Shadders Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) only too wellIt's my go too comment to B4E whenever I want to end a speedway argument. I'll never forget the away meeting at Exeter. It was their final league match and penultimate meeting before they sadly demolished the County Ground stadium. We were on the Western Tour in September, towards the end of the campaign and I was texting to the Speedway Updates site. We'd always been pathetic there, but this time we absolutely murdered em!

David Johnston1 Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Speedway will survive just at a lesser quality. As for the riders guys like Woffinden and Lambert will be laughing. Woffinden is top man in the World Poland and Sweden statistically speaking anyways... and Lambert has been signed in Poland already, not sure by whom but he's been picked up. Harris isn't required very often by Rybnik and Cook still hasn't raced an official meeting for a domestic club. Apart from the two mentioned above all the focus should be on the British leagues. Making sure these lads either have adequate fixtures or allow our GB riders to double up and down. I remember Dave Tatum moaning about Barker being refused to race for Stoke on a 8.04 average so couldn't race for both Stoke and Coventry simultaneously... Stoke brought Klaus Jakobsson in instead. Which in turn ruined Stoke's season and probably did Barker out of a good few bob. We need to look after our boys Oddly enough Edinburgh's top man has been doubling up on a 9-10pt average for 3-4 seasons now, funny how things always work out for the Monarchs I am not up to speed on other leagues so you can correct me if I am wrong. Does some of the Swede's not double up in their country (some of the top riders as well) but not other countries riders. I don't have much time for Craig Cook but I still think he should be allowed to double up (same as other Brits). I would make it a rule that all Brits who want to double up have their team places before a rider from another country is allowed to double up, Having Sam Masters doubling up and Richie Worrall not is not doing British riders any good. Now back to the beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinh88 Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 yes but Elitserian operates on a Tuesday and Allvenskan operates Thursday.... Yes the Swedes do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now back to the beer. Yes riders in Sweden can ride for two teams, the difference is that one league rides on a Tuesday with the other on a Thursday, so there isn't a situation that you have here where the two sides race on the same night. One solution would be that our EL races on a fixed night each week, probably Monday`s, that wouldn't lead to as many fixture clashes between EL and PL.

Monmore Stadium hosts greyhounds on Monday afternoons which would finish around 6pm. Not much time to sort the track out and put the covers down Edited July 23, 2015 by Shads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinh88 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) Alden was riding for Masarna and and Lejonen I'd imagine guys who double up are, or whom have Aspegren, Lindback, AJ, Edberg, MKarlsson, Eklof guys like that Like I say what I find fascinating with the Allvenskan is in the past employing guys like AJ Lindback Bogdanovs but Swedish 2nd tier Speedway isn't all that much better attended than British Speedway. I think its Gnistorna there was a meeting I was watching and they had a tin can for a main stand but in terms of what the camera could see it liked like about 20 folk were standing around the stadium. Even in the Elitserian at Vetlanda last year tracking THJ, Kolodzeij/Sayfutdinov Hampel, Zmarzlik and Woffinden generally on the same night. They don't seem to seem to get huge crowds either. That being said Poland and Sweden have had quite a few clubs drop out in recent times and Czestochowa's case didn't run this year at all. Price you pay for tracking a Speedway Legend in Grigorij Laguta 3x I digress... I think a 10 point win this weekend for the Bandits Edited July 23, 2015 by GrigorijLaguta13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crescent girl Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Just to help them over the hurdle on Saturday, Bandits have a guest (Matej Kus) at No 1 this week for the last time. From August 1, TJ will be No 1 with Claus hopefully be back to avoid r/r at his position. Also interesting to note that Alex Edberg's CMA has gone up over the last month, and he is now the higher reserve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must've been the one I was at where Branford won after Garrity went through the card in the heats. They must have an army of helpers putting the covers over the dog track after the hounds have finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
