  1. what about Billy Janniro to roll back the years,i can see the headlines now!!!!!.Seriously Coventry must have a good asset base of riders to ask,anyone out there no whos on the list and could do the job being asked to fill JKs shoes?
  2. On Linbacks facebooks page he is clearly unhappy about something,just wondered if ghostwalker can clear up the situation.cheers
  3. James Sargent has found a way to make a perfect start,either watching the magnets or he has great reflexes.I do feel sorry for him as hes clearly looking at something on the starting gate that gives him an advantage and hes been well and truelly battered for it.If he is watching the magnets on the starting gate,its the tapes themselves that are causing problems as at some tracks they go up so uneven,look loose,or go up with a bowed effect.In my eyes hes just unlucky that tracks are using naff old equipment,plus refs seem to be focusing on him.
  4. Was thinking along the same lines ,but Chris has had such a rubbishe week,the last thing he wants is me (stone last place!!)to put the mockers on him,so i left him alone.So for the 5th GP running its AJ £30 MORE .Message to AJ "please borrow one of Ashtecs engines he does for emil"!!! he wont notice!!
  5. Until someone has the guts to try it we will never know.Denmark is interesting,for years they were well below every league in the world,with Danish "superstars" like N Pederson just riding for their local clubs,hardly making anything out of it.But now they have a squad system which has come from virtually nothing,with top foreign riders on their books.so how have they done it.Robert Lambert has just signed a short term deal with a swedish div1 club who have a squad system.Where have they got the money from to pay his wages? Pederson is also rides a couple of times in the czech Republic,how do they pay him?You just cant say its too expensive to have a squad system in the uk,go out and find ways of making it happen like the people in the examples above have done.
  6. Are sky allowed to interview the ref after the meeting? Can team managers come out after the meeting and tell the media what R Allan said to them regarding the double exclusion in heat 12? Will refs speak to fans after the meeting to clear situations up? Is there a referees report per match,where a ref has to say what actions he takes during heats? Like a lot of other people im completely confused what Ronnie Allan did in heat 12.if any of the above can happen it would clear the situation up straight away.
  7. Lakeside have called up Max fricke,and the rye house pair Luke Bowen and Kyle Hughes................emmmmmmmm Info courtesy of the POOLE WEBSITE!!!!!
  8. I was thinking would it now be possible to have the grand prix series in the winter months,some of my reasons are; 1 A lot more multi use stadiums around then ever before,with roofs that it doesnt matter what time of year the GPs are as it will always be on. 2 Australia instead of being last ,can kick of the series if the Gp is a succes ,if this years event is good for the country.Maybe even 2 Gps there with New zealand back on the calender.USA,Argentina maybe as well. 3 League racing in the uk will be much more stable in terms of racing regularly(weekly) on the clubs race night.Also allows clubs to maybe race on a saturday in the summer which could be good business for them. 4 Still have Gps in europe at stadiums with no roof,but make sure the venue has covers,correct equipment,etc There has to be a better way to fit the Gps around the bread and butter league racing in this country,i for one just cant get into the season with so much start/stop racing with big gaps with league fixtures,and to be honest im losing any interest in who is leading the league tables in this country ,and for the first time ever i havnt a clue what teams have got what points and where they are in the league table.This year i only go to watch speedway live,ive no interest in league tables etc,which is very rare for me to say,i just hope i see a good meeting.
  9. Very strange meeting from ALL somerset riders,it looked liked someone had hpnotized them before the meeting started,or they had just spent hours on the beach sunbathing and thought they would just rock up to this meeting,very strange. R Worrel -In his first heat ive never seen anyone so focused on the green light,so focused he forgot to watch the tapes go up!!! Bradly kurtz seems to be dialled in at Sheffield every week,but looks to have forgot the quickist way round Somerset!!! L Lanham Never at the races and getting in his teamates way. Josh G -looks like he still has his mind on the Lewis Kerr injury,which is a shame as hes been very good all year. All in all one of the worst team performances of the season from somerset,very strange that so many riders were off key.
