  1. When's this statement coming out? My lawyer hasn't seen a statement take this long in 26 years of being in court 24/7/365. #joke trying to stay strong but the waiting is stressing me
  2. If coventrys final rider is klindt, then I would tip leicester to make the top four ahead of the bees.
  3. Heat 20 of the first two nz gps - emil v hampel and emil v ward penhall v olsen and knudsen in 81 Mort and pc last heat 5-1 in bl in 82 to defear sheffield 40-38. Ross and pc last heat 5-1 against cradley in premiership 83 to win 79-77 on aggregate. And there's one classic mort ride in the 81 world team cup final. pc vs lee in the77 ic final. moran v jonsson 90 world final
  4. Gutted. Arrive in helsinki on business the day after this meeting. Had a look at changing flights to travel a day earlier but would cost over 200 quid to change. Schoolboy error not checking the date of this before booking.
  5. Not sure. There seemed to be a spate of career ending, or near career ending, injuries in the late 80s and early 90s. joe owen, gundersen, jonsson, jan o, cross, knudsen, ermolenko etc I think the introduction of air fences has arguably been the biggest single factor in reducing fatal or near fatal injuries. And of course advances in medical treat ment and generally improved h&s.
  6. Thanks. A typical Eric 1984 meeting - 3 wins and a tape exclusiun.
  7. But surely coventry were aware bridger didn't have equipment when they hired him? Adking for a loan is imho fair enough, just as its fair enough for coventry to say no
  8. Yeah ole finished end of 83 and started with eric in 84. By 85 hans was not in danish world pairs team (ole was manager) and missed some other danish international s.
  9. I think we all know exactly where darcy got his social media training from.when in his statement he calls the fim retarded, we shall know his training is complete.
  10. Pretty much spot on tnt I reckon, though can't see doyle making top 8.
  11. have to agree twk. Pokarekare Ana is a retro kiwi classic as well.
  12. I very much doubt it based on his twitter statement "I'm not happy about the unanswered", which has set off the predictable comments from his followers about stitch ups, court of human rights etc. Clearly there are actually no limits as to how thick some people can be.
  13. That makes tai an even more amazing option for teams looking to strengthen later in the season - loan appearances for poole approaching play off time adsuming wolves out of play off contention? Norths average goes up, allowing him to be replaced by kk, who is not used in heat 15 allow ing him to increase average sufficiently to be replaced by darcy end of june. meantime watt as 2nd string increases his average above 6.97 allowing tai to come in at play off time (in interests of speedway!).
  14. yes, and ditto olsen with eric from 84 onwards.
  15. clearly not always the case, but there is certainly an argument that there were otgers from their generation as or more talented who achieved only a fraction of what they did. Certsinly both were ultra professional, and both had a mentor (mauger and olsen respectively).
  16. Was mauger more naturally gifted than collins? Nielsen more naturally gifted than lee and k moran? is hancock more gifted than gollob? was briggo one of the top five most naturally gifted riders of all time? Im sure all top riders work hard, but some are clearly more professional and work hsrder than others. Its a valid point. you won't be a world champ withour both tslent, professionalism and hard work. So far starry which aspect would u say ward is lacking in?
  17. I think he got a discharge without conviction for the issue with the drugs and fleeing police, so he probably has a clean criminal record.so, if he was a brit and there was a professional league in auusie, I think he would get a working visa. surely it is unlikely though that darcy will replace a rider with a higher average, hence some reshuffle will be needed if he were to be accomodated.
  18. Tbh I could see it easily taking three days to sort contracts etc once the outcome was known of the darcy case. And I see sense in not announcing a side until all paperwork is in place. the other aspect is that now the ban length is known, anddarcy available from mid season, this may have caused fresh thinking about the best option to accomodate his return In this instance dont think poole are doing anything wrong. There's no rush surely?
  19. the other thing to note is that there is very little footage of him on youtube riding either of the two tracks that he rode best - the shay and hyde rd.
  20. a few pages back I listed 5 questions I thought would have bern appropriate for the star to have asked middlo a few pages back I listed 5 questions I thought would have bern appropriate for the star to have asked middlo
  21. Its common knowledge that the reason they handed out only 10 months was because they failed to take bloods, had an off duty policeman perform the test, took more than seven days to make a decision and are worried about how much compensation they will have to pay when one of middlos lawyer friends sues them.
  22. some classics on there. Someone suggested he go to race in California My personal favourite is "devastated. things will never be the same again"
  23. Hard to tell how coventry will do til they find a fifth rider. Someone like mads you'd have to rank them one of the fsvourites. someone like klindt and they will do well to finish fourth.
