I don’t think there is any problem with Lamberts hunger or desire, he simply is as good as he will ever be and any shortcomings are down to his limitations of ability rather than effort and commitment.

With you on that one Aces51, Lidsey will develop into a good rider he is someone you have to give time to.At Worky last year they showed everyone what can be achieved with the way they handled young Bickley and how he has come on in the Championship because of it.Why do some of the ground work with Lidsey then allow somebody to reap the benefit in the future patience is the word.He is suffering a bit of pressure because other riders in the team are not doing the job they are capable of doing.

They travel ok...it's just when they ride they are s***!

Oh bugger, Matt has spent thousands getting in a road grader, etc to level the base and it wasn't necessary!! Why didn't Starry tell Matt that beforehand?

Dissenters ??? Do you not mean paying customers? What a disrespectful way to call paying customers - Most people have work the next morning and want to get home some people have children with them and want to get home maybe you have neither and can take your time after the meeting but for most people that isn’t the case .

Or Thorssell with someone over 9

Nicks average is now 5.84 so 7.99 to replace him. Or 5.47 to replace Ashley, dropping Kyle to reserve Which one is best I have no idea, it depends who's available I guess

Sorry Trees but I see no future and very little point in keep re-visiting Simon Lambert riding for us or indeed any team at this level. He is what he is, which a decent NL no 1 or at best a CL Reserve ( at certain Clubs). He is no better ( and no worse) than we he was as a 16/17 year old As for going in the bar afterwards, not for me as have very little interest in it and just want to get back on the road to do the 90min journey home.

Elation, actually. Even the QUADROUPLE + Fours, Pairs & Individual Champion. http://www.scunthorpe-speedway.com/?page_id=2840 "I was there" are words that I can use as I have followed Scunthorpe Speedway through thick & thin at Quibell Park & Ashby Ville to the present days at the EWR. I also travelled down to Mildenhall in 2011 & down to Somerset in 2012.

Try selling it to Dirty Barry ( one for Fools n Horses fans )

Stefan Nielsen is the Swindon number 7, so stop posting crap

Many thanks for your comments and help about informing me what any mistakes and other information.. I will be added these to the new video going up on YouTube very soon. I will post the new YouTube address and amend the old one as soon as possible. I will be working on a 1976 New national League bib video and also a iconic team version with Wembley, New Cross, Southampton amongst many others I have not made these yet so it will take me a few days.

Proper speedway Nige.

Heat 15 video to enjoy. Cracking ride by Heeps.

Danny Halsey was going to be the next big thing at Rye House about ten years ago but he never made the jump to PL standard. I wonder what Mark Blackwell and Sam Dore are doing now.

Yes... I'm one of them. I really think the Promotion missed big time this season. No problem dropping down a league, I personally prefer it, but not having any of those riders is a massive blow. Not on results...but the majority of fans had a ' connection' with those three. This year's team is 'meh'...there is just no connection imo. When a rider makes fans get excited to watch a race...run out of the bar etc, then the promotion imo should take notice. All three you mention had a positive effect on a meeting and it's enjoyment. All we want is a connection, excitement and good racing....otherwise it's just a bunch of blokes going round in circles.

Maybe Starman ran off with it saying 'we don't need it, nothing wrong with the track...'

Yes

Simon is no world beater as he has said before.He's not one of my favourite riders but he always seems to give all for the cause when called upon.Maybe poor away but this is what you get with many riders even of a higher standard to Simon.Many people were very happy to get Cook in the side,so to allow Cook in you had to have a standard of rider like Simon.

Apologies if I hurt your feelings and bit of a hypocrite since you support Leon but won’t watch him race , that makes no sense whatsoever

Jack tried that at Poole the year before, it didn't wash!!

He will ride for Poole, them the rules. If not 28 day ban or even sacked by Poole

New averages from 1st July means we can use up to 5.22 to replace Zach. As above I don’t see Tobi being fit enough to race more than once a week (even if he can manage that). Even then it’s a risk & if he crashed again it’s game over. Need to find that rider & then push Rasser down at reserve for July.

Think I'd take that tbh as a minimum obviously

4 points at Peterborough 0 from Belle Vue 1 from Swindon

Wouldn’t it be helpful if Jack replaced Perks in the NL side to give the lad a bit of confidence?

The Scandinavian quali round of the European U21 at Holsted cost £0 to get in. Beat that!

The new video has now been uploaded to YouTube - enjoy. The new link address is in post number 1

Match featuring Masarna is always last match watched- and away to Vastervik was always going to be a heavy defeat- think the Vastervik fans realised that as well as only 1611 rocked up.Masarna as i said last week are surely cost saving as they didn`t bother giving their 2 top riders Lindback and Nilsson a tac sub ride Kildemand as expected cleaned up at reserve scoring a 4 ride paid max.

Different rider combo's so assume that's the reason behind it. Doesn't 3 & 5 race together in a few heats? Correction - I think it's 4 & 5 who race together.

Well if we get rain in Wimbledon fortnight, no need to call cliff, these 2 could entertain the centre court

Now thats my kind of entry fee.

The Hull race jacket is not correct for 1976. They were not sponsored by Lada back then and I don't think the word VIKINGS appeared on the jacket either in 1976. I believe it was just the Viking head with the word HULL above that year.

The City "Rebels" one shown on the DVD was of course their 'home' bib...they wore the traditional Confederate Red desigh away from home...a great site and brings back so many memories! Any chance of a National League selection?

Cracking video, always liked the Hackney checkerboard look but the Halifax one is a cracker!! Good stuff!!

Lavazza

A warm, nostalgic trip down memory lane! A minor correction to the Ipswich one, it had a black border, roughly the same width as the the Cradley one. Don't they look far more impressive than today's bland race suits which often feature colours that don't relate at all to the side's history and club motifs that need a telescope to be seen?

So you are saying,,, give them squeeze to check they are nice and firm and not to saggy. I can manage that,,,, some more excellent advice. This forum really is starting to be useful

Good thread this , am learning a lot about bananas

The difference is Nicol is a young lad with improvement in him while Simon is thirty ish and reached his level long ago. He always does a decent job for Lynn as a stopgap but we need to try somebody else who may well be better given the chance.

Attack the post,,,, seen bans for less,,,

See the good folk at Holsted are letting fans in for the amazing price of nowt!!! Now what a line up for free!! Might even be tempted to drive up myself to see the cream of Scandinavian youngsters plus some Finnish bloke

Hope these two teams reach the play off final... Would be a cracking two legs I reckon.. Was great to watch two teams going for it with real intensity at the NSS and the score on the night belied how close some of the races finished... On another night Kent could have been so much closer going into the 2nd leg.. Great to see two evenly matched teams full of young lads giving their all.. From reports, both sets of fans at the two legs went away with nothing but a positive outlook on NL Speedway.

When you get out of nappies then come back we will teach you how to use an abacus. Prime reason why i no longer post on here because of prats/no nothings like you.

I get the UK over USA thing, nobody wants to see an English rider lose his place But Broc Nicol is quite a big improvement on Simon Lambert

Please post on the official banana discussion thread .....

Lidsey is an obvious talent. We should remember it's his first season in the UK. He will gain from the experience and then we shall gain the benefit in the long term.

Naked hot laps, stealing the grading tractor, walking the length of the infield on his hands, handcuffing people to the flagpoles in their pants on their birthdays the list of escapades goes on! Parker was a true character and legend of our sport, get well soon!

Only six holes then?
