Poole Pirates Vs Redcar Bears June 11th
Bagpuss replied to Shaleshifter's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
But you don't get to see Holders, Kvech, Fricke, Doyle, Emil, Woffy, Bewley, Kurtz, Magic, Museilak, Zagar etc etc. And two extra teams doesn't make for 'much more fixture variety'. Plus I'd question if Championship really is 'much more competitve', really not sure it is at all. I just feel its a real shame that one of the most successful and well supported sides in the country won't strive to be the best they can be and ride at the highest level. It's all a bit safe. -
You've been on the forum long enough to appreciate that discussions develop on various threads.

He lives in Poland, is married to a Polish girl and only wants to do two leagues so no surprise he doesn't ride here. Nicholls and Bewley have also ducked the UK in the past, maybe it says more about British Speedway than the riders themselves.

Extraleague Round 12 Fri/Sun 18th/20th July
Bagpuss replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
He's the best ever IMO, a freak of nature. Miles better than anyone else at the moment. But that doesn't mean he can't/shouldn't be criticised if he has put the bike down and got away with it. -
Extraleague Round 12 Fri/Sun 18th/20th July
Bagpuss replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
Personally I think we need a few more honest interviews and a bit more needle between riders, makes it more entertaining. It can all be a bit nice in speedway nowadays, especially with BZ, riders seem to almost move over and let him past in the GP's. -
Very different league that season though, several bigger names ride over here now.

I would always rather go with a guest rather than R/R (R/R should be compulsory unless it's your number one or its being used already IMO but that's another debate) as it takes a lot of the risk out of it. Particularly when it's fir the fifth in the averages; yes Kvech taking three rides would be stronger in all probability but it doesn't leave much flexibility for his rides and Rob's options, and if anything happened to Jan in heat 2 we would be absolutely screwed.

Glasgow Tigers Vs Poole Pirates 6/6/25
Bagpuss replied to Shaleshifter's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I'd probably be more concerned by what your bottom three scored this evening. -

I think Poole could dominate at reserve in this which would put the result in the balance. -
Edinburgh v Oxford Championship Friday 6th June 7.30pm
Bagpuss replied to eide67's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I don't think riding in SGP/SGP2 qualifiers is taking the P out of British speedway. It's up to British speedway to schedule its fixtures better.
