  2. Having been looking forward to a Dad and his 2 lads weekend at the Grand Prix Round 2 in Warsaw we had brilliant day watching some excellent racing and the whole day went smoothly and as planned. Our flight home Sunday morning was an early one , we met and had photographs taken with Chris and Jack Holder , we met Jason Doyle and his pit crew all at the Airport which was a good start to our trip home. We had unallocated seats on the plane back to the UK and expected to be separated which was fine ….. the boys boarded as I followed on after only to go and find my youngest lad sitting next to the current leader , the one and only Jason Doyle with Simon Lambert sitting in front. As you can imagine my lad had the biggest cheesiest grin ever to be seen ! Both Jason and Simon chatted pretty much most of the flight home sharing stories and offering some banter. Jason also took a keen interest in my lads Kart racing and was more than willing to look at some photos and ask about the sport which made my lads days. To think Jason had been to work only a few hours before and come away winning the Grand Prix and still take time to talk and show interest in my lad is a day we will never forget. We now look forward to our next trip to watch Round 8 in Wroclaw only this time we’ll be joined by her indoors so I’m guessing they’ll be a bit of shopping and sight seeing involved !

  3. Brilliant from Plymouth - well done - best team to visit so far. Thomson and Sedgy winning the IRR rides shows Picko’s withdrawal made zero difference to the outcome. Reserve points - paid 19 vs 3 - says it all.

  4. What motivates people to always complain about call-offs? They all seem to be experts on track preparation (maybe they saw a video on youtube?). This time Chris Louis is wrong because he called off too early, last time he called off too late. Social media has a lot to answer for. It gives a platform for people sitting on their backsides to whinge about what is done by people that actually do things!

  5. That's terribly unlucky timing for the young chap, what with it being Norway Day.

  7. We are getting entertainment I've never enjoyed it more too be honest Yes we are weak at reserve But the biggest noise is when celina comes close or does pass someone It's not all about winning If you had zmarzlik and Lindgren as a pairing in your team it wouldn't be that entertaining as you would just expect them to win every heat

  15. It wasn’t called off incorrectly, and it wasn’t called off the day before the meeting. The issue people have had as you full well know is that Lynn called it off the day before the meeting when the forecast wasn’t all that bad. The forecast then looked worse on the morning of the meeting, if it had been called then, then nobody would have batted an eyelid.

  16. Those lineups sum up why the NDL has been reduced to a mockery. Nothing personal against Hutt but he simply lacks the ability to be either competitive or safe in a fixture of this level. The fact that Mudgeway has been quietly slid into the side in place of Mulford shows either cost cutting or more likely that Jake sees the NDL as nothing more than a nuisance. I feel for those who will end up paying good money for a very one sided match.

  17. Probably not as much as he likes to make out. He was quoted as saying he wanted Lee in the team - that hasn't aged well. Would think they all sit down - Michael Max and Alan Dick - and rough out a team which needs Peter Facennas blessing then the promoters negotiate terms.

  18. From the declared team the only one riding under their average is the one everyone expected to struggle at the start. Winning at home is what really matters in the first year, this side was predicted to take some hidings on the road and not many will come from Poole without it looking like a battering, Cook has been good for double figures all season and if he'd have hit the norm it wouldn't have looked so bad. Don't think there is a need to panic for Workington.

  20. Good to see riders passing on their knowledge to the younger guys. We seen Max Perry at Northside a few times last season and he never failed to impress, smashing little rider growing up fast, sure he will soon be scoring more points.

  21. How come you have not included there most consistant and as far as i can see, rapidly improving Tom Brennan. Who also deserves a wild card for the SEC

  22. A contentious decision but there aren’t many matches where there isn’t something that sparks debate. The proverbial ‘first bend bunching’ when a rider is knocked off. Different referees interpretation of when a rider is ready at the tapes to name but two. Bottom line is the match should have finished at heat 15, a draw. Super heat is plain silly. Mr Brown not doing himself any favours labouring the point.

  23. You have one aggregate point in the bag, won away from home at Plymouth so that aggregate point is pretty much secured, Celina will never drop below a 4 average so I think stick with what you've got wait until just before the 75% league completion and then bring in a four pointer if needed.

  39. Most definitely not (neither for or against brexit/politics have better things to do with my time), its the SCB that set the rules and for 2024 the "Tarresenko rule" that has clearly been hastily put together over a Wetherspoons lunch. Page 98 gives the breakdown of how the chicken bones landed on the table that day. Using Jaizers example Marcin who now rides in ekstraliga league two has a championship British average of 5.79. if he was a new assessed Pole he would now come in on an 8.5 because he rides in league one with an average over 6. As a showing of how frickin stupid this is he would come in on the exact same average as Kai Huckenbeck (Glasgow get the calculators out :) )

  40. I think you need to look deeper into why kings lynn are struggling to attract enough fans. do you remember Brian Havelock running Redcar ? He had poor teams year on year with the same riders and apathy towards the fans. Crowds dropped further and further each year. Interesting enough though the club always made a profit. then a new promotion with enthusiasm invested into the team and engaged with the fans. crowds returned to see good entertaining racing on a well prepared track. look how the Courtney’s run Berwick and Oxford. They too engage with the fans. Buster is tired and fed up and it shows. It’s minimal effort and open the turnstiles and it’s a take it or leave it attitude and a complete contempt of his customers. all lynns troubles are from the top and the owner.

  42. Wow, Rye House Group or whoever, certainly seem to think they could do whatever they wanted on Green Belt Land, storage of high end vehicles, trailers, dump truck etc not to mention all the illegal building work thats gone on, OMG thank goodness the group trying to bring back Speedway to the site are on the case. As for East Herts Council it beggars belief how they do or do not keep a strict watch on sites within their Green Belt Area especially in Lee Valley Regional Country and Nature Park. Let's hope the Council now keep on the case and and if the Leaseholders at Rye House don't comply the Council should send in their own bulldozers and sort it and bill RHG for it.
