Who is that though, apart from Andersen? Pedersen did retire, Nicholls is having a scorching season this year, Harris is doing well, so do you mean Basso and MPT?
-
To me though it's not about getting your average, it's how many he's getting each meeting. Scoring 14 on a night when the teams wins fairly easily means to maintain his average he'll score 5 or so the next meeting when we lose. It's consistency he struggles with and everyone knows he's capable which is why it frustrates fans.

As with anything you want to sell, it's up to you if you do or do not, no sense giving it away.

And Jenkins.

Buying SGP tickets (Cardiff 2023)...
SPEEDY69 replied to Ace no.5's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
OK, will try that tomorrow, thanks. Just went via the desktop as suggested and yes, the block can then be selected - thanks for the advice and disappointing that's not made clear by see tickets. -

I can't seem to find out how I book a specific block, it only asks for the category and it's giving me a block on the third bend when I want second bend (same category). Has anyone else faced this and managed to select what they wanted? -
Maybe it is harsh, let's see. I just remember so many others who went on to the top and the rapid progress they made. Maybe am unfair comparison but Loram Louis Screen Lee Nicholls and others. Joe doesn't even ride like he wants to go faster.
-
I think the Thompsons may have reached their level, not seen much in the way of progress this year.
-
Not understandable to anyone who doesn't know what those reasons are!
-
No, having averages based on your suggestion is, which is why it's not been done here.
-
Would be interesting I suppose seeing the riders slowing down to finish behind their partner every race. That undefeated 8 point man would be a highly sought after signing.
-
Not sure it is. Hypothetical I know but say rider x scores 8 points each meeting but in every race he's second to his partner. At the season end his average is 8 or 2 per race, even though he's not been beaten by any opponent. For me that illustrates why I agree with the general. In his way, the average is 12, much better in my view.
-
Perhaps it was 'in the interests of speedway' But you're right of course, unless they've been looking to replace him for some time.
-
A few on here appear to be 'in the know' but that doesn't satisfy those who like to criticise. Honesty brings understanding and harmony.
-
I see Kemp has joined Leicester, they had no bother dropping Dan Thompson, why do Ipswich still have Joe?
-
I agree but I do remember Sheffield fans saying he made them weaker last time!
-
Should be a win for Sheffield here as Ipswich are low on confidence. They will have Tobi rather than Nicholls as well. Kerr is in great form, key man for them is Howarth I think. If he cuts out the bucking bronco stuff that's what should tip it in Sheffield's favour.
-
Is this on TV on Monday?
-
Tungate is nowhere near the level of Pedersen so he's too expensive if that's so.
-
Witches facing a big loss here. Reserves and Rew and King poor as per recent meetings.
-
Ben looked better than zach at Ipswich this season but definitely both on the up.

Ipswich v Wolves June 1st
SPEEDY69 replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Can't compare experienced no.6s to the rising star. Thompson simply hasn't improved one bit this season, age has nothing to do with it. Plenty of past examples of 16 year olds getting better over the season. They tried him but should now admit someone else should have a go. -
Ipswich v Wolves June 1st
SPEEDY69 replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Good racing on the heath again last night, not the result Ipswich wanted but never mind, fairy play to Wolves. King does what he always does - frustrates but he's great mates with Richie so won't be getting dropped. Hume has the gating ability but lost positions last night due to backing it into the corners rather than carry his speed around them - very similar to how Jake Allen used to ride foxhall. He should have scored more. Thompson needs to be dropped or quit ASAP. -
Peterborough v Leicester 29/05/23

Better gloves or hand guards would prevent a small bruise like that. They hurt in your body too but that's usually better protected. There used to be nuts and bolts on the Lynn track and they used to hurt!
