Over and over it has pointed at external factors being to blame.. and continues to do so. External factors of course have an influence, but they aren't the primary reason. The digital age began in the late 80's, i know because i was importing the games and consoles. The truth is that most people find speedway very boring and that is not going to change, as fifteen minutes action out of two hours does not grab their 'digitally tuned' attention ....

speedy bill Posted June 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Why did this post develop into Auty v Howarth that was not my point,my point was why a RIDER OF AUTYS talent not being used by a premiership team.And why are teams allowed to use foreign riders at res. In answer to why Auty has struggled over the past two seasons ,he suffered a badly broken hand and mised a large part of the season.Then the following year he was knocked off his bike at the end of a race by that dirty little Aussie Tungate and broke the same bones in his hand.That is why he had two bad seasons this year he is back to his best so someone will benefit from signing him .

phillipsr Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Auty is nowhere near the level of Howarth.. I agree british riders should be getting rides in the top league but young talented riders should be not riders who have failed over and over again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Auty has more of a chance than Howarth at Belle Vue of mixing it and being a spoiler in the British Final. Josh Auty better than Kyle Howarth? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facts still remain Sid that Howarth has had a better average than Auty for the past 2 seasons at both Divisions levels. you also said Howarth would struggle to reach 6.50 away average if he wasn’t at Wolves. Yet his 2017 away average was over 6.7. sometimes facts override opinions. Still hope Josh gets a top flight place tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice edit, you've got it right now. Steve, in this case, does know. I notice you don't mention Auty's mighty 3pts when Scunthorpe rode at Sheffield. Howarth scored 12. Anyone can pick one race and decide that race makes a rider better than another. As Steve has said, Howarth has averaged higher than Auty in both 2016 and 2017 in both leagues. Not only that but riding on completely different types of track in each league. Whether Auty should get a chance or not in the top league is a completely different topic. Auty is still only 27, although he has been around for a long time. It's not too late to make something more of his career if he can dedicate himself and stay injury free.

You are correct Brum average wise the figures don't lie for me Doyle is a great example for any rider to try to keep on improving to the best level possible. Howarth/Garrity,/Auty,/ Worrall/Harris,/ etc) for me are all in the same group level wise and Woffinden,Lambert,Bewley,S.Worrall, Cook are the only five that are clear of the bunch Edited June 5, 2018 by Sidney the robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good post Witcher the last sentence totally correct, yes Auty did have a nightmare meeting at Sheffield a fall and a exclusion but he actually rode well for three points.He put that right in the Semi Final at Owlerton beating Rory(he has been superb) Lambert, Bewley,Howarth can he keep the consistency up ? probably not that is the key consistency Auty 3 Howarth 1 in the 2018 head to head stats.

As for Cook and Worrall they are above these and Lambert above all listed but Woffinden is on another planet compared to any other Brit and 35 from 12 rides compared to 11 from Lambert and Cook shows that clearly. Give it three years and I'm sure we will see it as Woffinden still clear but Lambert Bewley Bickley Flint and a few others as the leading Brits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWitcher Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Ah well Sidney was right. Auty showed Howarth he is the better rider when it really matters... Oh wait... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
