Erm- er!! Used to be terrible with that utterance!!!! Bit better now...

He's found his "gating gloves" in his toolbox!

It made it a bit like a "first serve" in tennis..... Howarth, set himself up at the start of that race, knowing he could "push" the anticipating the start to its limit, knowing if he got it right, he would gain a significant advantage to the first corner, if he "Ballsed" it up by touching the tapes, or made an obvious "jump" start, he would be excluded, and for the "2nd" serve, they bring in Pedersen!! Who could also then have "2" serves, at the tapes!!! DEFINATLY NEEDS CHANGING FOR 2017.

Why not Leicester???? Look what happened to Jason Doyle when he came to Leicester, was a Premier League Heat Leader, nothing more.... And now look at him......!!!!!

Swindon - Leicester Sep 1st

The bikes have been constantly upgraded over the years, they are A second A Lap quicker than they were pre 2000, and the tracks have stayed the same, but with less dirt on them.... The tracks were built to handle 2 valve bikes, with plenty of dirt on them, the bikes are so far ahead of the tracks, that's the issue... -
Erm-er wasn't that an "Ermolenkoism"? "Speedway out the top draw"!!!

Wasn't Ludwig injured, so could ride for neither team? Hurt back? -
If Krzysztofs average is about the same, saying he is poor is incorrect, as is saying he has improved!!

So, based on what's been said on here, Alex Hales got a bigger payday in the 4th one day international against Pakistan the other day, because he scored over twice as many runs than any other team member!! I cannot believe that anyone would think that the prize money in the speedway world cup would be divided any other way than an equal percentage for each team member, and perhaps a reduced payment for a non riding reserve....

Then you get water run-off down the track banking, which erodes channels in the racing surface, can be difficult to eradicate in between meetings...

You say that (Rory as replacement for Rob Lyon) But team manager can't be that well paid? And I'm sure Rory still needs to earn a decent wage?

You'll have to fit it inside a dog track, yes? So there will be size issues.. Also, banking might be an issue because the doggies will need to be seen all the way around the track from the main stand? So, the banking won't be allowed to be to high, as it will obstruct parts of the dog track bends..? Just a thought....

To be fair, since we did the track alterations pre season, the racing has been tons better at Leicester, and I am sure, there are fans on here will confirm that.... However, the weather in the run up to this fixture was truly awful.. The track was completely flooded after Saturday's horrendous thunderstorms... On Sunday, we managed to get rid of ALL the laying water by 5pm, only for the heavens to open again!!! And we were back to square one.. Then on Monday morning, on waking it was raining again!! (The only rain cloud in the UK was over Leicester!!!) So, once the rain stopped (around 10.30am) we set about removing the fresh laying rainwater once again, which was done by lunchtime. The rest of the day was spent on shale drying, and relaying the racing surface, which made the track slicker than normal..

Broken finger wouldn't keep him out, but head injury? Did he knock himself out? Because that's a mandatory rest.. I was on that corner, and when I arrived he was trying to sit up.. The impact had knocked off one of the air-vent covers off his helmet, so he defo took a blow to the head.....
