You have most people wetting themselves regularly on this forum. Have you considered stand up comedy Steve? Stop me if you’ve heard this one. There were 2 Australians, 2 Danes, 2 Poles and an Englishman...

Jesus Christ, what a bunch of half bakes. Who’s gonna have the last word? me! me! no, me! Oh please Miss, let it be me! Difficult to believe these are adults with jobs/wives/kids Sad

Your posts are neither funny or clever. Stop being a moron with idiotic posts about Coventry on a Poole thread. Pathetic.

Pleased to see that Craig got 10 Paid 15 from 5 rides for Rybnik today. good luck in Abensberg tomorrow Craig

Are you ok? You come across as a little bit mentally disturbed. You could just ignore them and do something productive

its becoming beyond farcial and lack of communication is joke

The current formula in the SGP with sixteen riders, twenty heats, two semis, and the final, and all points scored counting for the world cahmpionship is simply the best they ever had.

Oh! So end of the season now? We were all under the impression that your (not so) magnificent 7 were going to smash other teams from the off. Sounds like you have lost faith in your starting 1-7 already

Its Speedway in Poland always lots of pressure to score from fans,management,sponsors what does he expect.

Depends on the length of gap, frequency, lack of communication, awful music, cold, whether you want burger..etc. I'd rather have a good efficient meeting & then enjoy ...

Woz it's for fans like yourself that I will be attending Coventry next week and bringing people with me ..Your approach and attitude is great and I hope you get to watch your bees for years to come in whatever form just like us brummies do..

Funny how czestochowa are leading the meeting and then the track gets mysteriously over watered which is unusual for gorzow and czestochowa fall apart

Really odd this ..Wolves have done really well over years while running on a Monday other clubs has gone bust or lost loads of money like Eastie who ran on a weekend . But now because Belle Vue don't like running on Mondays somehow running on a Monday is now a massive problem for Wolves ?

Though It was going to be slightly closer but Bees were just too good for IOW. Morley was excellent however. First 4 heats took an hour but fair play the following 11 heats were done by just after 5. Crowd was bigger than last week which is a bonus, i expect a few more when Birmingham visit next week.

The opposition was very, very bad. Watched it and it was a one sided borefest. Still, you can only beat what is in front of your and Cook did that easily. Should boost his confidence as well as his pay packet.

You are incorrect, Ladbrokes who own the stadium, decided to close the home straight, nothing to do with lack of speedway numbers. In 1996 when Wolves reached the KO Cup final we had to race the 'home' leg of the final at Long Eaton while alterations to the greyhound track were going on. Not exactly ideal eh ? But renting a track, you are totally in the hands of the landlord.

According to Roy Clarke last night he would be missing for 10 days.Mind ,he also asked Nathan Greaves if he would ride as a guest next Saturday if asked.He might be a wee bit lonely if he does come up seeing as there's no meeting.

bomber is the top scoring non qualifier so more than anybody he deserves a wild card but there should be no wildcard at all at world championship level

Going back through months of posts to prove it is a bit sad. You still need to get a life or a hobby.

So he thinks Sundstrom is Danish?? Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!! Taking the pee and he still gets it wrong, too funny!!

The magnificent 7 is actually Rickardsson, Loram, Ward, Holder, Middleditch, Simmons and Boyce just so you know!

This forum wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for a bit of banter. It would be more of a borefest than it is now. People should never be afraid of throwing down the gauntlet. Being afraid of a sentence coming back at you is ridiculous. And I believe by the end of the season we will smash Swindon. Bookmark it ready to throw it back!

Couldnt disagree more and it hasnt worked in the past.. the polish kids are far and away the best in the world because they get used to riding under pressure early on. Tai Woffinden also rode in Poland early in his carrer and he is our only top line rider... if you want to get to the top you need to get used to riding under pressure

Perfect weather for today's meeting, a nice 21°c. Hopefully a better crowd than last week!

Brits have helped each other in the past...I guess the question is maybe whether there was anyone there to make the riders aware of the situation. In his first big meeting I can imagine that Dan wouldn't have been thinking about permutations for others...Even Robert might not have been thinking of Dan as a threat given his performance up to then...they would have needed someone to have a word...and I'm guessing no-one did that. Edit - Just saw teaboys comment. Hopefully Lambert will get one of the wildcards. Harris, not so much.

I guarantee no other country in the world would have let this happen with Lambert needing a win to progress We really are the best at making things hard for ourselves

One big league is nonesense. Fans will not come for Poole v Redcar or Berwick. How is that going to pack out stadiums? Clubs like Sheffield and Ipswich should be in the top flight and they way they acted when the premership wanted Mondays and Thursdays was frankly disgraceful.

Cook is averaging 8.44 with bonus points at home this season and Fricke 8.19 so we'll have something to compare with Kurtz and JG 's scores. Hopefully, the racing will be up to the usual standard and we'll have an enjoyable meeting despite having only 4 of our own team. I'm looking forward to seeing Lambert, he didn't race at the NSS last year but seems to be on good form and making good starts so I'm expecting him to do well.

