TotallyHonestJohn Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 1 hour ago, StevePark said: I think George said Smetana would be a 5 when he had a few laps around Brough last season. He rode in the GP Qualifier up at Glasgow (riding Ludvig Lindgren's bikes) and scored 6points. Pavlic rode for Swindon in 2008, so I would assume he'd come in on a converted average - he finished after 8 meetings with an EL average of 8.32, so would be over 13. Pavlic had five home and three away meetings (or vice versa) when it was strict 4 home 4 away to obtain an average so he was on a 4 which should convert to 6.4.... But his 8.32 average does look quite impressive... Just sayin like... Regards THJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno about that, but just saying that if speedway was to be a success in betting shops, it would need to have definitive heat times,,, not like 61.09, but like 19.30 then 19.35 and so on. No messing about with dodgy tapes etc,,,, punters would easily be put off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) Am I the only one who thinks that some of the names being suggested on here are a bit daft? I mean: Jurica Pavlic, Nicki Pedersen, Bjarne Pedersen? Does anyone seriously think any of these riders would entertain Newcastle? Not to mention they'll all no doubt be in Poland next year... Knowing that Tero has gone to Scunthorpe and Ashley has gone to Birmingham and Steve has gone to Poole, this is what I'd like to see... A bit more realistic I think... Mind you... We don't even know if we're going to have a team at all next season!! Ben Barker 7.06 Paul Starke 6.33 Matej Kus 5.63 Matthew Wethers 6.92 Ulrich Ostergaard 5.98 Max Clegg 4.92 Jacob Bukhave 4.00 Yes, pretty terrible team... But I feel something like this is what we can expect... IF we run... I'm still holding out hopes that my dream will come true and the King of Diamonds returns since his team from last season moved up... But I'm not going to be too expectant Edit: Swap Barker and Starke for King and Bacon and it still fits... Either way, not going to do much next season... Just hope we run... Grondal and Jeppesen (Although I seriously doubt he would sign) would be a nice addition too... If Zdenek Simota and Ondrej Smetana (Yes, that's definitely who it was, Steve was right) were lined up for Plymouth and no one else picks them up, maybe we'll see them next season, when we announce our team a lot later than everyone else (Understandably) If Nike Lunna out of his 'break' yet?

If you are talking of daft you are the reason why the word was invented... Barker... Starke and Ully all signed elsewhere... Kus had last year off(ish) to concentrate on his business and I've been told he is doing Poland next year Wethers and Clegg will be a given and to be fair I would like to see Jacob but doubt it will happen... try fitting Ludde in because he's available... (Ruffs just had an orgasm) Oh and definitely no King of Diamonds either... Now that balloon is popped al put me pin away... Regards THJ Oh and we couldn't afford Dan Bewley...

His recent Star article suggested maybe not?! Jesus buddy how long you been doing this? its a guesstimate "gis a break FFS" am just playing the game... If he is doing the UK this year then great I would (me personally) I would like to see him at Newcastle, hes exciting; entertaining and expressed a liking for the track; but as I am not part of the promotion its not my gift to give!!! if he doesn't as the Star article suggested then stick one of them daft names in "its a puppet" like is it not? know what a mean!!! so Pavlic; Ravelic; Ronny Abravamowvic; Puselic; Popadopalic; Tomas Sucmedic (think he once rode for Redcar) or Victor Palovarra or Joel Andersen as they are also available... or anyone else for that matter. "ITS A PUPPET" Anyone really (if we run... Ahem) but he is at this moment in time still available and not as far as I am aware signed up by anyone else in the Championship... So has he decided... Who knows... well you and the SS apparently but if he does change his mind can we have him please? Regards THJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
