Hard to ride the Uk tracks..lol its hardly Wolves and Arena anymore. .his Polish club wont let him ride and hes been banned.

There is a difference between the Kurtz & Covatti / Musielak situations, if you cannot see that I despair. Kurtz rode in a one-off match (GP qualifier) but hasn't ridden for his British or Polish clubs since. Covatti has basically declared he's fit to ride, just not in Britain. If Musielak doesn't turn up on Thursday then he's done the same.

I'm speaking facts. Kings Lynn are terrible. It's not my job to turn it round.

I'm flabbergasted that peolple are still referring to GI, by some flying pig miracle, building a new track as "positive news" We don't want these parasites to have any connection to the club whatsoever! Anyone worth their salt would refuse to attend and line that b****** Osborne's pockets and it would be a matter of time before he would be looking to put houses on the new land. If GI are our only option, I would rather we stay mothballed!

It was not funny when Woffinden fell off ... very few falls are. He picked up some grip and did well to dump his bike into the last bit of air fence on the 4th bend. British Speedway has been crying out for some personalities and, dare I say it, "baddies", but now Woffinden is fulfilling that sort of role, people start moaning! Before the meeting, Woffinden was the only rider I saw who stopped and talked to fans, posing for numerous photos/selfies, before going into the pits.

Lovely attitude to have

Another disastrous result against a side with no Barker. Hopefully Dickson gets Starke back to guest for the next match as he’s been a roaring success so far.

Lets look on the bright side hope he ok

Good news is, once MPT is fit again, he can guest for Musielak

The only place i see Buster running next year, is into retirement.

Kings Lynn should just run in the Championship. They are absolutely rubbish in the prem

Can't beat a wind up or 2 on these forum pages H18TORY and all that

Showing he has a SOH as well! With the exception of his comment about effing off back to Ipswich I dont have a problem with him - i just feel that lacked a bit of class. British Speedway certainly is benefitting from having a lot of the top riders back in my view. He certainly is very decent around Sheffield right now. Your comments about the gates and passing tally with my previous visit which was Leicester in the cup - gate 4 at Foxhall is the new gate 3 at Owlerton!

Of course it’s all about the racing, and the riders. Bengt Jansson - ‘Benga’ or ‘Banger’ - was pure class and to think that a Hackney rider was within a ride-off of becoming World Champion frankly beggars belief! He once finished with an end-of-season average of 10.26 - a cool Swede in his yellow leathers. Garry Middleton, a one-off, who never rode harder than the night he won the Golden Helmet at Hackney. Can’t remember who he was against, but he was the underdog, and the fans loved it! Slender little Zenon Plech, a real full-throttle merchant, crazy, mad, frustrating, spectacular, the original Polish wonder kid, who at his best was just amazing round Waterden Road. We enjoyed that he didn’t gate consistently - he would square off the corners, especially the last bend, and ‘find’ his way through on the inside at great speed. Little Davy Morton and his chequered leathers. Loved gate four at Waterden Road as he would blast round the first and second bend banking and come out in the lead going down the home straight. Our No 8 from Crewe, he came into the side in May at reserve, and by July was beating the Great Dane Ole Olsen not once but twice! Bo Peep - the immaculate and exciting tall Dane Bo Petersen. He could pass at The Wick up the inside, or hanging spectacularly off the side of the bike roaring round the outside - great balance. Unusually for us, he always had the best of equipment thanks to his sponsor Ivan Henry, and one season actually topped the league averages for a long while - I cannot think of any other Hawk to manage that. He once had to be physically restrained from attacking Danish captain Olsen after Ole had purposely run the young whippersnapper up into the first bend fence! Then there were a few youngsters who had their moments: Un-sung Steve Lomas, resplendent in his green leathers, coming third in the final of a star studded end of season Champions Chase in 1974 and relegating the great Swede Anders Michanek into last place! He had beaten the likes of Terry Betts, Martin Ashby and Simmo in the heats. Dave Kennett, known by the Plough Lane followers as ‘Killer Kennett’, but 'Davy Crockett' to the Hawks faithful, who hugged the white line and woe betide anyone in his way. He had the most scary of crashes early in 1973 when he and the promising Allan Emmett roared through the third bend fence together whilst team riding. Did they lock handlebars? It was a terrifying high speed crash, his bike, which was write-off, flying over the fence, sparks and all. Although he walked away reportedly with just cuts and bruises, many felt that he was never quite the same rider after that. The Fireman Geoff Maloney in his black leathers was promoted up from Rayleigh and had a grin as wide as the Blackwall tunnel. Especially the night when he beat Peter Collins, guesting for Wolves, twice on his way to his one and only Hackney maximum.

