ouch Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 I'd be surprised if the BSPA had any involvement as they have told Stefan he will get no assistance during the world U21 even though he's the first Brit for years to qualify.

Daytripper Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 I know Neal Vatcher gets a lot of criticism on here from time to time, but i'd just like to publicly thank the BSPA for organising it, and him for coming to Macon in the south of France straight from last Fridays meeting and spending all day and evening at Adam's side. He was on top of the game in terms of motivation, points needed and keeping Adam calm. We were unlucky not to get the win, but to be only a point behind a quick Czech and in front of some fast Poles and Germans was a great feeling . Onwards and upwards to the final in Denmark. Well said . Most people have no idea of the enormous time and effort Neil puts in behind the scenes to helping young riders, in addition to holding down a full time job outside of speedway. Well done to Adam as well . I don't know what you are feeding him on but he is starting to look a totally different (and much improved ) rider the last few weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdmc82 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 With both Birks & Boxall looking likely to be out injured for a while, I wonder what Lakeside will do at reserve. Esp when you can only use the same Draft guest 4 times throughout the season. At least now they have Charles Wright as an option as well.

E I Addio Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) With both Birks & Boxall looking likely to be out injured for a while, I wonder what Lakeside will do at reserve. Esp when you can only use the same Draft guest 4 times throughout the season. At least now they have Charles Wright as an option as well.Ashley was going to miss the next home meeting anyway and Ben Morely had already been booked. This does expose the weakness of the EDR draft once again . The difference in ability is so great that when a top tier rider is injured/unavailable it is almost impossible to find a suitable guest. If Kim is out for long it will be a massive blow, not just because of his improved average this year but also because of his riding style. He is probably the best rider since Jonas Davidsson at his peak around the white line at Lakeside which means he can go out with any othe member of the team and leave them plenty of room round the outside, whereas some of the others tend to like the same piece of track. Dave Watt is probably the best choice of guest if available and if Belle Vue have not already grabbed him in place of Craig Cook.

SteveLyric2 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Agree Nilsson is a blow, but you have a wide choice of guests for next week's away meetings which I'm sure will produce a couple of track specialists! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble is all the guests except Davey have had howlers this year......Doyle 6, Lindgren 5 ,Rory 4. What next ? Let's just hope K. Bear Esq, has someting else booked next week !

Chuffed for Adam a great day for him in a difficult round,a disgrace he has not got a PL track.Cant understand why loads of lower end foreign riders get endless chances any chance of getting a PL place anytime soon.? i hope so.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 5 Friday tracks out of 13 in the PL and Lakeside on a Friday too and with priority = no PL for Adam IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 5 Friday tracks out of 13 in the PL and Lakeside on a Friday too and with priority = no PL for Adam IMO Eh? In case you didn't notice Garrity and Serjeant both ride EL on a Friday and have PL teams (although Garrity didn't start the season in the PL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case you didn't notice Garrity and Serjeant both ride EL on a Friday and have PL teams (although Garrity didn't start the season in the PL)Garrity gave up his original place - possibily because of priority issues and Sarjeant was such a bargain 3 pointer it was worth the downsides.I believe that had Adam not been drafted with Lakeside and/or wasnt priorised to the EL that he wouldve had a PL place this year.

waiheke1 Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) The simple fact is that there are not enough riders for the number of teams we have in the UK. Doubling up, fast track reserves-papers over the cracks Are there any other sports where a player (roder/driver) rides for two teams in the same country? Rugby. Players play super 15 for one team and npc for another though seasons do not run concurrently. When nz had its national football championship in the summer players would have a winter team and a summer team.Edited to add some rugby players might also play club grade rugby as well Edited July 5, 2015 by waihekeaces1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countershaftcounter Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 I'd heard that Adam had a couple of late PL offers but it would have meant dropping the Brummies in the poo one week before the start of the season. Also under current rules he's limited to what he can accept in the way of guest bookings etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie4388 Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Ash Birks season over he just announced on twitter. ashley birks @ashley_birks 1m1 minute ago Not good news today on the shoulder back again next week for more scans and decisions, but my season is finished thanks to both clubs +fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) Any word from Lakeside on if they are going to bring in a replacement for Birks? With them only being able to use riders below him as guests, it limits them a lot. Going to get even more restricted soon as they have used Wilkinson & J Wright 3 times already so only able to use them as guests on one more occasion.
