. Let's hope Cookie has a good night.. Always been a favourite of mine so would be great to see him do well..
  16. Reading the interview with Discovery's CEO in this weeks Speedway Star (very informative it was too), they have signed up some GP's "free to air live"... In the markets aiming to be developed it was said, some of which have had GP"s for a long time but never shown without subscription, therefore restricting the sports growth in those nations was the thought process.. However, Cardiff for example was one that hadn't been signed up to that agreement, although it was mentioned that this didnt mean it couldn't still happen.. The plans, given the enormous size of their operations globally, and the reach they have, are really exciting for the sport globally if they come to fruition.. One sobering thought was that this man lived in the UK for four years, leading a motorsports TV company, yet admitted he had never heard of Speedway till he went to a GP in Poland on a fact finding mission. Due to it being considered as something that Discovery should be looking at to add to its stable..
  17. Seems barmy why they can't... I get it no 'dispensation' allowed for teams in sports where The Final means something from a large positive financial point of view, and was going to be watched by millions which brought massive publicity for the teams and sport, or meant one team moving up a division to a higher, more lucrative level... But unfortunately for Speedway it means none of the above... Therefore just follow the rules set down which are used every single week of the season and have a close entertaining 2nd Leg .
  18. I would be VERY surprised if he does... Not in his make up I would say...
