Fortythirtyeight 838 Posted June 3, 2019 Outside of those stated, JBA , Ostergaard, Berge, not a lot of choice at heat leader level. New rules on averages rule out any possible contenders from the Premiership really ( Bellego, ) so it's a very limited field to chose from and no doubt other clubs thinking of making changes are thinking the same thing......who's out there??? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That might be right, but if it was down popularity,,, Barker might still be there. Sometimes, managerial decisions have to be made for what's best for the club, not what a couple of fans think. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poor 2nd on crap bikes and was riding a moped this season. Good riddance! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although in December 22nd. 2018. Speedway Star. Lunna said that he had been surfing in Indonesia and was fitter than he had ever been (??) Was pleased that he had signed for Newcastle, then just before the beginning of the season decides he is not riding because of fitness/injury problems??.His decision obviously but to me slightly confusing. A bit like recent decision of Zach Wajtknecht's to take time out of speedway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He had purple hair and only ever beat one opposition rider and became a legend for it, he beat Derek Sneddon for a third place and had a song written about it.

So you think signing an assessed 4 point rider ( who actually struggled to score 4 at any time ) is the right move to replace a heat leader average scoring around seven? Theres a reason no club has signed Bukhave , till now, and that reason is he isn't that good. A nice lad and competent on a bike but he's no heat leader as yet.

Oh for crying out loud....at least a couple of people realised what was intended. I was on my phone at the time and it wouldn't let me put a smiley/emoji (or whatever they're called). It was a sarcastic/ironic/sardonic/satirical/derisive comment that was in no way meant to be taken seriously. In other words, a joke. Has everyone got that? I was not being serious.
