  1. I'd have thought four seasons at Monmore Green suggests differently.
  2. Odd performance from what should have been a fairly strong Czech team on home soil.
  3. And the home fans can hammer him until the cows come home, that's fair enough after that performance. But it's not the home promotion's place to do that in what is supposed to be a professional sport.
  4. Quite agree, while every word is probably spot on it's neither appropriate or professional for a club to lay into an opposing rider in their own match report like that.
  5. Because he averaged eight and a half last year and had a decent season. But there will be the odd night where he is totally disinterested (pairs a couple of years ago) and that's the risk. He'd never be in any team of mine but his ability when he can be arsed gets him jobs.
  6. I wouldn't be dropping Kerr, all the seasons he has ridden in the second tier over the years tell you that his scores won't stay low. As for King, why would he leave Redcar while he is settled and happy there?
  7. As it is it seems they needed to win to be sure anyway but the bigger picture would be to give Killeen five rides for his development of they didn't. People will disagree with it of course but I can see why that would have been done if they were through regardless.
  8. Not for me. While it would be lovely for a Norfolk lad to be a multiple world champion, it's a big issue for me that almost all jeopardy has been removed as we already know who is going to win the series and probably will carry on doing so until Bartosz retires. Would be the same whoever it was. Phil Taylor winning the darts every year was no different. City winning the PL too.
  9. Playing Devil's Advocate, on this occasion weren't Oxford pretty much through anyway even if they lost ie as best runner up (as Poole are now)? In which case no need to restrict Killeen's rides. The bloke is obviously not a very good TM but sometimes he gets clog when its not necessarily warranted.
  10. There's a reason Sheffield have signed Sedgemen and Kerr.
  11. I don't think anyone from Lynn has blamed the track for the defeat, if anything it helped us get a very respectable score considering Ipswich's power this year. But those who paid for an afternoon's racing and got a blue groove are perfectly entitled to criticise from a VFM point of view. It's unusual for Foxhall and there were obviously meteorological reasons for it so hopefully lessons will have been learned. Telling people to deal with it doesn't really help anyone going forward.
  12. I can't imagine that Lahti or any other riders not based here for that matter have any interest in riding in the UK at the moment.
  13. Yep it looks like the track caught the Ippo boys out early doors. A bit disappointing to be six up and not push them closer but that's a pretty good effort really as they are so strong 1-7.
  14. Snap, I'm working (gardener) and couldn't have put it better myself.
  15. There is also the point that people are being forced to pay £30 even if they want to leave after heat 15 of the main meeting.

  17. Others might disagree but personally I want every team I support to go into every fixture believing they can win, however unlikely. I think if you stray away from that foundation it's a slippery slope.
  18. He won two heats in his last Lynn meeting and probably isn’t expected to score at the Foxhole tomorrow so I can't see him leaving the Lynn line up unless it's his choice.
  19. Two home wins with Sheff taking the bonus I'd imagine
  20. He qualified and is eligible to race as its a 'junior' event just like the NDL/NDT.
  21. I don't think there is personally. I think riders have their schedules sorted and would only start flying over once other leagues finish.
  22. And will stop promotions stock piling 'assets' to fleece others with loan fees. A good thing it's been abolished and should have been years ago.
