I see Rob Branford was hinting that Berwick would suit him and was disappointed he couldn't have been back this season.He would be worth a punt IMO was unlucky in his time with us.

You trying to tell us they are not even good at Crazy Golf or what.

Does it really matter if we are mid table if the entertainment and commitment of the riders is good .There is only one team can be Champions every season and lets faced nobody remembers runners-up. IMO the team on paper in recent season has not performed on the track for various reasons some bad luck but also some poor management of riders performances. It is not an easy job trying to put a speedway team together (on paper yes) that will get the right result.The management have done a good job off- track they now need to concentrate about on -tracks matters.

Edinburgh V Glasgow 'select' (sc) 11/10/13 @ 7.30pm
Fromafar replied to Mr Blobby's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Can't see a huge turnout for this one,thought Grieves would have gone out on a high at Ashfield maybe he is giving retirement second thoughts. -
While Strarke did a decent job at times, he has been riding for a few seasons and IMO that is his level.Also he is not an asset.Carr is not PL level yet but has to be given the opportunity to see what he can do.

Has Dyer fallen out with Redcar,everybody else seems to mention him barring Redcar.
-
Len keeps telling the fans that there's nothing wrong at Rye.So what is there to work out.
-
If it's not Woffy it must be Kennett

Good to hear,I always enjoy my visits .
-
Have the club had a good season crowd wise under the new management,they have had a successful season on the track?
-
Perhaps if more of these un's had the skill and talent to pass him he might think about retiring.Until then why should he,Mauger was a gater but the fans still turned up to see who could beat him.Box Office stuff.
-
When I said improve his gating. I was referring to him gating 1st and have the racing line on the 1st corner,gating in any other position leaves you vulnerable .Hampel and Hancock are examples of what I am talking about they win more races than they lose simply by gatingas do most of the top men.Hence the reason regarding Darcy.

That wouldn't be too difficult. -
Darcy is a fabulous talent but unless he brushes up his gating it will be difficult for him win Titles ,when you get to semi's you are meeting 3 riders that are on form on the night and it will be difficult to pass them all if you miss the gate as last night proved.Hancock certainly shows that gating is important.

Tai Woffinden
Fromafar replied to David Haddock's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Not his biggest fan,but has has always had a fantastic style and is a class act on the bike ,Well done and deserved World Title.maybe his mate Darcy will take leaf out of Tai's book it will increase his chances of being Champ. -
Have to agree with you on that one. Machin certainly knows the business and it is disappointing that he is wanting out.He certainly would not pay over the odds and I respect his view.

While I have no reason to dispute your figures,for me it just doesn't add up .there must be a lot of mediocre riders out there with superb back up and a good accountant for the tax returns. The BSPA need to bring in regulations that standardise equipment and slow the sport down a little to bring more closer and competitive racing. THE DEAN MACHINE IMO has a lot of valid points regarding bikes and maintenance.
-
I don't believe that a 7.5-8.5 pt rider riding in the PL doesn't make money out the sport. What is the average points money for a Heat Leader these days.Normal employment is the answer if it doesn't pay IMO

Edinburgh V Ipswich (plpf-gb) 4/10/13 @ 7.30pm
Fromafar replied to Mr Blobby's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Lawson will always be on handy average if his father is still looking after his bikes. -
maybe a swop for Nikki Barrett would be a good deal ,a track specialist with a handy average.

Yer some guy , you can tell fans that don't have an internet connection !!!! The crowds aren't that small are they.(majority)
