  1. But he has no need to respond to that post because Dazzafl has already told everyone very early on he's Darren Fletcher, the one very close to Tai Woffinden who had a bet about wearing a suit for the British GP. Even copied in the Facebook post Keep up
  2. NL rider at No2 unfavourable tricky track conditions, great call to go again another time. Still not forgetting with a heat to go at the AFA the Lions got the meeting abandoned while getting thrashed. Maybe the management haven't forgotten
  3. Was it R/R for Simon do you know? Leicester had R/R for Starke last night so that smells a little funny
  4. Josh Bates withdrawn from his guest booking for the Stars Nathan Greaves comes in as a replacement at No'2
  5. Think it was established some time ago that it's Robert Homer This is what I can find regarding the glittering career 1989..Coventry (British League 2) 1989..Coventry..1m..4r..1p..0b..1.00ave (British League 1) 1991..Sheffield Cubs (Junior League) 1992..Sheffield..5m..18r..6p..2b..1.78 (British League 2) 1993..Sheffield..4m..12r..6p..1b..2.33 (British League 2) To find the World Champion?!?! he rode against you need to find the 1 Coventry fixture in 1989
  6. So, were do people think we're at in making the Play-Off's? Is the growth in optimism a false dawn? The remaining fixtures: Away: Poole x2 - All others once more Home: Poole x2 Swindon Wolverhampton Lakeside Looking at the remaining home fixtures there's still some potential home defeats on the cards and we're 6 points off a Play-Off spot
  7. The 1 thing that will make things tough for the Stars that were evident from Thursday night. Gating, our track offered a route to pass, Leicester's is less likely to do so. We are the stronger team by a mile but do let ourselves down with our gating often. 46-44 either way
  8. Round 1 (Vojens, Denmark) Russia (Red) 1 Grigori Laguta 2 Emil Sayfutdinov Poland (Blue) 2 Patryk Dudek 4 Bartosz Zmarzlik Czech Republic (White) 1 Josef Franc 4 Vaclav Milik Denmark (Yellow) 2 Leon Madsen 4 Niels-Kristian Iversen Round 2 (Vastervik, Sweden) Australia (Red) 3 Max Fricke 4 Jason Doyle USA (Blue) 1 Greg Hancock 2 Ryan Fisher Germany (White) 1 Kevin Wolbert 2 Kai Huckenbeck Sweden (Yellow) 1 Antonio Lindback 2 Fredrik Lindgren
  9. And it should have been worse for Leicester. The only shining lights were Wozniak (would love to see him in Stars colours) & Starke. Again thought Rose was brilliant tonight in the main body and it is nice to see Batchelor come to life. When he's up for it he's great to watch Play-Off charge is on
  10. Pretty sure that'll be a Redbull sponsored promo thing as they'd done it before, going up a mountain I think it was
  11. I've been told your team is right. I guess just wait until we rock up and it's announced
  12. Wilkinson will ride under his own team position / average in reserve as he's still a team member. Lewis Rose will move into the main team as his average is higher than Jakobsen's 1. Iversen 2. Rose 3. Schlein 4. Batchelor 5. Lambert 6. Jakobsen 7. Wilkinson
  13. Wilkinson isn't dropped by anyone, he remains a squad member. Lambert's average is higher than Rose's so counts towards the teams total. Because Rose has the lowest of the Tier 2 averages he's the rider effectively replacing Wilkinson Teams can choose either a squad member or guest for a injured EDR's and we've gone with a guest Nothing to see here
  14. Marmande is on the FIM calendar http://www.fim-live.com/en/sport/calendar/international-long-grass-track-racing-meetings/
  15. I think Poole have been dealt a harsh blow there. If there's a sick note for tonight, it's irrelevant if he rides tomorrow or not. It's about today
  16. In your opinion. I repeat, it's not Tai's job or any sports person / celebrity etc to be a role model. They're individual people like everyone else that have worked hard & earned the rights to extra privileges. If any child uses any form of celebrity as role models then the parents have failed. Tai's tattoo's, ears, face, shoes, fingernails, foul language etc have no barring on influencing youngsters. This is Speedway and it's his Speedway that does the talking, I have no doubt he'll be idolised by some but only for his Speedway because he's bloody good at it It's a very sad if he has to be prejudiced against because of his appearance. Those prejudices are no different to jibes given to over / under weight people. In fact, those prejudices are actually more offensive than the "Make some fookin noise" speech he made as he wasn't being derogatory to anyone.
  17. Was there sabotage, I'm not so sure as it just doesn't make sense for it to of happened to Iversen. Also, it wouldn't of been mistaken identity either as all the riders names are plastered around their pit areas so that doesn't add up. But for the purpose that some shenanigans has gone on, one of the questions is when it could of possibly happened. I'd say during the rider introductions with a few of the riders mechanics milling around the pit gate watching.
  18. Sounds like a very proud Brit to me http://monsterenergyswc.com/news/article/5028/swc/woffy-hails-cardiff-crowd
  19. Should be a thrashing, if we score anything less than 55 points it'll be disappointing
  20. The M.E.N. Manchester has the largest permanent seating capacity at around 19,500
  21. It seems Coventry fans missed the point & opportunity of last night. There's no better way of showing support than live on TV. As I's already said, it was a night to put aside how crap the team & management are but to support the stadium use. An opportunity to make a nuisance behind the Sky studio, invade the track to wave banners & flags etc. I'm sure the fans could of found £10 for the night and stuck their fingers up to the management for the rest of the season. The 'Save' campaign may as well just give up, a chance missed imo
  22. Serious head time: On any normal Sky meeting night I can fully understand why people don't go but tonight wasn't a normal night. It was highly promoted and not just by the club, as an ideal time to show support for the the stadium and the Bees to remain in front of live TV. Thoughts about the team, the management etc should have been put aside for 1 night but instead it came across as the Bees fans couldn't give a flying fig about their future. If any of the stadium owners, potential builders, council management etc were watching they'd be like "let's just get those houses built". Feel for the people running the 'Save' campaign tonight, a real kick in the teeth for their efforts. Pathetic
