  1. Just a thought - Have you considered boycotting the BSF as an alternative. I'm sure if you refrained from posting it will bring thd FIM to its knees.

  2. Can’t really have the same banter with the Lions fans as you sort of feel please for them being in the final whilst at the same time wanting to beat them. If it was say Poole, Coventry, Wolves or Sheffield you can have ago about them cheating or the fact their track is gate’n’go. Say gate’n’go to a Lions fan and they agree with you. Maybe we could both set up a re enactment society and recreate the 1971 Battle of Hyde Rd during the interval. I’m playing Wilkie. I hope the weather issues can be overcome and we get a decent 2nd leg and not just a going through the motions event, that would be a disservice to both teams. Fingers crossed with the track and that everyone has a safe meeting. Very civilised.

  7. He may make the GPs at some point but these young poles can suddenly find it more difficult when they are too old for the protected reserve berth. People would have said similar about Smektała, Drabik, Miśkowiak, cierniak, while these riders still have plenty of time on their side none of them look like GP riders at this moment in time. I think there has only ever been 4 riders that have gone on to win the world championship after winning the under 21's.

  9. Indeed.... The days when it truly "meant something"... And teams had riders who became synonymous with that team... Reg Wilson - Sheffield Ray Wilson - Leicester Terry Betts - Kings Lynn Eric Boocock - Halifax.. And many, many more.. One rider - One Team...

  10. I’d like to see a new rule which allows the referee to have a no blame rerun where a incident on the track is a 50/50 then both riders can be put in the rerun unlike now when a rider must be excluded. also every premiership team to run in the NDL with their rising star leading the team.

  18. I think it's unlikely he rides again this season imo, the fact he's booked an assessment tells you it wasn't a mild concussion, I'm sure he's desperate to get back but just don't think it's worth the risk.

  21. The bikes are less forgiving these days and you have such a small optimal useable range that outside that range the bike is uncompetitive and it’s reading things like that you think well why don’t we make the engines like we had before where it was competitive without a limited range, well the answer is because the sport is run by the riders for the riders via the tuners and it’s quite the little cartel they have going and turkeys don’t vote for Xmas

  22. Not so sure about that, Hagon has been an unmitigated disaster signing, the only reason the fans haven't been on his back is that he was no better or worse than JT, he started off steadily but since the end of July has barely been able to score a single point. Personally I'd be looking at Luke Kileen, I like what I've seen of him

  28. Kurtz, Bewley, Lidsey and Cook is 31.27 ... That only leaves 7.73 for the number 2 & number 6! I can’t see Lemo leaving himself that short ... I think he’ll go with Kurtz, Bewley, Lidsey & Blodorn, leaving 9.32 for the last 2 places.

  29. I don't think it was a case of the poles over riding, it was a case of Banbor losing control and taking out Krawczyk who was racing on the normal Krawczyk line. Its sad because he is a real racer and I was hoping he might make the podium tonight. Certainly diminishes Wroclaws chances.

  31. I said at the start of the season this situation would happen, there have should have been some kind of average retention policy brought in for retaining the new batch of 2.00 riders. It would only apply to new 2.00 riders retained at the same club for the following season. A 15% cut would reward clubs for developing said rider and reward the rider with another team spot for making progess in the sport, not penalising for doing well! Luke's 4.43 would become 3.77, which can become alot more inviting for team building purposes. Whether things like this are even discussed are another matter.

  32. We need to pin Rowe down at number 6... Gives us the option of making our 1-5 a bit stronger, instead of it being Ben Cook at 1 with Iversen, Klindt, Basso and Kvech being our 2-5

  40. Not sure if you saw my edited post but it was four and probably should have been five but for the Leicester call off. That was re-arranged for early September on the week kids went back to school. I agree that clubs should do more and would have liked us to have staged a round, but it’s not right to say we did nothing.

  45. I’ve never tried one but the bottom tube is like a square tube design so I would imagine it makes the bike drive more but and this is my opinion only it makes the bike very unpredictable on less than perfect tracks.3 riders who use them are lambert, Doyle and lindgren who are all very fast this year but have randomly had moments where the bike has just taken off in the middle of the corner but I suppose if I they feel it works 90% of the time it’s worth the risk in their mind, traction control is banned in speedway so they are trying to sort of create it with frame modifications, I know zmarzlik has brought a lot of them but isn’t using them at moment and well he is world champion so do they work ?

  46. What's the issue? Lots of respect for Chris... World Champions are a special breed... Met him once on the Monster rig at the SON.. A very decent lad.. Ignore social media knobheads.... Life is too short... And sometimes you come off worst.. Great to see him perform so well on Monday...
