  1. Let's get one thing clear, and Buster had made note of it his press release. The rules for 2016 were cleared by the previous chairman and if he was in charge he would have dealt with the 2016 rules differently. He said in a radio interview that 2016 was a write off and is working on plans for 2017 already to get ahead of the game. So, in that respect, why would he come out and clarify a situation that was rubber stamped BEFORE he was chairman. Saying that, it has been abysmal that for the coming season we (his own clubs bread & butter supporter's) have been left in the dark.
  2. It's 'A meal' & which restaurant you going too?
  3. 1st option so red for me sir I agree with SL too, that if Iversen's GP series falls flat we should stand firm and just say thanks but no thanks. I don't want to see our club treated 2nd fiddle for someone earning extra pocket money.
  4. I prefer this forum to an individual club one simply because outside opinion can be added. To many people are a bit cliquey on club forums, you dare go against the grain and you'll know about it.
  5. I'd take Bjerre over Crump every day of the week. Crump's been out the game for 3 years, far too long to come back and be a No'1. Anyone that thinks otherwise is drinking too much alcohol. He'd be 3rd heatleader at best, absolutely no doubt about it. If he was our option it will just go to show what a story mess we're in.
  6. Crump wouldn't be good enough as a No'1. He'd probably be 3rd heatleader at best. He'd get bums on seats to start but wouldn't last for long. Saying that, he's better than what we've got now i.e. nobody at No'1.
  7. All depending on King's Lynn & Leicester's last signing at the moment it's gonna be a scrap for the wooden spoon. 1. Poole 2. Belle Vue 3. Swindon 4. Coventry 5. Lakeside 6. Wolves 7. King's Lynn / Leicester 8. Leicester / King's Lynn
  8. We've only 1 place to fill and it's now becoming critical, Batchelor is the least of our worries
  9. We had Joe Jacobs as our FTR last season and quit on us before a wheel was turned so I wouldn't say he's reliable either.
  10. Understand what you're saying but if I was a rider it would be 2 fingers to the British EL with no 2nd thought. Money pays the bills, don't p!ss off the Poles
  11. Jesus man, stop letting people get under ya skin. Just stop replying to their jibes and get back on thread. You can't call people "kids" then run of with ya ball. How does that look?
  12. I disagree, more than capable of averaging an 8 and especially double figures round the AFA. Me personally would negotiate his demands, see how it goes. If it isn't paying, release him. No loss, move on to the next one. Right now, he's the best option available.
  13. I seriously think we should just go with Zengota and be done with it. He's an improving rider and is committed to the British EL rather than some other half assed. He finished 22nd in the 2015 Ekstraliga average with a 6.73 average, the toughest league in the world. 5.81 in 2014. He also rode 31 matches for Swindon averaging 6.71 last season. With his last 20 matches counting towards his 2016 average of 7.79 again shows he's improved. We get let down if we go down any other route now imo
  14. Just to share, Simon Lambert EL average for last season was an impressive 2.87 from 20 matches for Leicester Lions. I do feel the No'1 will need to knock in maximums week in week out to keep us in meetings as the reserves will get pummelled
  15. Bringing in Iversen doesn't fix anything though. It will just make thing worse after his little practice sessions with us. If we've exhausted all other avenues then we'll just have to accept Kenneth Bjerre and us fans and the management will have to deal with the consequences
  16. 1. Emil Sayfutdinov 8.00 2. Robert Lambert 6.59 3. Przemyslaw Pawlicki 5.75 4. A 5 point untried foreigner 5.00 5. Tai Woffinden 7.03 6. Jason Garrity 5.08 7. Adam Roynon 3.00 Ave: 40.45
  17. I disagree. The calibre of rider's that would be on show would be very attractive anywhere in the UK as these rider's would be a novelty. Anywhere else in Europe it would be a flop.
  18. A bit harsh. Pricing structure of this event is a genuine and major factor for this to work. You may be a multi millionaire and ain't bothered, but for most in the real world finances have to be considered. Anything over £30 for both days will have to be putting the future of the 2 day event at risk.
  19. People seem to keep saying that the pricing has to be right without giving their own opinion of what that would be. IMO anything over £30 for adult admission for both days would see the event a massive flop as the promoter's need to take the price of overnight stays into consideration.
  20. Iversen would mean a change to the 4 riders already selected. Even if our 2 reserves were 3 pointers, Iversen takes us 0.17 over the limit To make that change for a rider who'll come in for just a Month would be totally and utterly ridiculous. Iversen is now a loss, get use to it.
  21. Speedway on TV? That's just a pipe dream! Well it is for me anyway, no chance am I subscribing to either Sky or BT ever again seeing as speedway is the only sport I'd watch. Just can't be justified for me
  22. Think scoobs is right. Seem to remember that all SWC selected rider's aren't allowed to race in other events from the day the SWC starts so could rule King & Lambert out.
  23. What's Coventry got to do with it? If Leicester want to race Friday's they will, whether Coventry like it or not.
  24. Although it doesn't make much difference as you have plenty of spare points but how did Porsing's average become so low? 7.83 is what I make it
