Brennan could make decent European level, as could Palin, Brennan has more experience. Bickley I think has plateaued and never be more than a second string CL rider. Brennan who i have followed closely since his younger days he rode on the little training track at Blunsdon.He showed real talent in his few camio performances for the Robins three years ago and has something about him Palin also is a nice longterm prospect he will be a regular feature at the NSS a really exciting rider.

Barry Briggs was quoted once as saying the following about Hyde Road..... if you cannot RACE at Hyde road you are no Speedway rider A quote to qualify what a super track we had at Hyde Road. Now we have ridden at the NSS for a while I believe that the NSS Is better than Hyde Road. One more quote about Hyde road from Hans Nielsen this time..... it is the only track where I can be leading going into one of the bends and one rider goes under me with another taking me on the outside coming out of the bend in3rd place 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

False dawn Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 On 2/17/2021 at 5:16 PM, TheWatcher said: But wouldn't it have been nice, and the correct way to do it, for the BSPL to have explained the process to us, the fans, instead of it coming out via a question on this forum? And there you you have the biggest frustration for all fans trying to make sense of rules. It's simple psychology. The BSPL / promoters keep the rules to themselves and then they wonder why social media makes up 10 reasons why they are the way they are. And those reasons are nearly always perceived to be unfair or self serving. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes its fun - and sometimes very frustrating - for fans but the season doesn't start for another 3 months or so!! Any rule change always prompts more negativity so maybe they simply keep things close to their chest until the SCB formally approves and makes them public - usually about 1 month prior to season start.

I think Peter was one of the reserves at the time. I regret never having seen the racing at Hyde Road but although I still live in South London I do get up to the NSS when I can. Just a fantastic track. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a fantastic track. I went to Hackney v Belle Vue , the night before a Wembley world final. Typical Len Silver, he made the introductions of both teams and then made the following announcement..... if Belle Vue have 26 engine failures we will win !!!!!!!
