  1. Past hour
  2. Another professional dive.Saying that the Briggo dirt deflector causes more falls than it does deflecting dirt!!
  3. The challenge is to get that kind of jeopardy and consequence into the qualifiers... And to get a decent away following at each meeting to deliver some atmosphere.. The racing today is no better or worse than 50 years ago when I was a kid, I would say.... The huge difference is the lack of atmosphere nowadays driven by such low (mainly home team following) crowd turnouts for the POQ's... Back then even an average meeting was worth attending given the crowd participation and interaction.. Give the majority of the POQ's greater relevance and the sport can only benefit... Another opportunity also maybe to get the league completed before the KO Cup... A night where a team wins the league should then generate at least one more meeting to maintain the "feel good" momentum created by the victory... Instead, we invariably have a six month hiatus and when the "Champions" do come back, several of their riders will often have left to meet team average rules... It would also give those not reaching the PO's a chance for silverware thus maintaining interest in the season for their fans, with every meeting having relevance... NB. I do accept there is always a possibility that some non completed POQ's could still get run after the final to give the Champs an extra match!!!
  4. After taking time to reflect on last night. Two meetings this week involving two great sides who ride each others home circuits as well as their own. A great crowd at Leicester on Monday & a massive one last night at Ipswich. No idea on the figure but easily the best I have possibly ever seen on the heath. For me personally as an Ipswich fan the right result. Well done to all the lads & to Kenyan for covering Adam so well. Even if your not involved all season you are still a witch & it was great to see Rew lay it on the line at times. That shows the regard these boys hold he club once they have riden for us. Well done to Leicester for making it a cracking night, your fans are superb had some great conversation with them. A great advert for the sport & hopefully gives everyone a shot in the arm & reminds them what this sport could be. For Emil it must have felt like riding at Torun with pack stands! Hopefully itโ€™s not the last we have seen of Emil but I have a hunch that that chapter may have come to a fitting conclusion.
  5. You're welcome to him, I never want to see him at Leicester again. Good luck ๐Ÿคž
  6. You canโ€™t. The loop hole was closed to riders who donโ€™t ride in the uk for the rest of the season. Rew had been riding all season for Birmingham so can guest as per the uk regs.
  7. Ellis Perks won all 3 leagues in the same season (2019)
  8. Today
  9. Yes team does look stronger than on Wednesday, but!!!!!! for me it depends how tired Danny and Jason are, they have ridden on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, tonight, then on Friday at home,and finally on Sunday v Glasgow, still think we will beat Poole on the night but only 47 _43.
  10. This could get interesting if Leon has good night,he is very good at Redcar normally.Poole just for me.
  11. Hey lads welcome we'll give you no help whatsoever in building a competitive team but Oxford and Birmingham aren't running this year! Good luck! The rest
  12. Wish they would ban him on the 24th,25th&26th lol
  13. I think we have done enough,Redcar needed more points from their middle order, Edwards and Allen were poor at Poole. Hodder got his expected zero so too much of a hill to climb in my opinion.
  14. If you gonna screw em over timing is everything ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
  15. Wish they would ban him on the 24th,25th&26th lol
  16. Whilst I donโ€™t doubt he has โ€˜releasedโ€™ certain riders ( by text ! ) , thatโ€™s nothing new even if the manner is a little disappointing, but resigning ? Well some dramatic changes to the way the sport is being run are needed but who else would take up the challenge ? Canโ€™t see there being a long list of candidates.
  17. Shovvy will jump out of his sick bed and be dancing round the room as the Pirates win the cup! Their first leg lead is too big a mountain for Redcar to climb and the Poole boys are familiar with the track recently aswell.
  18. That's right,similar situation arose in moto gp a while back, Mark marquez riding for honda was banned for 10 days or so when the next gp was a week away so he would miss it, however flooding cancelled that event,honda successfully argued that he'd served his ban even though he hadn't missed a gp which was the intended punishment,within 48hrs Dorna amended ruling so in future the ban would be for a meeting irrespective of time, so Bowes has to miss the next say 5 meetings for his team .maybe a simpler way to impose punishment but what happens now is like banning father xmas from delivering parcels the first two weeks in june
  19. I meant when Lambert replaced the injured Fricke just for the play offs. I thought you could not do that now.
