Tsunami

I thought he always looks a little ropey.

cyclone has a clash with many personalties.

Are creches going to be mandatory at every speedway. (That's creches, not crashes- for our Ashington folk up here)

That's what I recall. Think he might have been with Eastbourne.

Agree. At 'that' meeting at Newcastle a few weeks ago with Dave Dowling in charge, he wouldn't allow a sun break, despite the riders requesting one. He told them to use tints, but was advised by senior riders that they only work for the one in front and, as you say, the following riders can't see because of the light and shade changes for them behind. He stood his ground, and refused the sun break, but ordered an 'interval' to be taken, without consulting the home promotion. Stubborn or what.

You really do write a load of tosh. Too many foreigners in the British leagues, so the BSPA bring in FTR riders in line with Sweden and Poland. It is in it's second year, and there are already plans to move up the better FTR riders into second string spots, and replacing them in the FTR with the better young riders. A conveyor belt for transition, when the riders have achieved a standard they can be moved onwards and upwards. If you would try to keep up with developments instead of the usual criticism and tosh, you would see that a system of development is already in place and starting to produce.

On the Youth Speedway and Development Thread on BSF.

Quite agree. A front rider could lock up in front, and a following rider could shut off and be 'impeded'. Front rider exclusion for interference.

or the ref missed it.

Nike does it for me. Nice exuberant style and picked up how to ride our track very quickly, even though he did not get the points he deserved. Drop him off at Brough anytime please.

Better to know all, than f**k all. Now go away and be childish, like in the junior section.

Did not ride in other races. 5 broken metatarsals, tendon damage in first ever NJL, ah well back in 6-8 weeks. Thanks to Berwick officials on the night.

Mr Arrogance strikes again. As AoF also says, 'it's all a matter of opinion'. Get owa ya sel.

He's always bleating about something.

Says he who can't cause enough bother on his own teams thread. He was, but he changed his line to block Ludde who was at full pelt around Masters. What was Ludde to do, it he shut off or kept it on, he was still going to have to go into the fence to avoid a direct hit on Masters.

Certainly thought there was a good case of Masters giving Ludde no where to go and being excluded for it. Master from past experience must the biggest winger in British Speedway, always moaning and even had a go at Steve when Steve did nothing wrong to keep him at bay in heat 5. Same guy then rides straight across Ludde's line and puts him in the fence. He wasn't moaning then. Kerr's 'off' on the third bend curve was his own fault, he could't get though and spun.

I would say most riders will miss a round/s unless they were near the top and need every score. Most riders will do say the Northern venues or the Southern venues, depending on where they live. At the end of the day it is important track time, against decent opposition, in a competitive atmosphere. Great to see the kids meeting up and making friendships.

I'll have to take your word on that.

It was shocking that he was caught up in all the visa problems. Pleased to see he can return to racing. I thought it would have been correct to give him a one month visitor visa to arrange his affairs before leaving. No common sense in the decision.

Not when it comes over from the Irish Sea. It's bloody freezing, especially if you stand on the perimeter of the 1st/2nd bend. Back straight for me every time, despite the locals.

Quite agree. If it was all down to the BSPA, why did other promotions also attend the visa training days. It's all down to the promotion adhering to the visa conditions,

Been there when it was.

You can't make such a sweeping statement, just based on a few Redcar fans nyb.

On the contrary, I think it is up to Sheffield to put the story out, as they were his employers, and his sponsor for the visa.

Yes, sidney did include Glasgow.
