lbw 869 Posted August 7, 2021 On paper Pirates shud av won and if you would like my experience of all things speedway I've been goin for 42 years, travelled the UK & Europe. Bandits did themselves proud & both sides had mixed fortunes with Havvy makin a reet couple of duff calls. Maybe he asked Hume to ride in heat 12, dunno.......riders do turn rides down, dunno. We can be quick to judge before we know the facts. Fair play to The Bandits, I thought we wud win by 10 tonight but we didn't. Move on........... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So much so I wondered why there was talk of improving the track.. They certainly seemed to have little issue passing opponents.. The entrance and exit of the bends were narrow,so they took bit of the football pitch to widen them to try and make more racing lines ,unfortunately it’s not had the desired effect as there is still only one fast racing line when the track is slick.(which seems to be most weeks).Gate and go speedway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can only see an away win with your lot having 3 ex Newcastle riders ( including 2 number 1’s) in your side plus Rory Schlein who has rode the track umpteen times and won individual titles there .. Hope to see you tomorrow and say hello 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 7, 2021 Just spoke to Danny King who said we should have won that. But he also said the gate 4 wins, 12 out of 15, made it so difficult on what is a track that is (almost) impossible to pass on. But we will have to take it on the chin and move on. Hopefully very soon we will go full strength then watch out the rest of the league! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
