  1. Having no knowledge of drug taking in speedway, isn't it under the jurisdiction of the UK Anti Doping Agency, doesn't seem right that it's policed by its own governing body.
  2. I think the Riders should refuse to race on them, the Showground is not the nicest track to crash at, but knowingly using a dodgy tyre is plain stupid, but unfortunately there aren't enough strong Riders to make it happen.
  3. Now it's the weather's fault, never had any problems at the 4TT, which was in the middle of the day, just admit that the cheap tyres are rubbish, riders now have so much equipment forced on them, all of which is a very nice little earner for someone. As the old saying goes, buy cheap, buy twice, or in this case buy cheap, buy 14 times.
  4. At least it got to heat ten, nice little earner for the two Promotions, not having to pay riders for five races, especially 13 and 15 which are the big bucks races
  5. Unless I am reading it wrong, they should have used the tyres on their spare bikes, which according to the regs should be used in an emergency
  6. So what was wrong with the tyres that the riders had on their spare bikes, surely they could have been used.
  7. It's very black and white, a Rider has a list of items that are banned, all he has to do is be capable of reading, if a test is positive, it's goodbye Speedway career, pretty simple, if you choose to take banned substances, you deserve everything that comes your way.
  8. Tatum was way above Crump when it came to moaning about track conditions, the passing of time alters people's memories.
  9. Doesn't matter, failing a drug or alcohol test is cheating, it's not a grey area. He has a list of all banned substances, should have read it
  10. No great surprise, feel sorry for all those Riders he beat while cheating, as that's what it is.
  11. At Belle Vue one night, a member of a very famous family, was caught using a big carb, it was taken off the bike, but returned to him after the meeting finished, absolute joke.
  12. He's probably a very good businessman outside Speedway, but his choice of number 1 and the reserves really does question his judgement, when it comes to Speedway, all he had to do was assemble a Team that could finish mid table, and win the majority at home, shouldn't have been that hard, as Newcastle always has had a massive home advantage, they have a good, loyal fan base, who would have supported a half decent Team.
  13. So BWD and Smith have Polish commitments, what bul*****
  14. Sick notes are two a penny in speedway, should be called a note of convenience.
  15. They don't want to waste money entertaining the opposition's crowd, knowing they'll get hammered anyway . Save face and have a Guest at home to entertain your own fans.
  16. They were doing a gofundme for $16,000 to cover visas !!! according to their social media.
  17. Get out of Glasgow as cheaply as possible, r/r at 1proved that, feel sorry for the home Club. It's all going to end in tears very quickly, unless they have a clear out and somehow sign a number 1 and reserves.
  18. Did he actually beat any opponents in that 9pts, unless they strengthen the Team fast, they'll have more riders than supporters
  19. BWD has probably had one too many bad crashes, some riders are mentally strong enough to put them firmly behind them, but many lose the edge they used to have, Robbo definitely didn't let them affect his performances. Only problem with hype is, you have to live up to it, or the knives quickly come out.
  20. I said 6-8 because he would be riding just for fun nowadays, problem would be when he becomes number 1.
