  1. If RS continues is his only hope, on merit, a few others have now gone past him in the pecking order.
  2. I wonder if it might be time for a bit if a reboot. More riders may see Wolves as an option over Sweden as things decline there and Morris may be past his sell by date. Might be worth looking at the better Danes coming through the ranks as wolves historically tapped that market well. Kemp has been a massive disappointment in PL and CL and will need to be careful he isn't the new Bickley, back to NDL as main league. Flint is worth progressing with. I wonder if they have rising star scheme again they might be able to entice Gilkes or Edwards. Certainly not any worse than Kemp.
  3. If he hadn't wet his pants at a soft spot at Plymouth 4 weeks ago they'd have at least one less thing to worry about.
  4. There is a precedent. 2017 NDL Play off final 13 heats at Eastbourne result stood after fog 15 heats at Belle Vue. Belle Vue won on aggregate had 2 more home races.
  5. Like all of those conned in to travelling to Poole the other week when Danny garçon called it off 45 mins before start time.
  6. Matt's singing him the French version of le Danny garçon... Its getting close to his bedtime
  7. Danny forgot he's not at Poole where the refs do what they are told. Have to excuse him he gets altitude sickness when he gets past Oxford
  8. Pro rata that at 1 point per heat advantage to Glasgow. Thay take a 15 point lead to Poole Fairest way no one can complain at that
  9. Enjoyable for the neutral so far. Brennan becoming a bit of a diva re damp tracks though. Nichol really has disappointed last 2 seasons. I was told though he has a degenerative problem in neck/shoulder area that is painful and not helping him.
  10. Our season has finished Got to stay occupied Poole baiting is so easy Trolls can't stop biting
  11. So how many this season? 9 league, 3 summer Cup, 1 koc Plus a few add ons Go figure
  12. Back to the topic I predict a 49 to 41 monarchs win at armadale Then a 48 to 42 Lions win at Leicester. I just feel masters and pickering swing it home and away in key heats at the end.
  13. Lot of talk about the Thompsons and possibility of splitting them up. I don't think either has kicked on quite as many expected. I do wonder if splitting teams would help them find their own levels and identities and levels and kick the Danjoe image It can't have been easy for their parents with double the costs so made sense to reduce the travel costs and other costs. I think both can still reach significantly higher levels but time waits for no one and this winter might be time to split and stand on their own 2 feet.
  14. Don't help when you have Lawson fencing opposition riders most weeks, especially Danes!
  15. It will be interesting to see what they come up with regards Team Limits. It may be better to focus on certain segments as well as any overall limit if the League were same numbers as now. E.G A max figure for 3 heat Leaders / or not allowed more than 2 over say 7.5, just to equal up strengths. However, if a few Clubs who have run in 2022, don't make it to tapes in 2023, and at least 1 moves up, and no one new comes in to CL , they may be able to increase points limit and have a more competitive League with slightly fewer Clubs Would an example 2 Leagues of 8 Clubs ( or a 7 and a 9) with Home and Away twice and no micky mouse summer add ons and a KOC be an option? 15 meaningful Home Fixtures guaranteed with 8 Clubs and Home and Away twice?
  16. Board of Directors then. They fulfil management committee functions do they not?
  17. Usually a place on the management committee is earned. A number of years as a Promoter, nominated and seconded and voted on. Then along comes Danny King in his first full season as a Promoter, on the Management Committee in the same year. 2021. Can't think of anyone who has ever done that before. The number and calibre may not be what it was but on a management committee in any sport iand Speedway in year one is completely unheard of. Ford not King of course
