    World Cup Race Off - 18th July 2013

    Oh dear. Surely it will get better??
  2. At the moment may be. As a rider overall, they're the same. Will never be good enough for top level International Speedway
  3. Because he's of the same standard as Kennett. King & Kennett should be excluded from any future GB squads

    Brits Not Supporting Team Gb

    GB all the way in International events. Just a thought though, most of the Danish, US & Swedish flags being waved yesterday & Twitter comments of supporting other nations came from young girls & women. Is it as simple as the chicks dig the di, well ya know what I'm saying

    Match Programmes

    I just find it difficult to take from Peterborough, especially when it's a local derby knowing full well more away fans will purchase a programme. Programmes are always in the season budget. If the fixture isn't a rearranged one like Friday (Peterborough v King's Lynn) Promoters should issue the relevant programme, not a postponed Belle Vue one.

    World Cup Race Off - 18th July 2013

    It is and man for man over Australia I think we're stronger. Let Ward have his maximum, we'll win it on the Joker ride. 1, Ward - Woffinden 2, Batchelor - Harris 3, Doyle - Barker 4, Woodward - Bridger It really is game on folks!!!!!!! Get through this, that's 3rd place in the bank. But, those pesky Latvians will be spoilers for someone.

    A rider only loses confidence from pressure. That's when good management comes into play. Arm round the shoulder or the bollocking in the bogs etc. You learn how rider's react from certain approaches from their own mental attitude. The problem with Middlo is he treats everybody the same regardless.

    As I said, I kind of agree with you on that point but we have to try. We can't keep wheeling out garbage like King & Kennett who's careers are at a level that is never going to improve on the International scene. You have to try new. Cook got a run out tonight & Bridger should have joined him. Then the lowest scorer should have made way for Barker. That simple. It's not hindsight for me as I've said it from day one. Middlo as GB manager should always be looking forward but always looks at the here & now. As an International manager it's a ridiculous approach. IMO for 2014 GB should be looking past Harris as he's found his level and doesn't look like improving, if ya get what I mean like

    It was Travis. He's Greg's full time mechanic

    Didn't miss the point at all as I believe Middlo has always been inept at management & your above post is pretty much bang on. What concerns me more is I'd read Tweets saying it was actually Morris that picked Kennett. Where on earth did those comments come from??? 1, is that true? 2, if so, who actually is the TeamGB manager?

    When you say 'our' manager, is that in reference to GB or Poole? If Poole he's had the financial backing to make him look better with World class rider's. If it's in reference to GB he's been an utter disaster. 2004 is 9 years ago. If living off that is keeping him in the job, British Speedway on the World stage has no hope what so ever.

    It's only unfair if it isn't true. When did Kennett show his best. That's correct, when the drill came into play. Facts

    Do not write the Latvians off. Could be real spoilers

    Be fair folks, Kennett was only any good when he took a bloody drill to his exhaust. The blokes utter garbage and always has been.

    Jesus christ. Picking Danny King is from the same batch as Eddie Kennett. Bottles any fighting battles. He's had his chance. We need full on fighter's and from that prospective it can only be Bridger & Barker for the race-off

    Absolutely shocking racing so far. Utter utter garbage for King's Lynn

    I agree to a point but the last couple World Cup meetings we haven't had this kind of hot weather to deal with in the past. Keeping control of the dust will be hard work.

    King's Lynn Stars 2013

    I'm under the impression JC is extremely busy with his own business venture but is doing bits & pieces in the background still. He's still registered as a co-promoter. He does have an account on this forum and does read so he may reply regarding his position at some point.

    Like yesterday I expect the track not to be up to Buster's usual standard with the race format restrictions. It's gonna be a complete dust bowl tonight I would expect so passing could be at a minimum Let just hope it doesn't hamper the superslow gating Brits. Still ccan't wait though & hopefully the atmosphere will be electric COME ON TEAMGB!!!!!!!!
  21. That had to be one of the worst World Cup meetings I've seen in a while.
  22. Nope, you're right because the coverage is exactly the same & I mean exactly. Sky showed so much commitment to Speedway they didn't even show 1 of the Play-Off semi finals last season. Sky put quite a few of their GP's on the red button which many thousand's couldn't view. Sky was in no way better or worse. Schedule's are what they are & with Speedway being a minority / specialist sport we have to accept everything we can get. We have no right to demands right now.

    I think we'll be sticking with what we've got and just hope they all come good just in time

    Injuries

    Peter Johns & Gary Havelock Tweeted that Kelv talked crap & lives in the past regarding those comments though. But, I'm not sure a modern day engine tuner is likely to agree with Kelv is he as that would be a sure fire way to destroy ya own business.
  25. Middlo also said on Twitter that "hos hands are tied for King's Lynn Monday".
