is this is how true speedway fans see this . as does this post . so , you start a new job and it takes time to settle in . its not like a light switch when its either off or on . last weeks meeting against edinburgh was close racing , but the scores did not look that way. Celina won the reserves race in a FASTER time than Tate in ht 1 . even when Celona got pushed out on the first bend , she made the ground up on the front three . both reserves are improving at their own rate and deserve time to get to grips with everything you also have to look at CELINAS sponsor (ray fisher bodyworks ) how do you think they feel about that . this could damage any further involvement with help from them with the riders . i think about %95 of fans who turn up @ worky do like the effort both put into it , but speedway does not work like that .. to to see Celins and Sam doing their best to improve bit by bit .didnt Sam beat kyle howarth at worky v scuunthorpe . more progress from these two .we are NOT glasgow and drop riders like hot spuds . we are supporters who love the sport for what it is . up the marras . speedway would be a borefest if changes were made to win a silver tin pot worth about £10.00 .

Can someone tell me where any better reserves are gonna come from ? Don't forget the team is put together on a budget. Moneybags Glasgow are also on the lookout to replace complin and maybe others. Imo we are doing OK for our 1st season back, get behind the team and enjoy the ride. UTC

So looking at the current greensheets we are rock bottom in the averages along with Redcar and Edinburgh all sitting under 38, this season's team building was a monumental c***k up and we need to live with that, try and win all our home meetings and plan for next season, at least the racing is spectacular, we have been mince in the past, will be character building this year for sure, new fans expect to win at all costs whereas us oldies enjoyed speedway when we were bottom of the league. Good luck to my second team this season Workington, will be interesting following their exploits

Hows it the chemists fault? Every time someone goes in to ask for benadryl for a cold do you think the pharmacist should come out and interrogate them aboutwhether they intend to ride speedway? The pharmacist is more than happy enough to advise but it is Lee who has to ask about it. They have no legal right to refuse to sell him it unless abuse is suspected

No , you have my fave no 1, Craig Cook, who I also sponsor, just ask him, and I am following Celina's progress, no bitterness on my side, I still support the tigers but will always support Cookie as well

Its easier being controversial when your at the top of your game but you look a bit of a pillock when you start dropping down the rankings

Yet another strong unelaborated statement from you. You never explained your last one regarding what financial help Workington received from the speedway authorities and how the chairman helped put the team together

I'm not sure if everyone's aware of this or not - if over the counter meds, such as co-codamol, I expect Lee would have recieved a nice wee statement rather than a ban.... https://www.scbgb.co.uk/news.php?extend.83

Are you really that thick,blame the chemist.pmsl.

Ask the poster .... TINYS Members 316 741 posts Posted Sunday at 10:34 AM My mate went to stock cars at Lynn yesterday and apparently Buster announced that there won't be speedway at Lynn after this season. Thanks for the kind words. But your wrong on both counts.

it will have been a substance that leaves a trace of a BANNED substance and lee with all the knowledge of bannned medication should know about ! also the chemist that sold lee the stuff should have refused or told lee of the side effects and told the person about any side effects . its common knowledge amonst the riders in todays sport , THE END.

From memory we signed our team quite early, suggesting these were the guys we wanted. Perhaps too early for Brennan. Throw in a strange decision not to have Danes this year and a couple of doubtful choices and you end up with a pretty poor team. Worrall might have been signed as he was perceived as a Poole specialist; Flint was a shot in the dark while Starke was signed for old times sake. A strong top two -second only to Oxford if based on averages- and high averaged reserves, squeezed the middle and left little scope for manoeuvre. Thank goodness for James P.

We need to learn from it! How a club that could up to now pull good riders from nowhere when no one was seemingly available and play the average system to their absolute advantage, could put together this years' 1-7 is beyond me. There will definitely be some acclimatisation for the newbies who've only known success and perhaps a reality check for the long termers.

I think that Oxford will keep Craig Cook, it would be madness to let him go on his present form. I can see Oxford releasing Lewis Kerr. And given the choice between Kyle Howarth and Lewis Kerr, I would go for Kyle.

No,he can take his 4 programmed rides,an R/R,a tac sub and ht 15 if they wanted. Edit:Gambo just beat me too it.

Its ME ..

More likely they need someone with the intelligence to string a sentence together writing the statements in the first place.

You have two of our better riders from recent years... If you'd signed Rasser or Ben as well, you'd probably get a coach load to each meeting

Spotify or Amazon platforms. It's very King's Lynn so might not be to everybody's taste but I think we get a good balance between the three of us. We are ten episodes in and it's being received pretty well.

Signing 2 HLs who have never, imo, impressed at ashfield was bonkers. I don't know if no one else was available or was a concerted effort to sign them. But you need the riders to improve averages to be successful, and a strong home average usually comes with that!

Think we just have to accept that mistakes have been made over the winter , and the Complin thing couldn't have been forseen . With no real viable alternatives , we just see the season out with what we have

Rob Godfrey stopped clubs riding on Friday because they could not get guests. Seems same rule has forced Mildenhall to stay on Sundays if they come back. BSPL inconsistent again. Getting fed up with all this nonsense. And who gave away UK priority on Thursdays? Is it true? Only read it on here. Never seen BSPL statement and I subscribe to Star.

