  1. missed out on Flint? you must be one of the very very few that didn't realise he was nailed on for Berwick when the time came
  2. unless they started negotiating and realised that with a lower limit next season a certain calibre of rider can now demand so much more
  3. i miss the days when EVERY club would have speedway March - October
  4. how many other PL teams have been named though? CL are naming, but PL are pretty much waiting until EVERYTHING is sorted i would imagine
  5. i'd take that i think Iversen will up his average considerably if at Peterborough, i'm not sure KL suited him after his shoulder injury. Wright is superb around the showground and Tofty can be also. very strong reserves there too, as if Allen/BWD move into the top 5, it will possibly mean, well any of them would be good
  6. wonder if Kings Lynn will put out a NL team, maybe run on the Wednesday
  7. well the sound it will make, apparently, is 'chomp chomp chomp'
  8. i think Simon is expecting to ride in 2 leagues so he'll be at either Kings Lynn or Peterborough
  9. and Tom finished ahead of Lambert in the averages didn't he?
  10. be good to see Niels at Peterborough again, he certainly struggled on the grip early on at Kings Lynn
  11. as said, that's down to the riders unless there is a club mechanic
  12. my pictures from WSRA Gala Dinner & Awards, 17.11.18 https://www.flickr.com/photos/the_womble/albums/72157700585985972/with/45063534295/

  14. either a walk back towards Centrum you'll find bars and restaurants, or go into the Old Town .. we got a meal this year in Molly Malones at about 11.30pm, good food and a good pub
  15. when i was a kid going to Wimbledon Stadium, so much of the evening was the excitement and anticipation of the racing, and it's things like that that have me hooked, but where is there ANYTHING to get the kids interest and keep it these days? Logic says it should be the racing, but so much more needs to be done. the anticipation bit at Wimbledon was when the track lights were on but all the stadium lights went off so just a lit up track for attention. why doesn't that happen now, is it health and safety, or is it that the track lighting at so many places is so bad if the stadium lights went out we'd ALL be in darkness. and something Dean & Les mentioned .. riding speedway should be about enjoyment a lot more than it obviously is, so much is about money. when i rode in the first team i had no idea what i was getting and just took the envelope and that was that. i WANTED to race, simple as that. bike on the rack on the back of the car Sunday night, early to work for BT Monday morning, half day holiday and off for a 3 hour drive to Exeter in the afternoon
  16. everyone guessing their team in the CH will be hoping for Drew Kemp
  17. i wouldn't be surprised .. i think Niels is struggling with the Kings Lynn track early in the meeting, although hopefully his shoulder will now get some time to start working properly.
  18. he reverted to Scunthorpe i think. Part of the Garrity/Toft swap that was part of the rider deal Ged done where he got shafted
  19. don't forget practice for the GP on the Friday afternoon .. some might find it dull but i quite enjoy it. entry is by GP programe only i believe, around £4
  20. except rider that are on the more desirable lower averages know they will be in demand and want more money ... maybe
  21. Charles Wright, Jake Allen, Scott Nicholls, BWD, Adam Ellis, and Tofty should leave some points for number 1 but solid around showground
  22. i feel the same .. first rode a speedway bike at Hyde Road, Belle Vue, learnt at Milton Keynes training track and Hackney, had one meeting for Arena Essex, then signed for Canterbury, after they closed i did part season at Reading, then finished up at Exeter ... and i grew up going to Wimbledon
  23. so with having someone owning more tracks knowing full well he doesn't pay over the odds isn't a start?
