  1. Don't like to distrust Kenneth but seems likely we'll suffer in heats 13 & 15. Gonna be tight.
  2. Worrall could well be a stronger option than Lewis.
  3. The Lambert at Peterborough one is similar, they seem to be protecting his average too but Hansen has been absent through fixture clashes and Worky have been punished by using a three pointer. However if Magic rides in Sweden tomorrow that makes this one even worse. It won't happen as our governing body is too weak but as Star Lady says forcing riders to sit out for a period of time as a result of injury and altering their average accordingly when they miss matches at certain tracks might weed out those taking the Michael.
  4. So he's on the kind of contract which allows him to pick and choose his meetings in order to massage his average then? Marvellous.
  5. Agreed Henners, long overdue. Let clubs declare 10-12 riders and then they can please themselves.
  6. Doesn't really matter which clubs are involved though does it, it needs sorting out. This case appears to stand out because it seems the sicknote may have been issued before he rode yesterday. I'm sure its only a coincidence that Poole seem to be involved in 90% of British speedway's controversy but as Star Lady says eventually so many people will have walked away that there won't be enough left for the sport to function.
  7. On the contrary, they can all ride Wolves. They can all ride Kirky Lane too and look what happened there. We may well have won last time but my point was its not a great hunting ground, look back through the records and see for yourself. Today is a new day so anything could happen, but considering Wolves' home form and Lynn's away form it won't be the massive shock being suggested should Wolves win this evening.
  8. Can't believe you are thinking of travelling all that way with the weather so dodgy! You are officially mental although I take my hat off to you for your dedication
  9. Should have a field day, but may not as they are so inconsistent. And riding against a team undefeated at home who, even without their number one, are full of Monmore specialists. And Lynn very, very rarely win there. So could go either way.
  10. Predictable result but good to see Kerr and especially Worrall taking heat leader roles in their stride and an all British PL heat 2.
  11. Magic has form for this doesn't he? I'm sure he has ridden in Poland on Sunday and Sweden on Tuesday before while of course being 'injured' for his Monday evening EL commitments. Come on you Aces.
  12. A world class number one who is struggling for form! You are doing your own team members a disservice if you think that at least one of them can't/won't beat him. He may well go through the card but the chances are on current form that he won't. As SCB says he's not had a good year so far. Wells, Thorsell, King, PK, Blackbird & Bates could all outscore their opposite numbers but they may not......the whole point is that it's very much in the balance, an injury hit side against a highly inconsistent one. Could go either way.
  13. Why should Puk go through the card? He was average last Wednesday and last night in the GP, no reason at all why PK for example shouldn't beat him. If Lynn ride as they did at Belle Vue the other week then you (stevebrum) could ride at number one and Wolves would still win. We have seen teams be poor early in the season and lose matches they really shouldn't yet be highly competitive come the PO's so it won't mean an awful lot if we lose, apart from perhaps make any team changes happen a little quicker
  14. Love your sweeping statements stevebrum our team can go from crap to superb in the blink of an eye, really should be looking to win this but we are so inconsistent Wolves could quite easily win comfortably, and whatever the result I don't see too much of an indicator of what might happen in September's KO competition. Prediction 45-45
  15. Haven't met superguest before so would have been nice to say hello, didn't know you were there or would have sought you out!
  16. I'll be very surprised if this is anything other than a comfortable home win.
  17. I expect commitments in other countries would rule out the PL for Niklas but it would do him a lot of good IMO. Not sure he is the answer for Sheffield in place of Stead though gate.
  18. Someone mentioned that Lambert looked rough at Lynn last night, apparently he went into the medical room after his last ride and of course missed our on a deserved heat 15 appearance. Frustrating though as Sheffield should be right up his street.
  19. Yep I'm sure if it was the same incident at Armadale with Bates having one of your reserves off your opinion would be no different
  20. The fish and chips are awesome. Can see an away win here, hopefully to add to a defeat for Adz's other team Saturday lunchtime
