personally I think the best set up was back when it was 45 point team average
-
for me the way 2 go is discounted tickets rather than freebies even if its a fiver if you get someone to pay a small fee it shows theres a slight interest there to start with freebies you never know what your getting in
-
i actually agree to most the changes (i think) but the one where riders arnt allowed to get of there bikes to do the gardening thing now come on they tried this 2 or 3 years ago and soon reverted back so why is it any different now or will it stand till 1 of the promotors who must be have there own way start getting too many riders pulled up for it
-
id say that it looks like theres 4 or 5 clubs at the moment who look strong but we all know in speedway its more often the ones who dont look clear favourites at the start of season that are up there at the end

jenga dont have a sofa he uses old woden crates but he does have a good biscuit barrell
-
might be plenty oif brits signed to polish clubs but how many will actually get a ride
-
why should they give up on life outside speedway speedway is a bit of a mugs game too be honest the risks involved are not rewarded by wealth you cant expect riders to wrap themselves up in cotton wool outside of speedway we all deserve a decent out of work life regardless of what job/sport we do
-
maybe because ash aint a bad rider
-
my poor mate jenga is a poor example of anything apart from a good mate and a wind up merchant sorry Mr t
-
its more of a way of making sure there is enough credit there to pay the bills if it all goes ** up thats what i was told years ago from a co promotor
-
i always found it strange and funny that if a foreign rider wanted to ride speedway in uk he had to pass a english test but footballers takeaway workers and such like can find work much easier than home grown uk residents who do speak the native tounge
-
but the posts were talking about end of season not a rider deliberatly dropping average at start of season in order to strengthen team for reat of yeat

its not about how high any riders average is at end of season its about how much the riders improve there average over the season that makes a succsesful season

Scott Nicholls Not Allowed To Ride In The Championship?
scaramanga replied to DC2's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
so will this mean scotty will finaly ride workington he was booked years ago to do a few match races with a couple of comets riders he never rode the offical reason given was it was a very cold night and they just wanted to get the meeting over and scott promised to return to earn his fee hasnt happened so far lets see if he returns with a team or they use r/r if he does actually sign for a championship team -
as it wasnt a offical comets event you wont get the sheep saying anything on here incase the puppet master gets upset
-
a happy motivated matt williamsan will be a decent reserve and if he gets to grips with the track he will gain confidence and improve his average

electric speedway bike . WHEN?
scaramanga replied to jenga's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
i understood what you ment but i was just pointing out a power cut will stop a traditonal meeting just as easy as a futuristic electric 1 ive spoke to a few trials riders and watch them perform with electric trials bikes and i can only say i was very impressed obviously speedway is slightly different as the lack of noise would play a big part in things most people wont undersatand the actual power and torque of a electric motor they are that powerfull they need geared down or soft start otherwise they could shear a solid shaft on start up -
electric speedway bike . WHEN?
scaramanga replied to jenga's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
exactly the same as in meetings as there run today the meeting will be abandoned no power means no start or red stop lights no floodlights and no automatic tape release and no pa systems -
not what ive heard
-
ive heard similar tales not 100% the same but there is a possibility anthony cant do the track due to the amount of fridays anthony has told a close friend of mine something lets just see what happens this is what happens when plans are made without talking to all involved not really having a go at anyone at workington speedway by that just a general comment and more to do with my own work place than workington speedway
-
was brent werner the same while he was at newcastle he wasnt that shy but did sit outside in the van after the meeting but he did have a young child at the time if i remember right a lot of the workington fans didnt really like the fact he "didnt socialise " like some of the others
