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...'

Thanks for that we won so much I'm getting ahead of myself

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.

Looking forward to Sunday - the 40th anniversary of that bump going into turn three if I'm not mistaken

At the end of the day Simon does a job for the team, when he is signed it’s to fill a gap vacated by somebody else or in this case to allow the acquisition of another rider. It’s pretty clear he and somebody else will be leaving soon so I don’t understand why people need to let into him particularly after a meeting where he has scored in every ride. Just seems a bit unnecessary to me.

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

I would take that now.....in fact i would be happy with 2 points We have on paper easier away matches at Poole and Wolves coming up

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

Do not forget that after the main meeting there is one between Reading and Exeter over 6 heats

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

Connor Coles has signed for Edinburgh http://www.edinburghmonarchs.co.uk/news-centre/article/2019-06-26/connor-coles-joins-the-team

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

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.

just think coming to the end of june and we have had no changes yet . then to be honest I don't think we have needed any .

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?

Just watched the Rospiggarna v Dackarna match - crowd 3102. Another bad defeat for the Hallstavik team, an EF for Doyle at the start of heat 15 ended their fight back after being 10 down. Fricke was disappointing apart from a cracking win from the back in heat 14.Magic was the star man for the Malilla side who really look as if they have turned their season around.

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

Not possible unfortunetly Lambert has far to many colours on his kevlars

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,,,

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.

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

Kasper Andersen?:-p

Be careful.....Workington asked to move to Fridays at the same time as Scunthorpe and Glasgow both of whose promoters at the time were on the management team. Guess who got what they wanted?

No away points = no play offs so whoever they bring in at number seven will be worth the risk.

After the Stars thrashing of the Aces last night - and in so doing cementing their reputation as the top East of England Premiership team - I don't think Aces are 'nailed on' at all. As for Ippo, lets see what happens when their free scoring reserve goes into the top 5. Play-offs will be Swindon, Poole, Ipswich and Kings Lynn imo.

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!
