CLRC 15/9/24 @ Redcar
KIRKYLANE replied to Biffa's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
Enjoyable meeting with plenty of good racing as opposed to the crap SGP yesterday. well done Josh with a spectacular final race -
From what I recall, the semis and finals are there to create a climax to the meeting which is greatly favoured by those filming the series and the sponsors. in the old format two bad rides and there would be no chance of getting in the top 3. if we are having a series, then I think the present format is fine

Scunthorpe v Oxford 1st leg semi final
KIRKYLANE replied to scunny1's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Most enjoyable meeting with good racing from both sides. Over the season I must say that Ashton Boughen has been the most impressive British youngster who is very early in his career. He has produced some excellent moves to pass experienced riders. Oxford have a great prospect on their books. -
Most sensible approach

Ipswich vs Leicester play off Semi-final 9th Sept
KIRKYLANE replied to ShanoXtra's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Leicester must be favourites for the aggregate win. They have recently hit good for as opposed to the inconsistencies of early season. Ipswich yet again hit by severe bad luck to say the least. -

Enjoyable racing.Shame Dan and Robert were on 2 and 3 in the semi …the worst gates. still think Bartos has a big enough lead to retake the title. -
The most dangerous riders
KIRKYLANE replied to Youhave2minutes's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I remember a quality rider being quoted as saying. “ the one thing you do not do is try and go round Nicki Pedersen “ Pedersen would see a gap and go for it irrespective of any consequences of a possible crash as the gap would be regarded as too risky by most riders. -

Josh is a great racer so will blossom on our track -
Plaudits for Tom Brennan for all his efforts and scoring 4 points. He did himself proud. well done

As much as it is obvious that the NSS would bea great venue and racetrack, the FIM would not sanction it due to the low capacity attendance

Championship Pairs Oxford 16th August 2024
KIRKYLANE replied to Triple.H.'s topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
As much as I admire Scott, I felt the decision was correct. Two riders giving it there all in the final. Scott locked up slightly on the bend and it left Charles with nowhere to go. Great shame that it ended as it did with the crash… I feel sure Scott could have got second… but then the result would likely be 6 - 3 to Redcar anyway. There is bound to be a lot of people on both sides of the fence. -
Great to see Tate is signing for 2025.Excellent move

Berwick v Workington CL 10/08/24 7-00pm
KIRKYLANE replied to Normski's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Not unexpected…one of the poorest tracks in the country by far. biggest track in the country coupled with a complete lack of any quality racing. only passing occurred when a rider left an outside gap on the bend which allowed the rider behind to go round and pass.. otherwise ride the boards and no one will pass you. I never went to Berwick for a one off meeting… always went to Edinburgh on Friday, Glasgow on Sunday and fitted Berwick in the middle. When they had the track outside Berwick town , they had a brilliant track .I remember seeing the Aces there -
Sheffield v Ipswich 8th August
KIRKYLANE replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
sincerely hope Emil has not sustained a serious injury. he is a wonderful rider to watch and admire. Best wishes to Emil -
Many years ago, Hull had two riders in the race after two exclusions. The Hull riders rode around in the rerun. The two Hull riders were both excluded for not making a bona fide attempt to race Result…0 - O score for the race
