You are so  disrespectful of the highest order maybe Silver got it wrong …? Len Silver knows more about the sport than you would ever know  trust me.

I am sure he does. But would you be happy for him to be riding in your team, scoring zero every meeting? 

If yes, then you are talking utter BS.

Paul is taking up a berth that could be given to a rising star who is desperate for a team place. He is old, over weight, and his days of getting close to scoring are long gone. He really doesn’t deserve a team spit and he must know it as well. A club can be loyal to riders but really the Kent fans want to see their team be as competitive as they possibly can be and Paul should hold his hands up and say what everyone can see.  Offer to be a coach and mentor to the juniors. His experience is worth more than his arse over a saddle.

Sad though it is for Paul Hurry  - Steve is absolutely correct. 

Why on earth Len signed Paul straight into a CL berth  -  maybe in the hope of attracting a few nostalgic Lakeside fans to come and watch? - it has clearly been shown to be an error of judgement. 

He has been struggling to complete 4 laps of Central Park without taking a fall, and I really do wonder about his fitness to race competitively after so many injuries.

I have never in my life put my backside over the saddle of a speedway bike. The only time I have sat on a bike was Martin Dugard bike set up for be the gater, leaving fastest time for dropping the clutch.

But I don’t have to be a rider of any standard to witness what was evident in front if my eyes. Anyone with a modicum of speedway knowledge could see that his time has gone. Have Gary May or Rob Lyon been riders? 

Sorry but your post is moronic in the extreme. :icon_smile_clown:

Garry May rode in the seventies but had to retire after nasty injury at Poole.

Finished as a Poole asset

 We can say that about a few riders over the years Bob        Kilb Swindon ( great rider bad back injury) and Eric Boocock 1983 ) never came back but put bums on seats.

I thought it might be for something else as the statement was a bit harsh. But he comes over as really professional esp on SM, so I don't get it! 

A bit of dissent bubbling in the pits apparently - MF didn't want it to become a big issue for other riders/mechanics!!

This was put on twitter earlier and I still don't get what they mean by it!! It was in reference to Zane being sacked.

"Yeah I'm not sure how much of Zane's fan engagement and promo work going back to 2020 went un-noticed by the club. It definitely didn't go un-noticed by the fans."

Clubs can continue post restrictions with streams. It can be geoblocked for eg 50 miles and it can also be done in-house

Can it still geoblock someone if they're using a VPN App. No reason for my question other than curiosity as I'm a bit of a technophobe
