  1. As a general rule of thumb (I'm sure exceptions can be found), riders with a grasstracking background don't often seem overly concerned about the state of shale.
  2. Well done to Poole, for whom Andersen and Worrall were excellent. Things fell their way tonight but the whole point of sport is to seize those opportunities when they present themselves, which they did. A deserved victory. Wolves' problem, Lindgren's fitness apart, clearly lies at reserve where Riss has been sorely missed. All else, of course, is insignificant compared to Howarth's awful crash from which he has apparently mercifully escaped with concussion alone. Best wishes also to Shanes, who had a good go before departing to injury. Good to chat with a number of the Poole fans this evening; safe journey home.
  3. FWIW I thought the racing was quite decent at Leicester, but that was my only visit so far this season! As to the tight track versus speed point, it's surely possible to appreciate both? But as you say, personal taste.
  4. Sorry to hear the news on Rob Branford; R/R for Justin Sedgmen may weaken the Rockets a tad. Either way it certainly puts the focus on Robbo. Think Wolves may get a bit closer this time, perhaps pick up a point. Hope the crowd figures are holding up for Rye after taking the plunge into the top flight.
  5. Quite right, I was looking at the team statistics page in error (marked, to my shame, in large type "These are not official green sheet averages"!)
  6. I can imagine. He'd be going a hell of a lick at that point on the circuit, too.
  7. Agree entirely with your analysis. As to King/Howarth, a bit of both -- (King 6.16 Howarth 6.51).
  8. Yes, I knew about the mechanical problems (though not the collection, hope that went well and thanks for the info). For clarity I'm not saying he has 'issues', a term you've introduced. I'm just a tad concerned about the impact on him of losing quite a productive reserve partner, hence the term "potential knock-on worry".
  9. One potential knock-on worry of the Riss injury would be the effect on Nathan Greaves. I haven't checked the scores match by match, but retain an impression that his form picked up once Riss had arrived. It may be coincidence, of course, but equally the scoring of Riss might have eased the pressure on Greaves.
  10. The term you're looking for may be abacus!
  11. Well, yes. Lot of hard work for little reward if he opts/is told not to, though. I suspect as per Beowulf's earlier post that it will be once bitten, twice shy as far as Wolves go.
  12. As a matter of fact I would be surprised. Here's the joke: Here's the response, measured enough in all conscience: And here's where it gets nasty: I'm sure forum members will be able to make up their own minds as to when the thread ceased to be "hunky dory".
  13. Nope, that wasn't it (and, incidentally, I'm taking your definition of the phrase as a figure of speech).
  14. It would probably be something of a precedent, but I hope so too!
  15. I think it might be you and I'm a neutral! But time will tell, of course.
  16. Recalling Jorgensen's time at Wolves, you have a great little battler there and also someone with a good personality. I hope he does you proud.
  17. I appreciate the inconvenience/delay of being searched, but "horrendous"? A sense of perspective wouldn't go amiss on occasion, particularly occasions following three terrorist attacks which have all involved loss of life.
  18. Had already been withdrawn from the final. http://scunthorpescorpions.co/?p=7250
  19. Thanks for the info. Fingers crossed for a quick recovery.
  20. Sorry to hear that. Injured as in a bump that might be OK in a week or two or something more serious?
  21. Many's the time I disagree with Gavan, but what's your issue here? It seems a cogent and reasonable analysis and he's picked your side to win quite handily! Much as the changes have improved Wolves, keep in mind that the two away wins they have recorded subsequently have been against teams currently in the bottom three. I am, for once, with Starman and would expect a home win. Would genuinely be chuffed with a point.
  22. I think you'll find SCB is being a bit puckish there.
  23. Not if it were as wet down there as it is up here.
