John Cook Talks A Lot Of Sense
speedwaysliders replied to oldtimer's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I dont understand what mission you are on!!! One guest every now and again is just about bareable,but its getting so stupid now that you really cant defend the amount of guests and the reasons being used to use them. 1.guest for a rider, riding in another country for another of his teams!!(no limit to how many counties a rider can rid in!! 2 Guest for doubleling up riders in the uk who cant be in two places at once.CRAZY How do you explain that,when your making your own problem,its crazy -
John Cook Talks A Lot Of Sense
speedwaysliders replied to oldtimer's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
IN the lakeside programme there is a list of email addresses for each person who works at the club,which is a great idea but ive sent emails suggesting things in the past and only mr sexton has taken the trouble to reply.Jon cook NO replies!!.Ive emailed Jon a number of times with varoius suggestions one being a 13 Heat format,but also have a second half of the meeting that counts towards league points,ie a series of match races or another 4 heats that will keep the fans involved again right to the end if LEAGUE POINTS are again advailable in the second half of the meeting.It might be a crazy idea on my part but to have no feedback from mr cook is very frustrating. I have to say Mark sexton is very good with fans on varoius points ,but when it comes to league racing and people who might be able to change things like mr cook you get nothing back,thats why i think the latest reach out to fans after all these years is aload of rubbish. -
Lakeside V Belle Vue Select 29/5
speedwaysliders replied to Rob B's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
love to know if anyone from re-run videos is reading this,who film right next to Barbara Horley in the refs box, if they were asked by the ref if she could look at the video or have seen therir own footage to clear who won hieat 2.To me if the ref never used the video replay to confirm her decision when the operater is sitting right next to her a few feet away in the same box!!! is 100% wrong and stupid -
I thought there was some kind of swap deal with Adam Shields going to Eastbourne.

You never know whats going on in sports peoples minds,you just have to look at a few sports stars who have struggled when to the outside world they have everything going for them,but what i cant understand is there doesnt seem to be any support from people like Jon Cook at Lakeside who own his contract ,it just seems like Lewis has been left to his own self destruct measures,with only one way to go.He also has a young family to support,so maybe its just getting to much for him at this prescent time.

Swedish Elitserien 2015, Round 3
speedwaysliders replied to Ghostwalker's topic in International World of Speedway
Can you imagine "the terror in Nikki P,s pit crew eyes" as Nikki breaks a chain at the start line and summons his 2nd bike IMMEDIATELY !! to the start line.Man it was a good job they were ready and Nikki won that heat,otherwise i dont know what would happened if Nikki got excluded under 2 mins!!!!! .The pit crew might have gone and hid somewhere until Nikki calmed down!!!!! -

Sheffo's Proctor Out!
speedwaysliders replied to TheScotsman's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
IS there a right to appeal? iF so like everything else in uk law Proctor can ride another 2 seasons before a decision is finally made!!!! Speedway is a sport,proctor cant go round expecting people to give him a position,then the betting authority will be on to him!!! for race fixing.My own view is that Proctor is unlucky to be caught up in all this,hes trying to do a job for his team,he doesnt want to be thinking every race hes got to do this and that to get a work visa,he just wants to race.All these people saying he shouldnt go in heat 15 away from home or do this and that on track are kidding themselves.He just wants to race,earn money and do the best for his team,there shouldnt be added pressure put on him or team mates to do anything other then race.end of. -
Best Pairs Cup
speedwaysliders replied to customhouseregular's topic in International World of Speedway
How Rory s is even allowed to compete for us is just a joke,what about Lewis Kerr or even Roynon for example.Germany gave a place to a rider that races in Germany only,why not give Kerr or Roynon a place,its far better to have them in the team gaining ex,rather then making fools of ourselves with who turned up .Gino M came in to the usa side for ex and did have a couple of good races,so why not ask Ker who has ability or Roynon who has shown ability to race for their country. -

Lakeside V Coventry Friday 1/5/15
speedwaysliders replied to kingbee's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Is stuart Douglas still the owner at Lakeside as heres been very quite recently,anyone seen him around the place lately? -
Have to admit i was quite enjoying the racing and watching Chris Harris handle the track conditions was even more enjoyable,he never looked like making a mistake and just gave it 100%. Some riders acually look for ruts to fire themselves forward.Cant see any reason to blame the ruts,makes it interesting to see riders thinking how to attack the track,and not always racing on a billiard table surface.Anyone know if there was any kind of kerfew in place as to what time the meeting ends,and if the stadium was booked for sunday.I cant think of any other reason to call the meeting off.

Is there no rules set out to get a grand prix standard track?How does the world gov body give clearence on a track that has not been raced on? Seems bonkers to me that they didnt have to have a dress rehearsel with some kind of open meeting in order to get a grand prix standard licence to run the event!!!!

Lakeside V Swindon 10th April 2015
speedwaysliders replied to mdmc82's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
You cant blame lakeside as they were at full strenth,but surely we should follow other countries and have a "squad system" to allow riders to come in at short notice and teams to track riders in their own squad .why are we stuck in our ways and dont see the need to change? Its crazy,i love to know why we dont offer riders in the squad system,is it because of retainers and simply about money?But take Craig Cook for example,hes done great to get a team place in Poland,but he wont ride every sunday,so what kinda contract is he on and why cant we offer similar to overseas riders? -
