Steve Shovlar Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 With the very sad new coming through this afternoon about the death of the Queen, it looks unlikely this fixture will now go ahead, putting more pressure on a congested fixture list. I am guessing that we will have a clearer picture tomorrow when announcements are made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drugs have no part in sport.an illegal substance is not prescription or taking a couple of extra paracetamol. Once again you make completely unsubstantiated comments. Legal substances taken to excess are not illegal drugs. Legal substances taken to excess is stupid, dangerous and wrong. Hence the ban of way less than 2 years. Where is your evidence that illegal drugs were taken. People in glass houses should not throw stones. That applies to the past and present of riders you are quite happy to support. Riders you are happy to support have done far worse and been accused of far worse. No need to go further on that matter on a public forum. People who know do know, people in the sport do know, people affected do know, no need to name names, let's leave the hypocracy to you.. and you are a complete hypocrite to not see that fact. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate Steve Shovlar is a complete moron who sadly gets his kicks in life from trying to be funny and in his own warped mind enjoys trying to wind people up for his own pleasure with his trousers round his ankles as he reads the replies Sadly he doesn’t know eff all about Speedway it doesn’t exist outside Poole The man thinks MPT fenced himself when the whole speedway world saw the evidence Now Ben Barker we know is a bit of a fool in speedway circles but you have to laugh at the Shovlar comments …. Saying he was lucky not to get 2 years This from a man who backed Darcy Ward and everything he did wrong …. That was ok pirate pride lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about wonder boy Darcy Ward when he got suspended for being drunk and had he not been tested then there's every chance he would've ridden the following day potentially endangering opponents. I bet you still thought the sun shined out his hoop, like middleditch etc who continuously backed him after every misdemeanor. Did you still support him?

HGould Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Very slow off the mark in Poole about the 2nd Leg of this match on Wednesday. At least Plymouth have confirmed their Teams for both Legs. https://plymouth-speedway.com/latest-news/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To paraphrase Eric Morecambe, they have the same 1-7 but not necessarily in the same order!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No true, so they would have to use Flint in both meetings, I know we did it years ago against Kings Lynn with Nick Morris and Adam Ellis but I thought the rule had been changed so this didn't happen anymore.

Redtruck Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 They’ve got barker at 3 at home and and 1 away but his average is lower than Kennets surely a typo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGould Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Barker and Kennett appear to have same average to 2 decimal places according to BSPL website. How many decimal places to they go to in terms of splitting / deciding? At some statistical point can they decide who to use at No 1 if the same average?

You're looking at the August averages (both 8.40). For September, Kennett remained on 8.40, while Barker dropped to 8.00. 14 minutes ago, Fromafar said: Might depend on the guests average,Barker might be higher than Flint.Thereagain could be aTypo. The guest assumes the average and team position of the rider he's replacing. Looks like a typo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