Garry May only needs one meeting out of Covatti who then goes AWOL and Plymouth get a full facility (albeit on a temporary basis under the 2024 regulations).

Did he coast round to beat Flint in Heat 4

To make a switch at reserve would be a major error. Both reserves are improving week by week and are great to watch. Workington is my favourite team right now. Two ex Swindon riders, 3 exciting new foreigners, solid number one and a raw 100% tryer at no 7. This team needs sticking with. I've already got my credit card ready for the next time they are on the telly!

Back in the day (like 50 years ago) there was no more intense rivalry than that between Coventry and Leicester. However, as a speedway fan I regularly go to Leicester these days while I wait for Brandon to reopen (yes it will, you see). My best friend says he follows Leicester but isn't a supporter. I'm a bit more on the side of being a supporter. It's not like any of the team come from Leicester is it? Seriously, I love my speedway and supporting a former rival seems to me quite appropriate. And just so this doesn't hijack the thread, I enjoy my visits to Oxford, very much. But when Brandon reopens I'll be back there like a shot.

I thought the comparison between Tai's interview and Emil's interview was interesting - totally chalk and cheese. Tai always seems to have a chip on his shoulder and be looking for ways to be controversial - never seems to engage well with the interviewer. Compare that to Emil - both riders of similar standard but Emil much more interesting and easier to listen to.

Okay, I'm bored now, but couldn't resist checking this thread after seeing the pumping your lot took at Poole... I think I've made my point now so I'm gong to leave it or I'll be accused of stalking like when @IronScorpion stalks me. Cheer up mate and try and enjoy your Speedway like me

I'm sure Poole will do their utmost to further assist Plymouth by delaying the fixture until Covatti is fully fit!!

They have said he will need test's done using his hair. This would indicate a smoking habit, Hair samples are a normal way to test for recreational use of morrocan woodbines.

Thank you Gambo and tellboy. Three of us were debating this last night once MPT's name wasn't announced for heat 15. Now we know for the future.

Kyle seemed to have more speed on Friday for Scunthorpe, hopefully he’s managed to get to the bottom of his lack of speed so far this season. Sounds like someone been having a spin at Owlerton tonight, or might be my ears playing tricks on me!!

No, any rider can have a maximum of 7 rides, even an 8th ride if in a Super Heat. Super Heat rides do not count in the Averages.

Picks are Lahti Thomsen Berge Jensen Blodorn

And additionally on that, we need Peterborough Speedway fans and the wider speedway world to get a second wind and register an objection on the Peterborough City Council planning portal (Either new or additional comments based on what you now know: just say that the objection is additional. Doesn't need to be anything detailed but we need to counteract the raft of weak support comments being submitted recently (some of which offer no comment but just register as a support submission when the numbers are compiled) As well as yourself, you can get friends and family to submit a new or additional objection as long they say as such if additional: 23/00412/OUT | Outline permission for up to 650 dwellings - this is where Peterborough Speedway sits. https://planpa.peterborough.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=makeComment&keyVal=RSXWVDML04U00 23/00400/OUT | Outline permission for up to 850 dwellings - this is the part not in the local plan that the chancer has thrown it to totally confuse the issue https://planpa.peterborough.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=makeComment&keyVal=RSOMJ0MLIWV00

Ipswich 20 points and even Oxford was 12 so only Sheffield and Kings Lynn have kept the defeat below 10

Reading the above Baggy I’d say you were unlucky NOT to get a result! Great effort especially with only three points coming from Musielak’s R/R rides.

I think you're giving him far too much credit for thinking he knows exactly what he's doing. Did he know exactly what he was doing when he attacked and assaulted an unarmed fan in Poland a while back. You can be controversial without being offence, you only had to watch him during the British Speedway press day sat in front of all the other riders giving it the Billy big spuds effing and jeffing and a lot of the other riders giggling like school kids because Tai had used a bad word... it's all been done before, see Bill Grundy, it's a shame because he can be quite an engaging character when he's not "performing"

Sam Masters guesting for Josh Friday

Monarchs legend back in the blue and gold on Friday.

I saw the topic title, and figured it was about some Motown group or something?

Not sure they are struggling financially? After all, Tolley said that he could afford Zmarzlik/Lindgren, but they didn't want to ride in the UK ....

Yep i enjoy it as well but a bit pricey but well worth a visit and proper mushy peas.

And your hourly dig at him, you've made your point every day for the last 6 - 12 months don't you think it's time to give the rest of us a break?

I think you're really a Swindon fan who has since converted to Oxford. Which means you're definitely NOT a proper Oxford fan. While I can appreciate speedway fans in general wanting to watch speedway and it's sad to see some teams not around any more, I never once started supporting Swindon while Oxford were out of action - I went as I wanted to watch speedway and naturally didn’t want Swindon to win. Can you imagine Cradley fans becoming Wolves fans, etc.? Sends a shiver down my spine.

was not the so called pandemic a health and safety issue to you then, so i did wrongly assume your position on that , but a large majority of the population were mind controlled into taking it, and there are a lot of people regretting it now. government love to tell people how to live there lives, and H&S, is part of that system.

What I don’t understand. growing up as a kid kings lynn and buster was always know to be the club and guy that no matter the weather was during the day he could take all the water and grip off and re-lay the track in 1 hour. where as that buster gone???

How many years do I have to bang the drum about the sport using more usable engines
