  1. The most significant difference between King's Lynn & Peterborough for Buster is clear. The lengthy track grades are to do with food & drink takings, to which he doesn't receive at the Showground.
  2. I get people's moaning, especially at £20 a pop but in all truthness, there's never been a Testimonial in any sport that's generally 'Top Draw'. It's about the rider & blowing out cobwebs. If you want decent racing, don't do Testimonials.
  3. It's the snowflakes that want Laguta & Sayfutdinov to remain. Now having both in the series could become dangerous for the other competitor's (in all sports) as assassinations from Spies could happen. Any Russian against the Russian operations are being required by Nationalist's to get called out & are being "dealt with" accordingly.
  4. Of course but they would have taken on a new asset list since Buster's ownership surely. Buster has a good business brain & there's absolutely no way he'd of taken on a club with no assets to fall back on. He knew from the start that the stadium was at risk, so he must have something to gain if the club folds??
  5. Good bit of business by Buster as he'd just move all assets to King's Lynn's books
  6. I think Iversen will end up staying the full season & Kildemand replacing someone else. There's always rider's getting banged up at the start of the year. I have to say, Iversen's name on the teams sheet looks good, like a team that could seriously challenge that Sheffield team in 2022. Keep him fit, on form & he stays, title challenge IS ON
  7. 100% Artem & Emil are merely suspended so their current status is they remain part of the 2022 series. The situation is no different to an injured rider where the GP reserves just flit in & out.
  8. Nope, first season in many years I can't be a$$ed. I took the comments as 4-3-2-0 every heat
  9. Disagree. Teams can hugely benefit from strength in depth as this scoring system only benefits scoring in the minor spots. As an example, Doyle can score a 20 point maximum but the team loses every heat 25-20. For a team, during the regular heats (example) vs Doyle, if you don't make the starts just don't finish last. Then you gain huge benefits from a strong No3 & 4. Arguments for every scenario but definitely, under a 4-3-2-0 system the high averaged No1 & 5 become less important to a result. Simply proven by GB winning the SON last year. I'll always argue that the best scoring system possible will always be 4-2-1-0 if you don't want drawn meetings, winning races should always end in a team advantage, never 2nd & 3rd.
  10. Jet2Holidays have confirmed that flight's from the UK direct to Poland have been suspended due to War in Ukraine. Other companies are in consultation about their future plans too. So, what would this mean for rider's, especially for those racing Thursday's & have to be back to Poland on the Friday for Ekstraliga Training / meeting & SGP's?? Thing's could get very messy for the Premiership so so close to season starting.
  11. It was the last tournament for these Russian athletes before the War suspension kicked in. I suspect that's why he did it.
  12. Putin doesn't give tqo hoots about NATO. He'll do as he wants, if anyone else gets involved, be ready for the consequences. While we & our leaders have a conscience of the dangers of Nuclear Weapons, Putin does not. Anyway, that's not for here.
  13. This is why all Russian athletes should be suspended without question. Gymnast on the podium yesterday (alongside a Ukrainian)
  14. Another one that doesn't get it. Thankfully, as of today HaasF1 have terminate Mazepin's contract. All sports are slowly catching up
  15. What? I was simply saying Lebedev is a crap rider
  16. Do you mean a rider like Lebedev or actually Lebedev. To be honest, if you get him, he will be proper sheet
  17. Simply because they're Russian. Some will see it unjust but all Russian athletes should not be allowed to compete internationally. Many other sports are sanctioning Russian athlete's, why on earth should Speedway be different?? Ukrainian's are being illegally killed by a Russian invasion. If Russian people really didn't agree with the war here's something to think about, their armed forces can refuse to drop bombs, fire rockets, shoot their guns but no, they continue at great speed. Sanctions have to be implemented & being Russian is just that imo, regardless of who they are.
  18. I initially praised Emil for his Tweet on social media but having thought about it there are 2 clear questions (Laguta too). 1. Is it a genuine message from the heart, or is it just a personal attempt to remain employed? 2. Or, have their Polish clubs put pressure on to remain employed that they 'MUST' show clear disdain to war?
