  1. Do the averages that add up to the 11,000 update as the season goes, or is it start of season averages? For example Mateusz Cierniak started the season on 1,250 and I am unsure of his average now, or if he even rode at all for Lejonen, but if he did and he averaged 2,000 over the season for example, Does the 1,250 or the 2,000 count towards the meeting averages? I hope that makes sense...
  2. It's a question I'm sure that's been asked before but... What are the team line up rules for the Swedish league? Do they not need to have a Swedish junior at reserve? Do they need a minimum amount of Swedes named in the raceday team? Cheers
  3. It would be nice to see Workington head up into the Championship and start with them 3 at number 2 and reserves...
  4. Does Berwick have 2 ambulances?? Really? I don't think I've ever heard that mentioned once...
  5. Thought it might have been the case... He was flying at Glasgow on Friday. Thank you
  6. Ashton Boughen will be topping this list very soon. I can't believe how good he is turning out to be, and he's only 15. Very exciting for the future
  7. Speaking of which... I know the ref was rushing the meeting through, but I thought it was a bit harsh to put the 2 minutes on for the riders while Max Perry was still picking himself up on the first bend after a rather nasty looking crash... Luckily he made it to the tapes with seconds to spare, somehow...
  8. Already signed with Glasgow as far as I'm aware
  9. Very disappointed with the Berwick fans around me who cheered as Paul Starke went head first into the safety fence and looked to be in some discomfort. Quotes such as 'serves you right' 'even stevens' and 'that's what you get' were the things I heard. Yes Paul may have taken Connor Coles off a few races prior and Connor was unfairly excluded for it, but shouting things such as that to a rider who is down on the track potentially seriously hurt is disgusting. Although this is what I've come to expect from the Berwick fans, so it's hardly surprising... Always were like that when they visited Brough. Few baduns spoil it for the rest I know. Luckily Paul wasn't seriously hurt and very nearly won heat 14, if it weren't for Schlein's wonderful pass (which seems to be a rare occurrence at Shielfield these days?) This was my first speedway meeting for a while and probably will be my last until next year now, very dull, very little passing, experienced riders struggling to get round, and missing half the race because I'm busy picking dust out of my eyes all the time. NDL meeting was actually quite good though, other than the stricken riders, (Did Max Perry's helmet come off when he came down??? It was hard to tell from the 3rd bend) Ashton Boughen is special.
  10. Perhaps he could sign Zmarzlik, Jaonwoski, Vaculik and Bewley as a top 4 while he's at it
  11. I'm guessing that the three mentioned above are all best mates then...
  12. I agree, the quality of the track was god awful... I know that from experience. But it still served up some interesting situations going into that third bend when someone who didn't know how to ride it was leading someone who did know how to ride it (Rene, Ludvig, Robbo plus many others)
  13. The only one you mentioned that is good there is Redcar... The others are some of the worst in the country...
  14. How the hell do they accidentally leave him out? Did they just forget about his existence?? I thought it was strange for him not to be in the squad...
  15. And your point is? Just because 11 out of 14 posts have been in the PL or CL sections (Are you stalking me?) doesn't mean I've followed the leagues very closely I have a look from time to time, but I don't know every single result and I don't know every single guest for each team, I also don't feel the need to comment on everything like some on here do... The NL I have followed much more closely as well as the Polish Ekstraliga. But still, SWC aside I've been to 6 meetings this year, 4 in the NL, one at Peterborough to see Nicki 10 yards Pedersen take the softest crash ever and pull out and one at Ipswich to see Emil. The reasons for this are financial on my part, I can't afford to go to as many as I used to and also lack of interest, I'd rather go to one meeting to see a specific rider these days... The Diamonds closing has lost my interest in the sport quite a bit
  16. Ah, that line up is just my opinion, I'm sure it will be nothing like that Tbh, I haven't followed the leagues that closely this year so I had no idea... I mainly just check the NL from time to time and that's it, I'm not interested in PL and CL as much
  17. So what will the line up be... I'd go 1. Rory Schlein 2. Jye Etheridge 3. Hans Andersen 4. Jonas Knudsen 5. Leon Flint 6. Steve Boxall 7. Connor Coles Decent looking team that now... Not sure what average Boxall comes in on, but I'm guessing it's lower than Jonas?
  18. Everytime this meeting has been rearranged it has been on a weekend when I'm working... I only work 1 weekend in every 4... I'm gutted What are the chances... I am delighted for Robbo though and I hope the day goes well for him and this rain stops before then!!
  19. Not a fan of tai, in fact he's one of my least favourite riders. But I'm glad to see him back in Britain, hopefully he stays this time...
  20. I would really like to come over to Workington at some point this season but every home meeting they seem to have clashes with someone I have on I've been unlucky... But I can hardly complain this time as I will be in Poland with my Dad and a few mates watching the world cup What kind of riders are we looking at for this meeting then? It says some of the best riders in the league, I assume they mean the NL and more than likely 7 of them will be Comets...?
  21. Considering Chris Louis openly admitted on tv that he hadn't heard of most of these under 21 riders, I don't see that happening..... Plus, after already paying big for Emil and presumably Doyle, is there really a lot of money left at Ipswich to get riders like Lahti, Lebedevs, Huckenbeck etc in (bearing in mind most of these types of riders already have their maximum number of leagues)
  22. Ipswich should swap Erik (who is clearly struggling) and Danyon with Barker and Mountain imo... I know Mountain didn't do a lot tonight, but he's an upgrade on Danyon imo and Barker would be an upgrade on a struggling Riss too. Would put Rew back at reserve also 1. Emil Sayfutdinov 2. Connor Mountain 3. Danny King 4. Ben Barker 5. Jason Doyle 6. Keynan Rew 7. Dan Thompson Personally I would swap Doyle and King around too... Having Emil and Jason meet in heat 13 feels like a wasted chance for both of them to get a heat win... If they didn't meet at any point they have 8 opportunities to win races, but because they meet in 13 they only have 7. I also assume Barker and Mountain would be cheaper than Erik and Danyon too? Also I think Jason Edwards would be better at number 7, but I haven't really looked into how Jason and Dan performed earlier this season in the PL