If that's the case it's pretty low!

Looks like Laguta all over again. For once in ages it looked like we had put a half decent team together, and it's looking like going t!ts up yet again.

I can remember when the announcer at Sheffield use to say give me a T give me a I give me a G give me E give me a R give me a S what have you got and all us kids would yell tigers god I am getting old lol

Could someone please start a special topic for @Trackrat and @LagutaRacingFan to post in so they can leave the rest of us in peace?

You talk some crap

Have you been talking to Buster.

Yea it's the tiggers of Glasgow who don't like it much, but can't see many lurking on here as it seems they have given up on this season with the team that's been built to a budget for a change

True, well we'll be the only team that turns up anyway!

There's nothing on the SCB website about a ban... yet, they're probably still trying to figure out the wording When is a ban not a ban? When it's in Speedway

Surely the Council's view about retaining the stadium site for Leisure etc, might only change if any alternative site was found within the Swindon Council boundaries.

Rumour mill was saying he wasn’t returning for lynn a week ago. big question is it the riders decision or maybe a cost cutting decision from the promotion or Poland refusing him to return. be a great replacement for jason Doyle.

Very interesting news and rumours on Musielak, always thought he was a decent guy and a good racer, when he signed for you boys at Lynn, i thought that was a great move, but does look a bit like muddy water again. I hope not for you Supporters, again i suppose time will tell.

I watch it on TVP sport, Polish commentary far easier to understand

He makes out he hates us, I reckon he goes every week

Talking of Facebook's strange quirks. I have just been informed by them that a comment on a site I administer has been take down because it goes against community standards. This is the post in question: "We left in 1982, it was a great place to grow up and have fantastic memories of being there with my mum and dad Rose & Lou." This was on a post about Jaywick. As you can see this undoubtedly breaks all sorts of rules, though I have to admit I am not quite sure which ones at the moment. In addition, the comment was posted in February this year, so it has taken them four months to get round to removing it. Who knows what damage and mental anguish could have been caused to members of the page I administer by this scurrilous comment before they took it down?

Some footage from the Soviet tour in 1966;

Coles when guesting at Berwick the other week seemed to make fantastic starts then be the slowest rider on show. Thankfully his starts were enough to score him some points.

By ‘hard’ i meant against other riders. I feel he gives them too much space.

Think one of the problems is how they deal with injuries.Some Teams can be very unlucky(as in GB) but NO Guests makes it a more legitimate outcome.Fans are watching their Team at all times.

It's good to see Connor in sparkling form after his injuries last year. He has bonded well with the team and on current form must be looking to improve his average. His commitment and energy are there for all to see and it is good to see him attacking the circuit again. I am sure despite some resistance in some quarters the majority of Edinburgh fans look at his signing as a positive for the club. Well done.

Have to agree, no one could touch him.

Am sure dates have to be agreed !

It's the privileged Poole fans they expect everything on their doorsteps .

False dawn. Given the commitment of the riders in their racing I don't think the size of the crowd had any effect on them.

I think there were a few more there than last year to be honest and similarly to last year, the racing was extremely competitive. I genuinely hope we get it next year too.

You ain’t wrong with clueless Allit involved ain’t he Allit’s neighbour or at least lives down the same road

That's what lots of people overlook. Many have slammed the low points limit, but if there's not a lot of stronger riders out there wanting a team spot, how could clubs have built to 40 instead of 38? Singing new 4.00 foreigners - having no 2.00 Brits? I also would've preferred Vissing to Flint.

He caught my eye too with his first couple of rides but then I noticed he didn't change lines at all, irrespective of where anyone else was. Not trying to be over critical of a novice but he'd really have impressed if he had tried a Plan B at any time. Obviously that would come with experience. Fact is Foord looked a better bet than Pijper today.

Looks like they have found new owners.So for once a club has not closed down after Osbourne being involved ...Really Please for them
