Poole Speedway 2014 Elite League Champions !
stratton replied to markyb's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Should they not concentrate on fast tracking young riders in the PL? could this fast tracking rule get silly and penalise young riders.Say at Lynn both riders Kerr/Rose want to ride the fans would love them to ride i just hope this rule is thought about properly.Dont keep moving riders for the sake of it because of silly rules Coventry another one can they keep Garrity/Sarjeant at reserve if they want? i think the PL should have the less established young riders at reserve.Should we end up with the scenario of the likes of Worrall,Auty,Newman,Garrity,Birks,Sarjeant,Kerr,S.Worrall,Blackbird,Lawson, (ect) being reserve/top five riders.? -
All That Is Wrong With Speedway....
stratton replied to le sorcier's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Is that right though a big NO? a backward step most of the few who stuck up for the one off championship have a decent point.Why are certain individuals creaming it in, we all know the gp series is a decent series but the league racing world wide has suffered i hope you think it was worth it LONGTERM. -
All That Is Wrong With Speedway....
stratton replied to le sorcier's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
To many meeting's you are joking? for me the GP series has decimated it and lets not forget the BL was streaks ahead of any other league thirty years ago If the product(ie) racing is good maybe say for 15 pound? it will survive.The downside on what you are saying is,if someone gets in the habit of not going most weeks they could be lost for ever a delicate topic really. -
. I remember that race with Morris and at the time i was really annoyed it was really unfortunate.I like Nathan he showed me on S.Gs bike that he can do a job a young lad who for a month or so really improved.Did he get help encouragement who knows?i wish him all the best in the future. All those riders you have named have had different paths different ages and experience my take is all English riders of that level should get a place.For ex) Auty only has 2 years more experience than Newman(who i like and on other threads have said how he has improved).Auty has only had two years of regular EL racing and he averaged 6.50 plus and 5.70 not to bad.Lawson another one how much EL racing has he had not that much really and he has improved year to year.My point is certain riders improve at different times, and riders like the two mentioned should not miss out to the likes of Nielsen and Ellis yet i would like all the Brits to get a ride.Going back a few years two examples of riders who really pushed on later on in there career Tony Davey and Ian Cartwright both i thought were only heat leaders at best riders can improve a little with age.

Big shout ER i don't think he will win it,but god he has real ability and seems a real nice bloke with it.I really think young Pawlicki has a great shout but this era with Emil,? Darcy? Tai, is a strong one for me someone with a real live chance if aloud to enter is Laguta for me he is a class act.The pole riding tomorrow at the Abbey is very talented indeed it will be interesting how he does ER?i thought we nearly signed him a couple of years ago.

Letter In This Weeks Speedway Star
stratton replied to topaz325's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
For me the stadiums don't matter that much,i except that most are rented so the improvements won't be made.All i want is to be entertained and feel i have had value for money,get back to simple rules drop the Micky mouse double points rule and have a proper winner of the league title over a full season.If need be have a separate competition for the top four to satisfy SKY? to keep the season alive. -
Great news what a talent he was, he should still be able to be a force i hope so anyway.
-
What a pathetic comment,? rather childish do you know him ? he will come back and do well believe me saying that why am i trying to convince you you know sweet fa anyway.!!
-
Nothing at all to be honest,this GP series should be fairer only the best 16 riders should be in it we all know this is not the case.The old one off final was not always the best riders what is the excuse in this day and age.? nothing really.

NEVER!!

Torun Sgp 2014 (inc Sunday)
stratton replied to hampshire3321's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
A great series and i was totally wrong about it,i really enjoy it but i still prefer the one off final why can't there be two disciplines? Also next year is a great example the best riders in the world are not there! again i always presumed in a GP series the best would be there they are not.A one off scenario i know it was unfair and brutal at times but it was the same playing field for everybody a FA cup scenario everybody started as a equal had a chance those days have gone now. -
I agree was gutted for PK,he deserved it he rode better than Jensen most of the year i do like both riders,but Kildemand at his best can be a top eight rider.I was hoping maybe Emil and Laguta( who is a massive player classy rider) could enter the series it is not to be those two Russians missing again what a shame.
-
That line up looks on the money, MJJ and Jonasson have not done anough in my book to warrant a chance Batchelor has done really well but was also very fortunate to get a pick.

A great winner a decent man, a great champion for our sport well done Greg. -
If you don't like what he says or respect what he says why read it?Kissing ass what did you mean by that comment ?
-
A sad post from a sad person,i never get the impression of any arrogance from him kissing ass i don't see that either.Also the S/Star is his livelihood he is hardly going to p... people off for the sake of it however he might feel.Why this nastiness towards him? puzzling really i don't understand why you feel you need to.

Speedway Star - Can I Have My Money Back?
stratton replied to Rob Lee's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I still think for the money it is decent value, myself i prefer the old type mag with the front cover simple one picture only.I think the GP coverage is excellent great pictures and sometimes that alone is worth 2.90 i still think it will always have a place.My only moan is the averages i wish they would have them in everyweek all leagues normal averages and those without B.Points. -
Australian Gp Is Back
stratton replied to Stats's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Great post WK ,i like the GP series i never agreed with it hated it the old one off championships were great i loved them ..But I have to admit i was wrong, it is great value still i don't agree who rides in it but it is a great product,But over the last ten years or so our league system has suffered we were the best now we are a afterthought and extra pocket money for the top riders. -
The last six weeks of the season he really pushed on his average much higher he then was not riding like a seven pointer.I am surprised with the 7.04 figure though as things were really going bad for him for most of the season.If he gets a EL birth and gets that sharpness back he is capable of pushing his PL average to 8.30 easily.
