Tsunami 10,219 Posted January 27, 2012 Very surprised by that. Maybe he will be a track expert at Plymouth Whatever, I wish him well. It's not that long ago that he got a 15 point max at Brough. Had some shocking meetings afterwards, often just pulling up on the centre green when in last place. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I think that's the thing with Ricky, he's always seemed inconsistent away from Owlerton. If he has an off day with Plymouth there could be some absolute maulings away from SBA.

We are well used to that - look at last seasons results away from the SBA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rickster 23 Posted January 27, 2012 Your well off the mark tsunami! You clearly have him mixed up with someone else. Seen him win many races at brough park Twice he's had a max at newcastle one was a stunning 18 point one too! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigerblues 10 Posted January 27, 2012 Ricky is definitely not what I would call a one track pony, and he can ride the small tracks, but he can be inconsistent. Could go either way for him, this move to Plymouth - hopefully he will kick on. I think he has reached his level myself, but if he is going to get any better it will be away from Sheffield IMO.

Tsunami 10,219 Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) Your well off the mark tsunami! You clearly have him mixed up with someone else. Seen him win many races at brough park Twice he's had a max at newcastle one was a stunning 18 point one too! Also seem him can't be ersed to race and just dropped out. Terrible for a number 1 rider. Been around long enough to know the traits of Ricky and not mixing him up with someone else.(haven't got rick in my name either) Edited January 27, 2012 by Tsunami Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted January 28, 2012 Ricky wil be fine, he can ride all tracks well, he's just a bit up and down but a month of riding the SBA and working out it's quirks he'll be just fine there. He's a decent rider and decent riders work out any home track quick enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lewy 2,326 Posted January 29, 2012 bowden in local paper today appealing for help to get the track ready for new season he says he will provide the paint but can you bring your own brushes! i think this tells you everything you need to know about the man an absolute tight arsed cheapskate looking to benefit from genuine fans decency.80 hours a week what a load of crap lucky if he does 8!

Actually I think that just makes sense. It's how Leicester was built and a lot of clubs have people who turn up to do this. I remember a group of offered to do this at Newport years back for Tim Stone and got asked what was in it for us and the offer was turned down! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCB 0 Posted January 29, 2012 What do people exspect Glanz to average? Rode last year in Demark i think he will average over 6? Unless he's seriously improved he'll do well to hit 5. I'll go with a little over 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tsunami 10,219 Posted January 29, 2012 Well said Its hardly unheard of to have volunteers in. In fact, I once painted the whole of Mildenhall's fence. Actually me and about 8 others have been to Brough Park all day painting both sides of the kickboards. Just got to make some new ones, take out and replace a lot of fenceposts, replace some netting, nail on all the kickboards, paint the pits, put the poly sheeting on the fence and do a dozen other jobs. That'll be our time taken up every Sunday until Practice day. Do folks think the fairies do it all. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
