Bwitcher we have had some good debates over the years and ive rarely had a good debate with stevebrum BUT he has a good point. Lots of riders outscore others abroad, look at Mjj. Averaged more than many world class riders in sweden and poland yet hasnt in the uk. Have no doubt larsen would be quality in the el and probably would outscore the fading lindgren and JK.

In all fairness to brum, i think what he means hes yet to prove himself as a good nimber one in the uk yet. But i still think he would be quality in the el in its current state. But we wont know until he ever returns i suppose.

Pk or bjerre, both would be top dog in this league.

He was always quality at Newport, not many were a threat to Watson and Henriksson in the 99 season. But he was, he was superb. He guested for us many times that season. As did Neville Tatum. What ever happened to him?!

Which PL rider do you wish you had signed? Michael Coles. Wish we had signed him in 2000 as a replacement for one of Wato/Smart when they went EL and to Swindon respectively. He always rode Newport well. We did however sign him in 2005 (ish) but was well, well past his sell by date then. Adam Sheilds is another - was quality in the PL for the IOW and heard he was in talks one season with Tim Stone. Sadly never happened. Had your team been EL who would have been your Number One? Would of loved Jason Crump, his father was once a Wasp and JC was generally outstanding in the EL. Who would have most likely been your Number One? Probably David Howe :lol: Most Exciting signing at PL Level? Got to be Frank Smart, his first season with us he was pretty wild and inconsistent due to poor machinery but after his drugs ban, he had superb machinery off Mallett and was exciting as well as a powerful scorer. Used to pass top riders for fun around QM. Whatever happened to the once strong PL? Same as the rest of British Speedway - its fallen on its arse!

What a tosspott b havelock is. How can you expect to loan other riders yet insist on your riders going on loan to another club?! A knob of the highest order

Heard rumours not long ago that a speedway track was planned for the site. If and when it opens though!

Cant believe so many people are biting to "IvehadtomanySNACKS" posts! He comes on here to simply disagree with the majority to cause a stir. Hes very much the same as the white knight, a fat sad old man who hasnt had a bit of fun in decades so comes on a forum to argue with people.

Clifton in his day was quality in the NL. If hes come back with decent bikes and is serious, i see no reason why he cant average around 6 even after a big lay off ! Is there any footage of him online since he made his comeback?

Surely he would of only left rye to sign for leicester?

How on earth is luke clifton a risk on a 3.00 average?!

Been nearly a fortnight now since the klindt to leicester rumours started, isit actually true or is it just that, rumours?

Why you discussing this here? As taylor poole is a scunny rider, shouldnt you be discussing this on the aussie speedway thread?

Whats the real Mr Blobby up to these days? Im sure hed score more points than mitchell davey

Mitchell f*****g davey?! how the hell can an aussie whos been riding in the uk for the best part of a decade line up as a 3.00 NL reserve, has he ever even rode in the nl?! Total joke if this is allowed to happen.

Look how well he done in poland tho in the top league. Id wager he would average ten if he signs for pboro.

Screeny didnt last long as sheffield manager did he?!

That team will take some stopping if bjerre signs. Hell average 10 no problem, nbj has plenty of scope for improvement whilst id expect a freshly prepared Grondal to clean up from reserve. Add in ostergaard whos always going to average 8, i think this side could, injury free, go all the way. That is assuming its bjerre and not someone like porsing.

Leicester should be heavily fined if they field that team above. Walasek, wozniak, compton, klindt, stead, starke and auty. What a disgraceful team. How are they struggling to field a team when their probably the third best supported club in the el? Are they actually struggling or is dh being a tight ass?

Also make sure the doctor stays clear of the bar 😂

Yet some claim compton was a safe rider 😂

Didnt he cause that horrific injury to Dave mullett at reading all those years ago?

Sure that was in 01 when neathy was riding for newport? Wasnt it something to do with Smithy (aussie scott smith) and rob grants partying antics? Certainly was some dodgy rumours about what they were getting up to whilst on one particular night out!!!

It seems to me, the Aussies biggest concern is the amount of Chinese coming in. As well as vietnamese, koreans, etc. Although most developers who our company work for are owned by asians, so in a sense the aussies have them to thank for the boom in construction work (in Melbourne at least). Their buying deserted land everywhere here and building six-twelve storey high apartment blocks. If it wasnt for them, we wouldnt have half as much work as we have on at the moment.

Not sure about that, looked a horrible move to me! Always liked phil though, but will admit he was at the least a very ruthless, hard rider. He didnt have the nickname "philthy phil" for nothing !
