Wake Up Plymouth
Roger MARTIN replied to DexterBeauregarde's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Good post, but the view from between bend two and the stand where me and the lads did stand is not the same, we have now to go on the back straight stand to see bend three, the meetings this year overall have been top PL meetings, and the view from the stand is very good, yes the team could do with a change at reserve, but I would think the club are looking at that, no matter what I will be there, instead of so-called supporters moaning, get down there and support it, yes I have a moan now and again, but that wont stop me going, its great racing, with great riders, and great company. -
Plymouth V Somerset (afc) 29/03/2014
Roger MARTIN replied to SomersetBlue's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I can't see the team staying has it is, your right Kalle can't take 7 rides week in week out, and when he moves up the team will not do well at reserve level, but if the Plymouth manager is any good he will see that, and act, if he don't then he isn't worth his salt has a team manager. -

Roger MARTIN replied to SomersetBlue's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Grow up, when you say last weekend, does that include Friday, when your team hammered a poor team, no sorry your team didn't did they, staying on your bike is a big thing in speedway, something a few of your riders couldn't do on Saturday, must of been one of those non world beater weekends from Somerset. -

Two weeks later they look good, being such a no all, you should no better than right a team off, before the PL season starts, or are you now going to say, Somerset look poor. -
Plymouth V Somerset Sat 19th April

I don't think you can call it cheating, just gamesmanship, Ivan Mauger was one of the best at it, and you cant call him a cheat. -
Plymouth V Ipswich League Cup 11th April
Roger MARTIN replied to Had Enough's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
You got to wonder that they bring Reade back this year, yet he was a lot worse than Schramm was last year, Chris showed on Friday that he is different class than Reade, to be honest I don't think Reade is in the top dozen NL riders. He made it look easy on Friday. -
Rye House V Plymouth League Cup 5 April
Roger MARTIN replied to Vincent Vega's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Yeh his bike, most of the time, well it did after heat1 on Friday, he is in my book what every PL side needs to build a team, a great number 1, and he does what it says on the tin, gets the team points, he's a out and out winner, we should be happy he wants to ride for the club. Not everyone's cup of tea is Ben, but one thing for sure, he knows how to entertain the supporters, and to be honest, that's all that interest me, what he gets up to off the track, is his own business, and i'm sure that's the same with Lee, you cant say well done lad to him on the track, then slap his wrist off the track, and tell him to behave. -
Plymouth V Rye House League Cup 4 April
Roger MARTIN replied to Vincent Vega's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
That's a very good post Penny Cross, agree 100%, it was also good to see Kyle out giving advice to Ben, one if not the best I have seen a Plymouth side ride at home, and I have been going since the start, every race had something in it, Simota's race around the boards for four laps was a pleasure to witness, and worth more than the £14 i paid to get in, and Katajista's four laps with Kennett was up there to. -

Great day for it, sunny and dry. -
Plymouth V Somerset (afc) 29/03/2014
Roger MARTIN replied to SomersetBlue's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Correct with your thinking that the majority of supporters are thinking they have reached the top end of their capabilities, but I think the majority of supporters are happy the club are operating a NL team, with a different team manager I don't know why anyone would think that binning the NL team would make the PL side any better, I think putting the Demons NL team together, didn't take to long to do, and i'm sure any club running two sides wouldn't think that way, if they did there wouldn't be a NL. -
One step forward, two steps back, Simota heat-leader, don't think so.

Who's talking about Alex Davies, Jason is the Australian number 2, that's not proven at the highest level, maybe in Australia, not until he gets into the Speedway GP's can any rider say he is proven at the highest level, every Speedway riders ambition in the ride in the Speedway GP's, because then they can say they have proved they can ride at the highest level, until then he has proved nothing, except he can ride in the level below that.
-
Somerset promoter Debbie Hancock said: “Jason has qualified, by virtue of his second place finish in the recent Australian Championships, for the Grand Prix qualifying meetings in 2014, which could ultimately see him lining up in the World Championship GP Series in 2015. It was felt that in order to give him the best chance possible to do this, he should be pitting himself on a consistent basis against top quality opposition and to do this he needs to be riding in the Elite League. Where does it say any rider has to be the best available, Debbie Hancock is giving the reason, read it and digest, if you can, nothing about being proven at the highest level, it's all down to Jason's second place finish in the recent Australian Championship.

It could but what makes being a Speedway rider any differente then anyone else looking to come to Britain to work, if you involve MPs in visa problems, you will open it up to everyone who has had a visa turned down, and i don't think any MP will want to get involved with such a potentially massive issue that will involve much more than Speedway riders, to single them out from anyone else, would i feel be wrong, and any MP doing his job i feel might see it the same way.
-
This is all to do with thick Australians not looking into the rules, now what they are doing is passing the buck onto the BSPA and hope they can get them somethings they should have got sorted before they went back back home, after the season finished, its great to see riders like Doyle, Davies and Nelson in this Country riding, but this is all down to them, END OF !

Looks like the team will be. 1, Tim Webster. 2, Danny Stoneman. 3, Ben Rhead. 4, Matt Bates. 5, Lee Smart. 6, Richard Andrews. 7, James Shanes. If you believe what the papers say.

I would take him, or Nicolas Covatti

I hope so

Will the Bank Holidays be evening meetings Mike, or afternoon meetings.

Doesn't make sence to me to judge any rider before we have seen him ride, to many experts on this site that do that, i would rather give a young British lad a chance, but i will wait and see what Benko can do on the track first, if he's not up to it, he will be sent back to Hungary, if he is good luck to the lad.
