  1. Yeah, just a misunderstanding. Now told Rob G where the incorrect information stemmed from, so he can also make sure there's no further misunderstanding tomorrow.
  2. No it wasn't! The riders were concerned about what they were faced with if they were behind. Scott Nicholls isn't a moaner. When he calls out the track, I think there's a good reason to listen to him. It's good that Leicester have called in Andy Meredith, but they should have done that years ago.
  3. Awful meeting. The blade used during the week had cut into the clay base. It wasn't a problem for those out front, but those behind were bombarded with huge lumps of clay, hence the riders being so strung out. More tractors than bikes, with a huge gap after Heat 4.
  4. Home track advantage? We're only ridden at home once. Looking forward to hopefully seeing Oxford winning, despite our complete lack home track advantage. See you tonight mate!
  5. That's a shame. With Tai there, I think they would have got maybe over 1000 people to stream it and it could have brought over 10 grand into the kitty. But I wasn't going to do a four-hour drive on a Monday night.
  6. Final two signings for 2022: http://scunthorpe-speedway.com/?p=13867
  7. To be fair to the 1984 Aces, they only dropped nine league points (three defeats and three draws) - but the problem was Ipswich only dropped eight! Belle Vue's away form was pretty exceptional - 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats in the BL. Plus a 100% home record. Most seasons that would have seen them walk the league. A season of two incredible sides!
  8. It's 2021. Speedway Forums are largely redundant. Plenty of interest on social media.
  9. No Jan O Pedersen during the 1980s or 1990s? World Champion in 1991, World No 2 in 1986 and World 3 in 1988. Rode in the World Pairs Final twice... and won it twice! Rode in the World Team Cup Final four times... and won it four times! Throw in a BLRC (1988) and various honours with Cradley Heath and surely he should be in there for both decades.
  10. No, he wasn't a number, he was a free man.
  11. Well, you'd gone as far back as a rider who rode in UK Speedway in 1952 (Briggo), so I just went back a tiny bit earlier But, yeah, going pre-war does open up a different kettle of fish, so maybe we should restrict it to post-war. I rescind Bluey Wilkinson and add Anders Michanek
  12. 1. No, they all deserve to be there. 2. Tricky question. I think I'd go for Bruce Penhall, although IMO the other outstanding candidates (in chronological order) are Bluey Wilkinson, Vic Duggan, Jack Young, Ronnie Moore, Peter Craven, Ole Olsen, Anders Michanek, Erik Gundersen, Greg Hancock and Jason Crump. As for Tai Woffinden and Bartosz Zmarzlik, I'll decide where they fit once they retire.

  18. Watching the stream tonight. Hoping Poole stream the second leg as well - with such a forward thinking promotion, I'll sure they will - money to be made from streaming the final.
  19. I didn't mention National League. I took it from the link you provided, which mentions a possible return in 2023. Hope all goes well!
  20. Steve, don't walk around that area of Glasgow after the meeting once it's dark. If there isn't a bus, call a taxi.
  21. Good news about a possible 2023 return, especially if Trevor Geer is involved, because he's had close ties with the Dugard family over the years.
