Vinnie Foord - is he too dangerous?
Gambo replied to BackInTheDHSS's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Regarding the Scott/Foord incident, just watch Heat 5 (as an example) and see where Sam Masters starts to turn as he crosses the start/finish line. Jody Scott did the same, as do many others. -

But they are interested in hoovering up the NDL riders that come to the fore (at other promotions expense), but then spit them out when the promise doesn't materialise for whatever reason (e.g. Max Perry). -
But those clubs that don't run because it is a "loss making idea", are quite happy to hoover up the talent that does emerge from the efforts of other clubs!🤬 And when the promise does not materialise as hoped (e.g. Max Perry), they spit them out and grab another prospect that they have done nothing to support.

Strange, isn't it. Back in the times when I started going to Speedway (1965) we would go to Coventry (and away tracks) to watch a Speedway meeting, because we loved the sport. Whether Coventry were fighting for the League Title or fighting to avoid the wooden spoon, we still went to see a Speedway meeting, because we loved the sport. We went to season opening (and closing) challenge matches to see a Speedway meeting because we loved the sport. Nowadays it seems that others only want to see 'meaningful' meetings. To me, all Speedway meetings are meaningful, the result is just secondary.

So they will still get to the GP challenge even if it is postponed. I'm sure they would all prefer a safe dry track next week. The weather down here is horrendous. Would rather see a raceable track than a 'rideable' one.

Gambo replied to Biffa's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
I too will take your word for it, 😁but I can't find any mention of that particular scenario in the Regs. Maybe there was a Supplementary Regulation issued for the event? -

They will. I didn't say that it had happened, it is just the ruling for if it did. -

FIM rules are that if a rider is unable to take his place in a Semi Final/Final, he is considered to be in last place in that Semi Final/Final. Nobody is 'promoted' to fill that place. -
King’s Lynn vs Leicester - Monday 02/09/24
Gambo replied to SpeedwayFan91's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Max James replaces Sam Hagon who suffered injury after a crash at Poole yesterday. -
Not including yourself (or me 😁) of course, but some of the posters on here do seem to fit into that childish bracket!

Gardening at the start line
Gambo replied to Youhave2minutes's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
The Riders have 2 minutes to be ready to race. What they do in that two minutes is up to them. Gardening only seems more prevalent now as the riders want to maximise their time in preparing their start grid. In the past they would trundle round at any time in the two minutes and then start gardening. -
