  1. Can not disagree with any of that. We've not hit 40 points in any way meetings so far this season and had Swindon had their own heatleaders we'd love been beaten at home. I've a complete lack of confidence for Wednesday against a strong Coventry side
  2. Think it's shown with tonight's sky meeting that Belle Vue got their required points early on and fell asleep, almost allowing King's Lynn back in to a point.
  3. It has been confirmed by Marc Gent that a Stars top was issued but he refused to wear it. I'd guess it would have something to do with the fact the meeting was in Poland so he couldn't afford to cover his sponsors maybe? Cant blame him for that.
  4. Just read the regulations for SWC and it is 100% based on nationality and not the licence
  5. He represented GB last year at u21 level, what's the difference?
  6. Although I still don't agree with the principles of this competition I'm proud of how we performed. Certainly didn't disgrace ourselves against sides that were supposed to be far superior. The only let down (not for the 1st time this season either) was Bjerre. A supposedly world class rider was horrendous. Completely lost any competitive bottle. Robert Lambert, genuine British star on the rise. Has to be in the World Cup. To go to Poland up against that class of rider for the 1st time was absolutely sensational
  7. I believe the reserve rule is 2 years max anyway so these guys have to cut it or be thrown on the EL scrap heap.
  8. Lambert has to be in GB team without fail. No excuse to leave him out now
  9. There was just 1 racing line all night. Not quite FTG but certainly almost all races after lap 1 was follow the leader. Nick Morris and Robert Lambert were the only 2 to really provide anything that resembles racing.
  10. Emil has withdrawn from the Vetlanda team. No idea on the replacement
  11. Sh!+ meeting I thought. Crowd was very good again though. Very very impressed with Nick Morris Just to add, with our form tonight we'd have been beaten imo had Kildermand & Batchelor been available for Swindon
  12. calm ya skinz ol' boy. Things move on, can't expect people to chuck on showaddywaddy just for your liking & exclude da yoovs speedway is so desperate to encourage
  13. Does ride for Ostrovia in Poland but are all your home meetings Sunday's??? A 7.95 PL average he would be given
  14. It seems Peterborough are between a rock and a hard place in replacing Allen. If a riders doesn't already have a PL average the Premier League can't bring in an EL rider who's EL average is over 6. Seems daft to me In the same token though, another Stars rider who could do with the extra racing (Nicklas Porsing) could be a decent replacement and is living over here so could make things a little easier???
  15. Easy, Danny scores a 15 point max and Lynn win by a point. Sorted
  16. I can't understand why Nicholls keeps getting mentioned, he ain't interested
  17. It's not about excitement, it's about development and our youngsters are not going to get it from the BSPA as a whole. That responsibility has been left with the GB manager to manage With regards to Kennett and Lawson, trick track averages do nothing for international competitions and King just isn't up to it. Time to move on
  18. I use to be of the same opinion but I think we really need to push on with youth and that means using them at every level. The problem with test matches we've had over here in recent years is the opposition isn't of the highest calibre so our young guys don't know what they need to change to be the best or better. The BSPA are not a GB friendly association and there's no future in using 30 something rider's every year. The Stead's, King's and even Lawson who is 29 offers no international future. I've got my fingers crossed Rosco will give us something different along the lines of what Rob Lyon wanted to achieve and not the same old clap trap Midlo dished us up in his tenure
  19. Based on giving experience to an up and coming rider that's doing well in the Elite League. Premier League form is irrelevant when looking at playing international cards.
  20. One things for certain, no EL fast track rider should be anywhere near the squad. There's a reason they're in those positions I.e. they're nowhere near ready. For me the main picks would be: Woffinden Harris Lambert Howarth Squad fill in's: Stead Cook Lawson
  21. I think that's more like it and as to why Leicester keeps the Saturday race day. Quite often away teams were with guests at Eastbourne too. Ok, Leicester's crowds are decent now but it won't take long before people get fed up
  22. Well, considering the standard of our last 2 meeting tonight was brilliant. Close racing, plenty of passing and no tractor racing. I believe the racing was hugely improved due to the fact the track was left which allowed it to develop different racing lines. Mr Buster Chapman, more of that please
