  1. I switched to the TV and old Kelv Bingo was back - phew! I was on the iPad earlier and it just switched - will check that for next time thanks!!
  2. Probably none having seen the other matches but watching 60-30 or 55-35 isn’t great for the neutrals -
  3. Ok this is odd the discovery+ commentary has switched to either Swedish or Danish
  4. Usual - I was in the pub and a bloke said type stuff - spent all winter filtering the truth from the erm well non truths
  5. was wondering if they might switch to a more even match but it looks like three routine / comfortable home wins form the matches today
  6. Doyle is for sure on a mid of season slump (although he did get 14 at Foxhall on Thursday) - I reckon 55-35 is about the best the Witches can get - that means 12+ each for Doyle and Emil and a few more from the rest. I will be tuning in as the NSS usually provides from decent races.
  7. Not forgetting a match winners score at Wolves last season too. He simply isn’t fit / recovered whatever it is that’s wrong!
  8. Would have been hobsons choice for you anyway given your opinion of Batch
  9. Been thinking the same for a while - over riding all night dan showed how to do it bide your time and take your chance when it presents itself
  10. He had a good start 3,2 then after the rain couldn’t gate and seemed to lose ground badly getting 1,0 - if ever there was a meeting of two halves - that was it. He was twice beaten in 1-5s by Tom Brennan and his race partner - I am sure Danny would be the first to admit he should have been better placed in those races. on a brighter note the wetter conditions really seemed to suit Dan Thompson and was great to see him get some points regardless of how you see his inclusion in the side!
  11. Cook had stated himself that he was disinclined to make long distance travel to ride at a loss earnings wise - no idea if that related to Ipswich, probably not - but it implies he has been approached by someone to ride for them in the PL at some point.
  12. a club might pay it to get them racing for them! Seem to recall it was a Mexican standoff like this that kept Michael Lee away for so long before he made a comeback in the early 90s - it was Kings Lynn
  13. Given I wtach most of my speedway at Foxhall - the weather is generally very good in summer there and its the first time in ages I have seen riders filled in and covered with shale!
  14. If your mind boggles at that maybe you ain't as clever as you think you are - seriously how many people do you think would seriously have the time committment and dedication to do the job!?
  15. no disgareement from me there! I said to a couple of guys sat behind me how I was dreading heats 12 and 14 as based on how the night was going that was the weak spot! People were also a bit too confident about Emil and Doyle getting another 5-1 in heat 15 after they had done in 13 - as it was Kurtz the little rotter leapt out of the gate and stayed in front!
  16. Unless they have changed it - it says 'refused to comply with the testing procedure' which could mean a number of things!
  17. I think more was needed from King and Danyon tonight - Erik needs to be dropped as he clearly isn’t race fit / mixing it!
  18. Aye - me to add a Sheffield home defeat in - I am an away fan for hire!!
  19. Last time he raced at Foxhall with Charles Wright they had a disagreement seems much better tonight he is good tho -
  20. Shane Parker another great chap - used to enjoy watching him ride and was delighted when he signed for Sheffield - he always rode well there!
  21. Ah ok - thankyou! Shame he was a decent rider from memory
  22. Well you are effectively saying I don’t expect to pass it I would say! it’s a bit of a gamble really out of 14 riders they pick 4 - that’s over a 25% chance you will be picked! Silly! I remember Danny Bird promising rider did we ever see him again after failing one of these?
  23. Well like me you can go for the hat trick - I seem to guarantee an away win this season!
