Bit sick of all this Holder rode so North should ride carp. Human beings (and that includes speedway riders) cope with stress/shock/anxiety/bad news in different ways. Holder obviously felt that the best way he could help Darcy was to go and ride for him as it were. Dakota obviously doesn't feel able to ride to his full potential at present. Now whether Holder should have been allowed to ride by the authorities is another argument!

Maybe if the reason given was anxiety and depression and not compassion there would be far less uproar. Dak certainly fits the first and in the circumstances probably the second at present but somehow A & D doesn't quite fit in with the image of big brave speedway riders does it?

He did indeed pull up but I thought he was further back than 2nd/3rd. Hard to tell in 6 man races, it's impossible to watch them all.

Fundin, Collins and many more have ridden with their legs in plaster, I wouldn't rule Garrity out just yet.

Didn't have a clue what was going on most of the time but by heck that was entertaining.

Maybe Howarth will develop a case of the back door trots by tomorrow. Poole couldn't complain if he did.

Cheers for the link.

I assume you will be making multiple pleas for the North family to issue a statement regarding the extent of the injuries in the same way as you harassed the Ward family? Oh no wait For the record I have no wish to know. I wish both families all the best and both patients as full and speedy recovery as possible.

I don't dispute NKI scores the points but come on he's a bit like a robot and we are discussing passion here.

In that case both Bjerre & NKI need to be replaced with a couple of Garrity type riders....sorted. Doubt that view will be popular tho

Did he? He made some claims, he hasn't substantiated any of them, unless I've missed it, in which case please tell me where. What he says may well be true but until he provides credible facts his opinion carries no more weight than yours, mine or anyone else's.

No problem with anyone stating an opinion. I have a problem when someone claims to have "expert" knowledge about the subject of that opinion but steadfastly refuses to state what that knowledge is. Unless and until the "experts" credentials are known their opinion is no more valid than yours or mine. To his credit when challenged Gavan explained where his knowledge came from which allowed people to form an opinion as to his "expertise". That's not the case with Robert72

Learn to read I did not call anyone a nobody with or without a capital N.

You mean treat him as a nobody

Correct I wouldn't when it comes to things mechanical.Neither would I put my hubby in that category despite his having spannered for a couple of riders in the past.

My first reactions was Who? Having googled him I'm not much wiser. Let's put it this way, I wouldn't put him in the expert witness category.

Are they related to Bow Wows and Yap Yaps

And that's where they'll stay if they only get half the experience and half the wages. I don't agree with limiting chances for young Brits for the convenience of foreigners who simply see Britain as another wage packet.

So that will suit the number 1s, but what happens to the other 6 members of the team? Especially the Brits!

Before ranting try reading . I didn't call you a liar, I said my post was as credible as either yours or Robert which in the absence of any proof it is. Now I am not disputing the facts in your quoted post BUT and it's a big but, you haven't provided any proof. I don't want any by the way cos I couldn't give 2 monkeys who either of you spannered for. I was merely trying to inject a modicum of humour before yet another thread turned into all out war.

He didn't say Mark Loram the speedway rider, he had a school friend of that name and they were both in the egg and spoon race. That's as credible as anything either of you have posted

I sincerely hope you meant nurtured or some poor lass is going to be disappointed If he wants to go let's hope Buster gets the best possible price for him, I'm sure he will. Buster has never been one to keep a rider who is unhappy and seems to prefer riders being sold to put out on loan.

So what would be best in your opinion?

Have to admit the lack of concession entry price made me think twice but to be honest the main reason was the cold. Lynn is never warm at the best of times but yesterday was bbbbrrrrrr! Nothing to be done about that I guess sadly
