  1. If we get last night's Holder and Batchelor and last night's super trapping Lambert we can make a fight of this league campaign. We've got the same issues as previous seasons in that the rider's don't seem to click all at the same time. That's what's working for Wolves and Belle Vue at the moment, their top 5 are on it. Man for man though, there's not much in it between them and us, we're waiting for the click
  2. As for last night, the racing wasn't great but that really didn't matter to us in the crowd. It's strange that once there's a proper atmosphere around, when the team perform like that the racing is secondary. Had it been a league meeting everyone would of moaned, especially me. Feel for the TV viewers but last night was absolutely bloody brilliantly awesome.
  3. Doyle is the top Aussie now, he's absolutely dedicated to British Speedway
  4. Should imagine it's Kurtz moving up and Jack Holder as U21 reserve?
  5. I suppose 50p is alright for 15 seconds of action
  6. His injury was nothing to do with how that crash panned out. A typical first bend incident with a s#!+ outcome
  7. Think the Poles backed it due to it being a Polish promotion behind it but after a few seasons and the top top riders giving it a wide birth the fans are doing the same
  8. I think if all teams were equal I still wouldn't expect much entertainment I'm hoping GB put the gloves on and give the whinging Aussies a bashing
  9. The racing is still ok but I'm not enjoying it after the Klindt crash
  10. Yep, some good racing but these riders really ain't anywhere near the caliber of the SGP boys are they
  11. Surprised by Perks release, he hasn't done much wrong has he?!?!?
  12. Would you take Ellis Perks for Gappmaier as he's just been released from Rye House?!?
  13. Correct, GB all the way. It's the World Cup, back your Country not your club riders
  14. Maybe with regards to Fricke's priority It may just be that his equipment abroad has to be up there with the best of the best to be competitive and keep his place. In the UK, he may be just bolting together some crap found in the back of the shed to remain competitive. Abroad, you have to be a good gater and fast. With most UK tracks you just need to be a good gater.
  15. Agree Just because you don't like someone, as a manager you should be strong enough to put that to one side and pick the best available. It's the same with everything in life. If Woffinden says he's available then he has to be in.
  16. For me, not a lot but just to try and race off the white line. Doesn't matter if he scores 3 or 13 but by now he should have developed a bit of knowhow round the Showground at least.
  17. It's a very fair reflection, it's showing the rider is starting to suffer a lack of confidence and is getting desperate at a level he should be finding easier. I've only seen Bacon twice at the EoES and he doesn't offer much. Peterborough are at that point in the season where it's not mathematically all over but it's very close to be over realistically. Peterborough nees to win all the remaining home fixrures and pick up points away. For me, Carr will better Bacon but the issue may be that Carr gets a new average with a couple of meetings and then can't replace Bacon anyway.
  18. I'm not Robert's biggest fan and I don't think he'll be one of the world's greats some big him up to be. I've said it many times, he's just a carbon copy of Chris Harris. One thing that can't be questioned though is his willingness, commitment and desire to race for King's Lynn. There's so many possible reasons why he didn't ride Monday but 'can't be bothered' isn't one of them.
  19. Ford is likely to come out with the usual promoters response "I pay your wages, get on with it" no doubt.
  20. 4 from 4 for Lambert tonight, all the points from 2nd places coming in the reserve races. I'd say it's a worry for Saturday.
  21. Strangely, I have my ticket but still waiting for 2 child tickets to come
