  1. Turbo Twins?? Chris Holder and Darcy Ward were given that title for a reason. Giving that name to the Thompson's is the same as putting Ant & Dec in the same company as Morecambe & Wise.

  6. Feel for King, it isn’t just tonight he hasn’t been on it all season. Need to support him though because he’s a damn good rider at this level. On another note, what a class act Doyle is. Dragged us out of a hole more than once. Is there another rider around that’s not just as good as him, but gives his all every time in our country? Worth his weight in gold this fella.

  10. Everything would've been fine if Dan Gilkes didn't have that awful crash. Make up our own rules and bring Simon Lambert in as a rising star I say.

  11. What's happened to Torun's track? It was a great race track with lots of passing but now it's just a gate and go track like Prague.

  13. I'm not questioning that at all, clearly a hell of a lot of money has been spent up there, and I hope to be impressed by the facilities one day when I finally get the chance to go

  14. I think the fact Ashfield is being used for the GP Challenge is a fair indication of the standard of the track (and stadium facilities too)

  15. Hopefully Berwick will have learned the lesson of a few ago where they booked Lee Complin as a guest then gave him and the rest of the riders little or no material to work with.

  19. Yes, all fair points, when i say the track is not conducive to junior racing I am referring to the lesser (junior) riders of a CL team that i see trying to get around Leicester. Nobody stands out, I think it's fair to say even the highly rated Anders Rowe has failed to get to grips with the track and even the likes of Drew Kemp & Jordan Palin have failed to ever show anything. Anyway, you may just have sold it to me you rascal, I'll see what the teams are like after Saturday and what the weather is like on Sunday and may just pop along to see what all the fuss is about

  20. I’d have been happy with a point before the start but left feeling a bit frustrated it wasn’t more in the end. Two really poor starts from Niels in 10 & 12 cost him. The outside line didn’t work all meeting so what on earth Jorgensen was thinking in heat 14, god only knows. Just left the inside open lap after lap and eventually Riss took the invite. Doyle was head and shoulders above everyone and never really looked like being beaten. Even when behind, only a matter of time before hitting the front. Riss looking more and more like the rider we know he can be. Worst I’ve seen King by a mile. For the Stars, impressed again with Lewi and surprised he didn’t get the nod in heat 15, though Lawson did spring into life a bit after being quiet early on. How Jorgensen didn’t stack it after picking up in heat 10 I’ll never know. The team is looking solid though and other than Wolves away, been competitive everywhere. Mom - R/R for Starke. Match winning 8+1, what a stroke of luck for Ipswich he didn’t make it

  22. The youth championship was in the fixture list at the start of the season. It's been in the programme every week. It was announced multiple times at the track v. Poole. Agree it's poor the websites is not updated regularly but the meeting was well advertised elsewhere

  23. I think the sport on league level has reached a point of its needs a mechanical overall, it’s becoming more like F1 by the year but a poor man’s F1, the product this year has been very poor in all countries but nothing will change, the sport is run by the riders and the tuners for the riders and the tuners

  26. We still have it, we use it before meetings manly, to be honest it's most effective when there is a good amount of dirt on the track, but the grader is best at moving the dirt back down to the inside, it may get more use as the weather improves which allows more dirt to be added, which in turn allows better watering, as it stays in longer,

  29. Yeah, hopefully should be good tonight - he was fantastic in the league. Never know what he’ll do at Ashfield - massive win in heat 13 against Poole last time out there!

  30. I am surprised that there is not the same rule in speedway as there is for road racing where long hair must be contained within the riders helmet or clothing. I know you have the cut outs that should kill an engine quickly in the case of a crash to me there is still plenty of risk of long hair getting tangled in moving bike parts and causing a really nasty injury.

  33. The rule book is on line and I can’t see anything on hair. As I said, I’m sure the rule was dropped some time ago. Similarly, there can’t be any restrictions elsewhere in Europe as Antonio Lindback has had long hair for years.

  34. Hope we can keep this close tonight . It will be different from the league match as all three Monarchs heat leaders had average meetings by their standards then . I dont expect that to happen again. So anything less than a 10 point defeat will set up the guest fest tomorrow night nicely

  37. Could Jeremy Doncaster be worth a gamble? If he finds 1988 form you could make a run for the playoffs

  38. Yes I know the answer - very little demand probably due to their relatively low crowds and admission price. Slow connection when required to print receipts. Two of the three meetings streamed were from empty stadiums with no other demands on the upload connection - but not without incident. Birmingham I don't know as I was busy elsewhere in the stadium that day and don't know what specific measures BSN had in place. Seem to remember complaints on here - but that's not usually a true measure of reality. Feel free to invent a parallel reality to fit your agenda.

  39. Do you have to pay to park at Leicester? Free at Berwick We have the cheapest championship prices that I’ve found to be honest, taking in parking, entrance and a programme

  45. You should use your influence to get the rent at Brough reduced. Then it snowballs down the chain and the riders can then do their lap of honour after a heat win, To be fair they are saving on that as the heat wins are scarce.

  46. Maybe that's why senior riders very seldom do a lap of honour, it's an extra 25% in fuel,,, or maybe tha just keeping an eye on tha carbon footprint?
