Gjedde brilliant for Newport too. Superb. Dont think Chris Holder would be the answer for Sheffield either. Shadow of the rider he was

The changing of heats/laps etc is a typical BSPA change... changing something that doesn't need thinking. A completely new governing body full of young, enthusiastic people with visions of making the sport value for money is what is needed to replace that berk Godfrey and his following. Where you find these people I do not know.

Stonehewer, Nicki Pedersen, Henriksson, Wato , Iversen. As said by others though, could be different if asked tomorrow.

It has of course but he is still beating the top boys in both leagues. What is his actual 2021 championship average, anybody know?
-
I remember around 5 years ago he was reserve for Poole and was awful , could only really beat the graded reserves at the time. Very impressive how hes bounced back and become one of the top championship riders again. Will he retire or do one more season I wonder?

Bjarne Pedersen maximum anyone? -
If it wasnt for Mole , Workington would never of returned when they did and Birmingham wouldnt of in the mid 2000’s either.

And to think a couple of years ago, I was having a discussion on here with people regarding the strength of the Premier League/Championnship and how it was much stronger back in the day than these days. I was then laughed at and told Kyle Howarth , Ricky Wells et all would of averaged 10 point figures in the company of Wilson, Stonehewer, Carr, Watson, Schott etc Be interesting if someone could drag that thread back up.

Gollob was nowhere near good enough and consistent enough during the Rickardsson/Crump/Pedersen era to get close to dominating. Put him on a big wide track with rockets underneath him and he was superb to watch, however as proven season upon season, he wasn't consistent enough to win a world title until Rickardsson had retired, Crump and Pedersen were passed their peak and the overall quality in the line up was well below the standards of previous seasons. I actually liked Gollob a lot, in full flight a joy to watch and had that aura about him. But to consider him in the same breath as the likes of Ricko, Pedersen, Crump, Hancock is ridiculous.

Awesome. Even better after his ban than before too.
-
The gap has got smaller year on year and is now closer than ever and until the top boys get enticed to come back, the gap will only close more.
-
At least they are trying something. Heeps has been absolutely pathetic all season.
-
Just read the other day that 10k kept them going for a couple of meetings, surely cant be doing that all season ?? In all honesty when back at home i never had near enough money to even help save Newport but dont think many did, crowds were appalling . And yeah grumpy AF as we have just entered lockdown 6.0 because of 8 cases.
-
Ps who is Freddie? Or did you mean Frank Smart ha
-
I only loved the middle tier cos thats what I was brought up on and only ever seen every week as well as the Mavericks in the conference but for me those Premier League days with the likes of giedde stoney carr wilson wato cunningham Coles. Pickering etc were brilliant days even when we lost most weeks, a long long way ahead of what we are seeing these days.

Plymouth v Edinburgh Tuesday 3rd August
Pinny replied to BobC's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Most passes at Edin are done by away riders moving off the line and being passed by the home rider. Its how the sport works. If all away riders stayed on the right line then it would be rare the home riders got by them. most racing is produced from away riders gating , getting in front then hitting the wrong line then the home riders getting through. -
Can see Poole winning the league to be fair be interesting to see Shovvys thoughts on the second tier now , he seems well into it given his input on here .

You set yourself up for that Blobby, most passes wouldnt happen if the rider being passed rode a better line. What a ridiculous comment from you
