ROAD CLOSED

Good to see Rickys back.

Easy way round this is to call it " UK DIRT TRACK CHAMPIONSHIP " or as Kelvin Tatum would say UK MATERIAL TRACK CHAMPIONSHIPS.

It makes you realise how good Ricky Ashworth was for you, only to be brushed aside and left with only Plymouth as an option. This looks like the start of another cheap team to me full of bu!!5hit and hope.

What about Ricky Ashworth ?

i think it could be the best thing thats happend at sheffield speedway because they will get more fans from different areas, including manchester for sure!, a sunday is a day out for people!... i bet there is alot of people fed up at bell vue that would make the small journey over the hills to sheffield, to get the speedway fix instead of the sh*te they serve up every monday at bell vue!

watch this

I bet Ricky Ashworth had a big smile on his face last night.

Top 16 averages as of last week in order 1 wuffy wuffy wuffy wuuuufffffffyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy 2. Harris 3. Kennett 4. Nicholls 5. King 6. Barker 7. Bridger 8. Allen 9. Stead 10. Ashworth 11. mear 12. Lawson 13. Robson 14. Howe 15.Auty 16. cook. res Lanham res grieves ive not included screeny as he wasnt riding in either semi final . these are the current rolling averages taken from bspa site wheres kennett??????????

Are you sure about that?

Just spoke to a mate of Rickys and he said its true, Ricky wont be going to Plymouth.

Ashworth and Barker to win the pairs, im of to the bookies now!

it's a good job Kennett did'nt win the british final.

So who is the fastest man in British speedway?

Well done Ricky Ashworth! Fastest man in British speedway and king of the premier league. Thats a fantastic achievement for someone who is not a very good speedway rider. Just think what you could win if you was a good speedway rider. A huge well done Ricky mate. Ricky Ashworth plr champion.

Exiting bend 2 on lap 2 Fisher lifted & went across Wright causing Wright to shut off. Fisher then went on to win. Wright clearly not pleased with the ref. The crowd not happy either. Common opinion is that Fisher should have been excluded. **************************** Thanks for viewing! « Last Edit: Today at 06:45:10pm by Andy1 » Report to moderator Logged Thanks to the tiggers forum for the updates