  10. Yes maybe Doyle did turn left a bit earlier then normal,we agree on that but he had to take a tight line because of his team mate on the outside.yes Doyle maybe should of been more aware as ive said earlier,but Nicki had made up his mind sometime yesterday that he was coming(in a straight line)no matter what,with no get out plan.You cant just do that when you are not in the lead,with the home riders in front of you,and expect to get away with it,Doyle had every right to move across and Nicki should really have waited for a better chance to path.
  11. I can see where you are coming from,and Doyle should have been more aware,but when you are trying to team ride and are in front you just cant barrow into someone and hope to get away with it.Its a difficullt one and i normally stick up for Nikki ,but he was asking for trouble making that move,and in my eyes had to go.
  12. A major point in what happened,was Doyle knew his partner was with him and wasnt going at fall speed INTO the corner as he was trying to let his partner into the corner first,i think he was more thinking about that rather then expecting Nikki to steam under him.!!(not a wise thing to do!!!!)Nikki rightly excluded,end of matter,just tough racing
  13. Depends how you look at Zagar being in the wrong place at the wrong time with the crash!! Yes he was unlucky to be involved BUT WAS HE lucky in that heat as his steel shoe had already came loose just after the start,so where would he have finished if the race had continued?
  14. iLL most proberly get shot down for saying this ,but im sick and tired meetings being pushed through so they can get a result if 10 heats are raced.For once i think the ref Dave Robinson had the bulls to get down to the pits and make the decision ,which was to call a halt.So many times ive been at meetings when they just completely rush through to get to heat 10 as fast as possible at all costs, sometimes its just a blur as to what ive paid good money to watch.then once they get to heat 10 they either mess about or call the meeting off straight away.I want to go to a meeting,have a beer, after a days work and enjoy the meeting.In my mind theres nothing worse then rushing through a meeting at supersonic speed.Well down to Dave Robinson in running the meeting as it should be and then making the decision to call a halt regardless of which heat we are at.
  15. Is there a chance Jason might be invited into the Australian GP in some way.Could he get a wildcard?!!!!
  16. Still nothing on the Ipswich website about Tugate and his 21 day ban.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PS -Apart from that the Ipswich website looks very good.
  17. From a neutrals point of view i went into viewing the video with an open mind,but lets be honest here Tugate is 100% guilty of knocking Auty off.How anyone can stick up for him is madness.Facts 1- The number 1 point is that Davies was going to get an easy second place.Tugate was never going to catch him. 2- Tugate was still traveling at a speed where he could easily have broadsided the bike round the corner then shut off down the straight. 3-Davies if anyone was the one that was going to hit Auty but he wasnt even close to Auty.Has Davis said anything about his fellow Aussie as he had the best seat in the house with what happened. 4-I DONT believe Tugate had the intention of hurting Auty,but why he is covering what happened up is making it 10 times worse in my eyes.Be a man go up to Auty,and tell him the true facts that he was annoyed and just wanted a small pay back,where he clashed with Auty in the first running of heat 10. Super camera work by the way as this after heat 10 clash could so easily have been missed.
  18. I remember Joe Screen knocking the arm of Jimmy Nielsson (wrong spelling!!) after a race and jimmy fell to the ground but i dont remember what Joe Screen got in the way of a punishment,anyone remember?
  19. Anyone know approx how much the loan fee Poole are getting from Swindon for Ward? Can Matt Ford charge whatever he wants or is there some kind of ceal?
  20. There are words flying about with people calling redcar cheats,but everyone was happy before the meeting started that everything was correct and in order.Now the meeting is live,both teams start 0-0, and everything to play for.The fact Kus wins heat 8 should have nothing to do with it,its just sour grapes that somerset tried to protest,right or wrong everyone was happy to race,and if i was the somerset team manager i would have taken it on the chin myself,as we all agreed at the start of the meeting that everyhing was correct.
