Agreed.........My thoughts exactly.

All riders were black back in the day.............before face masks and full face helmets............lol

Can't argue with that statement.

That's great news. Very glad to hear this.

Aussies have been coming over here to do speedway from day 1 and managed to make it pay when affiliated to just one team and no riding in Europe. I'm not saying this is how it should be.......just that a decent living can still be made riding weekly for just one team.

Well, that'll be that then...........lol

The speed he entered the third bend at Glasgow last night passing Richard Lawson was phenomenal and a sight to behold and done in total control. Breathtaking.

The way I see it is Danny is a pretty good gater and he is fast going into bends........it's half way round and coming out where he loses his speed and momentum due to scrubbing off speed and not getting his wheels in line quickly enough. He maybe needs to sacrifice a wee bit of his ingoing speed and concentrate on his exit. Easy to say, but probably not so easy to do.

You're clearly in your own little bubble regarding this passing thing..........lol

I'm on holiday in Englandshire so couldn't attend the meeting and have been told that my usual linked EL recording may not have picked it up.......so thank you for this R&R......much appreciated. Ps. Do I need a passport to get home from here yet?.....lol

Is the Workington thread full???.........lol

I apologise to everyone for my previous post...........apparently they're only giving Bewley and Etheridge a month now......lol

No they won't......their diehard fans have intimated on here that they'll give Bewley and Etheridge loadsa time to find their feet......lol Aye Right!.......

Been a Tigers fan since 1964 and this whole debacle is truly sickening me. Absolute pettiness FROM BOTH SIDES and it ain't doing Scottish speedway any good whatsoever. Time they all got a grip before it's too late.

Definitely wouldn't want to despite Glasgow looking like they've got the cash to do it. There's very little "Elite" about it in my opinion.

Who knows what Jacobs would be like now on return. What about the big top four with Danny Ayres and a choice of two from Arthur Sissis (3.71) Robert Branford (3.40) and Jan Graverson (3.83). Dimitri Bergé would have fitted nicely with Branford but I can't see him returning without big apologies all round. No doubt someone will post saying why we can't have any of the above. Did I read somewhere that Sissis wouldn't make the beginning of the season?.......memory's going.

If they did in fact research supporters' views, I wonder how rigourously they went about it? Surely they are not being reliant on a hand out questionnaire or an on-line survey. How easy it would have been to organise a vote during admission to any meeting this year. (Obviously not at a meeting against Edinburgh)

What MD said. Plus I wouldn't like to go down the road of having two low average reserves. I think it's been well proven that having good reserves, or at least one, is a crucial part of team building. We don't know, of course, what the format is going to be for next year with all this talk of fast tracking from the National League. Best wait till after the promotors' meeting I suppose.

Agree.....and despite the others' individual scores tonight I would like to see next years team built around Aaron, Richard, Victor and possibly Kauko.

Don't think so.......

Bringing them in one at a time from gate one works at Glasgow

Robert Dickson, ex starting marshal at Glasgow, adhered to this proper method of starting for years and I'm glad to say his successor Hugh McNeilly does likewise. It really does make a difference compared to many other tracks I visit and see on the telly. A good few riders don't like it.......but it works providing the marshal is persistent.

Oh! For a second there I thought you were hinting that we were going to sign Rory Schlein. Lol

Bridget Jones??

Yup, thought the promotion would have jumped at this opportunity. Perfect fit. I know he's said he's going back to Oz but that could be a knee jerk reaction to them dropping him and who can blame him? Could he not give his plane ticket to Mark Lemon? ✈️ 😃
