  1. Strange how things work out. Ipswich relegated Peterborough miss the play-offs ( well after tonight) Both Speedway Team’s beaten last night and all doom and gloom. Whilst over here in the County of 6 fingers and Webbo Feet, we have beaten Swindon, have a future World Champion on our hands. Oh let’s not forget Daniel Farke and his band of Yellows returning to the promised land. All seems well with the World.
  2. You remember Baggy the guy who had a lot of ‘Pride’ at Saddlebow ( without an ‘S’) All this talk of Peterborough finishing bottom, well someone has to. Who better ? ( Ipswich maybe)
  3. If a track is not fit for purpose then why run the meeting ? Seems more like sod the public let’s get the money through the turnstiles. People have a right to a certain level of acceptability, which doesn’t include being covered in shale dust.
  4. Certain places ( Car Auctions for example) actually Have a surcharge for paying by cash. Speedway behind the times ? Surely not
  5. Battle of the Reserves to decide this one. Will Anderson bring his away game to Saddlebow ?
  6. Look full on that heat. Works much better without the commentary
  7. Maybe your idea of ‘Special’ is seeing a young lad travel halfway across the World only to then be sacked after 2 meets. Now that must qualify as ‘special treatment.
  8. Is it only ‘Special’ when there is overtaking involved.? Can we not enjoy a race where a rider defends a lead ?
  9. And he won’t use different shale cos it’s naff for Stox ? There lies the rub. Having said that when he has put on a big meet, ie World Team Cup. The racing has been first class. Different shale brought in for the occasion?
  10. What was wrong with the Track at the Showground, last season ? Did it really need the major overall that Buster appears to be giving it ? Buster spends ages going around and around at Saddlebow and all he has created is the worst track at Lynn we have ever seen ( in terms of racing)
  11. Reminds me of a Bank Hoilday at Rye House. How on earth does any promotion think that is acceptable ?
  12. Seems like Poole are ok on the road, but at home, oh dear. Says on thing. The home track isn’t fit for purpose. The Wimborne track has had a ? Against it now for a few years. Is it still the same guy preparing it ? If so rather than sack riders maybe Ford should look at getting someone in who knows what they are doing. As the saying goes, at least Poole will be able to concentrate on The League now.
  13. Yeah Gavlar got that well wrong. Hadn’t factored in a Bewley zero. Had him down for at least an 8. Belle Vue will come good once Bewley is up and running and the Aussie kid finds his feet.
  14. Is there more than Kings Lynn as a problem to Anderson? As in what kind of scores is he knocking up for Sheffield. If he is not hitting 3rd heat leader/2nd string scores at that level then maybe there are bigger issues. I thought I read he was better prepared for this season than ever before with a full time mechanic onboard. All seems to point to issues with the lad himself. Maybe an intensive ride out with say Rob Lambert over a couple of days around Saddlebow could be a make or break for lad. If there is then no marked improvement, maybe both parties should shake hands and go thier seperate ways.
  15. Sullivan and Crump up against each other was a joy to behold. I remember one Peterborough/Lynn meeting where they both gave each other total respect and room. Think they met 3 times during the meeting with Sullivan winning the individual match 2-1, but the number of passes each made on the other one was to many to keep track of. Happy Days
  16. Just looked it Baggy. Ronni did ride one meeting for us in 2002. You are correct it was 2001 he rode. Did 10 meets. The rider i think you couldn’t remember was Jernej Kolenko. Wasnt the best season, summed up with Fast Freddie Eriksson ending up 3rd in the averages on 6.33 Kugelmann rode in 01 (1.83 average) not 02
  17. Didn’t we start with a Pole at 4 Artur ? He was junk. Also didn’t Nicki P’s brother (Ronnie) ride for part of that season ?
  18. If it was ITV then it would be Anglia West ( Anglia is split into 2). Not as expensive as you would think. Sky advertising I would suggest is using something called Adsmart, which targets its audience.
  19. Ken Middleditch Ltd looks to have a healthy balance, wouldn’t you agree ? Do you mean my private pensions (which I’ve paid into) or my State pension ( that I’ve paid into) ? Tell ya what i’ll Let you know if and when the time comes for me to ‘Benefit’ from them. Speedway has been good to Neil, unlike certain other people. Always good to put something back, would you not agree ?
  20. Is he donating the proceeds to Charity or trousering it ? I’m sure the guy has enough assets etc to see him enjoy a comfortable lifestyle, going forward. Why not donate it to something like the Benfund to help guys who really need. The likes of Garry Stead, Joey Owen etc?
