Bald Bloke

My thoughts if I’m honest

My thoughts too.

At 61, he makes Crump look like a spring chicken

I think Tofty will probably get the no.2 race jacket. That's a good looking side, and I think Buster for all his faults ( I know about the BB farce) has put together a strong team for 2020. That isn't a making up the numbers side. It's a strong side all the way through, including strong reserves.( with around 4.80 for the no.7 spot). If they all stay fit you have yourself a play off side imho.

This article is from 2019. Might be of interest to someone. https://amcn.com.au/editorial/grid-talk-seth-crump/

He has 2 new Ashtech engines waiting. But as you say, age, inactivity, and fitness maybe against him. It will affect him to some extent, but I guess we will have to wait and see how much. Gating could be the key for him. After 8 years he will be trying to find all the setups again as quick as he can. Might hinder him away from Foxhall. I was surprised with the high average he was given. 7-7.5 would of been fair I think. Great for British speedway that he's back, and I wish him the best, but I would rather NKI if I had a choice out of the two..

Buster has a blade and the AFA is as smooth as, but very grippy. Peterborough has been really fast, last season, but some meetings have had great racing( by other admissions). Buster can provide a smooth fast track....But it can't be down to the clay content alone , because the Showground has had some good meetings with passing last season. Is it do much dirt ,to much water and to much packing ? What is your view.

I see Poole have 6 riders kevlars sponsored.. I make it they will need another 4 at best by the end of the season

It's one of those TBH. If you pick a rider to win outright, the odds can be short. But he can have some bad rounds and still win the title. But with round winners you can pick a rider on form or who has a good record on a certain track, but if the have a bad one the bet is gone. It can't be recovered.It's whatever you prefer at the end of the day.. Each to their own.

To know who you want, and to get them is a different matter.

Calm down. It's a typo.

Thanks Badge.

Thinking of Danny's family and friends on his funeral day, today (Valentines day ). Ride free Fella x

6.59

Your not hinting at Buster are you? Nothing to do win him at all..

Judging by the article about the funeral, the after "party"(not a wake) and the fact that they asked for bright colours as well, with Danny's favourite colour being pink, I think a minutes applause would be fitting Baldy.

I would of thought 4,000, but found this... Stadium Capacity: 8, 000 Mildenhall Greyhound Stadium is a 280yard ... Mildenhall can accommodate an 8, 000 strong crowd and has parking spaces for over ...

Yep. More so called health and safety issues. Man with some cones is the best bet.

Does anyone have an idea of the average he would come in on.

Thanks MMX. That's great

Whats this REF. Is it new, and is it to help your riders ?

Calm down . Don't get your hopes up, but on the right average he would still be good for British speedway and the Panthers. Would still put a few bums on seats if it happened.

Could I remind you that it's Peterborough Panthers and not Pirates

I was thinking the same thing the other day. It can't be his last one, so who knows. I think he would average 9.00 at the Showground once dialled in, and probably 7 away from home at this stage in his career ?. I would of thought 7.5 would be fair, maybe

Well done that Lady
