Flappy Posted July 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) Both King's Lynn and Peterborough would currently improve by adding Tungate. He's not everyone's cup of tea but is a solid enough rider at home in particular. With Palin out for the season will need a new rising star also whether that be at 7 or 8. There has to be better than Jenkins surely? Edited July 15, 2022 by Flappy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismorton Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 After last season What an absolute disaster of a season...things could not have been any worse and we just keep plodding on with being crap with hardly any press releases.. wouldn't happen in a professional sport.

Botwell if any, tbf I think there’s limited options R/S wise…. Edwards is probably one of the best bar Brennan and obviously taken by Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he has been dropped by both his British teams or left off his own back and riding only in the junior Polish league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considerably more than over here I seem to remember. The Poles are using the league to develop young talent of all nations so they have enough riders for the long term to keep their leagues the ones to be in, and therefore keep the massive sponsorships and TV coverage.. No doubt though they will still keep rules to protect Polish places in the septets.. Dont sit on their laurels the Poles.. Thinking everything will stay the same forever was a clear failing of the UK in the early 80's by reducing team spaces for British riders, and towards the end of the 90's as the GP's came along and they failed to react to them..

Whether they run these leagues or not the best riders will end up over there imo ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cheese Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 Hans Andersen favourite in the 1.30 at Curragh this afternoon. Unusual way of trying to find form but good luck to him! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In many ways it is a ridiculous sport, however naming an old style number 8 when using RR isn't. It's something that should happen. On another note looking at some old photos of Ipswich circa 1990 they had a squad of 11 riders & no doubling up. Speedway the only sport to have spent 30 years in reverse! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
