george.m Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) Happy days are here again!I can smell the methanol already.Speedway returns with a refreshingly new first footer.We throw out the old, and bring in the new.No more Trainspotters kicking off the season, they're busy looking for a Digby to potter round at the back wearing No7.Nope, a star studded team comes to town namely:1. Richard Lawson2. Richie Worrall3. Ben Barker (Yes! That Ben Barker)4. Nike Luna5. Aaron Summers (aka Captain Bloody Fantastic)6. Coty Garcia7. Danny Ayres (he's one of us already!)Then we have the equally star studded Coventry Bees1. Krzysztof Kasprzak2. Kasper Wornya3. Danny King4. James Sarjeant5. Chris Harris6. Martin Knuckey7. Liam CarrMucho mouth watering races in prospect with GP riders, a few Ashfield track record holders and the chance to see five new Tigers in action.Scottish speedway kicks off on Sunday ... Whilst the lawns and rose beds of Edinburgh get tended, and the rider job interviews commence. Edited March 24, 2016 by george.m 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More personality in his right toe than the average human has in totality. Going to be a big fan's favourite.

george.m Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) Power packed pairing at 1/2 wonder who they got that from. Hmm. Let me see. Seven rider teams have been on the go for ... 10 years. Nope. 20 years. Nope. 30 years. Nope. OK I give in. Don't tell me, Edinburgh were the first team EVER in British speedway to have a strong 1/2. Shouldn't let your good riders go then, should you? Boring. Wakey, wakey! Jealousy oozing out of every pore! Feel the burn MrB, feel the burn ....

jenga Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 What's wrong with having a good number 2, havn't you ever had one ? its just that you need a good rider for ht 14. putting nike in the number 4 position in ht 14 with any of their 2 reserves they have could be a bit of a pumping (as your lot say) against them . just pointing it out . i think they are trying to copy m/bra from last year, but eadinbra had an exceptional top 5 and 2 reserves who could hold their own, home and away . i dont see the tigers reserves doing that . with regards having a good number 2 , i had one last night after my curry .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
