  1. I watched the first round of the World Under 21 Championship yesterday and there were three passes ( after the first half lap ) in the whole meeting and just as is mentioned above, the track allowed the very best of the worlds "young guns" NO chance of racing - just to take part in a high-speed procession. Thankfully I did not travel all the way to Lublin to watch it. There might as well have been 50 one lap races to decide the result. The track was far from conducive to allow riders to demonstrate their willingness to race by giving them a decent track on which to use different lines and their racing brains.
  2. The word dire crops up so often that the word racing should be dropped from the title of "Speedway racing". And the intractability of promoters to accept that that is the case and is at the heart of what is driving people away from the sport. Interest dies for the majority when there is no "racing" part of speedway racing. When will the BSPA wake up and see that unless the quality of racing improves extinction looms for UK speedway?

  3. Or fewer blobs on the programme from elsewhere in the team. There were far too many last places.
  4. Q is indeed for "questioning " and does not now carry the same connotation as queer did in days gone by. Gay is strictly for gay men. I think we should have H for hetero or we will be left out and need to mount a campaign for recognition! Sorry, those us who regard ourselves as heterosexual.
  5. That's it then if Buster buys Poole and gets Sheffield included ( and "promotes" them ) he almost has enough for the 2020 Premier League on TV ( never boring ). Wolverhampton will go on regardless it seems but Belle Vue are shaky. Very nearly enough to fulfil the Grand Design of Mr Chapman. In fact if BV pulled out and Buster could buy Leicester ( and promote them, of course, he could because it would be his league! ) it would cut down on travelling costs, especially if Swindon hang on in there it's a nice Midlands-ish map. Coming soon to a country near you! Rider control and costs in one Iron Fist.
  6. That sounds simply perfect, so little need to be concerned about indecision.
  7. I was too embarrassed to admit that I didn't know what a slider was in case it had something to do with one's LGBTQ status.
  8. Clubs are now so cheap to buy ( not quite 10 a penny ) but cheap enough for Buster to buy them all up ( those that want to sell ). And Hey Presto we get that Great Co-ordinator we have all longed dreamed of. All will be well for Dreamland passengers. What could go wrong?
  9. Distinct Dilemma whichever sport you support ( or just lounge casually looking cool ). I like those trousers which unzip ( NO, not there ) and convert the leg length. Mine are a dark green ( from Japan ) NOT camo. Phew back on thread. Sorry about that slip, it must be my age.
  10. Get a life really! never mind a hobby. Bloody extreme anoraks. If you venture more than 30 miles away from a track and ask a "Pointless " question - 'can you name any three British World Speedway Champions - you would struggle to find one in 100 who could answer and probably one in 1,000 if they are under 50 years old. If under 20 they are likely to ask if you could ask the question again in English. Never mind that very hard S.S. question - "where was the current World Champion born?". In five years time, they will be almost extinct. Possibly extinct as will that UK sport - what's it called again? Much more exciting sports have taken hold in the hearts and minds of people across the UK.
  11. And that alone should raise the asking price to over 10k - a bit too high for Buster to add it to his portfolio of clubs.
  12. If his name were Peter, it's quite likely. Certainly, someone is on the Ipswich, King's Lynn, Peterborough Merry Go Round jig a jig.
  13. And with 12 - 14 from the others, tantalisingly close to 40.
  14. Don't whisper too soon! I think it will be much closer than many expect.
  15. Ove Fundin in to replace Kildemand ( too wimpish ) and Michael Lee allowed to come in at reserve ( reduced average due to injuries ). Passed on to me by ZR.
  16. That is banter by the way for those who are unsure! My voice when I am there is still one of the loudest for - Go L A M B O Go! ( Lambert R. that is. ) The noise of the fans is one of the missing things this century ( moan moan) Real fans we were in those days, ready for at least a good shoving match if rarely a ruck - sadly now they could push me over in a trice and I can't pick up my walking frame to hit the Bees Buggers with!. Not that there any Bees Buggers to hit. And those fan-generated chants and bawdy songs on the coaches to away matches armed with sturdy banners! Those were the days!
  17. Norfolk Born and Norfolk Bred - we are ( me too) and proud of it. No noisy squit like the Ispwich s**ts. Get Back Underground!
  18. If it is posted by Zagar Racing you must know by now that it is most likely one of his odd speedway fantasies. Perhaps a daydream.
  19. Which fact, if linked to the success of the NSS in attracting decent crowds - on any night inc Monday, perhaps indicates the even more pessimistic possibility that speedway racing in the UK now excites a tiny proportion of those willing to pay to see live sport.
  20. Mr Webb, you know that us critics have so many more critics because we criticise often ( usually quite fairly ) and some characters are SO Beloved ( by one or two at Saddlebow Road ) that we get even more stick, should we criticise them, even if by accident. Even I didn't pick up on the fact that you might have slighted "my" Robert!
