  1. Having such a strong top four means good guests if they are absent and even RR for the top two in particular will still be a decent option..
  2. Reminds me of the rabbits pulled out of the hat by Matt Ford.. Those many foreign four point superstars of the future that he seemed to find, that effectively rode as a fourth heat leader (or even better), within just a few weeks of coming over... Many a season was decided there and then when the next 'wunderkind' came over to put a good couple of points on his average minimum... How times change...
  3. They would give Kings Lynn a run for their money..
  4. That's four points the Tigers have had in the past four evenings, courtesy of the Witches and now the Aces... Only the Stars, Panthers and Wolves left now... (But not sure the Stars have anyone they would want to use)....
  5. Of course not, they wouldn't have a prayer.. However.. Constantly pretending in the UK that this is a team sport is doing it no favours.. The leagues are simply only in situ to provide plenty of rides for the riders, which the clubs could do just the same, but with credibility.....
  6. Would you have an emotional attachment to the Kings Lynn Panthers or the Ipswich Aces tonight?
  7. I remember, and not so long ago either, Nigel would often say prior to Heat 13 each week.. "This could be a Grand Prix Final line up Kelv"..
  8. Can only presume wearing the colours of both clubs has confused him...
  9. Quite agree.. They can't do Team Speedway with any degree of integrity, credibility and kudos, so why not pump all their huge investment into putting up some big individual prize purses, promote the meetings accordingly, and get lads riding each night of similar ability in each race.. They are truly 'flogging a dead horse' by, year in year out, putting out a different version of the same old nonsense that they put out the year before.. The annual reduction of fans being a clear rejection of what they put out... The spectacle of the sport is on a par excitement wise with any other and much more exciting than most... So they should just sell that...
  10. Love the photos of the riders in their variety of club colours. Some are even in Kings Lynn and Ipswich colours...
  11. Not quite as good as Leszno v Wroclaw last evening this..
  12. Sadly, I think we all know the answer dont we... Regardless of any volume or not.. And it was known well before this meeting, never mind this race....
  13. "Hello Minnie".. "Hello Mickey".. "All four back?". "Yeh. Why not?"
  14. Let's hope all those listed turn up, (although I believe that PZM dont mess about if you "cry off").. Should be a good meeting... Zmarzlik never won it..? Majic again???
  15. Maybe using guest riders?... I am sure the fans would be just as fanatical knowing their favourite riders could help everyone else's chances of success, whilst at the same time single handedly destroying their own. And the sponsors would remain just as interested in pumping huge sums of money in to the teams knowing their own riders could completely undermine every single cent of their investment by their actions... And the TV companies would still be falling over themselves to tender for the rights to broadcast each meeting knowing 'Woffy' for example could rider for all eight teams.... Lastly, maybe ride not at the weekends, but Monday and Thursday's,. Two huge nights for the entertainment business.. For me.. The only improvement they could make is having one less junior in the top league teams as there are too many races with two world class riders, one very good one, and a junior.. Maybe the six and seven could be Polish U24 and U21? Other than that, nothing.. Great entertainment, unreal commitment, and you actually feel as a fan that 'it does matter'... If only eh?
  16. Double TAC sub time in heat 14... Emil and Doyle.... Might still need a Majic heat 15 win to take the 2 points.. Edit :3 with the bonus...
  17. Truly great ride from Majic to keep them both behind him on lap one... A match winning one maybe?.... Had to cover both outside and inside in a split second.... Some talent come to the tapes in Poland heat after heat doesn't it?
  18. Certainly "no threat" it seems when behind these days against the top level... Finished much further behind than he was at end of lap one... Made zero ground on Emil...
