You're right, and by no means impressed so far either, with 2 rider's announced that should have been nowhere near being the 7. It's been made clear after the supporters meeting last night as to why Jorgensen been recalled. With Dale becoming part of Jorgensen's 'team' it makes his selection a little to friendly for my liking, not for the benefit of King's Lynn
-
That's my point. It is no way proven to be a bigger money spinner than any other GP. It's a myth.

Discovery will be utilising the team running the SEC series are they not? They are 'the Poles' I was referring to. Discovery are far more shrewd with their overheads. They'll never spend a penny more then they want. With all the sports they have rights to they operate at the bare minimum required
-
I think Cardiff will be removed from the calendar from 2022. The Poles won't be interested in the initial pay out required, regards the profits from Cardiff, does anyone really know compared to Warsaw and other GP's.

Certainly something I and others had suggested many years ago. I'd like it taken further though that season tickets allow all holders to other tracks for £10 admission regardless, across the top 2 divisions. For local derbies it could generate superb atmospheres of years gone by once again -

It's not moaning for the sake of it. It's passionate opinion about something we find so important in our lives. It's a part of who we are. If people didn't care this would be a very dead forum for a start -

Many have rumoured the same regards Pedersen but has yet to be confirmed that is the case. Although Pedersen isn't in the GP's he is in the SEC, attempting to requalify for the GP's and doing Germany so should be just as busy as Iversen. -
Regardless, 100 flat building will take the whole car park as the space legally has to allocate a single parking space per flat.
-
The more you dig into this story I think false hope is being played here. 100 homes on the only car park? Really?
-
That is good news, and regardless of the figure's in losses the council trust these owners to finally get it right. Whether it takes 2 or 20 years the council are showing their faith. Just wish every council up and down the country would do the same hey

Iversen wasn't great in 2018, generally left behind in heat 1 most matches. When it mattered though, both he and Lambert were deadly in heats 13-15. Those heats alone created 8 point swings in a meeting being the difference that year until Iversen's injury. -
Is one bad year to get Douglas, Becker, Nicol, Morris to further adapt their skills home and away. It could be that the management are looking short term pain, long term gain. Trying to build a spin in the team for the next 5 years or so is no bad tactic. If the Americans live up to their obvious potential they could (and I think will) be the next Hamill & Hancock. I believe the management won't give up on 2020 but I'd certainly allow to give them a bit of a break and look to 2021 and beyond. One thing the Wolverhampton management are good at and that's longevity of rider's and seeing beyond the current season with building teams. Poole were a force with their future relient on Ward & Holder. Swindon are a force when they have Doyle & Batchelor in the same team generally regardless of who else is in the team. I think Wolves are pinning their hopes on very similar coming to fruition, there's no shame in that. Enjoy watching "The American Assassin's" at work.

For that to be the case there'll be no Cook or Riss and an abysmal 3rd Heatleader -

If it's Iversen it's a massive kick in the plumbs for King's Lynn more than anyone. Recent history has shown that when available for a full season King's Lynn is his choice. Having said that, I think some crossed words happened at the end of the 2018 season at King's Lynn during the Play-Off's and Niels hasn't forgive nd or forgot. -

Lambert & Proctor are excellent signings almost certs to add to their current averages. Kerr & Jorgensen I can't say or see the same. Hopefully the club have managed to find a 'ringer' from somewhere to go with Riss & Cook. 1. Lambert 7.61 2. Kerr 5.43 3. Riss 6.61 4. Jorgensen 5.90 5. Cook 7.59 6.(Pickering 4.36) ??? 4.93 7. Proctor 4.43 As a 1-7 it looks awfully weak imo. -
He doesn't cut it as a replacement on those 3 does he That's my point, Belle Vue are more likely to be able to find suitable replacements while any lose of Swindon's top 3 will be catastrophic.
-
Must still have his Championship head on. Swindon are clear clear favourites. What goes in Belle Vue's favour is a replacement for injuries would be easier to find than a replacement for Doyle, Batchelor and Jensen. Swindon would be extremely lucky if they remain injury free from one of those three
-
That's a shame as I believe it's the only way Speedway would have longevity at Oxford. Unfortunately, animal rights are very close to getting dog racing banned in this country. Speedway needs to be in with motorsports to continue strongly imo. Now the Speedway has been gone for some time in Oxford I do feel they'll now face a huge issue with noise pollution issues from residents. Especially new residents that have no known history of the sport at the stadium.
-
If it was my money, I'd add exactly that but bin the greyhounds and make the track bigger and wider
-
Maybe, just maybe, the reason for being 2 points under is that riders can up their averages significantly. Then come about August, for Play-Off's introduce Woffinden, Lindgren, Hancock etc for a final Play-Off push. It could be a bit of clever manipulation from the management knowing, when you look at Swindon for example, there's no significant improvement available in Doyle, Batchelor and Jensen. There's risks to the logic but the fact that Peterborough, King's Lynn and Ipswich are unlikely to trouble a top 2 of Swindon & Sheffield. It's about staying in touching distance of the top 4, then bang in some killer changes just as the European season starts to wind down. Quite possibly, an awesome plan is in the making from CVS and Adams.

The only person to enjoy those toilets was SCB. He's used to the smell and got some images to take home and enjoy too
-
So, how will Masters & Thorsell be feeling about returning? A case of "you're not what we wanted in the team but you'll do for now." If I was those two, with the commitment they've given Wolves, I'd tell the club to fook right off. Peterborough, Ipswich and /or King's Lynn would be very pleased to have one or both of those in their team.

Is it? Who are they advertising too? The already converted? What is it they're selling? They can release to the press daily but nobody can do anything. Speedway won't get going until April so effectively, up to now are advertising a useless product.
