Col Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) No ruts, no blue groove, little dust. Works for me. Even gates? Philip Hellstroem-Baengs Swedish season is over, sign him up! He has impressed on the TV, only 16 I think. Edited August 21, 2019 by Col Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most would not be strong enough or physically capable to do that job.Now people will/may disagree but that is just a fact . Can I ask what you know about speedway track prep? Have you ever done the job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The volunteers who pull the loose little bit of shale/gravel back every now and then are peeing in the wind. you need proper people with proper equipment like myself . problem is it comes at a cost . The track graders rakes dont even have teeth there flat . I think B'ham need a 'skilled' track curator since 'Terry' has left ? may be you could open discussions with them? ( genuine suggestion...)

Are there really no other options out there? He only averaged 2 points a meeting earlier in the year. I know the season is coming to the end but still we could get someone in with a view to next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 If Thomsen gets an average from the remaining fixtures, isn't that giving another option for next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney the robin Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 Thomsen back odviously he hasn't shown he is good anough yet, also the Dane is aloud to have a stint at reserve.What real shabby treatment Nathan Stoneman and Danyon Hume have been dealt this season really poor we should be helping our lads not hindering them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 Hume ,,Morley ,,,,Stoneman ,,,should all have been considered in front of a foreign rider of poor ability. What's the matter with these promoters nowdays 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waco Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 Morley has a higher average than both has been National league riders champion twice.but then your an expert on booze in Aussie...I can't compete with that ,! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is absolute garbage at this level though and has had many chances . Why not try Thomsen? Having a higher average than the other two means absolutely sod all. Barrie Evans used to be superb in the NL and then rubbish in the Championship , much like Morley. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing i would say is Pinny, Morley has achieved his average in a very tough 1/5 position and the Championship is a tough old league.Be interesting to see if Eastbourne replace Wood with Hume i don't know if the rules prevent it but you would think Connor Mountain would appreciate extra rides in the NL.? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinny Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Im sorry but Morley has been around for ages with Rye , Arena and Eastie and hasnt done anything . Espiecially in the main body of the team. Hume , Stoneman and Mountain are all younger and have some potential. Morley no. If i was a promoter i certainly wouldnt touch him. Been many around like him before , good in the 3rd tier rubbish in the second. Barrie Evans , Martin Williams are two i remember at Newport, Chris Courage is another , Karl Mason ..... good in the conference but rubbish when stepping up.

One thing i will say though Pinny Ben really has tried to get better on the bigger tracks hence his move to the Isle of Wight.I do see your point though and Hume/Stoneman with prolonged injury free runs are championship riders.Your point about Evans is spot on and going back to the old Conference league the career of James Wright really disappointed me he was terrific for Buxton and Worky and also had a decent time as a robin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckerroo Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 You need improvers, hume and Stoneman are improvers but very injury prone, morleys best 2 tracks are shut and he has no improvement in him at all, his level is what he is, that's why at 4.81 pre season he was a bad bet, on a 3 then ok but his average was attained at lakeside where 90 % away riders cant handle. People said Eastbourne did wrong moving Jason Edwards in, but hes 16, trying hard and getting a few points, great for his future development.

Danny Phillips. Granted he's had a few accidents but not getting any better. Unfortunately for us. But other riders for the Diamonds are going through a bad spell. Worst team for the Diamonds for years. Never out of the top 3 with Ian Thomas but generally near the bottom 3 now. Ian Thomas must be spinning in his grave.
