  1. Past hour
  2. FTG is no longer a derogatory term as many fans have expressed their liking for this kind of heat and find the passing at some tracks boring. There is no need to defend FTG anymore, nevertheless this defence goes on with some examples being plain daft. If you can’t fathom the intricacies of the first few seconds of a heat and the impact a riders start position has then you need to rewatch some televised meetings. The commentators discuss at length the options open to a rider over the first part of a heat or more importantly options not available. Any passing up to the exit of B3 L1 is almost exclusively influenced by the start position and this is why I call a heat at that point then compare the order come the checkered flag. This is by no means an insult but yesterday only heat 3 & 15 saw a change in order after B3.
  3. If you had seen him in the pits you could see he was trying his hardest to get some sort of set up to work even changed bikes shouting in Danish chucking things about the place ,to travel all the way to Glasgow for 1 point he would have lost money
  4. How do you know it didn't cost them? Maybe he was on a gaurantee? He would also get expences. Maybe Glasgow riders have a different mind set from certain Poole riders.
  5. Catalan, Same Start Marshal maybe sporting a new diguise. There I've edited for you.
  6. I’d be happy if this was the play offs as we can pull back a 14 deficit within 9 heats. In every meeting at Foxhall this season we have suffered 5-1 in heat 13 & 15 which is unacceptable given our top two. In both fixtures we were in touching distance on a close defeat of small win as the rest of the side had done their thing. Harsh on Brady & Dan but everyone has a job to do in their particular slot. I’m confident that they will succeed in these heats come the play offs and help lead us to the ultimate prize once again. Whether they go on an unbeaten 29 ride run again like last year is debatable.
  7. 4 round 17( out of 18) matches next Tuesday 19th August Lublin v Rybnik Lublin 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Rybnik 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Grudziadz v Torun Grudziadz 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Torun 1 Heiselberg 2 B Pedersen 3 Kawczynski 4 Duchinski 5 Lewandowski 6 Ruminski 7 Gorzow v leszno Gorzow 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Leszno 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Zielona Gora v Czestochowa Zielona Gora 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Czestochowa 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
  8. Yes, have you seen his scores at Plymouth in the few meetings he's rode in?
  9. Thanks people. The official attendance was 7,131. Pretty decent. 👍
  10. Today
  11. Stretford, actually. Comes under Trafford MBC.
  12. I think @AceBelle has too many sherbets on match days the amount of dribble they write on here.
  13. Flint got a maximum at Oxford which might come back to help Redcar get to the play -offs which MIGHT cost Glasgow!.Riders just want too earn cash they are not bothered about Club.(averages dictate a riders career )
  14. Ipswich v Leicester final, Ipswich to win over two legs, if i was a Lions fan i would prefer to go with R/R for Becker as coming back from a long injury absence would be a gamble considering how well the facility has worked for them, if they go with a guest could be more of a gamble.
  15. Very reasonable and understanding. According to the fixtures (if I have read them correctly) Beckers Polish team do not have a match until the 24th, so there’s no chance of him competing again prior to the next Leicester fixture. Of course, in the meantime, Luke could fail to recover his fitness adequately in time for the Lions v Witches fixture meaning appropriate medical paperwork is issued making him unavailable for the Lions on Monday.
  16. Never going to bust a gut for Glasgow. The same way a Glasgow rider wouldn't bust a gut for Poole as it could harm your own teams position in the league. Bit silly of Glasgow to do that. Luckily for them it didn't cost them.
  17. The largest crowd in think was when Mark Loram became world champ and on his return the crowd was 6,000. That was in the days where the local media reported attendances to the nearest 500.
  18. Manchester United are based in Salford both only 10 mins from the city centre so dont think thats any issue
  19. Tbf, I think Knudsen has actually been riding on the night of the fixture that has been missed not sat with his trotters up in a hotel room. The rule is there 10.5 p) the SCB are just choosing not to enforce it, the way they throw suspensions around these days they've obviously been nobbled by somebody.
  20. Last years system is irrelevant the new system was put into place so this season its all about the current rule, which is there for all.
  21. no, we go to watch belle vue win first you clown, i wish you would shut the hell up sometimes
  22. Im with you i go to football etc but speedway has always been my favourite sport. Belle Vue lost a lot of fans with the closure of Hyde Road, a lot of fans didnt take to the dog track and just drifted away. The amount of people i speak to who say i used to go the speedway at Hyde Road and who didnt even know about the NSS is unreal. Also we didnt just lose a speedway stadium when the Belle Vue complex closed there was the fun fair, zoo, kings hall where all the top bands played, the ballroom, beer keller, the suites etc, i think thats where the sport lost a lot of fans.
  23. not really a pass is it, bend 2 of lap 1 hahahahahaha
  24. regarding last night, was not a unsurprising result, blodorn rode better than his points suggested, can see hes struggling with confidence right now. zach struggled away again and ill let tate off cos that was a big off he had we might look poor away and i think ipswich will be favs to make the final over us but i cant get that little devil on my shoulder off me that says this happens every year and yet me manage to pull it off as underdogs. our worry is the play offs come to soon really because brady will rightfully be all in on the GPs
