I'm not recommending any such thing, it was a tongue in cheek reply to SS claim no fans from Manchester made the Long journey to Dorset on Thursday night , Maybe read all replies before you post ...?

Apparently one Pirates fan ( BLACKHEART ) believes Aces have ..." Big problems with Jaimon Lydsey " ? Unbelievable

Who in their right mind would make a 500 mile round trip, on Thursday to watch speedway on 'that' circuit ?

Well done Pirates on a deserved victory , Re BV, hard to explain why coach loads of Aces fans didn't make the trip to Dorset on a Thursday night ? From what I've read on here the racing was top notch

Shocking performance from the Aces tonight at Poole, changes required ?

Lydsey never seen the track before tonight, " big problems " ? ...what a ridiculous thing to say

46-44 either way at NSS , followed by easy Wolves victory at Monmore Wells early season form is a worry

Strange to read 'some' Ipswich fans completely ignoring the fact its only Dan Bewley's 3rd competitive outing Since sustaining serious injuries ?,

I’m sorry but Craig having CRS ( for example) wrote in white as opposed to yellow or blue would have no effect on how professional the Panthers looked on TV, im not taking sides in this argument, I just can’t believe with the problems facing this sport , a promoter and a top British rider would find the colour of the font on Kevlars this important !!

Well switching it around , why is Buster so adamant riders individual sponsors have to be in plain white ? For the life of me I can’t understand either party’s stance on this ???

Surely a rider should be allowed to get maximum coverage for his sponsors , as long as it doesn’t interfere with the official team sponsor of course, I’m sure some compromise could have been reached here? , Strange how Cook never had problems like this at BV though?

Christ almighty... riders need individual sponsorship to earn a living in the sport ! this “ f*** you get a another part time job” attitude is exactly why British Speedway is on its knees , Belle Vue ‘ RENTRUCK ‘ Aces have never had this problem telling their riders what they can or can’t have on their Kevlars , so why are Peterborough? .....

Fail to see why any of this is Craig Cooks fault ?, without individual sponsorship, riders like Cook wouldn’t be able to make a living in the sport , ..... The priority over sponsor name placement was never an issue at Belle Vue and I’m sure it isn’t at most other teams ? ...

You're not stating 'true facts' though are you ? you're just giving your opinion on the people who run BV , which is fine by the way. The reason BV crowds are down and we're working on a shoestring is nothing to do with Adrian Smiths perceived shortcomings as a businessman But because the sport in general is in such a perilous position ,

Ipswich all round double winning team from 84 deserves a mention , Sanders and Knight 1-2 Cook and Doncaster 5-4 But Kai Niemi ( replacing Siggy ) was a revelation at the number 3 position Great team !. ..Back on topic, I'd say Wolves have the strongest 3 on paper

Brilliant , absolutely brilliant ! Thanks for posting SS

Makes you wonder how speedway survived during the 70s / 80s without 'team kevlars' ? I'd much prefer it if every team went back to race jackets TBH

If Belle Vue can't make a success of things with that race track and those facilities , then the sport in this country really is in trouble ...

For some strange reason he’s removed the most important part of the thread , namely the actual team line ups for 2019 ???

Aces 6th ... Really? , not sure what you're basing that on? But its a prediction thrread , needless to say i hope you're wrong

Very true , Max should firmly establish as out and out number 1 this year, and hopefully a fully fledged GP rider

That wouldn't exactly be a prediction then would it ?

Had the Aces finishing 5th initially , but Max early form down under and with Lydsey also showing promise , Might have to rethink my predictions ?

From what I've read about Jaimon Lydsey, should be able to put +2 on his starting average .

I agree Max could be slightly ahead of Kurtz and Holder , but I'd also add Poole have a fine spearhead in those two . Should be an exciting season for both Aces and Pirates fans
