  1. Envy don't think so, it seems to me you have loads of riders who don't want to ride for you!!.If you want to look at how not to run a club look no farther than you lot.
  2. Never ever see Fundin ride which was a shame my uncle did and said Fundin at his peak was awesome.He did say that he see Craven beat him at Hyde Rd and often Ove hugged the line a lot and i believe Craven had a good head to head record against him?Briggoe's record against him i think was quite even.
  3. Again speedway has shown how it is run as a Micky mouse sport,can't believe this couldn't of been resolved.I hope NKI maybe considers the legal route i would of thought he would have a great case.But again the supporter is punished by not seeing him ride and the EL has one less star( there isn't many).I feel sorry for the Kings Lynn supporters more than anyone but this is speedway we are talking about.As for Peterborough get your ass into gear and choose your team! they have had long enough all these issues should of been discussed and resolved at the end of the season.
  4. I have been thinking for months of getting rid of sky our bill now is just too much not great value.I really only watch the football and speedway and other stuff i get on the laptop.We have only kept it because my two kids said no, maybe this will sway it.Does this mean now British speedway won't have to bow down too the GP series? I will miss it but it is not the end of the world might be able to get regular streams from somewhere.
  5. I think he has, but now the averages are without BPS the figures are false anyway he did a great job this year can improve again.
  6. I think so Wolves god there EL Monday night home fixture on sky god yawn yawn rubbish turned over by 8.30 and watched later.
  7. Coventry had the British final for years i never agreed with that, it's a ok venue and used to cater for 12/15 000 fans.But years before West Ham Sheffield and others had the semi,s and finals.Someone did mention there is a bidding system ?to get British Finals that's why Wolves get them now as a track i personally do not enjoy the racing there.
  8. EIght point plus average after a terrible start says not? did you watch without your glasses? an amazing comment he also can improve.
  9. The odd year maybe but it should not be the norm that it would be there most years.Peterborough, Somerset, Swindon,Sheffield, Berwick, KIngs Lynn to name a few all miles better as racetracks.
  10. Average at best a very technical track having British finals there is a joke, went there a dozen times was a ok venue now is only one side open.? Went there once for the British open pairs meeting very average and now as race tracks go would be well down the pecking order in front of Eastbourne and Lakeside only.!!
  11. I only see Barrow ride once at Milton Keynes, i think Charlie Monk rode my favourite Barrow riders were Joe/Tom Owen Mike Sampson and Mark Courtney.
  12. God some line up that, you have missed no one out at all!! maybe Johnson.? That is my biggest regret never being able too ever see Briggo at the great Hyde Rd, my trips there were the best speedway days ever. The Mauger meeting ( with 6 in a race was awesome Nielsen outstanding on the day it was a great day out also Carter was a sight there too. My top 5 ever would be 1. Briggs. 2.Mauger 3.Fundin 4.Olsen 5.Nielsen
  13. Thanks Hawkeyenz i can vaguely remember that now at Exeter, also remember now Chris Pusey riding for Weymouth around the same time.Flood could of been very good how good? who knows a shame really him and Mick Mckeon who finished early could of had good long shale careers.
  14. Why would they buy him? pay a loan fee end of story it's for Peterborough too keep there riders happy.
  15. Adams, Jonsson,Karlsson,Loram,RIco,Karger,Goodwin.
  16. KIngs Lynn showed faith in him,and he showed the talent that most of us new he had.Peterborough only ever see him as a heat leader now Lynn have done the spadework why should the panthers expect too click there fingers and he will come back running.?
  17. Peterborough are for me a prime example in the business climate we are in what is the point of owning your own assets.?Nearly christmas and they have just Sundstrome in place? and that was even before they had known about the stupid top 20 rider rule.They have more assets than most yet they are in a right pickle riders dont seem that keen too ride for them.Is that because they do not show enough faith in there riders? maybe not but can't see NKI riding for them anytime soon and why? would he.
  18. Briggo, Moore,T.Jansson, Hedge, Tatum,Ross, Jancarz.
  19. Jansson Lovaas, D.Morton, Plech, Thommo, Petersen, Loram not bad eh!
  20. Good shout 'semion' i know the robins won the league but it was not the be all and end all for me.If i enjoy my racing that's the main thing for me i can't stand the selfish win at all cost culture attitude.Glad Lynn have a good side always been a great club and great racetrack.
  21. Crewe i believe was a massive track, and it just shows how good Crump senior was. I think if i am right he had little experience on big tracks Mildura was not overly big.As the WK says Crewe had some terrific riders, i think i might of seen Flood in second halves at Swindon and after the meeting spins i think he signed as a no 8 for the robins.?
  22. Am chuffed about the Ed signing, a great chance for him to reinvent himself.Rides the Abbey well but away i believe he will be invaluable the thing i see with him is that he always gives his all.If he gets it together which i am certain he will the robins have a terrific capture good luck Eddie and welcome to the robins.
  23. Gary Flood looked a very talented rider,had a one and only great season with Crewe.What happened to him? did he go back to moto cross racing often wondered what he could of achieved.
  24. Is being placed in 12 rounds (ie) semi finals minimum, harder than say winning 6 rounds? i would say winning six rounds should be a lot more rewarding is it at the moment in it's form.? As for everyone being able to enter the qualifying system everyone has a chance that is a myth.A lot of riders just can't afford it, a lot of young riders i would imagine would love to say enter the under 21s it is just not viable. Travelling to places like Slovenia with no financial help,it is impossible did Joe Haines say that?.The GP series is in affect a closed shop if you have wealthy parents or backers maybe but everyone on the same playing field as years gone by NO.
  25. No Oldace he isn't silly!! i liked Mark i think to win the world championship without winning a round is a different QUALITY? To win a one a one off meeting is a massive achievement, a GP Scenario is so different .
