  2. We'll see . It could be some medication he takes . Couple of years ago Kyle Howarth was guesting for the Monarchs against us and he failed a test and wasn't allowed to ride . Turned out it was Night Nurse and he was back riding the following week for his clubs . So too early to hang Lee out to dry yet

  3. They have already seen speedway.Given the problems Leicester have had with the track over the years your comments are a bit weak.

  4. The wind is brutal today down by the coast, not surprised it’s off. They could have risked it by running it, but with the many temporary structures that are in place (this is not a stadium by any means) and debris flying, who would be liable? It would be madness to run in these conditions with a much reduced crowd, having plenty of free weekends probably makes the decision easier these days.

  5. Ridiculous after last season. No sympathy and leave club in a nightmare situation looking for a replacement

  6. it seems in modern day speedway 'fans' sit behind a computer and moan, moan and moan - now that is comical to read.

  8. Thats a bit of an arrogant statement mate, Plymouth are generally well supported with a decent away following it's just a pity that a lot of riders don't want to travel down to Plymouth for home meetings, plus the racetrack is not a favourite of many riders though Mark Phillips has tried to extend the track a little over the close season, I wish Plymouth all the best for 2024 and hope they can get some decent weather to complete the Track improvements.

  9. Your vendetta against Plymouth is pathetic as is your total lack of respect for the ndl,which is where the future of British speedway is nurtured,not some hellish place that teams you have a vendetta against get banished to as some form of punishment.

  12. If, a big if, it is drugs or alcohol related it’s good to know the testers are out and about early in the season. Must be good for the sport IF it is a testing fail.

  14. It’s strange as Complin is known for going round the boards… all I can say is he’s clearly been taking the inside line.

  15. It seems that in modern day speedway we can't run because, the wind is blowing, rain is forecast, the sun is in the riders eyes, it's too cold, it's too hot, the car park is soggy, the trees are swaying, the swimming pool is flooded etc. It's quite comical to read

  17. I live 1 mile inland from the track and the wind has considerably strengthened since this morning been out for me walk, and in the big gusts, I got blown about, imagine this on a bike at 60mph with 3 others beside you, besides the sea in an exposed arena !!! Also been another extremely soggy week in West Cumbria, granted its dry today, track may have been ok but the car parking could be very soggy, was soft last week. Think the correct decision was made, these days elf and safety rules everything . One major event called off locally due to high winds is the festival of light, where walkers light up the path on catbells, a popular mountain overlooking Keswick . Most people disagreeing about the postponement do not live in the area and don't realise how bad the wind is now getting

  18. Nice to see the absolute weapons that were kicking about on here in 2018 are still here now. Right decision to call it off today, the rain we’ve had through night the past 2 nights has been horrendous for a start. The wind today is bad, these bikes can be volatile at the best of times couldn’t imagine trying to keep some sort of control with a 70mph gust battering you. Plenty of free weekends over the course of the season to squeeze this one back in.

  19. Many will remember your Club as a bit of a joke until Ben Duffil came in and transformed it in to the progressive Club it is today. Your vendetta is puerile and just emphasises how apt your name tag is.

  20. Steve Worralls early season form hasn’t exactly set the heather alight. But 42 away to a good Berwick team and taking into account the circumstances is respectable for a season opener. Should manage the aggregate bonus point at Ashfield.

  23. Completely understand the opinion of certain individuals but let’s see what the actual evidence is please before judging, Lee has been racing for years and has possibly been tested in the past so I think if he was to fail a test it is likely to be related to that rather than enhancing his performance? Look at the fact he is a number 6 in the championship and hasn’t got any other spot! Think about that before you decide

  24. Is it getting closer to there being a case to test every rider before meetings rather than just random testing?

  25. Feel for any team that happens too. Think Richie Worrall would have been at Edinburgh in 2024 so we dodged one there.

  26. Team needs restructured now, we wont find an equivalent rider on 3.50. What a f**king let down.

  27. Yeah, true. When it's due to a drugs test, they normally say 'unfit/not fit to ride' so have a slight doubt it isn't that as they saying 'not eligible to ride.' Maybe we shouldn't assume the worst but hard not to after last season! Hope for Glasgow's sake it isn't that. Edit - 'medical reasons' was the reason for Richie W and Boxall. I think Complin's is something else.

  28. thinking the same he must have broken some sort of rule mabe licence not through in time hopfully something simple like that

  29. Really hope this isn't a worrall/ boxall/ Morris situation here. Striking similarities in the lack of information prior the the meeting

  30. My understanding is that whilst the tracks have installed the equipment, there remains a technical difficulty whereby the individual transponders fitted to bikes are not yet able to fully communicate with the recording hub. Similarly the automated tape release system that was supposed to be introduced this year is not yet operational. A reliable source indicated that, rather than invest in the tried and tested GP system, the BSPL bought a cheaper alternative that has proved unreliable and negotiations between both parties to find a solution are ongoing.

  34. If you're going to wait for perfect conditions to run speedway in this country you can forget it. Everybody seems to be an elf and safety fairy these days... god help us if we have to goto war again! This country's screwed, we seem to be breeding a generation of complete pussies! It's not really a club loyalty issue, I'm the first to call Leicester out when they've ballsed up, which generally is quite frequently

  37. Been very wet in Berwick this week, particularly Wednesday, there has been more rain over night but its currently dry with a decent forecast. https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2655819 One thing you may want to consider is car parking, Berwick Rangers who are playing at home this afternoon are advising that the car park is very muddy, that is hardly likely to improve with the people going to the football. Taken from Berwick Rangers site. Today's game goes ahead after the pitch passed its inspection! The car park at Shielfield is very muddy, so please take care if driving to the game. If you are able to walk to the ground rather than drive, please do.

  40. Those owners who eventually sold up, by & large, did so after many years of owning, developing & maintaining the facility whilst ensuring as best as possible, a competitive team was put together. Osborne, on the other hand has an undeniable history of acquiring stadiums/clubs and running both into the ground with little or no investment in either before selling off for development. The message is clear, When Osbourne comes calling, so does the Grim Reaper.

  42. Although zmarzlik is still my favourite to win the GP again I believe his main challenger this year will be Doyle, I think he is the only guy in the series who has got what it takes to take on zmarzlik but Doyle has got to address his discipline on the start line, he throws so many points and races away by trying to jump the start, he is certainly hard enough to challenge and this year looks fast enough too
