TurnTwo Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Around lakeside both are better than Clegg and waj has more growth than both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East End Fan Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 As I have said before, Clegg will be the best thing to have happened to Stoke for several years. An out and out Number One at this level and a reason for fans to pay their money to see him in action at all the N.L. tracks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ommer Mon Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Well done to Stoke on an excellent signing. Cleggy could turn out to be he top NL performer this year. All they need to sort out now is a similar quality track electrician and it could be a good season. Hope they get a few more through the turnstiles on the back of this.

szkocjasid Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 I did think Stoke looked a pretty weak team before, now with a "true" number one, they look a bit of a different proposition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could make that argument about plenty of riders being "too good" same as many riders "not progressing" and blocking spots of other potential riders. Im not sure anyone is "too good" for the NL as riders & the product as a whole will only get stronger riding against stronger opposition.

Ommer Mon Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 As Sings 4 Speedway said I think you need a few good quality riders so that the youngsters can have a standard to aim for. I'm thinking more of some other teams than Stoke here perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar could be said of riders being too good for the CL that ride in the PL, depriving riders of CL spots. If they had kept the "2 Brits per CL team", it might have helped. The adding & removing of certain rules, this year, will not help British Speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moleman27 Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Yes possibly, but reducing riders who can double up in both the CL and PL will help as anyone above a 6pt PL average cannot ride in the CL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fubar Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 I see that the Pride of the Potteries is scheduled for 7 April. Do you think it will be an illuminating experience or should I give it a miss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Buddhists go through many cycles of death and re-birth which we call samsara. Obviously, we are seeking release from this constant cycle (nirvana) but this is not easy to attain. It is quite possible that you knew me as somebody you refer to as "Bundy" before my latest re-incarnation and I am sure that you will see that my behaviour and actions (karma) have enabled me to come back rather higher up the pecking order and I may soon be a deva or assura. If my karma had been bad then I would surely have returned to this place as a tortured soul such as an earthworm, an earwig or most desperate of all, a Loomer Road season ticket holder. Since I only appear to be granted about three postings a week, I hope that you will be suitably grateful that I have used up my valuable allowance to deal with your enquiry.

happy potter Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 a Loomer Road season ticket holder. You don't want to be one of them mate, not worth the ink that is printed on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fubar Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 I don't think they actually print them out. You just pull up at Gloomy Road's gates, wink at the 2 happy souls who hover about there and tell 'em your a mate of Dave's. They wave you straight into the executive car park and your reserved seats are polished and waiting for you. What's not to like? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the rarity factor added to its value begs the question what is rarer a Loomer season ticket or a smile from the woman on the gate? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 There is no doubt that Stoke has its faults & that finances are a large factor of this but there are plenty of positives too like the track shape is good, it can produce good racing & the viewing is excellent. What often lets down visits there is the approach from the club. If they had the IOW style upbeat attitude along with a welcoming atmosphere you would find many are far more forgiving. Every year i hope to see Stoke succeed on the track but for them to succeed off track they need to accept the failings and look to address them one step at a time rather than deny they even exist. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
