Actually, I think the purpose of fixed race nights was to allow for the dreaded doubling up 13 hours ago, Sully said: Awful racing though. Not sure if just down to track conditions or that is the standard? Track conditions, we had a massive cloud burst around 4pm, Worrall said that if the track had been like it was last year then it wouldn't have taken place. Which is a shame, because I think some of the bumps last year actually added to the racing, swings and roundabouts though. I'll reserve judgement on the track "improvements" until it's prepared without any extreme weather intervention 1 hour ago, 1 valve said: It seems that NP has come to terms with the inevitable fact that the more races a rider has, the more risk to injury there is and recognises that at this late stage of his career, his body is not likely to be able to take much more. Sure, he still chooses to race and continue run the risks, but the risks are lower with fewer rides and frankly it is good he has come to terms with the fact. He gave it a go at Peterborough but unfortunately for everybody, learnt the lesson the hard way. Speedway riders should take heed from the fight game where far too many boxers have taken that "one fight too many" - Good luck Nicki for however long your speedway career continues, you have never ridden for clubs I support, but I will be forever grateful for the hours of entertainment you have provided - even if some of it made my blood boil at the time! I think this may have come across better if Nicki had released some kind of video statement and owned it rather than letting speculation grow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralMelchett Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, startline sid said: actually i do believe him as he has aiways seemd to me to be to be very honest with his statements - guess the fall gave him a big reallity check and perhaps he should quit altogether (but obviously his decision) as it was an awful crash he had last year - good luck Niki no hard feelings from me Quite right - we have to decide on stopping something at some point, for him he has been riding for 25 years or more - I can remember seeing him at Owlerton in 98, for all we know this might be his last season in Poland also. I remember the Malcolm Simmons fiasco at Arena in 89 or was it 90, came back to ride did really well - then bust his ankle mid season never came back but it took ages for the fact he'd decided to call in a day (at 43) to filter through. He admitted later he'd lost the desire to race etc - fair enough but come out and say that and be honest.

He got NP in at great cost. His fault NP bottled it. Nope...RW was slagged off as well as a Buster.'s signing... Mt has done nothing he promised !! I have no connection with Buster apart from seeing him walk his dog a few times. But some Panthers fans need to give their head a wobble. Spot on ........... with one so-called "supporter" in particular being a constant moaner about anything remotely Buster related. Don't recollect that same moaner slagging everthing off a couple of years back when they took the league title! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
