Well that is Barker scoring a maximum. -
Berwick V Leicester 18th August
spin king replied to Tompy's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I think you will find the Olly Allen is out injured with a broken arm, and likely to be out for the rest of the season. -
Well Done Scunthorpe on another victory over, and I am sure that they walk it into the Play Offs. Poor season for us at Sheffield, but at least after all the big talking on what Scunthorpe were going to do to us we still got the better of the 4 head to head meetings this season. Points Taken from League and Trophy matches Scunthorpe 6 Sheffield 7 Race points from League and Trophy matches Scunthorpe 177 Sheffield 179 I suppose if you are going to have a poor season at least amke sure you get the better of your local rivals. .

What Is Going On At Leicester ?
spin king replied to djp45's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
What is Glynn Taylor's record as a Team Manager, and has he ever been a Team Manager? As far as I am aware his expertise is as a Track Curator. For me the appointment seems very strange, sacked from one job to be re employed doing another job. -
Top 10 Riders On Current Form

Surprised not to see David Howe. -
Great I am working this Sunday so that gives me plenty of time to get back for the match. Thursday could be tricky, but hopefully I can get back from work early to watch that one before I go for the Sheffield home match (weather permitting) And then two matches for the Sunday. Starting to feel better already.

Gollob looks like the man to beat. -
Saw Gjedde at Sheffield last week and I have to say that he looked far better around Sheffield than the 3 occasion's I saw him last season at Sheffield. And the track at Sheffield was not that slick or a dust bowl.
-
Or maybe Belle Vue and the rider might not want him to make the move.
-
I think apart from Barker and Fisher, who you would imagine will get decent points where ever they go the rest of the team will be under great scrutiny. The big problem that I see with Plymouth is the riders that have signed then not signed, and I would imagine that it must have been unsettling for riders that have eventually sign to ride for Plymouth only to be told that Plymouth were then interested in Leigh Lanham.
-
Not saying that Ben Barker is a poor rider, just that on the two occasions last season that he came to Sheffield that he was very disappointing when even Sheffield 2nd strings beat him. I will agree that Plymouth will be very hard to beat on their own track, and some teams will possibly take a bit of a beating, but away from home I cannot see them making any improvements, especially if Barker or Fisher have an off night.
-
I suppose that is about as near as I get to you admitting that I was right. Not really a gambling man as Squall and Junior will tell you, but a price of pint ain't much go on then.
-
Actually that was two off nights, and not only the riders mentioned beat him but also from the present Sheffield squad Skidmore (twice) and Sanchez. Like I say at Sheffield he looked decidedly average for the top man in the Premier League and an Elite League heatleader, I would have expected better.
-
Cannot speak for Ryan Fisher, but Ben Barker was decidedly average at Sheffield last season his record was; Rides; 10 1st; 2 2nd; 4 3rd; 3 4th; 1 heat advantages for; 1 heat advantages against; 6 Drawn heats; 3 I think there is massive pressure on both Barker and Fisher to perform, one has an off night they have problems. I think problem with Boxall it about desire more than talent.

Reading that I get the feeling that he might be getting cold feet on the move. My guess is that he will sit it out and wait for a place to become available.. The one thing this will do if he does not sign is make one rider very unsettled at Plymouth because someone going to be dropped to make way for him if he does sign.

The word IF keeps featuring.

I don't about giving Team Managers something to think about gives me something to think about. You do have point of giving young reserves chance to earn more, how about having meetings over 16 heats with two reserve races.
