Odds On

cant believe Rory Schlein has turned into a key board warrior now, seems he has plenty to say about NP on social media.

do you guys really expect TV to bend over backwards for a sport that is nothing but shambolic?..the promoters/riders/team managers need to wake up and realise that the gravy train is almost dry.

Heard the Poles/Aussies/Swedes have been practicing on the local roads, well that's what im hearing.

I take it you have no relation to grass root speedway riders then.

I would guess the "engine" is the same but the set ups could be still adjusted!!!

which just goes to prove that you can have all the ability/help/money in the world but if you have nothing between the ears then you are merely pissing in the wind!

Lambert is a level above Howarth and Cook, so there is not a cat in hells chance of Lambert not riding, I would also prefer King to Cook.....why change it to make the foursome weaker? Rossiter fekked up on Monday that is why we are in the situation we find ourselves, stick with the guys who rode their hearts out on Monday I say.

he is the team manager to use the rule book to his teams advantage, when it counted he was found wanting and made him look amateurish.

all he had to do was tell Bomber to finish behind Batchelor in heat 8, this would of meant we could use the joker in the next race, either Bomber or Woffinden in place of Lambert, if this had happened the chances were that either of them would of beaten Morris and thus forcing at least a run off, but there would of been more pressure on the Aussies and who knows what would of happened....tactically amateurish by Rossiter imo.

who Coco The Clown Alan!

very true but I bet the other Countries around the World had a good laugh at Rossiters fekk up!

oh dear Alan Rossiter you have just cost team GB a place in the final, he had one job and he failed, time to stick to driving lorries me old fruit!

has Rossiter just cost a golden chance of getting through to the final? theres more to being a team manager than tv interviews!

if GB lose tonight then Drama Queen Rossiter should be sacked, end of!

Maybe Im falling out of love with the sport but I found it boring last night, sat in a pub watching it with a host of newbies and they thought it was boring and follow the leader.

This rumour is bubbling in the greyhound world and would be great if true, anybody else heard anything?

okay lets try speaking some truth, if the riders like the track then it will be as smooth and slick as the M25, make no bones about it the riders see meetings as just another day at the office and in turn another pay day, more days in the office mean more pay days, grippy and rutty tracks risk less days in the office!!...why would they care that there is no entertainment for the paying public?...most riders cant ride grippy and rutty tracks because all they have ever been brought up on his slick tracks. Speedway is in the world of entertainment, lets be honest as far as value for money goes speedway is lagging behind, tonight for example the meeting will be nigh on two and half hours long and yet with only 23 minutes maximum of entertainment at the very most.

a great meeting and a good advert for the sport, cant wait to fork out around £150 for Cardiff.

really cant see what all the fuss is all about, those with half a speedway brain knew in March that this team was poor and at best if they reach/reached half way it would be a major achievement.

sadly injuries are part and parcel of the sport, if a club is "lucky" they will have a rider out injured the same time another rider becomes available...now whether a club wants to poach another rider is up for argument etc but good team managers/promoters have a canny knack of finding a suitable replacement to make their team even stronger.....that my friends is the difference between a mediocre/run of the mill club to a proactive/determined club!

must try harder than that fella!

do not jest folks, the River Rye may flood and dampen the track!

the banking is being removed to unearth Lens fortunes and this in turn will be put back into the club/team!

aha but is the new "owner" the whole owner or a joint owner?!...the plot thickens, either way having an "atmosphere" within the pits at this tage of the season is bad news.

Eddie having a go will have absolutely zero impact, several strong and experienced riders have done the very same over the years...then people wonder why the team spirit in the pits is as it is.
