  1. Or if his father had been Matt Ford, he could have been called either Mini Ford or Cooper Ford.
  2. Nicki sold up and moved back to Denmark during 2015.
  3. Your old fence is now at Northside training track in Workington. The Black and Red one.
  4. It was a canny year that. .....and nearly as good the following year.
  5. Difficult game to change race night for one rider. We did in 2001 for Bjarne, because he wanted to ride in Poland. He didn't get a ride, and we reverted back from Monday to Sunday. We also lost our seniority for Sundays, hence why we have to ride our meetings at Glasgow on Sundays.
  6. Big travel problems travelling to Edinburgh, Plymouth and Somerset on a Friday afternoon, and I don't think he would fancy Worky as a home track. Need to watch for any movement, but I don't think Ippy will change their night from a Thursday.
  7. I was having a go at one in particular who still hasn't got over 2010, and probably never will Stay quiet and be damned. Not usually an option you can get away with. Because the fans expected one and they got one. Why cancel it, and if the developers don't build the stadium there are some, like Davy, will argue he knew all along and they had no intention of holding one. NB Being a 'player' is a damsight harder than being a permanent critic. Critics are apparently never wrong (but don't achieve anything either).
  8. Why should it go to anybody else but the successful teams in the competition. It is not a shared event like the Lucky 7 BSPA competitions.
  9. Yes, but as the custodian of the situation, TR could only go with the promises that were being given to him. What do folks expect him to say publicly, if the developer is assuring him things are OK and are on track. It's a different matter to guess and insinuate on a social media with no direct responsibilities, than be in the middle trying to makes things work for everyone. At least they got a plan and fans get a new stadium during the year, despite others doubting anything they hear.
  10. If I am understanding you right Oldace, you are advocating that the difference between a normal gate and the 4000, is the extra revenue due to the playoffs. If there weren't any Playoffs there would not be such a meeting or semifinal meetings, so the total gate for all PO meetings is the true financial advantage for PO's. Have I got that right.
  11. Nice thought to have Lewis back, but did George not say that one of the reasons for Lewis not rejoining us, apart from the extensive travel, was that Lewis had ambitions to ride in Poland this year. That would stop him joining us.
  12. Totally agree. Such a 'character" that he is highly unlikely to return to this country because of tax offences. Not likely to ride for the USA in England anytime.
  13. Using my ability to read and understand, I remember TR saying he still had expectations that the Stadium would be ready for the start of the season, given the info that he had been given. As time went on, that was seen to be optimistic, but we have to presume that TR had nothing to gain if he knew otherwise. Now it would seem a reasonable compromise has been agreed, given what TR has been told by the developers. But of course as usual it will all be a con to you.
  14. Yes, but the post acknowledged Garrity's ambition whilst not crediting Kyle with that ambition. Rather a one sided comment. Kyle rides on the continent some weeks during the season, but it just doesn't get generally commented on. Of the two, IMO Kyle has shown more ambition than Garrity so far.
  15. I remember Jimmy in the 60's being a stalward rider in the Old Meadowbank days. Never a great rider, but very much a handful on track. RIP Jimmy
  16. Can't find what he came back on, but it was a low average and worth a punt at that average.
  17. In a standoff situation, like Poker, you don't 'blink' till you win.
  18. Neither was I, but changed my mind last year. Like Ludde at no 1 on 7.15 in 2014, Kus this past season has an average of 7.13 so he must score decent points somewhere as averages don't normally lie. I can accept a couple of race wins at home every week, but will be extremely interested in meetings at big tracks like Sheffield, Peterborough and largish ones like Glasgow and Somerset, where he is usually a top scorer. That's if Kus doesn't blink before March 2016.
