  1. Let's hope those line ups stay the same until 7:45 tomorrow night.
  2. Wow. Nope, but you needed somebody with Fricke's kind of scoring power with an average that fitted once he sustained his injuries. Guests or R/R wouldn't have cut it.
  3. In my experience the mirroring is always jumpy and not very smooth, is this dependant on WiFi, phone and TV quality?
  4. Me and Little Miss Abbs are planning on coming but depends on the weather and her frame of mind as well as the line ups
  5. I expect what BB is referring to is that Robert would have been on a considerable guarantee and was essentially brought in to help win the Play Offs which he did. So no surprise if he's not at Lynn tomorrow, but I hope he is as he's the reason I (and I suspect many others) will go or not.
  6. Met Office definitely more accurate but personally I wouldn't be taking too much notice of any forecasts four or five days ahead, very likely they will change more than once by Thurs/Fri.
  7. No disrespect to him but he is the kind of dross that would be employed as a number seven if Rising Stars were dispensed with.
  8. Things don't dry this time of year, that's nature. Absolute insanity to be staging finals in October. Will we never learn.
  9. Confirmed where? Links are always appreciated.
  10. Course it is, they have beaten Glasgow in the Play Offs last year and this and have generally been the benchmark for other sides since dropping down. So not really weird.
  11. This competition was in trouble as soon as they decided to have three finals not one.
  12. They seem to live in your head rent free though.
  13. Not necessarily that, just the ability to organise fixtures properly, overhaul the way the league is run and marketed, write a clear rulebook. Pretty basic stuff that the current incumbents struggle with.
  14. They've built their league into what it is now whereas we've done the opposite and run ours down. Maybe they do have less restrictions but there is so, so much more that could be done with British speedway. Just need to find the right person or people to rip it up and start again.
  15. Fair play to Leicester for potentially giving up the second leg at home, one wonders if the same would happen t'other way round.
  16. For the people who can just rock up on a race night however infrequent they are and just enjoy the racing and not worry about anything else that's great, and in a way I envy them. But there are plenty of others (many of whom I expect have walked away) who ned there to be integrity, rules to be written and followed properly, for there to be a regular, almost habit forming fixture list; for there to be no guests, for the promoters to at least appear that they give a toss. The most important people of all are those who pay to get into a speedway or pay for a stream, without them speedway doesn't happen and riders don't have a career here. It's about time those who need integrity and a well run sport were given what they want, the other lot will turn up and enjoy it regardless. There can be a lot of negativity on here I grant you, but it's because people care and get frustrated by the garbage administration of it all. Its very difficult not to look at Poland and be envious.
  17. Crazy league. Coventry bottom with five defeats and Blackburn top with seven!
