  1. I reckon that Darcy is been very clever here. The contract that he has in Poland must be a big one money wise. The lad has exceptional talent, but he is not like others jumping straight into the GP like others but taken his time, he has obviously looked at others like Woffenden and too a lesser extent Holder and Sayfutdinov and seen how they have found it hard to maintain a top 8 place. He is still very young and time is certainly on his side, expect to see him mixing in the GP's either 2013 or 2014.
  2. Well Done to Shefffield/ Scunthorpe team, lets hope that both Promotion keep this team going for next season. For the benefit of Manchester Paul and Parsloe, Sheffield had 4 league meetings rode at Sheffield in these meetings they were called the Sheffield Prowlers , in corresponding fixtures away they were again called surprise surprise Sheffield Prowlers. When the team rode at Scunthorpe they were called The Saints, I leave you to guess what they were called in the corresponding fixture. Most Sheffield fans are happy with the arrangement and I believe that most Scunthorpe fans were, because at the end of the day both clubs have a strong tradition of encouraging young British riders in the past in fact Sheffield had a really good Conference League team some years back. Hopefully this answers your questions, and to why both sets of fans are happy, and hopefully it might encourage more mergers and give more opportunities to more younger riders.
  3. I think it shows you where the real power is in World Speedway. Poland. Any rider who has aspirations of riding in the top league in Poland is not going to take a wild card, end of the day money talks and pays the bills.
  4. Had this discussion at home, and watching Darcy Ward, Chris Holder and Emil Sayfutdinov, I reckon that Darcy is the better rider and the better prospect to make the breakthrough. This season watching him he has taken his racing to a different level, and he seems to me that he has more control over the bike and more moves than the other two.
  5. Yeah thanks GC very nice meal , too be fair to the Sheffield Promotion, and the track staff they are very good at getting meetings on, even when we the supporters think that there is no chance, but when we eventually got into the stadium last night I just could see how there was any chance, and as you have pointed out the last heavy downpour put pay to a lot of people's hard work.
  6. Spent all day waiting for this meeting to be called off, because I had a feeling that the weather would be the winner, and the only reason for going down was to use Junior's prize from the raffle last week a free carvery otherwise I would have stayed at home. And kind of knew that the writing was on the wall when arriving just before 7.00pm the gates were not opened, we had to wait a further 20 minutes in the cold rain for the gates to open. When entered the stadium and looked at the track my first thoughts were that there was no way that I was going to see a speedway meeting and I was proved right in the end, hats off to the track staff who worked their nuts of to try and get the meeting on, but I think that a lot of people could have been saved a lot of time, money ad in the case of the track staff a helluva a lot of hard work and effort fighting a losing battle.
  7. Well it is absolutely bouncing it down now in the town centre.
  8. We have had intermitent rain showers with sun spells and there is also very strong winds. To be honest I would not like to say whther the meeting will be on or not.
  9. Cracking meeting , Ryan Sullivan should still be riding in the Grand Prix.
  10. Totally wasting your time, the lady is wearing blinkers on the subject and won't listen to any reasoning on the subject.
  11. Actually he said that he thought that his average would be too high for him to ride in the Premier League.
  12. Must be good then, I did not think that Ryan Air were that bad when we used them in April.
  13. And we have both still yet to win on the raffle.
  14. Could not agree more, but then again certain sections of the Scunthorpe fans never want us to be part of the National League refuse to support the team when they based meetings at Sheffield.
  15. Bomber finished 6th last year which meant that he qualified for the Grand Prix series outright.
  16. If Bomber does not finish in the top 8 and it looks that way, then it is difficult to justify his inclusion, even though he qualified outright last season by finishing in the top 8, this season he has looked out of his depth not just in the Grand Prix but in all the league matches in all the main leagues. Of the rest Kennett is and will never good enough, Tai still not ready and could be a couple of years before he will, Ben Barker needs to prove himself more and Lewis Bridger will never be a Grand Prix rider unless he has a change of attitude. Unfortunately until the BSPA and Promotions invest in the young British riders with a plan to improve matters we will never ever get a rider in the Grand Prix never mind one that actually looks as though they will challenges for the title.
  17. Like Rob B says the website is very old, it was done by a girl who use to watch the riders at the training track, she did them for a few others Spin King Junior as well. Its not very professional but it was done by who did them in their spare time, and t even has his date of birth wrong, something that led me to make an error on his age on a thread on here. There are people that know why Jason was prevented form riding, but it is a long time ago and is in the past and should stay there the main thing is that the lad is riding and is an excellent prospect.
  18. Trouble is that you will be missing the mighty Tiger Lambert mate.
  19. Late tuning into the match is there anyone can tell me what has happened to Hampel.
