I don’t see him being anything other than a grating tart ala Fricke. Lidsey is the correct spelling.He is bigger talent than Kurtz,don’t know how many matches you have seen with him this season but he is certainly not a gating tart, mixing it with the best IMO.

Can a loanee be loaned on to a Division 2 club over there ? Agree regarding quality of racing but it is easy to see why GB will never reach the top in World Speedway.

Seen a fair bit of him. A reserve in the U.K. and rightly so. Does a little better in Poland where you have to crank the throttle wide open. Have yet to see anything to change my but to give the lad a chance I am willing to change my opinion. Had one good meeting when he came in to replace Kurtz, butas faded since. A mediocre Aussie rider, nothing to see here, move on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) Far from that but a rider who has confidence issues. As I said not a fan of his even though he rode for Poole for several seasons. Found he struggled with pressure and went awol when it really mattered. Ipswich away in the semis last season the prime example. He's a good rider and will serve BV well next season and their fans will like him. But never a GP rider and his level is heat leader in the U.K. and second string Extraleague/heat leader league One Poland. Also, who is Lindsay, stop being pathetic.

racers and royals Posted August 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 One match tomorrow which is NOT ON TV this is because of covid restrictions in Latvia.

Been there, avoided buying the T-Shirt. My first two trips to Wembley were in 1973 to see England/Great Britain win the Daily Mirror and World Team Cup titles that heralded our period of dominance until the Danes took over in the 80s. Having a superb racer as Peter Collins as World Champion was delightful and England's domination (as it was from 1974) eaerned a very useful amount of media attention. It also gave me England 88 Poland 19 (17 5-s and a 3-2 after Ray Wilson fell), which was an abject bore.Only the emergence of the USA saved test matches. To a supporter like me, as I was then before getting involved more seriously from 1985 this was all a bonus. What mattered to me were the fortunes of my team, Rayleigh/Rye House Rockets. We are unlikely to return to those levels of dominance, but then it's the same for Denmark and Sweden who dominated before us. The overwhelming economic might of Poland is hard to be near impossible to challenge until the bubble bursts. We once had those crowds. They can be lost. So, having GB at the top in world speedway would only ever be a pleasant bonus. Getting my team back again is far more important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobMcCaffery Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 Just now, stewmac said: Yes, they are connected to the Varkaus club in Finland. 919km away! The Finns are long-distance travellers. In 1986 I was sent to Leningrad to cover the World Ice Racing Team Final. We stayed in the Hotel Pribaltiskaya which was full of Finns who'd travelled nearly 400 km from Helsinki for a night on the booze. My point about OHO Live was that they had already made the massive journey to Latvia at least twice this year and if there was a slight chance of anyone televising meetings there in the absence of NSport it might be an idea just to take a look just in case. Yes it's unlikely but they have been there and this year. Just worth a quick look just in case. A lead's a lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moomin man 76 Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 35 minutes ago, stewmac said: Yes, they are connected to the Varkaus club in Finland. 919km away! They were filming at Daugapvils for the Baltic League Round One, involving riders from Finland, Estonia and Latvia. They also filmed the day after the Latvian Championship. As noted above, they are all connected to VRT (main rider Jesse Mustonen), who are the main driving forces behind the Baltic League. It would be rather unlikely they would either be able to, or permitted to, film Polish Division One action at Daugapvils. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
