Ipswich Vs Kings Lynn August 10th
SPEEDY69 replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Dislocated shoulder -
I'm not disagreeing with that, I disagree that he's the greatest GB rider in history - do you not understand the difference?

British Final 2023
SPEEDY69 replied to Hackett's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
Don't forget he hasn't been contracted to ride in the Premiership this year either (other than a few guest appearances). Shame though as he's having a great season. -
Ipswich Vs Kings Lynn August 10th
SPEEDY69 replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Why on earth do premiership teams use Sam Hagon - does he pay them to ride? Seriously, they can't think he'll beat anyone at this level so seems such a strange choice. What have I missed? -
If you mean for Wolves then fine but disagree completely if you mean GB's greatest.

He's renowned for it, often stuffs his team mate around Foxhall!

Simon Stead and Oliver Allen.... Stand down?
SPEEDY69 replied to eric i's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I don't think it makes much difference. The bikes never reach their top speed and there is a fair amount of resistance. Tiny riders in history have not been more successful, schofield, turner, bjerre as three examples. -
Now that GP riders are realising there is definite benefit to riding in the UK they seem to be coming back. As Artem is finding, it's not that easy over here.

And the GOAT Nielsen It's ability not height or even weight. -
Surprised you've not seen Danny King before?

Kings Lynn Stars Vs Peterborough Panthers
SPEEDY69 replied to klstarsfan's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Whilst I agree with you, if they are exploited in the right way they could provide some additional tech insight - fastest rider, fastest lap etc. to keep youngsters interested whilst we try to fill in our programmes with pens. -

I agree with you about Wright but the same as in any job, if you p off your manager, you'll get less opportunities! -

Very small margins and GB could easily have won - congratulations to them, they did me proud. I don't believe they lack any mental strength at all, unfortunately the way some races pan out it can be another who presents an obstacle e.g. Fricke in Ht 20 held up Lambert which allowed Janowski to pass. Janowski himself had to ride the outside as he had nothing to lose - sometimes being the chaser is easier than being the chased and Lambert was no doubt settling for second (bar any mistakes from Fricke) after a couple of laps. Any suggestions Poland are miles ahead was clearly de-bunked. -

I'm expecting it to be as they shouldn't be scared of a rain off as they could go again tomorrow. -

Touché! No, Foxhall is the place, holds 10k and would serve up some great racing and atmosphere. -
Redcar Bears vs Oxford Cheetahs - Champ - 28/7
SPEEDY69 replied to Bojangles's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Kinsley has been around a long time now, not improving & time to call it quits in my view, can't be good getting beat all the time. Maybe he can get better? -

On, so that's five rides each then. How many can the reserve have? -

SPEEDY69 replied to Monarchs2468's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Oh didn't realise that, so the top four all get six rides then. Not having a programme means I just watch it as it happens!
