  1. Yawn. You wont elaborate anymore because you simply do not know anymore.
  2. I reckon you were stood on your head violently at birth for a few minutes but it certainly hasnt helped.
  3. Yes I would of replAced an out of form GP rider with the EL top dog, makes sense. And start them both in every race with Bewley as reserve if anything went wrong. lambert has been flying all season and should of joined Tai from the start without a doubt
  4. Behave yourself you clown. Lamberts the top EL rider this season so including him as just as a reserve was an insult, he should of been in the main team from the get go with Bewley as reserve. Did you understand that or do you need it spelt out better for you as I have noticed on some of your previous posts you seem a bit thick between the ears?
  5. Rob Mac making a twit of himself as usual, more to the point in regards to this forum, what does he bring to the table? Absolutely sod all. Sad old anoraks like him are the reason speedway is classed as such an un-cool sport. could do without the likes of him, gustix, white knight etc on this forum.
  6. Woffy and to a lesser extent Lambert superb over the course of the week, but make no mistake, in the final Woffy should of been trying everything to get Lambert into third. Not slagging the guy off, but this is a pairs event. was quite a let down to be honest, considering how well he had team rode up to that point.
  7. Brilliant by GB, why on earth Lambert wasnt named in the main team from the off is odd considering the form he has been in this season.
  8. Barkers form seems to of picked up recently though? do agree tho, he should have at least two decent bikes of his own considering his expierience. Seems to of gone downhill ever since leaving Plymouth , where he was quite simply superb. Assume he had top sponsorship there which has now gone?
  9. Or maybe what he meant was three times the profit he makes per home meeting
  10. Iversen has, barring 2017, been a loyal servent to UK speedway since 2003 and Doyle has been ever since he came over. I must say Doyle seems to of distanced himself from the other Aussies and it has worked wonders for him. He just seems to love speedway no matter where he is riding and good on him. Always liked him and cant see him ever missing a UK season unless rules dont allow, he gets injured or retires.
  11. i see concretors covering an area of around 1200m2 with plastic on a regular basis in australia to stop any potential rain ruining their surface.... the next day they come in after a huge downpour and their concrete has a perfect finish on it. I am sure someone could come up with a proper system to cover tracks. Maybe covering the actual track in it first then use Najjers idea of clipping another layer from the fence down to the centre green? all it would take someone with a “well sort it attitude” rather than someone who gives up at the first hurdle.
  12. It doesnt really matter, Poole were the club that brought him to the UK, set him up and ultimately he became world champ.
  13. I remember being told the season before that Holder was being brought over by Poole and thats what happened. My argument is not many riders are found as complete novice rookies and go on to be world class all under the guidance of one club/manager. Fords talent spotting has always been good, look at the amount of foreign riders he has brought in to these shores who were relatively unknown at the time... Lindback, Andersen, Cegielski, Madsen... im sure theres plenty more too.
  14. What on earth are you talking about? Go and play with traffic would ya?! and yes Hyabb your right, I always thought his prime was around 03ish but stand corrected.
  15. Adams spent the best part of a decade riding elsewhere and reaching his peak before returning to Swindon though didnt he?
  16. And who was it who brought Holder to the UK ? Poole and let IOW use him until he was EL ready.
  17. How do you know? Its like saying Lindgren could of been signed by Belle Vue and developed into the same rider as he is now. The fact is when Poole signed Magic he had been a second string for a few years . When he left Poole he was a 9 point number one. Darcy Ward and Holder were signed as second strings and both eventually became number ones. None of those three were anything like number ones when they joined Poole so how can you say they would of done that wherever they rode? Youll never know.
  18. Maybe on twitter having a live show off “@hornygirlf**k”?
  19. only a matter of time before one of these Aussie knobheads pick on the wrong fan and get a hiding imo, maybe thats the best thing that could happen as it may mean a few of them think again before acting mr hard man. the current crop of Aussies seem to think their untouchable and gods gift, a huge difference from the days of Crump, Adams, Sullivan, Wiltshire etc who were on the whole model professionals and a lot more talented too.
  20. But wasnt maintained and was let go which is when Poole picked him up as a second string and a fairly average one at that. ward and Janowoski were signed as second strings by Poole and both left as world class number ones... as was Holder although he has been to the top and is on the way back down. How many clubs actually bring a rider on from a rookie all the way to a world class rider?
  21. Well what clubs have brought on a rider to be world class from the start then out of todays crop of clubs then? Wolves with Lindgren is one, who else?
  22. Think Middleditchs time as a good TM are gone now but there is no doubt he brought on some of those riders mentioned. darcy ward turned up as a young, raw talent whod just topped the league averages in the tier below but grew as a rider under Middleditch and was world class before long. Janowski also made marked improvements under Middleditch at Poole. i think Poole can claim a lot of responsibility for bringing on chris Holder as well... i believe they spotted him and brought him over as an asset and loaned him free of charge to the IOW until he was ready for EL action. He was then brought in as a second string and the rest is history. no doubt Ford and Middleditch have been the most successful promoter/manager combo in the last 20 years or so but have to feel there time could be up, a lot of there success was based on bringing in riders who would add huge chunks to their figures and that doesnt seem to happen anymore.... either the assessed riders averages arent as low anymore or the talent just doesnt want to come, or both.
  23. Nilsson for Harris would definately bolster the team, Harris normally gets going by now but simply isnt doing it. Nicholls has actually been top drawer this season and KK decent-ish , the rest probably wouldnt be a loss if they were dropped .
  24. Thomsen could be a good shout in fairness and would be on a low average.