What relevance is the that on the Poole thread

I think it's more about the mind of those that have the skill. I don't think you get anywhere if you haven't got the skill but some with less skill than others get further because of their application and mindset.

He wouldn't be the first to underestimate Dan. I think Bewley did remarkably well for his first attempt at this level. Wrong helmet colour in his first ride, probably wasn't aware of the different FIM rule, last in his next ride when he was losing compression and his engine eventually gave up the ghost, a third behind KK and NKI, a second behind Kurtz and then a win in front of Lambert. I'm sure some lessons learnt and valuable experience gained and enough points to show he has nothing to fear at this level.

So instead of saying he's retired, he has told everyone he's taking time out so we don't have to replace him? Using R/R and guests for the rest of the year is hardly going to be interesting and bring in the crowds for all the money we don't have... Any other team, if one of their riders was going to take time out would act straight away or at least communicate with their fans what the plan was...?

Steve0. No need to defend me. It was early after a day at Newbury races. I made a mistake, so hands held up. Luckily, it’s not as many as Middlo has made over the last two seasons. Perhaps I should change my forum name to Middleditch and nobody would say anything!

We are struggling to get 1 or 2 guests. What makes you think we'd manage to find 7 riders (+ our 5) wanting to turn up for a "nothing" individual meeting that even the 'die-hards' are reluctant to turn out for.

I would suspect that nobody else wanted to do it. You can't force riders to guest if they don't want to. And with the GP qualifiers this weekend (3 yesterday, 1 tomorrow) quite a few wouldn't be in the country. Plus our averages ain't great which further limits our options

Said a couple of seasons ago that Lasse Fredricksen from Norway looks a good prospect.He has had a fairly decent weekend with 15 points but losing out on the semi final at Gustrow then this performance in Slangerup

Bellego finishes second in Italy to qualify for SGP Challenge. Well done David.

Challenge qualifiers so far: Matej Zagar Antonio Lindbäck Janusz Kolodziej Krzysztof Kasprzak Jack Holder Niels Kristian Iversen Kenneth Bjerre David Bellego Kevin Wolbert Abensberg 1 Abensberg 2 Abensberg 3 Local wildcard (Kai Huckenbeck) FIM wildcard FIM wildcard FIM wildcard Full results from todays qualfiers: https://www.baansportfansite.nl/series/189/2018-speedway-grand-prix-kwalificatie.html

This. Well done to Bewley for recovering like that but by heck that was dumb!

If Bewley is racing in Denmark it will be on the Saturday 16th, if that is the case, and this weekends palaver is anything to go by, there's no way he can ride at Glasgow on Friday night? Dan doesn't have equipment in Europe so they'll have to drive over with it and you wouldn't want that trip from 10pm on a Friday night in Glasgow? Guest rider required again I'd say!!

I would say it’s more to do with the manager being an idiot- the team spirit within the club must be terrible. I see at least Drodz should be getting rides for Wroclaw tomorrow as Fricke is at 5

I think the sport in Britain is beyond repair until a total colaspe and then rebuild from scratch but I don’t blame buster, yes he has been in charge but even when he makes a correct stand against something he gets slated, something I see is too few people having too many fingers in too many pies, it’s always the same names and that’s when conflict of interest happens and when you have that nothing gets acheived

Since taking over as Chairman he's been an absolute failure. That's not me saying that's the opinion of other teams supporters as we'll now see

Give Stoke a ring they can give you loads of reasons for not running a meeting

WITH so many vacant dates why can't this sort of thing be avoided?

There was an article in the Wolves v Poole programme, that I thought was worth sharing. The article is written by Mark Sawbridge who is the official historian for Wolverhampton. He has previously written a book about Wolverhampton Speedway and is a well respected member of the speedway researcher community. The article states that Wolverhampton Speedway will be 90 years old this year. Furthermore, it is now the oldest track in the world, because all other older tracks have closed or simply don't exist anymore. I am long term Wolves fan, since 1967, but this is still a surprise to me. Long may we continue ! If anyone is interested in the article, PM me.

And Bombers on stand by should Prince Charles not make it..

I wonder why there was no mention of the team line up on the Lion's website? Only Harry & Megan's wedding will see more guests this week. (Actually there is a rumour that Schlein may stand in for Megan's dad on Saturday)!

That NL rider should come in at reserve and the other rider's move up a position.

I remember the wooden shed behind main grandstand ( about where turnstiles are now ) in the interval it was packed and difficult to get into to buy merchandise. God knows how much pocket money I spent on photos of Bettsy. Saved up to get race jackets. We made a speedway track around Fathers lawn. Even put tapes in from a pole to a tree. Local kids turned up on their bicycles to race. But my brother and I looked the best with our race jackets. Father wasn’t amused though as we destroyed the outside of his lawn. Happy days fond memories.
