  1. Past hour
  2. Absolutely no contact. Few riders negotiated the outside line on either pair of bends with any confidence.
  3. Earlier in the season kemp put all his eggs n the polish basket, but after a few weeks of not being picked or limited fixtures, I think he has now decided/ been persuaded to return to British speedway. Think he will have a point to prove and some wages to earn and score some good points for the Comets
  4. The FIM schedule should have been taken into account before this meeting was arranged. The young kids want to be on an international stage as well as a British stage
  5. I was going to say that but I thought i would let it go. New Zealand champion.
  6. No different to Woffinden. If he has a British passport then good for him, makes it easier for him to race over here. Same with Loftus at Edinburgh as well ain’t it?
  7. NSS & Wroclaw are the best 2 tracks, but agree they lose it all when they are too grippy.
  8. So, is Bewley back riding this Sunday - was sure I saw a post on social media saying he was? If so, will he turn out for Belle Vue on Monday or does Doyle have to remain for the full 28 days?
  9. Today
  10. Agree to disagree but you are wrong 😂
  11. Do we know if it is Garritty, or is it just speculation?
  12. But we all know they were left with the scraps and as a result have a team where 50% of the time you have three possible riders who don't fancy it. You could carry 1 but you can't carry 3 with that mindset, if Zagar comes back and is 50% interested he could still do a job in this standard of league but they need to get rid of another one of the disinterested gang but its that same old question who would come if anyone.
  13. Another blast from the past if I remember correctly big things were expected of the boy but he was thrown into an already seriously weak Lynn team from the off had blue leathers if I remember correctly ?
  14. I'm glad I grew up watching Gordon Kennett...a master of the white line and passed many opponents and created so many special memories! Sadly missed but his legacy lives on!
  15. Pete was the other end of the scale zero empathy and always looked permanently miserable but as you say he knew how to run a team I can remember years ago when Wolves just about held Cradley in an away match and somehow Pete had Sam or Ronnie Correy out in every other heat and both were on fire that night.
  16. The reason Drew didn't resign for Berwick was the logistics involved with us being a Saturday track, he had at the time basically said he wouldn't be riding Championship.
  17. Not much to say except that, once again, the Foxes only had 5 riders, but a different 5! Thomson should have had 6 rides but that's what you get with an inexperienced team manager, I suppose. Racing was apparently poor, crowd was apparently good. Hopefully the first improves before the second falls. I'll be there a week on Monday and just enjoy having something local for the rest of the season!
  18. I know hindsight is 20/20 but Kemp should have been signed long before they even considered Cookie. No disrespect at all because it's obvious that Cook definitely still has what it takes, but his ability to just disappear when needed is just not good enough as a professional rider. I feel it's the end of his career now - not because he can't do it, but no promoter will risk it any more. A massive shame when you consider that not too long ago he was the 2nd best british rider we had.
  19. Expecting a close meeting tomorrow. Harris has never dominated at our spot, but i expect all the other riders will do well.
  20. Most programme's contain little of relevance to the visitors other than team profile so an insert with team profile of new visitors on the back makes sense.
  21. Etherington and Workington parted ways mutually. He knew he was no where near ready. Spencer is a better rider than Whalley, although Whalley may have a higher ceiling. Also, it isnt the same. Having a British Passport may make you British, but he's still and Aussie
  22. I'd agree with the "rising star" system being used in the Champ, but don't think Spencer would qualify due to his age. Don't agree that they shouldn't be dropped, it's a sport & a business. Plus that brings in other issues, Workington not being allowed to drop Etherington who wants to be let go or a rider who turns 16 mid-season (Will Cairns) not getting signed as no "RS" is allowed to be dropped, meaning he has to ride in the top 6! It's no surprise Spencer has been dropped as he wasn't scoring well & has been given plenty of matches. There's no guarantee Whalley will do any better as the jump form NL to Champ is massive, but can't blame Plymouth for trying something new.
  23. Doyle is only a 28 day injury cover. If Dan is then back and, Doyle genuinely wants to ride in this league then he would be a MUST at Northampton maybe Mr Lemon would block that as he would know how competitive that would make us.
