Talking of trolls, here comes the main culprit. do you ever have anything positive to say other than troll? Don't ruin it AGAIN as per usual.

it's not a pointless argument because you have been caught out in a lie. So we can confirm I never said Cook is better than KK, just that I'd prefer Wolves signed Cook and not KK if there ever was a choice. Glad it's sorted and you have been shown up again. Sorry for the decent Aces fans that their thread has been taken over by Shovlar's none entity of a defence. Sorted and moved on, fingers crossed. We all know that. It's in the public domain what his defence is, he doesn't have one. Anyway again apologies to the sensible Aces fans for the interaction.

It seems so. Col just appears to be on the wind up most of the time.

As expected you pick one line to justify your point. Wrong. I have included the unaltered post as a reference. (edited to add the original post was edited at 1.08pm yesterday for spelling as is this post to add this comment).I'd pick Cook over KK everytime only because he gives 100 and KK rarely does and if you have ever watched KK at the green you would too and you would be foolish to suggest otherwise. As per usual you take one part of a discussion to formulate an opinion without reading all the evidence. So I await your apology for suggesting I said Cook is the better rider. feel free to use my post that you mentioned I apparently said that to correct me. It's quoted above as evidence. You have form for trying to stir and I can see no valid reason why you have taken one line of a post to mean one thing when the evidence tells you quite the opposite if that's not stirring of trolling for a reaction. Just to confirm as a Wolves fan id take Cook over KK everytime despite KK being the better rider. Feel free to correct me where I have said KK is the better rider and you will have your apology. In return I await mine if you can't find it.

We all know his game, yet calls others out for slating anything to do with Poole. He is even slating a team who have yet to name a rider. Sometimes you can't make this stuff up!

Quote me where I say he is better,here is a clue you won't find it. If you want to re-read my post without your blue tints on (virtually impossible for you to achieve I know) you will see its about as positive and constructive towards KK as I can be. Maybe you read one line that says they are comparable but if you bothered to read the post properly you wouldn't be as embarrassed as you are likely feeling now. Seems you are incapable of reading a post properly. Feel free to correct me.

There is no way enough riders to fill all the team spots for just one team if the leagues were ever to merge. Perish the thought if that were to happen.

Not in my opinion. They have done some excellent insightful interviews during the winter that have been extremely good reading all about the running of the sport, debates on engines with eminent people involved, some classic teams look backs and interviews. Although if you haven't read them then you have missed a treat.

But they probably will this year, can we worry about next year in 12 months time? It's always up for debate what might happen in any year. End. Of. Debate.

So we have to play back up to the main meeting?? At least we don't have to pay to watch the lodgers. Hopefully this is convenient for Wolves fans. I'm assuming 5pm start?

5 posts made and you have already sussed that. Good going for a 'new' poster.

Is anyone really saying Cook is as good as KK?That said of course they are comparable as both ride in the EL as heat leaders. The problem with KK is that he all to often rides at 70% so anyone that gives 100% is their equal when you look over a season long average. One on one KK is likely to win everytime but then, as you keep pointing out he is a former world number 2 so should be head and shoulders over a rider like Cook. However he isn't. Cook finished the year with a 7.37 whilst KK was 7.91. Head and shoulders above?? Above yes. Head and shoulders no. Just over half a point better isn't head and shoulders. KK has had one season at world class level when he finished number 2 in the world. Very much a one off as has never looked close to that in any other year. For me despite all the arguments and discussions about KK its what they both do at our top flight level that's the only thing that's it's important. And given their averages are just over half a point in separation in the most recent season we have had they are very much comparable. KK SHOULD be head and shoulders above a lot of riders but he isn't. KK is likely to be the higher averaged rider every season but you never know what you are going to get with him. At his spiritual home he should have a superb season. That said given the choice I'd have Cook 100 times out of 100 over the 2.

Haven't read SCB's piece on it but I'm sure there is a better and more accurate way of combining both. The BSPA have at least used the next fairest and transparent way which I applaud. As with every year there will be riders on averages that make them unattractive averages. Sadly Richie is one of them.

They would be using his PL average not his EL as his EL is irrelevant. He had a great PL season so that is as fair an average as there is to use.

And Leicester's entrance price against Man U last week?And there UEFA entry prices? That was a great incentive to get people to pay for entry no doubt. But similar to cheap or free entry to Speedway SKY matches that some clubs have done in the past. Football promotions are much more in tune with the needs of its supporters that's clear.

Corrected before? What are you on about as per usual. You have the quote to prove? ? Of course only the top few leagues throughout the country charge way more than speedway and as they are the most popular leagues isn't that the obvious comparison. You could take all leagues and do an attendance V cost analysis to come up with an average to suit that argument. That isn't the point im making. The bigger leagues in England and Scotland get the bigger attendances at much greater costs than speedway because people are happy to pay way more for that product. at wolves most weeks they have 6 extra races after the main match either MDL or regular junior open so that's 21 heats not 15.

True, we all get that football is the bench mark to judge virtually all others sports for cost and attendance. We know the product, in its purest form is up there with the most exciting sports around. No question. The rules and regulations are the things that make it circus like that I agree. I personally think it adds to the excitement but the rules and the (lack) of available riders makes putting together teams and leagues extremely difficult. We simply could not run 3 leagues with each rider in one league only. The lack of talent coming thru and lack of foreign riders riding here anymore makes this virtually impossible to avoid. So I understand why we have double ups and downs. Hard to explain to any none speedway fan I agree.

Are the questions different to the Belle Vue ones?

I'm amazed at the comment that none speedway people are flabbergasted at the price to attend. Yet I assume they are more than happy to pay nearly double to watch football!!!

Would that be Alex Edberg by any chance?

agree, he should be. exactly. Danny isn't the weakest at all. Eric is progressing slowly and nicely. Was hoping he would be at Wolves personally. He looked mightily impressive at Monmore at last year's press and practice.

Likely to be Auty who should do better than last season. Wouldn't call him a strong reserve tho as he wasn't last season.

Reading more into it as per usual. We get it, you rate Auty over Howarth , like you think Wolves have a poor side this year. You say it so often enough we all get the picture. That's the epitome of a persistent annoyance. Auty is number one in name only due to 6 others riders having a lower average than him in team's that have struggled at the base of the table in very recent seasons. Edited to add - surprised no Kylmakorpi or Sedgmen however a decent looking side with bags of potential. Lebedevs is an interesting one, if he can start to master British tracks he could play a big part in how successful the Lions are. Looking good!

So no chance of Coventry being in till late May at earliest.
