mdmc82 2,878 Posted June 2, 2015 This is a joke. No Porsing, No Iversen, No Rory and maybe no Bjerre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,115 Posted June 2, 2015 That's funny i suppose as Porsing is there worst rider in the top five and now they can get a decent guest or track specialist! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,658 Posted June 2, 2015 This is a joke. No Porsing, No Iversen, No Rory and maybe no Bjerre. Doolan did well in his last appearance at Wimborne Road!! 8+2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,819 Posted June 2, 2015 I'm afraid to say that for probably the first time ever I really don't care what happens tomorrow night, with every guest named my enthusiasm erodes a little extra. The EL becomes more and more farcical each year and last night's events have made me fall out with the sport a bit more and I just don't see an end to it. I've been to Lynn three times this year and not really missed it on the Wednesdays I've not gone. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apart from the final couple of heats last night and a few races from Swindon last week I've not bothered with the EL coverage this year. There is usually something better to do.

g13webb 4,254 Posted June 3, 2015 Like I say, whatever happens tonight will have no bearing on the season whatsoever. With so many guests, this is more like a challenge friendly match and bears little resemblance to the real thing. So no not that important... Different from some on here, I have gone to every match at home this year plus some away as well. My love for speed sports have not diminished, even though the signs are there for all to see. Yes I will be watching it on the Television tonight, but only cause there's nothing else to watch...... Love watching T and P making it out to more exciting than it actually is......

It will have some bearing as there are points at stake.I agree, each match over the season has a definate bearing on who will be the final winners of the league... All these 'select' matches every week allows every team the opportunity to pick and choose who they want, so by 'trial and error' by the time the play offs come around the teams who get there will clearly know which guests ride best at which tracks, and this in turn will then steer them as to which riders of their own should suddenly/unfortunately/sadly become 'ill' or 'injured' prior to the play offs starting.....!

SPEEDY69 1,277 Posted June 3, 2015 Just heard on the radio that Nicklas Porsing is not riding tomorrow, has food poisoning! Doolan steps in Really? Batchelor last week Porsing this week - I can only think of one occasion in the last 20 years when anyone I've worked with or known has had real poisoning. He may just have an upset tummy, which usually only lasts a day maximum. Who is ever going to question it though? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pugwash 3,208 Posted June 3, 2015 Just heard on the radio that Nicklas Porsing is not riding tomorrow, has food poisoning! Doolan steps in There's a lot of it about. If you remember Poole had a dose of it a few years ago, something in the grapes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
