Know what your saying pinny, Ben Howe was worth the entrance money alone and luckily couldn't gate for toffee's so was always good entertainment, a group of us used to sponsor Ben back in the day and i still say to this day if he had of had the backing Sal got he would of gone haps a lot further in the sport.

I'm sure many years ago Jem Doncaster's brother Nick Doncaster had his throttle/clutch swapped over after he had a bad crash which left him unable to use it the normal way, saying that i thought Nick was actually looking the better rider of the two when they both took to the shale.

I know Rohan Tungate isn't British but didn't he come from a motorcycle racing background in Australia before trying his luck at speedway, also Jean-Michel Bayle not British again but he was a multi world champion in Motocross, he didn't really have that much success when he joined the Moto gp paddock, in either the 250cc or 500cc classes.

Cheers Screm for that, that's where i read about what i posted but wasn't sure how to copy and paste it or link it to my post.

I see that Danny's funeral is next Fri, 14th of Feb at West Suffolk Crematorium, and he will be taken to Mildenhall stadium first for a lap round the track followed by the riders.

Your out of order iron scorpion, i was as shocked as anyone when i heard about Danny bless him, I'd watched him glow as a rider at Mildenhall and was looking forward to him taking it to the next level at Foxhall this coming season, speedway is a numbers game and my suggestion was purely based around that and not a attack against Danny.

I only posted the option of changing Danny if they couldn't get a number 1 as he had the lowest average.

LMFAO at t sorry state of you, get back on the Peterborough thread you weirdo

I think it would leave 11.29 to play with if they released Danny Ayres

End of the day if Peterborough speedway wants to lose some die hard fans then on their head be it, the sport as is it needs all the fans it can get and should be encouraging fans to attend not turning fans away over some petty parking ruling.

Will do Neil, your bumped on Cliffy and Rose before then, they do love their speedway and the old man does like to chat bless him.

My dad was totally unaware of these supposed changes as he and my mother are not ones to use social media or alike, they will now sadly have to think long and hard about renewing their season tickets for this season, they do well at their age to attend regularly as it is considering they live ten miles from Ipswich so have a good hour plus drive there and back to attend the meetings, luckily for them they are also season ticket holders at Ipswich and Mildenhall so can still get their regular fix of shale action.

I'm not sure how this will effect my parents, their both pushing 80 and have been season ticket holders for yrs, they always kind of had a gentleman's agreement when renewing their season tickets every yr which allowed them to park inside the showground as they find the long walk from the main carparks a bit to far, neither of them being a BB holder i may add.

Don't think Scotty would ride for reserves money either, he'd only fit if they released Danny Ayres and went for 2 more middle order/reserve riders, and he'd be a reserve with the average he currently has, it is a bit worrying being this late in the day and still not declaring a big hitter, we can all come up with names but in truth none of them want to ride in the UK, 7.92 is a big void to fill.

Bring back big Ben Howeleast he gave plenty of entertainment and wasn't a gating tart like Sal

Jack Smith had a decent meeting it seems

Just as bad then hey, he'll no doubt end up back at Peterborough anyway hopefully

Tungate won't be welcome at Foxhall anytime soon if the rumours going about are true, he done something to upset the Louis family the last time he rode at Ipswich, he seems to be another Rory Schlein anyway and moans a lot and always has a face like a smacked arse

Well if it isn't Holder or even Iversen if he rides over here at all this season, what's the other option, release Danny Ayres and go for two 5.5 - 6 pointers?

Yeah think i read somewhere he was doin his own spanners coz had no help in the pits, i thought when he was first at Ipswich he was gonna turn out to be a decent rider but seemed to lose his way a bit after the second season

Wonder if anyone will take a punt on Gino as his top 4 slot in USA championships secured his visa for this season, mind you his form was poor when he came over the last time compared to his time at Ipswich few years ago.

I saw Klindt at Foxhall 2 or 3 times last season and he definitely performed better when it was on t slick side, but then again it don't matter if it's slick or heavy if he's got his gating gloves on

Very quiet, was expecting some news haps seeing as the Australian championship was over and done with, unless it ain't gonna be Holder after all?

Yeah so make it slick with a blue groove for Holder if it is him n Klindt and then watch the rest of um struggle for grip, makes loads of sense

If it is a certain Mr Holder then i wonder how he'll handle Foxhall if it's grippy, also Klindt on that matter, we all know the rest of the team don't mind it grippy and can ride the deep stuff
