  1. And while we're being all negative, I don't know why Gordon/Morton keep going off to have a look at Torun, if the artist impression is anything to go by they'd be better off going to the East of England Showground
  2. erm No! I go to the speedway to be entertained by the racing, and not to bother other people around me.
  3. Because I'd like to know who's in the race Yes the well being of the riders has priority, this doesn't mean you have to ignore the punters for over an hour, only in the last 10 minutes or so was anything done to break the boredom. If it's tractors and diesel fumes that do it for you, then... I suppose, why not?
  4. As a Cov fan this was pretty much a shambles from start to finish. Car Park - swamp Turnstiles - A Joke Howarth - Should have stayed in Sheffield Garrity - look at the white line Bomber - What happened in his first race? Announcer - Only 2 riders in every race Delay - 1 Hour, 2 Tractors
  5. At last! Must have read my tweet, took em long enough though
  6. 40 mins of tractor racing! How about some rider interviews?
  7. Bomber obviously knows how to ride a bike, pass riders and is fast enough to win races... when he gates When he gates! It's his obvious weak point. I've spent years watching him in the grand prix and he's nearly always a bike length down before the race is 1 second in. That's far too much to give away at that level and he's not much better at league level. It's there for all to see. What I'd like to know is, what has he done to solve that problem in the last 10 years? Because as far as I can see that's the ONLY problem he's got I know if I were in his position with such an obvious major flaw in my game and I had aspirations of being world class and not just a journey man I would be working hard on this particular aspect of my game, he's got everything else. From an outsiders point of view it seems to me he's labelled himself as a bad starter and that's it. Surely in 2014, sports science is sophisticated enough with the right mentoring for this weakness to be eradicated from his game
  8. It's not even as though it's a one off, look at last years ERC and 4's... there's probably others, I've lost count
  9. The only shower in the Coventry area today was the shower of sh!t that runs British Speedway... when is somebody going to take responsibility and resign?
  10. I blame the fans, yes those of you that attended should know that the Coventry track becomes unrideable after even a little bit of rain, this is why I stay away if there's been any rain on it on the afternoon of a meeting, it's been the same for the last 10 or 15 years. This kind of thing usually happens at least once a season and people still go and are still surprised. I'm afraid you only have yourself to blame
  11. I hate to put a downer on this, but... unless they relay the Coventry track in completely different material there is no way on earth the track would ride well under "usual" winter weather conditions.
  12. Congrats to Tai. I've been a critic of his in the past before this season, but he really has turned his career around and fulfilled his potential and is now a model professional. Hopefully he can be an inspiration to some of our other youngsters!
  13. Not even that anymore judging by the coverage last night's display has got on the BSPA website... perhaps it was a bad dream and hasn't really happened
  14. I think he's doing what the BSPA want him to do, pick a team, turn up, say the right things, lose, see you next year... not rock the boat with plans on how to start to get us out of the international mess we're now in. Rob Lyon tried to start to do something about it a few years ago and look where that got him
  15. Anybody know if the roadworks around Wisbech are complete?
  16. Fair play to Woffy, I've been one of his critics in the past, but this season he seems to have cleaned his act up and stepped up to the level of a professional sportsman
