You obviously haven't seen Matt Williamson he's been less than competitive at scunny but he is a trier and always shows up

Would love bellego at scunny

I'm sure your right their but how many and will they be protected

Well if that's the case let's hope crowds go up with the influx of migrants

So reading back some think the status quo should remain ie 7 man teams some think six man teams some think plenty of riders some think not enough and some think race nights are the problem, each individual has a valid point in most cases, so based on this how are the promoters meant to decided what's best for the future given each and everyone will have a differing view based on their own business model

And that's the point injured rider out long term constant guests rr and no rider to fill that space hence lack of riders.

The start of the season is never an issue really it's 6 weeks in when injuries take there toll that becomes the issue. No riders sat waiting to fill the gaps and most that are brought in are already riding for different teams and in different countries and not available to fulfil all of the fixtures for the said team.

Right could somebody please explain why they think there are enough riders when most teams are using double ups rr or guest please don't use the racing same night argument as we know race night can't always change due to teams racing in rented accommodation

Agree RR is part of the sport but it's not a good side to it surely something has to be done to reduce it not a great believer in it. Reduced team numbers altered format has to be a start let's face we all believe the sport needs change so why not be radical. For me I would like 6 man teams non of your changes because the reserve is going well and somebody else isn't so he has 7 rides. Track reserves for an injured rider only thing I would say if a heat leader gets injured in his first heat two of his rides taken by othe heat leaders one by reserve and one by the track reserve.

Like the British bit but surely with the amount of doubling up and guests and rr there's a shortage even before Injuries take hold

Just been browsing a few topics on 2016 teams and everybody seems to be picking 7 man teams. Surely with the constant lack of riders and use of the dreaded guest and Mr R/R is it a good time to go to six man teams which gives everyone 5 rides during a meeting and increases rider availability . Or are we going to plump for more of the same

Can't see that happening

Doing his homework

Heartbroken at that result however got to say what a good meeting it was with some tremendous racing

It was something like that I would suggest getting someone to ride who was always going to be there in one capacity or another is a good business decision

Can't disagree there but come on if this was something out of the ordinary I could see the point in moaning about it but let's face it this is custom and practice so no need to keep havin a hissy fit

Shrimmy I was thinking the same the kid goes on and on can't he just watch and enjoy the speedway for what it is without the politics. Bet he chucks his pencil case around after Plymouth get a nice little away win when an out of sorts average lowering team full of guests get beat at home. Can't beat a good conspiracy theory

Lewy if you are calling theo a shirker why not turn up and say it to his face

Karma comes in many forms

Yep we have can't disagree but the way this is all playing out its like a huge slice of creamy karma coming along just at the right time

Well looks like phase one of stick it to ippo is well on track

Let's hope it is

Bitter aren't you

If winning means we help Ipswich out I hope we get murdered

Very late
