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.

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

We're even running out of them... Unless we go with Max at 7 and Lasse at 6...

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

I don’t believe a >12 average is a bar per se, but it would be a big chunk of the team total

Wasn’t he 8. So he’ll be 7.8?

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.

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

Ricky Wallace, Niklas Porsing, Joachim Kugelmann, Simon Lambert

They all come in on 5 like they did with Bham last year. Birkemose not coming UK. Cant do it with School.

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.

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

Rene Bach (7.19 CL in 2018, converts to 4.49) He would be a very good reserve.

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!!

If we do it’s a totally uninspiring line up because when the big heats come up we will get done over because we have no-big hitters

In truth there is no argument. Todd is better at Sheffield than Auty, as proven by stats. Only someone who has no knowledge of the CL would argue different.

I can remember Terry riding in the 1989 Briggo German legends meeting and in one ride giving Penhall a real race .He still looked quick and smooth a great rider and a great embassador for our sport.

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.....

Yes, I can think of a few. Chris Harris in particular springs to mind, he is always prepared ready to take a booking at the drop of a hat if it’s possible to get there in time. He’s a professional rider working in a professional way.

I see it now on the website.I didn't disbelieve you as i know you are trustworthy and must have seen it somewhre to put it on here. Well it's a big welcome back to Robert,that put's to bed some of the rumours from some that thought he wouldn't do th UK this coming season.

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..

A very good scrambler (as it was in those days). Used to watch him when scrambling was a feature on Saturday afternoon TV. Dave Bickers, Jeff Smith, then they brought Torsten Holman and Rolf Tiblin (names if I remember right). Great stuff. Another good in bites the dust.

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.

Interesting Rebel1...Your Speedway history is very similar to my own...Although I did not start at Rayleigh...West Ham, Lakeside and now Kent. It will be interesting to see if our view of current Speedway is similar. I think the signing of Scott Nicholls was a master stroke.

Nice look back to the fantastic 1976 comets in the "ss" this week , steve lawson shows a true gentleman he is saying how much pride he has in both his sons.

Couldn't agree more.
