I assume there's a valid reason why it's not air fence on all bends? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long are we going to stick with Hodder, and when was the last time he beat a rider. I think it's not the Hodder's fault..... The way the league has been watered down, and with all the clubs tracking NL riders, it was always going to be too tough for some. Hodder is not the only one not scoring points.The young lad down at Poole. got let go last week due to being a out of his depth . Ace Piper should be, with a years experience under his belt be doing a tad better, but he's struggling But then at the other end of the spectrum you have Hagon and Boughen doing extremely well. If you were to drop Hodder, who would you replace him with? Another rider from the NL? Would they do any better? The league has been setup like this, so it was aways going to be on the cards that most would find it too tough stepping up a league.

He needs to be dropped for his own good, he’s shut off going into 1st bends for weeks now, everyone can see it. It’s a shame, as he was fantastic H&A to Workington in March. I would personally give Max Perry the opportunity, as the 3 times they’ve faced each other, Perry has beat him, simple as that really.

Don’t see any point in dropping him.It’s not going to make any difference overall.IMO.It is alearning curve for him, chopping and changing 2pt men isn’t the answer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Dickson missed a trick could have signed Vinnie Foord after the under 21 meeting, maybe tried but not successful,Hodder scored really well against Worky but since then the tracks been slick and has been useless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it all rather sickening! What a complete fool you are , speedway riders get inured daily on speedway tracks all over Europe .its the nature of the sport when 4 riders and machines come into contact during official meetings or practice for racing . The bikes now are faster then previous years, they race on a track with shale on it with usually 4 riders coming into the first bend with a limited space for the machines so there is always going to be crashes and injuries . I’ve watched racing at over 40 tracks in Britain over the years and the chances of serious injuries occurs at all of them .Your digs are always aimed at Scunthorpe or there promotion and is getting tedious I would like to wish Rory all the best in his recovery and hope to see him on a track soon as he has been a brilliant servant to British speedway and first watched him as a 16 year old at Sheffield. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
