  1. Who can take Bunyans rides, as I don't have the Rye House averages.
  2. Always enjoyed watching James Wright, because he didn't gate very often, but always tried 100% every lap of every race. There are a fair amount of foreign riders who are a lot worse, & are still getting a wage over here. If he did decide to make a comeback, he would get my vote over them.
  3. Was awful for Panthers about 7 years ago & suffered a serious injury. Anybody know what his form has been like recently ?
  4. He keeps getting employed by various owners, but our fortunes changed for the better when Sully took over as team manager last season. Don't think Blayne will have the same effect this year.
  5. Fair point Crump 99. Just watched the lads have a few laps, & they all looked pretty sharp. Will get a better idea tuesday when they are up against 3 other riders.
  6. Crump 99, you could have had your tea at home, & a couple of cokes, the whole evening would have cost you a tenner. Enjoyed the evening, & thought that Swales was hilarious when he refused to tell us the riding order & then changed his mind 10 minutes later, only to then not know it himself.
  7. Bullet, the only bit of your post I agree with is the fact I got the name of the team wrong. Thats not to say you are wrong, because we all have different opinions. That's what makes this forum interesting for the majority of the users.
  8. Why not do both. Think a good crowd tonight sends out a positive message to the new owners. I will be thanking them all personally tonight because I don't think I could follow any other team full time, & whatever problems Speedway has, I have missed it over the last few months & cant wait to get started again.
  9. Montie, my attitude towards British riders is probably better than yours. I have sponsored one rider for the last 4 years, & helped a few others with driving etc. My team is Peterborough,( the clue is in my user name lol ), but I go to a lot of other tracks including Mildenhall. To call them poxy because you dont agree with my opinion, is a bit childish.My honest opinion is that the Saints team should be in the MDL, but thats all it is, my opinion.
  10. Hope the new management get a good response for the meet the riders evening later. Be interesting who KKS chooses to stalk this year lol.
  11. Agree with you HT, & can guarantee that I wont be going to Mildenhall when the Saints are due in town. Be interesting to see how long some of the new lads last if they are continually off the pace, & earning hardly any money.
  12. Got to know Rob Godfrey a little bit last season, & have to say his enthusiasm & efforts are second to none when it comes to helping British youngsters. My opinions are more to do with the National League, & its continued improvement. A team desperately short of being competitive is not good for the league in my opinion. The riders mentioned didn't all progress from 3 pointers to good riders in the same team in the same season, & it isn't realistic to expect it to happen next season.
  13. Would you pay to watch that team come to your track though ? I certainly wouldn't because they wont be competitive.
  14. If the new promoters do read this thread, they need to keep a close eye on the security. Last season I was threatened by one of them for standing on a yellow line, & when I complained to the head of security, he justified it by saying that I had smirked at him. The same numpty had earlier put me in the casino car park because he was on his mobile phone & wasn't paying attention to where he was sending me.
  15. Hope you are right Bagpuss, & agree that Lewis could surprise a few people this year. Has certainly got some top engines under him.
  16. If it helps make them more competitive, then I think age shouldn't be a barrier. If the team of 3 pointers are getting thrashed every week, it could affect the confidence of the riders. Is Steve Jones any better than Lee Dicken ? He was only an example by the way.
  17. MattR, whats the weather like in Finland in May ? Also, how does the price of drink & food compare to England ?
  18. Ordered my season ticket, & cant wait for the season to start. Looks a very competitive League to me, & think we should see plenty of close matches. Bring it on !!
  19. Haven't enjoyed my last 2 trips to Loomer Road, because the track had very little shale on it, & was poorly prepared. Can live with the sticky carpet in the bar, & filthy toilets if the action on the track is good. If the current owners did walk away, I don't think there would be many people prepared to take over.
  20. Good luck to the Saints, but feel that they should go with at least 3 riders who are established National League riders. Can see them getting beaten by huge margins, especially away. Must add that their options aren't great with the riders that are still available. Would big Lee Dicken be interested in riding ?
  21. All the people tipping Panthers to win the fours obviously don't realise Dryml isn't available.
  22. The money is paid in advance, which is good for any business, & if results go against you, you will still have most season ticket holders attending meetings. Seems common sense to make season tickets good value at all tracks in my opinion.
  23. What about Panthers £250, you can compare that, & it includes parking.
  24. I feel extremely fortunate to be reasonably fit & healthy. Any help that can be given to anyone with disabilities & any carers would be welcomed by me. If that puts me in the minority, then its a sad world we now live in.
