Genuinely curious if people of his level can make a living from speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, Pickering saved the day! It's a shi#e situation that we find ourselves in, but if there's enough people to support a sh#te situation, then it will continue I guess. I havent been since the 'Ellis-gate' bullsh#t and I havent missed it! Edited June 16, 2022 by GiveusaB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you really surprised? The way forward apparently is just say nothing about anything at all! No comment about the performance on Sunday No comment about progress with team changes No injury update on Paul or Matty No thank you to the fans for still paying their money to watch two consecutive home drubbings. Just stay silent and put out a few adverts for the Poole match and that will suffice. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those words seem to be some of the oft most used on here pre season when fans are on discussing their potential teams.. And I often wonder to myself.. "How? And Why?".... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has done a lot more than Procter. IMO.There are very few make it to the Top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has happened since the year dot when "5pt second strings" became the "endangered species" each season.. Decent HL's and decent reserves are shoe ins... One lad I used to know well was a master at finishing the season at a "just right" average for the following year.. A "six point man all day long" who always ended his seasons on five point something.... Never missed a season start in many, many years.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
