One Big Joke....You dont have to be Inspector morse to figure out that should not fit the planning regs as it stands.Should have never been allowed to start the build in the first place.

In other words ..carry on..the biggest laugh of course is they bulid a stand ( if you can call it that )in a Staduium that only stages Greyhound Meetings that Osbourne in his own Words admits no one watches anymore...some of this stuff you cant make up.

To those who complain and don't even go to meetings, why are to bothering to complain. To those who do go to meetings give the club a chance, I'm sure all are trying their hardest to make a successful club. No one signs a rider expecting to fail. Let's Hope for another 72 pages of positive comments when the last 2 riders are signed. Now cue the anger from those who think I'm a fool.
Odd post if the club sorted out what they moaning about (putting crap teams out each season ) then i expect they would go to the meetings . By the way i don t think you are a fool .

I don't think any club will get enough race winners away from home tbh because every team looks rock solid around their own track, Away wins should be at a premium.
Ipswich and Sheff will

11 hours ago, foreverblue said:They have a rider who just won the Australian title, not sure how he can be regarded as a second string, Magic may not be as good as some of the number ones now but he will still do a great job for the team and Bomber is still a heat leader in my view, Klindt is a great gater and will win many races. I think this team are play off certainties.
Pretty Easy..his Ave is that of a second string..

They're strong title contenders imo.
Out and out No.1, No weak link in the engine room, Strong No.6 all season etc. They tick all the boxes.
Magic is hardly a out and out no 1 . he's a rider going downhill fast hence why he had to ride back here in the first place . as i said before they will wont get enough heat winners away from home to win a a title with this 7 . Play offs would be a good season .
Not sure how 6 second strings tick every box

These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Cotswolds underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire The A-Team.
i love it when a plan comes together

21 minutes ago, Toady said:Agreed, according to the main local paper he has a cosy relationship with the interviewer https://www.devonlive.com/sport/sport-opinion/questions-torquay-united-owner-clarke-8940159 so he probably set the questions himself !
Get the feeling he tends to have the local media in his pocket. Swindon looked like a classic case of that

On 12/15/2023 at 4:53 PM, Toady said:I Agree , However, I don't think he is a particularly clever conman. Bizarrely, where money is involved, there are still too many people willing to accept what he says at face value. A quick check on his business dealings over the years would reveal all. As they say, 'There's none so blind as those who will not see.' Osborne is nothing but a total faker.
Yet again no questions that should have been asked...We know why hes in Torquay to build houses on the ground . No one ever gets a chance to take him to task.. This interview is crap and just a platform to spead his garbage.

Good reserve would score 5 to 7..but the subject is being best in the lesgue so 9 or 10 from 5.etc..of course if you are the best reserve in the league they wont at reserve for long.. but surely that just common sense.

48 minutes ago, DaveWayne said:Poor form ? Now you are definitely on the wind up. The arrival of Tai had seen them linking up really well and Kerr back on form. Not sure what you expect from a number 6, but his last 6 meetings for Sheffield were 5, 7, 5+1, 6, 6+2, 9+4.
For the so called best Reserve in the league ..i dont think 5 7 6. 6 is really anything to shout about....Gilkes outscored him in one those matches .

1 hour ago, spin king said:I think that you will find that Kerr has only been dropped once due to poor form, and that was the 2022 season at Kings Lynn.
Sheffield last season was down to the injuries to other riders and nothing to do with his form.
I would say that Palm Toft is a gamble he never seems to finish a season without injury.
A matter of opinion..Kerr was in poor form just before the team changes .But at the end of day he was dropped- replaced no matter what the reasons.. .
