  1. Anders Thomsen would be decent shout in my opinion.
  2. Not quite what we are looking for at this present moment
  3. Depends where in Poland they come from, speedway in Poland pretty much renationalised.
  4. Lets hope that Rob Godfrey get things sorted at Scunny, the man has worked hard to bring good entertaining speedway to the city of Scunthorpe. Will Scunny get the crowds they need, is the million dollar question. I seem to recall at the start of the season that Rob was saying needed more bodies through the gates. No denying that Scunny have alot of bad luck with injuries and it is going to take mammoth task to attract more fans when the team is the wrong end of the table. Lets hope that they are succesful.
  5. I think it is time for you to realise that they are not going to apologize. I have not got a Scooby who is telling the truth, but I think that need to realise that apology is not going to be forthcoming. If you cannot accept that then I suggest you take a time out from the forum.
  6. And if Brummie Rebel is unstable mentally. What you did an hour ago makes you the lowest of the low.
  7. Nightmares for Monarchs fans Speedway Gold for Sheffield fans. The Sheffield Promotion even had to cancel the end of season firework display.
  8. Admire you honesty mate. Like a lot from Sheffield we were rooting for the Somerset boys after the help they have given us with the cover Simon Stead. Disappointing for you tonight, but I still think that Somerset can go on to win the League. Congratulations to the Witches.
  9. Did he really beat a 14 year old Robert Lambert? You never know he might comeback to Sheffield get a 21 point maximum and smash the track record. But then again he might not.
  10. Having seen the lad ride for Sheffield a few seasons ago, I would say that unless he has made some rapid improvements I think that you have signed a dud Ans here is your man having a spin around Rye 3 years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbiXgHjqoiY
  11. Seems to be the fashionable thing to do, he no more wild or irresponsible than some others, funny how James Sarjeant went on record on the a SKY to say how much he trust Jason and how much he would not ride with anyone else in the Elite League.
  12. Time to move on, result stands nothing going to change the result, no matter what any of us think about the track. Glasgow have a 14 point advantage to bring to Sheffield that they will try and defend. Lets have them at Sheffield and see what they can do, a word of warning a wounded Yorkshire Tiger is dangerous and don't be surprised if you walk away empty handed.
  13. Putting aside the track debates and who knows what and who is to blame. We bring Glasgow back to Sheffield a fortnight tomorrow. Personally I think 14 points might be a bit too much for us to make up, but I remember another Scottish team coming for a Semi Final defending a much bigger lead and we turned them over. So you never know.
  14. i would try looking at the updates. Nick Morris wins heat 1 with a new track record. Nick Morris crashes in heat 6 and withdraws from the meeting.
  15. Its not just the Guest rider situation that is becoming a problem there is also the doubling up that causes problems as well. Add to that the strict points limit, the sport is run on the obsession of trying to level teams which can make the sport either attractive or not depending on how you feel about the situation. Allow more Elite League riders into the Premier League is not answer in my opinion because you are going to get more and more fixture clashes for doubling up riders, unless the Elite was going to run one night only. As for Sheffield I think if Ty Proctor had not received his marching orders I think you would have seen a full Sheffield 1 to 7 when David Bellego returned.
  16. Unfair advantage when that rider is the top rider in that league? Fail to see what your number dropping to reserve has to do with it.
  17. In a perfect world you would, but with Stead been the top rider in the Premier League for about the last 15 months replacing a rider of that class is difficult. Also a shortage of class riders wanting to ride over here does not help.
  18. First off lets hope that Rob Godfrey continues to run Scunthorpe, I do have a lot of time for the man and he deserves some success for the work and efforts that puts into his speedway team. Tsunami, Oily Rag is from Sheffield and has been a Sheffield fan for years, but does have strong connections to Ben Wilson so I suspect he is following Scunthorpe at the moment. On the subject of charging track staff and other volunteers although a decent cost cutting exercise, but some might say how far do you go. Do factor in mechanics/ pit crew and riders families. Maybe Newcastle are having problems due to past presentation problems cause by the fact that Brough Park is a technical/ trick track. This season there does seem to have been a marked improvement, but last season many meetings were having races with multiple re runs and track gradings which is going to extend the duration of meetings, and decreases the family friendly factor of the sport. But whatever lets hope that both tracks if they are having problems get them sorted out.
  19. Never met the lady, but I certainly remember her from her posts when I first joined the forum. Always got the feeling that she was a bit of a character, reading and listening to those who had the pleasure it appears that she was and will be deeply missed by so many. RIP Shazzy.
  20. Well did not see that one coming. Well Done the Devils.
  21. Depends whether or not he rides for them on a regular basis. You can be contracted to a Polish team, does not necessarily means you are going to be riding week in week out.
  22. I would. Guest up to 7.33 for David Howe. Rider Replacement for James Sarjeant The two reserves back. By my reckoning I that makes Glasgow stronger.
