  1. Hold your breath. Here are the current top 10 English riders in average order from league and cup matches ridden in this season. 1= Mark Loram & Simon Stead 3 Scott Nicholls 4 Joe Screen 5 Leigh Lanham 6 Paul Hurry 7 Dean Barker 8 David Norris 9 Lee Richardson 10 Chris Harris
  2. With it getting ever nearer to the WTC I just wondered which 5 would be your pick if you were the Team Manager.
  3. One of the so called Leicester ladies mentioned in Mr Clemens 'War & Peace' day in the life of was in fact my wife who is not posh but is certainly not riff raff. Were any other forum members slumming it it the riff raff areas I ask myself?
  4. Not there? You'll be saying there is no Santa Claus next.

  6. In my Grand Prix 'More To The Point' thread I suggested that each losing 3rd placed semi finalists be awarded 13 points and the losing 4th placed semi finalists be awarded 11 points and quite rightly HenryW pointed out that it was possible for riders having qualified with more than 11 & 13 points not to reach the final. I readily conceeded that in such cases these riders should retain their qualifying score.
  7. How about after the first GP the bottom 2 are replaced by the next 2 in line for GP2. After GP2 the bottom 2 are replaced by the 2 that dropped out after GP1 and so on right through the series. 2 extra places being available should provide more variety and interest at both ends of the meetings and there will as a result be something for those not doing so well to fight for.
  8. I think you could be right. It just made me smile though
  9. Did you hear Mr Pearson in commentary say that some people think that more big points should be available for the losing semi finalists. Does someome out there take notice after all? Thought it was funny though when he said it was a high scoring Slovenian GP. Were there more points scored this time then?
  10. Where do all the cloud cuckoo land dwellers think that SS lives then?
  11. Every post about JC states Crump whereas all other riders are referred to by either their christian names, initials or nicknames. You don't have to keep screaming 'I hate him'. I think we have got the message. Wonder if he's bothered.
  12. Sorry, correction. He did not beat Tomasz. Apologies but 3 out of 4 aint bad is it?
  13. I hereby ask the Moderater to explain why extreme personal abuse with the use of ****'s instead of the actual offensive words are allowed in this thread. Elsewhere a posting was edited because it said that someone should get a life. I know which type of comment I would discourage.
  14. 1) Agree part one but disagree part 2 2) Agree in principle but can't see it working. 3) Disagree. Successful teams ought not be punished for their success by having to de-strengthen. Teams above the previous season's average should be allowed to maintain their strength and those below should be allowed to increase up to the average. 4) Agree but who decides what is affordable 5) Agree to part one but disagree with part 2 6) Agree. Have always advocated this. 7) Totally disagree. One of the worst things allowed in the sport. 8) Agree but only for any missing top 3 rider whose rides may be taken one each by 4 other riders. 9) Agree but can't see this one happening. 10) Agree. Have always advocated this also. 11) Possibly agree ????? Can't see many promotions agreeing though 12) Disagree 13) Would like to agree but Dummies & Prams comes to mind
  15. Don't think it was average based. Think it was a case of taking a rider away from the top teams and reallocating them to the bottom teams.
  16. Just hope the track is better by then. You know how Ole likes slick racing surfaces but Monday's track was slick and in places dangerous
  17. One of my other hobbys is being a National Amateur Swimming Official and in their set up they allow swimmers to be members of more than one club. Normally young swimmers would join a small local club and if they are considered to be good enough they are encouraged to also join a club in a higher standard of competiton. They are however allowed to compete for both clubs but with the higher standard club being allowed first claim on their services. Usually all parties agree the terms of such an arrangement, details of which are closely observed by the respective leagues. Eventually the lower standard clubs lose such swimmers but they accept this as being in not only the swimmers, but the sports bests interests for this type of pyramid progression to the top to be encouraged.
  18. Have we had an explanation from BSI for this piece of jigary pokey (sorry if not spelt right). As I've said before on the Hans Andersen thread, by reinviting Lee Richardson everybody that finished in front of him should also be included. I've nothing against Lee R. My beef is with the decision of BSI.
  19. Interesting!!! The idea of promotion and relegation though is to provide and create more interest and at the same time give out messages to the media etc that speedway can be taken seriously again.
