  1. I was thinking more along the lines of flying them in and out of the UK. I'll go with what you say though as you know a lot more about the ins and outs of speedway promotion than me I'd imagine.
  2. I can't imagine the Poles came cheap however poor they were.
  3. I don't really see what relevance a short spell twelve years ago in a different league on a different shaped track has I don't think you'll sign Tom because he is past his best and not really good value on his current average. Thats all that matters really.
  4. We won't produce a Holder, Ward or Heeps over here until we get regular, structured and organised speedway racing and training for kids long before they are old enough to ride NL. Phil Morris are working their backsides off with the limited infrastructure they have but until the authorities invest we'll be behind the likes of Poland, Aus, Sweden and Denmark.
  5. Ignore the word painting in there, that'll be the predictive text
  6. Lol, I'm painting probably the most laid back and calm person you could meet
  7. No need for a deep breath, just a bit of speculative fun before the AGM. Even if Morris' average increases by that much it would still leave over seven points for the last spot in my theoretical line up. Exciting times indeed at the Foxhole.
  8. A team that solid wouldn't need a top drawer number one though, and by the end of the season I can see Morris being one of the top four or five in the league so whoever started at 1 in that hypothetical team probably wouldn't end up there. If the two Aussie lads at reserve lived up to their billing you could in theory see Risager and Poole at reserve after the first new set of green sheets, quite a scary thought.
  9. Heeps 3.00 Tungate 5.00 Doolan 7.36 Poole 6.53 Risager 6.26 Morris 5.99 Under a 42.5 limit that leaves 10.36 for a number one
  10. Heeps and Tungate starting at reserve? Wow. Reluctant to talk Ippo up too much after this season but thats quite a start to team building if Tungate signs too.
  11. I believe that too, Lasse needs to develop his gating but he is much better from the back already.
  12. Its been suggested that Kenny would prefer him to ride somewhere different so he can be his own man........
  13. I imagine it will appear here tomorrow.
  14. Anyone ever seen duffyscouse and Radio 5's Stuart Hall in the same room
  15. Bit of a generalisation there although I'm pretty sure I know which team and fan you are talking about
  16. Wow, what a mini comeback by Scunfield after Mildy's comeback! Sounds like a tremendous meeting, well done to all involved
  17. Such a shame that the Scunfield lads have frozen a bit on the day all credit to the Fen Tigers though.
  18. Wow, well done Scunfield, particularly Stefan
  19. Word on the street is that he may be racing in Poland next season.
  20. Wimborne Road not really my cup of tea to be honest, but in mitigation the 2004 SWC meetings there were rather tasty so it would on that basis be a worthy venue I guess
  21. I'd imagine thats the case, you'd think if another UK track wanted it they'd be given the event as a matter of variety and fairness. Personally I'd like to see it at Peterborough or Wolverhampton which in my opinion are the only two EL tracks on a par with Lynn for racing. Sheffield would also be a great venue and it would be nice to think that Somerset and Scunthorpe might develop as stadia so they could hold the event in the future.
