Crump99 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Any chance we can move these boring, arguementative posts to a thread so us fans who want to chat about the speedway can do so?! Give it a rest will ya! Just stick stevebrum on ignore, that'll solve much of the first issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Delighted to hear that Andre Compton has been released from hospital with no lasting injuries that a bit of rest wont cure, could've been a load lot worse. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ORLOV Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Am glad Andre does not appear to be as badly injured as first thought. The meeting was another example of why sky should show more PL meetings rather than some of the dross they have been. A good meeting with plenty of action from some of the young guns on each side. Brady will have to get sky to update the photo they used for each heat he was in as he looked about 12 years old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hulvik Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 just heard the great news that Andre as been released from hospital after last nights crash. We breed them tough in speedway unlike the footballers in the Andrex preimer league 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aceslider Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Great news about Andre. Shuddered when I saw that incident last night and full marks to Sky for no replay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Amazing news about Andre. Like most, I really enjoyed the meeting up until then, swift recovery to him and Olly.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAST GATER Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Great news about Andre get back soon and a special mention to Aspgren who did his level best to avoid him at high speed and close quarters ,these fellows earn every penny they are paid and more IMO.

pandorum Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) What a tough old lad AC is Great news to hear both he and Olly are OK. One of the most awful crashes I have seen and I have seen a few that would turn your hair grey in my time. Feared the worst when I saw that but speedway riders are a tough breed. Hope he recovers quickly and is back in the saddle soon as our sport needs lads like this. Looks like Screeny may well have to don kevlars after all and don't Sheffield have Eric Boocock as a back up Joking aside good luck to Sheffield tonight as they deserve a bit of luck. Hope it's a good meeting and everyone goes home in the same condition they arrived Edited July 29, 2014 by pandorum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueherb777 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 So relieved to read that Andre has been released from Hospital. It looked really nasty and he did not deserve that after riding so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete cc Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Great news about Andre & what another great advert for premier league Speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smod Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Joe Screen might well make a short-term comeback in view of Tigers' current crisis. What about Covatti? Sheffield have experience of Argentinian riders (Albin was hugely popular) and he might be just the lad to come in and do a great job, judging by Saturday's showcase.

speedwaysliders Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Great ,super news about Andre,i was dreading looking for news this morning,but thankfully it doesnt appear too bad.Did remind me of the Ales Dryml crash at Oxford a few years ago,but Andre was just so unlucky with this crash.

kernowken Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Great news about Andre and also Olly. Watched the match on SKY impressed with some of the young blood. Perhaps TIGERS could give a wizz to young Covatti while they have got injury problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Brilliant news about Andre Compton. But what a dull, boring racetrack it is at Owlerton. Limited racing lines, riders having to scrub the speed off.......I'm surprised anyone would pay good money for that dross. Take a trip 60 miles down the M1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMcCaffery Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) Wonderful to get away from the stresses of the EL desperately trying to find a way to survive and to see riders for whom riding for their teams mattered rather than it being just a way to make some extra cash or putting in a few 'skids' before heading abroad for the real money, to use their best bikes and put in some real effort. Some like names, I like speedway and that was an excellent example of speedway as it should be with only the exceptional circumstance of Simon Stead being blocked from riding by the SWC preventing both teams turning-up in full. No compromises, no contrived formula seeding or protecting riders out of their depth, just team speedway as it should be and something that those fools who think only the top riders are worth turning up for are denying themselves from seeing. It's their loss and if they think people respect them or are in awe of them for that silly stance they're deluded. As for the fool trying to insult the PL by wittering on about empty terraces closed due to the death of 96 people just up the road, sometimes words just cannot convey enough contempt. Relieved to hear both riders aren't as badly hurt as was feared. Edited July 29, 2014 by rmc 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
