In all of this piss taking of Poole... Respect to Klindt, Josh G and Covatti.. Not 'superstars' and probably never will be (nor ever think of themselves as such like you feel some would).. Especially Klindt.. An alleged 'gating tart' who seems to be evolving into something a whole lot more.. Including leading a team... Wouldn't mind seeing him at the NSS next year.. Anyway, compliments over.. Let's get back to taking the piss out of Poole...

Unless there is a crash and your bike gets damaged, the bike you start the race on is the one you start the re run on.. Straight round, no stopping... If after lap one an incident happens then riders can return to the pits gate, stay on track and review fuel only... No messing with anything else... Cant be too difficult to implement..

Big decisions in November.
mikebv replied to Sidney the robin's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Just read this and checked the timeline when it appeared.. It said 22 hours ago.. It really could have said 22 years ago and many would stil have nodded in agreement.... How about starting with whoever becomes Champions gets their average used as the limit next year? An aspirational level to be attained by the rest.. And meaning the Champs don't have to release riders if they don't want to... And hopefully meaning their crowds, who have built an association with the riders who have brought success, can keep that so important emotional attachment that team followers desperately need..? -

Thank you Mr Chunky, my good man. Kind words indeed. i will try and explain my rationale for said articulation. Your words took me back to a particularly bleak and grey night at New Cross a great many years ago. A night full of mist and drizzle (mizzle if you will), and one where I remember dear old Sverre Harrfeldt (a true gentleman), saying to me "Open that door for me will you I've got my hands full" as he arrived at the track carrying his leathers in a bag. We remained on me knowing who he was terms for a great many years. Many more than either of us would care to remember I am sure. Note "leathers", I said by the way, and black ones only too, not some garishly coloured garb that looks like they give no more protection than a common or garden wincyette nighty. As I say a true gentleman was Sverre, no tattoos or holes in his ears for him. In fact, as a case in point I remember Split Waterman one night at West Ham saying etc etc etc -

Mmmmm. Interesting Iris123 and thank you, indeed, food for thought. I have a question and its a pertinent one. Is this service available via one of the true wonders of the modern world, that is to say, the telephone, perchance? And if that it is indeed the case in point, do Messrs WHSmith accept postal orders as remittance (in part or full) for said purchases? Personally I cannot wait for the Internet to be invented whereby I can eagerly, and enthusiastically, look forward to the day companies decide to sell their wares "on-the-line", as I believe the correct parlance may well turn out to be. -
Poole v Ipswich Play Off Semi 1st leg. 23/9/19
mikebv replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
You see, you are giving up far too easy.. Simply tell Buster that as an Ipswich fan you know the only way for Ippo to get to the final is to prepare the track devoid of dirt.. Basically tell him that Ipswich need a billiard table type smooth surface with hardly a smattering of shale.. A 'gaters paradise' if you will... That way you can guarantee a track with six inches of loose stuff that you could grow taters in... -

Plenty of riders, drivers, tennis players, snooker players, darts players and showjumpers have won three Grand Prix in their chosen sports.. And Lewis Hamilton has won many, many more than three.. You need to go back and tell her.. This young lady will feel foolish I am sure.. -

mikebv replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
With no TacSub rides I would suggest ten points is doable.. Particularly if Ippo rip up the track and make it heavy... We saw tonight how Poole struggled until the track went slick so maybe Ippo need to take advantage of this.. At least it makes the 2nd leg interesting for us neutrals.. (As much as we are neutrals).. Fair play tonight to Poole for digging deep, and overall not a bad advert for the sport... -

Think Ipswich need to make it a 'tad grippy' on Saturday. .. -

If that had been Nicki P taking THJ out I would think there would be somewhat of a different understanding of the situation on here.. Good old Bomber... -

Track slickening off.. Could be giving Poole a lifeline? -
