Tbh almost all the number ones have struggled this season. Have to wonder if they have decided its not worth investing in top quality bikes for the el? Allied with the race format meaning the odd shocker is always possible. Is Doyle the only number one not to come under criticism this season? Would add that I can't see how anyone could criticise Pk for his performance here. Steve brum - just like last year, getting carried away by early season results. If you sign ward though I reckon you could make the play offs.

2015 Speedway Gp Challange
waiheke1 replied to OveFundinFan's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Would like to see three from baby pawlicki, v aculik, Harris, lindback And killer get through. -
And any Brit with aspirations of being gp quality would have to leave the UK,as the standard would be far too low. And tracks would close due to declining revenues The solution is to improve the product, not worsen it. And that means improving the whole package. Edit. This is response to we post, didn't want to quote the whole thing

We sees no benefit in getting 40k+ fans in. He'd rather see 12k attend at belle vue as that would be better for the sport.... -

Warsaw Gp Saturday 18th April

Maybe someone forgot that it needed to be stored in a pyramid shape? -
What does it say?

Me too. I'd have Luis Suarez back as well. I'd have happily had Kenny carter ride for the aces.Doesn't mean I approve of their behaviour.

I make it that this Friday is 45 days from when ward received the fim full statement. So maybe he's waiting til then to release his statement?

Tampere Gp

Tbh an England gp would sell out at belle vue and doubt it would impact negatively on Cardiff attendance. Would surely be profit making for bsi and make moslre sense, commercially and speedway wise, than say Tampere or a second Swedish gp -

waiheke1 replied to ProudtobeaBrummie's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Tbf, laguta didn't enter the gp qualifiers, refused to ride swc and potentially(?) has visa issues. So I can understand why he was overlooked despite being worthy of a place on merit.Killer was unlucky, was a 50/50 call between him and mjj imho -
And not get anything in writing from the body whose opinion mattered?
-
Surely that's a permanent state for Starman?

Teamgb V. Great Britain?
waiheke1 replied to The White Knight's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
When did the team change from being called England to GB? I remember in the 80s it was "England" though confusingly they wore the union jack from 81 or 82 onwards? -
to paraphrase my favourite line, from the greatest TV series ever made (The Wire) "a less enlightened man than myself, a cruder man than myself, .. a man like that, not me, but a man like that, might just call you a C..."

Wolves V King's Lynn Monday 18th May
waiheke1 replied to Wolfsbane's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Ok I've actually looked up all metting this season: I make it that out of 39 EL mathces, HL have been the main factor in determing the winner in 16 meetings, 2nd strings in 10.5 and reservces in 12.5 matches. So pretty even split, you'd expect HL to be the key factor in more than either of the other categories given that a) they generalyl have extra rides in ht 15 and there are 3 of them per team. Reserves the key factor in around 1/3 matches, but less often the deciiding factor than HL. -
Wolves V King's Lynn Monday 18th May
waiheke1 replied to Wolfsbane's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Small sample size, but looking at wolves home matches this season reserves have been the main factor in determining victors in 2 matches and 2nd strings main factor in three matches. -

Belle Vue Aces -v Poole "cheats" Pirates
waiheke1 replied to Phil The Ace's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I think its fair enough for riders to ride in go then miss league speedway. In theory such a rule makes sense for domestic comps BUT the polish clubs would never agree to it. EL could still implement it but it would only work "one way" -
Refer above.If Sheffield got written exemption from ukvi from the visa criteria then its not their fault. The absence of an appeal indicates this is not the case. Therefore it seems the fault is Sheffield. Don't see how u can think differently,?
