  1. I wouldn't get caught calling them that by a Forest fan! Nott'm the only abbreviation permitted
  2. I think Sheffield will be the team to beat IF they complete with Proctor & Poole and Sissis is as good as most people expect.
  3. Are Cook and Masters both likely to return? Like the look of those reserves, both could stick a couple of points on their figures once dialed in to Armadale.
  4. And the coat! Like something out of Grease
  5. Hmmmm these revelations put a different complexion on things. Would be nice to hear they other side of the story, and ultimately a statement from the governing body to clear the matter up one way or the other. ()
  6. Great side on paper with stacks of improvement in it, however Sheffield's likely team looks slightly better to me.
  7. Let's hope common sense prevails then as he is exactly the type of rider who doubling up should be for.
  8. Fair enough. I think inconsistency and moments of immaturity are often par for the course for young riders, but if I was a regular at a PL track I'd want to see talents like Lambert, Sissis, Holder, Kurtz etc as they put bums on the edge of seats.
  9. While I appreciate that some people will go to speedway to watch the racing come what may, I think it's understandable that the enthusiasm of others gets eroded by the rules and their application, non application and bending. For some a level playing field is essential in the first instance and I can understand why those people might stop going in its absence.
  10. Is that a joke? Unfortunately Bridger is one of the biggest wastes of talent I've seen in thirty years of watching speedway. Will never fulfill his potential now.
  11. Excellent news, riders like Clegg, Greaves etc need to be in the PL.
  12. Surely the race format will help a rider like Cook rather than hinder him? He gets to face and beat riders like Lindgren, AJ, Ward, Holder, Puk etc. The EL had many, many problems but it's s must for any developing Brit trying to be the best he can surely? Would be nice to have a proper discussion about this issue without people getting defensive
  13. Good value as in whether he can improve on it. Not sure he can personally but fair play to him if he proves me wrong. Not bashing Cook at all but as a GB fan I'd like to see him fulfill his potential, for me he still has improvement in him but won't ever realise it while riding in the PL. Look at how Jason Doyle blossomed this year. Would have him at Lynn like a shot, and hopefully he can secure contracts in Poland & Sweden too.
  14. Making sure they always ran on weeks when Lynn didn't would make it a worthwhile speculation IMO, you would get plenty of Lynn fans heading over to watch.
  15. If Peterborough signed Lambert and Kerr it could boost their crowds enormously.
  16. Surely Cook isn't going to spend another season in the PL? Not sure Sedgmen is particularly good value on 6.99 but time will tell.
  17. Hard to say until other teams have been named but that side doesn't look too special to me. However you can imagine home meetings being very entertaining as usual as there are some proper racers in there.
  18. Although it was only one season it could be argued that Darcy was the best ever, averaging over ten at sixteen years old and breaking track records on his first ever rides at away tracks.
  19. Clegg has at least got potential to improve a fair bit, Morris IMO won't do so and probably isn't too far off his level.
  20. The money would be on Lawson and Morris. Summers & Smith are unlikely to improve on their starting figures but as an engine room pairing they look pretty good.
  21. August is often wet and September often dry generally speaking. October is always a lottery. Makes sense to get things scheduled in earlier and leave four weeks in October 'just in case'.
