  1. Can only tell you for home fixtures 1 full and 1paid.
  2. No this Pete Smith was born in Barnsley, and also rode for Kings Lynn and Leicester in the British League,curiously he never rode for his local team Sheffield. I believe that he went on to sell speedway spares from a van, but I don't think that he still does that now.
  3. Quite agree, I don't think Lewis can cut it at that level, and I think that Tai is one step above Lewis if not two or three, and is by far a more mature and more controlled and calmer rider.
  4. Thanks Ian, waiting for my son to have look at the Email as it is his address.
  5. Thanks for that info Tiger, I don't suppose you know the result of the 500cc class.
  6. Keep training guys, I am sure you will do okay, my son used to ride at Sheffield with James Sargeant, Cameron Hoskins and Jason Garrity. Good Luck to you both.
  7. What is Scott's surname I like to keep an eye on the Under 15's, you are right not everybody can be a Tai, tell him to keep on training hard.
  8. Sorry was not having a go, I think that you will find that he probably classes himself as Scottish now, I can tell you that Mark Loram was born in Malta and Benji Compton was born in Tenerife.
  9. Andrew Tully was born on the Isle of Man, whether or not he classes himself as coming from there is another matter.
  10. Does anybody know the final result on this one.
  11. Sorry but I do think that Rabbit has a point, and the fact that it one of her clubs rider s they were talking about has nothing to do with it, Sub comes on here and is for ever name calling riders, he has some very valid points, but they get lost in the fact that he has this habit of calling riders, forum members and other names.
  12. And I suppose been a Poole fan that is all that matters as long as you are happy with him.
  13. Have to agree with you on the Pedersen and Gollob incident, Tomas had done nothing wrong, I can only assume that Pedersen was peed off that Gollob beat him.
  14. I am certain Nicki does not mind especially as his team were winning.
  15. HAve to agree with those comments about the Poles, their were certainly the surprise package of the meeting, and at one point I thought that they were going to runaway with the title, I think with the Aussies the stuffing was knocked out of them when Crumpie withdrew from the meeting, and I think if the Swedes could have start the meeting a bit better then they could have made a better challenge of it.
  16. Sorry Rabbit, I know that Bjarnne is a good rider, but he does half remind me of a speedway equivalent of John Major.
  17. Nicki would not have got away with it on here, we would have had 10 pages of Nicki is this and Nicki is that.
  18. I like the guy, I think that he gives speedway a character to watch, much prefer Nicki to Bjarnne who to me appears very grey and dull.
  19. You are absolutely right there Steve, I have friends who are friends of the Blackwells who looked after Nicki Pedersen's engines in GB, they went on holiday to Denmark, and Nicki picked them up from the airport, apparently Nicki was mobbed at the airport, and it took them ages to get out while he signed autographs for fans. While over there they stay in Nicki Pedersen's flat, and while they were there had to put up with people staring through the windows looking to see if Nicki was in, over in Denmark he is the next most famous face to the Royalty.
  20. I think that Bomber and Tai could hold the heads up high and to a lesser extent Eddie Kennett, but two more experience riders Scott Nicholls and Lee Richardson need to look at there performances, and ask if they still have the desire, because personally I don't think it is there anymore, personally I don't think that Scott has been the same rider since his young daughter was born, so maybe his outlook on life has changed and his priorties having kids do that to you, and would never slag of Scott for doing that. As for Lee, I think it is a case of the body won't do what the mind tells it to do, he has been a fine Team GB rider in the past, and rode above expections on many occasions, and should be proud of his WTC record, but needs to bow out now before he becomes someone who has gone on to long. We now need to take the positives of the World Team Cup, build a team around Bomber and Tai, sure we are going to take some more knocks along the way, but I am certain that this country still has the talent to bring succes, we just need to be patient and nuture it.
