Jason Doyle Adam Ellis Leigh Adams

Pothole Park!!! Classic

Well he is from down under,

So as I said - all 3 improved when they left Poole!! Which is what was being asked!!

You’re constantly going on about huge names, you wasn’t even running 2 weeks ago, just be thankful to actually have an owner and stop expecting the world from them when they’ve just taken over.

Gollob and Hampel both sign for Ipswich because the track was tight and tricky and they recognised that would be a massive help in their development. That said it was the old Foxhall track.

You need to get out more.

If you can’t respect the posters and just keep giving insults and name calling just jog on and stop posting it’s getting boring. We are talking about the Ipswich team or lack of at the moment and you are adding nothing to it

I have always said talk is cheap...

Connor Mountain will make someone a good signing in the Championship. This Poole thread is a good read for a change, shame about the name calling though.

He’s right far more often than he is wrong.

Is he referring to Brexit?

Not sure what's so hilarious when a Premier League side have just been promoted and signed Nicki Pedersen. Lindgren to Wolves would be quite unsurprising by comparison.

Yes, my child?

Vic Eastwood, the very successful scrambles/moto X rider passed away on Sunday. You may say what has Vic's passing got to do with speedway, well, probably not much, but he did race machines which had Hagon frames. I did buy a bike from him once, at his shop and was a gentleman to deal with. RIP.

Cook, Riss, Proctor, Hartel.

The figures being used for Ellis are:- M20-R103-P206 = 8.00

Unless 4 is lower than 3.49 he will not be at reserve

I'm certainly not in that Haha... Are you?

He’s shown as 8: http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/files/downloads/c19_issue_34.pdf

Partly because you gain an asset and they have far greater potential. Cook could be brady kurtz join and average 7 by the end of the season while Hume or Kingsley arent going to do that. Also certain promoters are fed up with British riders quitting halfway through seasons. (WHich if its a business i fully understand).

How about Kenneth Bjerre

I used to go when I lived up there 2004/5, good crowds, and characters such as Stoney, Steady, Wrighty. Shame it's no more, with support dropping off, especially after winning the treble. Some good memories, 2500 there at Stoneys testimonial , and the Fours evenings, and the 3 streakersI delivered a car to Lillyhall then caught trains back to Swindon.

1999. Loram Havvy Richardson Nicholls.

Should reach the play-offs with an eight man team........

SEE that Doyle has scored again for Swindon. No rest for the poor lad. Won't be long before he's back on his speedway bike

Steve your going to get use to team from last year plus broc. But I really do think they will be in the playoffs, and a surprise or two when the seasons running??

I know I was just trying to prove DiCk2 wrong and forgot what section I was in!!

Could be, he might turn up at the xmas party dressed as a cracker.

If I were the new promoter I would certainly ask Hans Andersen (9.26). What’s not to like for a headline name that would draw in the crowds, provided there’s a way to cover his wages.

Good luck to the lad I hope he gets his Visa sorted.

Unless john jackson is coming out of retirement

He’s being sarcastic on behalf of our friend Dandelion who actually thinks some of these riders are achievable

I'm pretty sure if you had asked Nicki Pedersen a couple of months ago if he would be riding in the UK next year he would have said no. Having already committed to not riding in Sweden next year for various reasons, if he does decide to ride anywhere else it will be at Wolves. It's a slim chance but certainly not hilarious, it's up to CVS and PA to convince him

Lindgren has hardly got a busy schedule, at the moment he's only committed to Gp's and Poland

Thats Phil the Aces inside info for you

Take a big improvement for Kurtz to be a gp rider. I don't think you thought that one through!!

Top flight racing on a Saturday night, did pull in very good crowds at Rye. A lot of those were not present when the Rockets were in the middle tier. The crowds had really dropped off during Len's last season at Hoddesdon. 'Big' names can still attract the fans, if the race night is favourable.

Not if you widen the bends at the end of the new straight.

How is it missing the point? Belle Vue had Fricke, Kings Lynn had Lambert and both teams failed to make the play offs. A strange world if ‘having ambition’ means you sign a true number one and then fail to make the play offs. Ambition to make the play off and Final? Ipswich delivered. We don’t know if Ipswich have or haven’t landed a number one yet anyway.

Remember Ipswich speedway is a stand alone business. It’s not a tax avoidance toy like some teams maybe. if the figures don’t stack up at the end of the season it will not continue. of course I want a winning team but not at all costs. Because once gone it’s difficult to get back. Rye house lakeside and Workington etc

Worzel = Somerset, nowhere near Norfolk or Suffolk. And very different dialects.

Sheffield fans delighted with Kurtz. Away fans arguing about if we should have had Kurtz, Auty, Pickering, etc. Only in speedway...

Betts started his career at Norwich joined Reading as KL no longer wanted him. Will always however be associated and known for his time at Kings Lynn, when all teams had a genuine number 1.

I will reserve judgement until we know for sure.....

I watch a lot of 'old league Speedway' on YouTube, mainly from the eighties, and a hell of a lot of it is pretty garbage to be honest. Even allowing for the one camera, independent, straight to video coverage of the time.. The main differences to today when it's garbage is that back then the crowds were bigger so the atmosphere was there, and riders were mainly part time and hadn't spent fortunes on machinery to take part, so didn't expect/need big money to compete.. Nowadays you get pretty mediocre racing, interspersed with the odd great race.. Just the same as happened back then.. Definitely worth watching a few YouTube League meetings from the eighties and nineties if you have an hour to kill.. Pretty poor fair in the main and definitely not too dissimilar to what we get today at most tracks..

Sportowefakty reported earlier today that Ekstraliga fixtures will be released next Wednesday, 11th December.

He isnt.. Kurtz is better at Owlerton look at the race results between the two in the last few years.. Kurtz wins more often than not

The aussie on a 2 has a British born Mother and has a British passport and has chosen to be British , unlike some of our British born Aussies that used the system and have chosen to ride for Australia.Connor wants to ride for GB not Australia.

Couldn't agree more.
