    Poole 2017

    So if the 4h 4a figure is irrelevant how is Paul replacing Kyle. PS 6.62 KN 6.31

    Poole 2017

    Kyle is fit, just not race fit. Crap fixture list. Thought gavan would've jumped on this by now.

    King's Lynn Stars 2017

    Doubt you'll get Paul, probably replacing Kyle at Poole.
  4. no different to a guest then, really.
  5. the winner on the night deserves it, and thank god no wildcards, you either qualify/put yourself in a position to qualify or you don't.
  6. clueless again tremor, the POINT is what is the point of having a squad if you are going to use r/r
  7. People criticise the guest system in UK (which can get crazy at times) and call for squads Poland and Sweden have squads and still use r/r, imo that's worse.
  8. yeh looks nice like that, but then postcards make a lot of towns look nice, the truth is whats under the surface, in this case slop with shale from a pile that had also been rained on put on top. maybe if the track hadn't been watered so heavily before the meeting the work may have had a chance.

    Presenters And Announcers

    Overzealous and unesacary rules and regulations don't allow for characters nowadays I'm afraid, even telling a ref to go to specsavers on the phone can get you fined.

    Poole 2017

    Just another pole who can't race British tracks and it's often same with our boys over there.
  11. We're not behind swedes Danes or aussies at all, take a real look at what they have in depth coming through, not much. The difference was Gerald richter wasn't there last week. Point proven again , get rid of him. As you said starry Neil was on his own.

    Ipswich 2017

    Just to say absolutely gutted for Danyon last night. Myself and kyle have been impressed totally by the lad and was telling poole fans about him pre meeting, Kyle has been saying it's the best team spirit he's known, another cruel blow. All the best Danyon.

    Gerhard Engine

    15 years ago maybe, stagnated even lowered by some clubs, but you do get the odd club in each league that pay over the top generally they as a club suffer in the end as has been witnessed in recent years. Generally nowadays it's just the reserves on low points money who rightly get say a 3 point guarantee after that not many maybe the odd no 1.
  15. what you have put is absolutely not true and not what he told the bspa especially about seeing the docs (who gets a doctors appt on a bank holiday anyway ), he does not need the all clear from anyone since having his scan on 31st march,since then it was literally having physio and getting fit, as he practiced at somerset Friday and mx practice all day sunday as well as regularly riding his bantam about. if it wasn't for the 28 day contracts he would have raced last weekend. so I trust you sort your info out. by invitation by motorcycling australia to fill up the entry due to Australian riders not wanting to travel to their championships.
  16. Kyle is only not riding now due to the 28 day contracts , he was actually contacted by a member of the m/c asking if he would be fit and he told them yes he would be.

    Kerr left revolution halfway through last season and went back to gm . As has been said before but people are not listening, there is no problem with gtr , it's the bspa proposal to make it compulsory with 1/2 people selected to service, who's to say we won't be in one but it needs to be down to choice and to service where we want.
  18. Both semis should be same day with no clash with clubs. No reason Sheffield couldn't be same day as Newcastle.

    New Tyre Compounds

    This is the case, if both teams (all 14 riders) are in agreement and there is 14 tyres the same type available then the old Red marked ones can be used. Have been told that mitas cannot start supplying the older tyre fully till June though due to production so some tracks only have the new type available.
  20. And let the local boys do it and get rid of richter, swindon , lakeside and Rye have I believe.
  21. Week either side of easter usually around here.

    agree , but I was slated on fb, for suggesting you would need 10k to buy 2 GTRs, as they are supposedly that good you would only need 1, and its a modern day unnecssary requirement by riders to have 2 bikes..

    thanks for your thoughts to my son, scenario 1 has definitely happened.

    they are talking next year, 2018. their is a vested interest by a few going on which is why such a spin is being put on it. your not getting it, a single compulsory engine will do nothing for speedway whatsoever. racing will be worse as riders who do not get on with the GTR will suffer where as at the moment they can try a cam / compression etc that suits them. like ive said before many riders are looking at quitting if its brought in, or being asking for higher wage /signing on fee due to the outlay for new GTRs and having no market to sale current GMs ,most riders do not buy new engines each year, in fact a lot of engines you see each week are relatively old in motor racing terms but are serviced and updated each year. one or two selected engine repairers (old pals act no doubt), putting other good honest engine builders around the country out of work (who do not charge a fortune) and that is not a dig at the big boy tuners as they also do a service and like any trade if people want to go to them and pay their prices that's their prerogative and in all fairness they have invested more so in equipment for their businesses to accommadate that. at the moment the bspa price is £4800 (discounted) so not sure what actual price will be, my son can buy a ported GM kit from vega for I believe £2350 + vat, what he saves on the GTR covers his servicing costs in a season. scenario 1, problem with GM engine at Poole, weds night, racing at Swindon thurs night as it stands can get fixed in time either by himself or say ricky Neale (poole), local engine builder, racing at Swindon. Problem with GTR sealed unit has to be fixed by say trevor hedge (Norwich). logistically probably not racing at Swindon. and is the same for all riders around the country in having someone to go to, that choice / option will be taken away, and how will you as fans feel if a rider cannot turn up because he has no engine. scenario 2, rider calls selected repairer says I think GTR needs a service, no its only done 90 races its ok , goes bang, who is liable, at the moment rider thinks engine needs service, gets it done. scenario 3, playoff final week coming up all 14 riders call selected repairer to get engines checked/serviced (just in case, peace of mind) selected repairer " I haven't got time to service 14 engines". like ive said, I have no problem with marcel and his engine the problem is the proposed compulsory use of it, which I see has no benefit to british or world speedway.
