Seems the Stoke guest for No1 is being kept close to their chest, but Benji for Matt is a darn good choice.

Should be an interesting meeting, i believe Cradley are without Stevie Worrall, but not sure if he will get to ride if the weather plays a part, without him Cradley are weaker. I will go for a Cradley win by less than 6 points. If Stoke have McBain back they could sneak a win.

So in accordance with BSPA Kent should be allowing £8 for the 8 heats not run. Jeez it's no wonder speedway is in such a mess either they don't know the rules or they make them up as they go along, either way it's a sad indictment of the way the Sport is being run, it either needs an independent body or an independent person with knowledge appointed for a 3 year term to run the Sport. The way things are going there won't be anything left to run soon.

Fast Golden Hammer, Cradley
greyhoundp replied to diamond_ren's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
All the Cradley meetings are recorded, and the videos are usually available from there website, with regards a program maybe the best way would be to ask on the Facebook page if Cradley don't have any available. -
My Top 10 Riders On Current Form.
greyhoundp replied to barrow boy's topic in National League Speedway
There was a topic I started pre season pick your dream team, how do I find it ? I know most of the picks had Stevie Worrall. -
Dear me, £6 to another Kings meeting, so fans paid £6 to watch 4 races. It's no wonder fans are being lost that's nothing less than daylight robbery. Here was a chance for some good Pr by Kings instead they find another way to alienate fans. The Sport is dying on its feet and promoter's seem incapable of doing anything except helping it on its way.

Cradley Heathens V Coventry Storm 22/07/14
greyhoundp replied to Hunty's topic in National League Speedway
Yeah have to agree that probably 99% of the races were over after the first lap and 98% after the 2nd bend. For the first time I noticed a blue groove on the 3rd 4th bends. Definitely no drive out wide as could be seen by Nielsen challenging Worrall in Ht15, when Stevie was team riding with Starkie, when Stevie dropped back and switched to the inside, he was far more comfortable. To sum up, a good all round Team performance from the Heathens and yes it could have, indeed should have been more, Storm Nielsen excepted were on the whole poor. -
Luke Replaces The Injured Luke For Coventry Storm !
greyhoundp replied to Main Man's topic in National League Speedway
So where is the condemnation ?. Storm are to strong, they are over the 40 point limit, it's a development league and Storm are Coventrys junior team, Luke Priest would do a fantastic job for, Scunthorpe, Buxton or Plymouth but NO the strong Storm team sign the 29 year old journey man. Don't anyone come on here and tell us Heathens fans its NOT about having a winning team in the NL. Good signing Lorro, and tonight will be the first of three meetings at Monmore between Storm and Cradley. -
So what do we suggest Cradley do waco ? Drpp riders every month to comply with the points limit and then the other teams can strengthen up. All the big hitters in the NL Coventry, Mildenhall, and Kent could have signed Starke, Williamson or Philips, and Probably Worrall, that none of them were signed by other teams is those Teams problem not Cradleys. However I do agree rules need to be tightened up, to allow a fairer spread of the available talent, 36 point limit with a 30 point lower limit would be a start.

James Shanes is a good move, James Wright could be equally so. Adam Roynon I cannot fault Adam in any way, either on track or off, but I do believe the injuries have finally caught up with him, he should retire and we can all then remember the rider/racer he was, not the rider he is now, he is riding around picking up odd points here and there, basically waiting for the next injury to come along, and each injury now seems to take longer to recover from. Adam should retire now, and if he needs to race, then Grasstrack or Karting should be what he should look at.

I think Stoke will take their time with Bens replacement whilst they have this facility available, Kyle Hughes who is motivated (yes) the Kyle of the last few years No. I was thinking more in line with someone like Birkenshaw, Allott or a rider of that ilk.
-
I think I heard Sept 3rd being mentioned. Here comes the winter league.
-
I chose Mason because of his away form, or lack of it, for me it needs your 3 heat leaders to be able to score consistently away from home, and your reserves to be able to outscore the opposite numbers at home, and hold their own away. Masons average is only going to get slowly lower, age is against him now, Baseby I'm not convinced by, he has been around for a number of years now. Personally I would rebuild the team with Lambert as No1, then go from there, financially you should be able to compete with all other teams in the Nl.
-
Likely contenders, I'm struggling to think of any, unless there is someone out their thinking of making a comeback.
-
Question for Kings fans, you want to win something in 2015, if you had to choose between Mason or Hopwood who would you choose, Hopwood is a Rye asset.

I feel so sorry for the Brummie fans there is NO doubt this is a blow for British Speedway, that the 2nd city does not have a Speedway Team. In my opinion the Phillips family have a lot to be accountable for. Its my honest opinion that they barely had 2 pennies to put into the Team for 2014, they relied entirely on putting of paying bills for as long as they could, they paid riders late, they didnt pay rent when it was due, and they told blatant lies to supporters and probably the BSPA (Birmingham Speedway is debt free) that being the most blatant. It seems to me they relied entirely on these late payments combined with advances (Sky Money) and season ticket money to continue for as long as they could, when these monies ran out, they tried right up until the day before Philips announcement, to lie, bluster and basically tell untruths about the Brummie situation, The BSPA has to accept it is to blame in a small way, firstly by not insisting that Brum had an experienced person helping them run the Speedway, and secondly by not investigating the Brummie financial situation before it got so bad. Hopefully Birmingham Speedway can return in 2015, that has to be the main focus of the BSPA and Brummie supporters now.

Belle Vue V Birmingham El Mon 30/06/14
greyhoundp replied to hyderd's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
The forecast i saw at 6-00pm ish, looks pretty favourable, if your chances of survivng are the same as tomorrows weather forecast, then things could turn out ok. -
Yeah, but does that asset have any value ??.
-
Its in his statement on the Brummie forum, he says its what he has put in, but i take that with a pinch of salt now, Im guessing his ex partner Chris Luty i think his name is, must have put something in. and he has said recently to a supporters group Birmingham Speedway is debt free, but as we can see from Chris BART Simpson on here, he hasnt been paid for 3 months, so thats a blatant untruth.
-
Oh dear Chris, i hope you are wrong, not for yourself but others, thats june, May and April, basically you havent been paid since the start of the season, and if thats multiplied over, Then Phillips has not only been living a BIG dream, but he has blatantly lied over and over to numerous people involved, including supporters, who he allegedly told "Birmingham Speedway is debt free" and thats only a few weeks ago. I can see why loyal supporters mistrust him, because he must have known the real situation.
