  1. It's just a cunning marketing ploy by the Promotion to get more AWAY supporters to turn up at the Dale,but well done to the Tigers.
  2. The main problem nowadays is British Style tracks are no longer a must to learn your trade.Tracks abroad are more suited to the modern machinery nowadays so unless the up and coming talent can get opportunities to ride abroad on a regular basis it will not help their development.Good to see Tai trying to do something for the young lads though.Wouldnt hold my breath on the outcome though.
  3. Were starting to employ the 48 hr notice rule that Horton invented last week.Starting at 24hrs and working up to 48hr.
  4. Its pretty obvious that Harris has no idea regarding bike set/ups or mechanical knowledge, his career is littered with interviews saying " it was the bike and we'll get it right for the next one".He has had the skills but doesn't seem to have had the right people round him for most of his career .Either that or he does not listen.
  5. Good win for Bandits,any away win is difficult.Good all round Team performance .Why is Ben having so many bike failures ,it is a worry .
  6. I read but what about Grigori Laguta what's up with him
  7. If the Russians could solve their disputes and put out their 4 best riders they would give the Poles a run for their money.
  8. the riders demands are not going to be met by Promotions who don't have the money so they will be out of a job if a track closes or drops a division which could happen judging on the crowd levels being reported at a number of tracks.Its the riders who will have to look out IMO .
  9. A young up and coming rider is not going to make it to the top on Standard equipment .That is what he will think IMO .To be the best is every young riders ambition is it not?
  10. Yip,every top rider will do all he can to make sure (he thinks) he has an advantage on the opposition.(whether it is the engine or the rider, you can't tell though).They like throwing their money away.
  11. British reserves didn't get the chance work because when Boxall was cleaning up and got a big average,and the BSPA did not know how to deal with it.The rest were just coming along gaining expieriance.So they scrapped it.
  12. There might have to be a lot more judging by the state the sport is in.IMO.
  13. Reduce the Admission Price,Promoters have to stop paying riders money they can't afford,if the riders can't make living they should go off and do something else to supplement their earnings.Speedway is not a full time professional sport nowadays in GB based on attendances,needs to go back to its roots and rebuild .Get rid of 2nd rate foreigners and use young Brits.
  14. dont think Morris was unfair Robert pulled a slight locker which scrubbed his speed Morris looked to have the room coming of the bend .lambert did not seem think anything about it when interviewed some great riding from him throughout the evening.
  15. Gregs a fantastic gater but he also stays in front 90% of the time and that's not easy when the worlds best are on your tail.Worthy World Champion at 45 years old.
  16. Is he not Saying that as JS had not achieved an average by May1st he will be given his real average if the Team is re-declared,thus reducing what you have to play with.
