You can't use Aussies and Poles for major success over very recent years and then say all clubs should ditch them all.Hypocrisy of the highest order. We should have done more to help the Brits 10 years ago but clubs like Poole were only too happy to use the next sensation on a 4 point average for years and ignore the next generation of Brits. It's admirable you recognise this now but Poole of all clubs have ignored Brits largely for years. Newman is probably the only British success (establishing at top flight level) Poole have helped. Howarth was shoved from pillar to post for several years whilst Ellis had been developed by others before he made progress with Poole last year.

I don't think there is a clearer rule, it doesn't need 'specifics'. Riders aren't allowed on the centre green on their bike under power or not prior to the start of a race. End of. There is nothing clearer than that. I always thought you had to be under power and on the track ready to race by the 2 minute rule?

Danyon Hume is already better than Greaves. Although he already rides for Birmingham and Ipswich so availability may be an issue.

How many then? not that many I'd imagine.

a victory is a victory. It's careless to have 2 riders fall in the same race. There is no luck involved. What rule? The one where riders aren't allowed to ride on or across the centre green?? EVERY rider knows it. It's inept to have a manager who doesn't make the right decisions and riders who don't follow rules. Leicester were the better team but didn't win. That's their fault. That said Wolves team management have a lot to consider right now.

I've already given my 'slant', guess you need to read posts properly. Good to see nothing changes.

Best read Col's posts before you quote him so you don't look silly. Col thinks wolves will make the okay offs. His only issue is that wolves should have signed Klindt despite being told 100 times he didn't want to. Perhaps it might teach you to read someone's post before you quote them. read those below and tell me how he is 'on the money'. http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=83467&p=2932014 http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=82885&p=2935019

And the figures quoted are similar to the ones you used. So I fail to see your point.

A lucky win in the end. How long do we persevere with the reserves who are both clearly struggling? Already said Leicester are the dark horses of the league this year so no surprise on this performance.

Official figures. 7.58 in 2014 not 7.48. Your 2012 figure is wrong too.

It's getting a balance that might work better, but it's not as easy as it sounds tho.

Not an improvement IMHO. Williamson is not even better than Clegg. Just goes to show how difficult it will be.

Yes I agree if you look at it like that. Assuming there are 2 better signings out there of course that are committed to a full season. Greaves was always going to be a weak link and pretty much out his depth.(great gate in heat 4 at Leicester to hold 2nd for a lap). Clegg is needed to kick on for this line up to work - and that's assuming the top 5 are doing their job. I really thought Clegg had turned a corner at the tail end of last season.

Skornicki did his job on Saturday tho.

I agree. Was hoping we would have signed him. Huge talent IMHO.

8.33 with BP in 2012. 7.58 in 2014.

Unfortunately there is no telling Col. No doubt he will bring it up yet again.

I'm always happy to have someone step in when I'm not available so anyone else would be a huge bonus.

That's great thanks. I've sent you a PM.

My inbox is probably full. I will clear it. Just spoken to Sue who runs the updates site but they are sorted for tonight but could you do it next week for the Coventry match?

PW if you private me your mobile number I will pass it on. Or if Sue is reading she can advise. Basically you just text the heat results to a number that's provided to you. Pretty simple.

Yes a one off performance that I alluded too. Besides 2011 only 2013 was a good overall season for Troy. Both years are 'several' away from 2017.

That breakthru was several seasons before the Darcy crash. He had been in decline for many a season before that.

Will be close mark my words! Hopefully someone will step up to provide updates to the excellent updates site. Gonna miss the next 2 home matches. 48-42.

Exactly. He had one season where he seemed to have made that breakthru but it was very much a one off, beside the odd decent meeting here and there.
