After Rick Frost stole money off the paying public last night in the P'boro v King's Lynn meeting by issuing a rained off Belle Vue programme for the full £3 I was wondering if this is a common theme in speedway. On Good Friday we got done with a Lakeside programme also at P'boro. I know at King's Lynn they re-issue rain off programmes with inserts but atleast they're used for the relevant teams. Is this a normal process or is it just Peterborough??

Please Go Middlo
Daniel Smith replied to skeletor's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Question as I have no idea. Was Middlo a team manager before Mart Ford came along and how did those teams do??? -
Why Seed Hosts Direct To Final?
Daniel Smith replied to TheReturn's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
In 2002 at Peterborough the place was packed out with no Great Britain in the final. I think we just appreciate seeing the World's best rider's on show as it doesn't happen over here very often these days. If Belle Vue get it the place will be rammed with or without home representation -

King's Lynn Stars 2013
Daniel Smith replied to Daniel Smith's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Is the return of Lasse better or as good as Alden??? With some of the other rider's mentioned previously, I'm not convinced but really hope this comes off. Lasse at the moment is nothing more than a reserve IMO. Our team right now on current form consists of:- 1 Heat Leader in Iversen 2 second strings in Korneliussen & Worrall 4 reserves in Schlein, Bjerre, Porsing & Lebedevs I'm bloody worried if nobody else is. Horrendous looking line-up -
King's Lynn V Isle Of Wight Weds 17th July @ 7.30pm
Daniel Smith replied to rhidassa's topic in National League Speedway
What on earth are you talking about. Waldron moved to reserve & Hazelden in the main body of the team as of the averages issued on the 18th July. The IOW meeting was Weds 17th July & Buxton before that so I don't understand what's illegal??? -

Had a text message saying Artur Mroczka is in talks. Good or bad? Better or worse than Alden? He's been pretty awful this season so hope not -

King's Lynn Stars 2013
Daniel Smith replied to Daniel Smith's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I really can't think of anyone good enough to come in on a just under 6 average. We could be in an even bigger muddle now -

The biggest inspiration Greg showed to his younger riders was National pride. Something evidently lacking from British speedway by our riders for many many many many many many years -
World Cup Race Off - 18th July 2013
Daniel Smith replied to LagutaRacingFan's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Well, with the rider's we had it's a total embarrassment to finish bottom of the pile. Wells, Fisher & Manzares should not be leading Harris, Bridger & Baker. Absolute joke. -

Who Should Be In Gb World Cup Team?
Daniel Smith replied to bri1966's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
At the moment may be. As a rider overall, they're the same. Will never be good enough for top level International Speedway -
Who Should Be In Gb World Cup Team?
Daniel Smith replied to bri1966's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Because he's of the same standard as Kennett. King & Kennett should be excluded from any future GB squads -
Brits Not Supporting Team Gb
Daniel Smith replied to Phil The Ace's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
GB all the way in International events. Just a thought though, most of the Danish, US & Swedish flags being waved yesterday & Twitter comments of supporting other nations came from young girls & women. Is it as simple as the chicks dig the di, well ya know what I'm saying -
I just find it difficult to take from Peterborough, especially when it's a local derby knowing full well more away fans will purchase a programme. Programmes are always in the season budget. If the fixture isn't a rearranged one like Friday (Peterborough v King's Lynn) Promoters should issue the relevant programme, not a postponed Belle Vue one.

World Cup Race Off - 18th July 2013
Daniel Smith replied to LagutaRacingFan's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
It is and man for man over Australia I think we're stronger. Let Ward have his maximum, we'll win it on the Joker ride. 1, Ward - Woffinden 2, Batchelor - Harris 3, Doyle - Barker 4, Woodward - Bridger It really is game on folks!!!!!!! Get through this, that's 3rd place in the bank. But, those pesky Latvians will be spoilers for someone. -

Daniel Smith replied to Northern Exile's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
A rider only loses confidence from pressure. That's when good management comes into play. Arm round the shoulder or the bollocking in the bogs etc. You learn how rider's react from certain approaches from their own mental attitude. The problem with Middlo is he treats everybody the same regardless. -
Swc, Event Two, King's Lynn 15/7
Daniel Smith replied to Northern Exile's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
As I said, I kind of agree with you on that point but we have to try. We can't keep wheeling out garbage like King & Kennett who's careers are at a level that is never going to improve on the International scene. You have to try new. Cook got a run out tonight & Bridger should have joined him. Then the lowest scorer should have made way for Barker. That simple. It's not hindsight for me as I've said it from day one. Middlo as GB manager should always be looking forward but always looks at the here & now. As an International manager it's a ridiculous approach. IMO for 2014 GB should be looking past Harris as he's found his level and doesn't look like improving, if ya get what I mean like -

It was Travis. He's Greg's full time mechanic -

Daniel Smith replied to Northern Exile's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Didn't miss the point at all as I believe Middlo has always been inept at management & your above post is pretty much bang on. What concerns me more is I'd read Tweets saying it was actually Morris that picked Kennett. Where on earth did those comments come from??? 1, is that true? 2, if so, who actually is the TeamGB manager? -
Swc, Event Two, King's Lynn 15/7
Daniel Smith replied to Northern Exile's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
When you say 'our' manager, is that in reference to GB or Poole? If Poole he's had the financial backing to make him look better with World class rider's. If it's in reference to GB he's been an utter disaster. 2004 is 9 years ago. If living off that is keeping him in the job, British Speedway on the World stage has no hope what so ever. -

It's only unfair if it isn't true. When did Kennett show his best. That's correct, when the drill came into play. Facts -

Be fair folks, Kennett was only any good when he took a bloody drill to his exhaust. The blokes utter garbage and always has been.
