  1. In all fairness, Musielak at number 1 was a good signing as has proven himself as a number one in the UK in recent years. Also MJJ had a superb season in Poland last year so for them pair to get 6 points between them is a surprise. On paper they are two good signings.
  2. I remember the Rye fans couldn't stand him. Whoever was in charge of building that Oxford side so far under the limit wants sacking.
  3. Hardly a bad thing being compared to Todd Wiltshire is it? Modern day Brent Werner would be more accurate !
  4. Bang on. But you'd imagine that Lyon has already thought of that what with him being so highly thought of by Lynn fans.
  5. I didn't think they looked league winning material but thought they looked better than this (Birmingham). Clear to see looking at the scores that its the heatleaders that are the problem there. 11+1 between the 3 of them. Maybe people were right about Zagar, I thought he would still come in and do a good job as he has always been a good gater. Things need to change there and fast or it will be another season like last season.
  6. Yes. And if you click refresh it ends up posting duplicates. That along with the ads is an absolute pain in the ar*e. Is it really essential to have so many adverts? Good win for Ipswich, even more impressive when you factor in that their top 2 were both off form.
  7. That Schroeck is clueless. People have said it since he was Rye House's manager. That Oxford side looks absolutely dreadful. Needs a big hitter in there to replace Riss. It's an absolute p**stake that they have started the season so far under the limit as well.
  8. Hopefully for a good reason as would imagine he has used the fund plenty over the years.
  9. Been told that he is riding championship only and has only pulled out of Leicester's side. Can understand then Berwick keeping quiet as its business as usual for them but you would think the rider himself would come out and clarify whats happened at Leicester and give fans assurances that he isn't going to be mucking about his championship side as well.
  10. Cardiff had to go because the crowds had dropped off so much. Speaking to my old man who went most years after Newport shut down, he reckons year on year the crowd got less and atmosphere in the City on the day wasn't what it was. I saw last years on TV and you could tell it was time to move on. BV is still a decent place for it, the stadiums as good as you'll get for purpose built in the UK atm. If the impossible happens and crowds start picking up everywhere again then it would make sense to move it back to Cardiff I guess but I would say its done now. Cardiff was perfect because you could literally walk out of the pub and straight into the stadium, and then the train station was a 5 minute walk from the stadium. The only issue I have with the whole thing is the ticket prices and how a handful of fans are defending it. If Phil the ace had to pay those prices at Poole for a GP, what would he think then?
  11. It really doesn't mean the prices are too low. You seem to think that just because things sell out quick at extortionate prices, they are priced right and not a rip off which doesn't make any sense to me. There is a huge range of rip of prices for things in this world. There are huge waiting lists for watches that cost over 100,000 quid and nigh on impossible to get, do you really think any watch in the world is worth that much? What about the price of Oasis tickets, I am going twice and paid top whack but still feel ripped off. Just because people pay the prices it doesn't mean they are not being ripped off.
  12. If you hadn't noticed the sport, in the UK at least, is on its absolute arse. Those type of prices do nothing to try and attempt to bring new fans into the sport. If you genuinely think the prices are reasonable then good for you. It seems the majority don't. The minority who do are all Belle Vue fans.
  13. I will definitely agree it was time to move from Cardiff. Back in the day when crowds were regular pushing 40,000 it was superb and the whole day was great. I haven't been since 2012 but to see the crowds so low on the TV was a shame. It had definitely served its time and I don't actually disagree with it going to Belle Vue. We all know it will be a good GP weather permitting and in fairness your not that far away from the City. What gets me is how they have charged such huge prices for it. If I still lived in the UK, would I have gone? Probably to be honest but it still doesn't sit right with me. Despite my previous comments, I do hope you have two days of sunshine and superb racing and it goes well.
