  1. Past hour
  2. I think 7 days is too harsh especially for a first offence, maybe a 1 match ban or 3 day ban and then increase for each illness in the season just to stop any abuse. I think earlier in the season Howarth rode unwell to avoid the ban and if I remember right did end up injured.
  3. Sheffield won't finish top so have no choice. Ipswich will 100% pick Belle Vue
  4. Even when injured?! Anders does always seem to try to race. He has my vote.
  5. Sad to see yet another club closedown, this time extinguishing all signs of speedway in the West Midlands, which once boasted 4 clubs (CH, COV, Wolves and BM) Like London and the South East speedway is finished for good. What has become of Dudley Wood and Wolves old stadia ? We all know the never ending saga of Brandon... but have these other stadia succumbed to housing developments ?
  6. Today
  7. Clearly a not fully fit Barker showed great determination. The gust of the evening astounded everyone including me...... Lewis Kerr once again showed his inconsistency perfectly tonight. Given another opportunity he'll probably score 0 at Saddlebow Road 🙂 Sadly another British rider who seems to have suffered severe injury and never quite fulfilled his potential. Another who I regularly saw as a very young lad at Lakeside juniors was Sammy Hagon. Showed great promise in junior race always bringing up the rear against the likes of Jason Edwards, but despite an awful lot of track time never settled at Poole and finds himself struggling in the upper tier at reserve.
  8. Last year when riders raced in Poland while being injured in Britain, the wording was after 28 days they have to return or be replaced, clubs wouldn't get a second 28 day facility. Assuming that's the case this season, if Becker didn't return, Leicester would only be able to use a 75% guest, as they can't replace him.
  9. I think it will be a walk in the park. Kurtz won't gate, Zach can be good at Foxhall but is out of form. 54-36.
  10. I think the rule was brought in to stop riders feeling "ill" every time they were due at Exeter, then making a quick recovery for their next match. A 7 day suspension stops this happening. But it also means riders who are genuinely ill, having to miss more meetings than necessary, which means more guests (when they should be trying to limit them). Could also mean a rider races when not well to avoid a suspension, potentially causing an accident if he's not strong enough to control the bike. I would get rid of the rule, maybe of it happens multiple times in a season, can look into it, but anyone can be sick one day & off work, but back the next. Why can't Speedway riders? Better make a comment on the match. Glasgow to win on aggregate.
  11. That’s more than you can say about the £3:50 for a meeting program that was useless
  12. Reminds of Rempala M 2010. Last time he was at Ashfield he was chasing down Harris lol - scarily good.
  13. He is some talent.Definitely the match winner Glasgow need.
  14. Simple. Nobody with any sound business acumen is going to invest money into building a new or reopening and old Speedway venue just to please a few hundred punters who can't let the past go. Speedway needs to focus on what it has left now. The likes of Coventry, Swindon and Wolverhampton can argue all they like, but they are living in a fantasy world. They will NEVER reopen. Speedway. Is. Not. Viable.
  15. Ghostie, do you know if Rospiggarna can overtake Lejonen . If lose tomorrow by lets say 10 and get nothing from the match. Rospiggarna would be 649-606 which is + 43 Lejonen would be 634- 593 which is + 41
  16. He wasn’t named in the original side, one of the riders who were was injured last night so they just named him today to have 7 so to speak so his rides could be taken by others.
  17. That is the first meeting I have seen him ride well for a while, maybe getting over his injuries now.
  18. Absolutely agree Spoken to Dan a few times at Ipswich always got time to have pics after the meeting with my kids and speaks well He has said to me he likes Ipswich and he said the home riders are dialled on and he likes the challenge of where to put the bike to get the best out of it ….. Yes he flies around his home track but a truely top rider wants to learn all tracks and skills and he certainly does that including winning at Cardiff twice Chatted to Kurtz too last time and he came across a decent guy to be fair would be good to see him win the world championship
  19. They did say he was injured tonight! ps Looking at heat details it did say he never started his 1st race and never rode.So you could be correct
  20. Strange, they said he was involved in a crash on Premier sports, although I hope not
  21. He didn’t ride was just named in the side and rides taken by the reserves, he’s still unwell.
  22. They should be used to it then after last Saturday.😇
  23. 1 Kvech, 2 Iversen, 3 Harris, 4 Lawson, 5 Klindt, 6 B.Cook, 7 Harrison that is the official lineup for Thursday night for sure
