  1. would be funny to see how they tried to delay if he wasnt there on time
  2. when team was announced as" building within a budget to secure the future" i was more than happy with the team i didnt expect us to win the league but also knew it was a team that if riders rode to there ability they would and are surprising a few unfortunatly the rider we needed to ride to there ability was adam roynon who has been dropped obviously adams bikes were not fast enough obviously mason has upped his game to the shock of many away supportors thomas is coming good and ty is doing bits and pieces but i still think theres more to come from ty the only member of the team im worried about is james sarjent but hes looking better on track just needs to learn how to gate when the tapes move rather than before they move
  3. there was a few posts on here going on about taking all the points and comets getting nothing i dont do facebook so it must have been on here but hey we all know its just banter but some get upset when there wrong and others like to carry the banter on when it back fires
  4. it was on this very forum if its not there anymore some embarassed posters must have edited there posts
  5. they didnt blade it away they mooved it and beeded it in probaly just filling in a hole or 2 while packing it down no shale was bladed away
  6. from what i heard was more than slamming the phone but hey what would i know
  7. and cookie is just a rider when its managers thats worse in my book but as ippo want every thing there own way its maybe ok for them to do this type of thing i think the 4 points they were getting from last nights meeting should be deducted oh sorry they didnt get them did they ah well its only speedway
  8. team managers have rules to stick too aswell 1 off which is dont break the law to be fair theres not many refs/managers and riders that do know the rules more often than not the fans study the new rules more than officals
  9. back on track to thread subject anyone else hearing rumours that part of the ipsich management through a little tantram and lost there dummy
  10. why did you have to say that and put the kiss of death on the comets this league is very competative with many teams that either look good or have the potential to do good if certain riders click whoever is in the play offs there gonna have to earn it or have a serious run of good luck along the way i think all comets fans new matt had it but hes clicked a bit better than expected as for mason we saw last year he was better than his scores /performances sugested this year he has upped his game maybe its the fact that hes had a run rather than just a season on season away but he still needs to work at it but certainly round derwent park he can and does beat much better rated riders all the workington team look good on there day even rob shuttleworth isnt off the pace and for his relativly short time in speedway hes doing ok in my book not many others out there that id replace him with just hope hes not too bad after his tangle last night with the out of controll nathan greaves only the ref can tell you that nobody will argue but as in the past when refs make mistakes the say once they give a call they cant change it sargent was lucky to only get 2 warnings he only made 1 clean start all night and that was a rerun
  11. justin didnt give up as easy as rorry did in his first ride gave up on first bend before rob shuttleworth hit the out of controll greaves shuttleworth was withdrawn because greaves lost it twice infront of him leaving him nowhere to go yes the track was bad tonight but workington riders were having as much trouble as ipswich 10 point lead at the time when track work was done king couldnt manage a win on tac ride after that and workington actually won by 16 i think ipswich should have took advantage of the poor track as all home advantage gets taken away from the home team when the track is bad and not what they are use to
  12. could do with 1 at workington im pritty sure it will be very dusty tonight if the thunder storms dont come
  13. its been raining on and off this morning but nothing heavy and im sure it will pass so for about the first time this year we might have a track thats got watter all the way down in the base but will the top be too dry if they dont water ?
  14. thats the rub of the draw so often in speedway theres been good teams that have had so much bad luck over the season theyve finished well down the table and also some not so good teams that avoid injuries and seam to play other terams when there on a off night that they finish higher than expected
  15. or can he be signed on his current average ? it states noone can be signed on converted avergae before end of may but as the averages were same for both leagues at start of season are they still the same before they work out a conversion ?
  16. im led to believe there will be a conversion for riders dropping down but guess what they havnt worked it out yet ive read this on another thread there going to look at certain riders and see what there scoring in both leagues and try work a conversion rate out at least thats something like ive read here goes ive coppied this from the comets unoffical forum May 11, 2017 at 4:41pm steve said: Brindle, I may have some inside knowledge on this as I am the one who has been tasked with analysing what the conversion rate will be. There will be no official conversion rate until end of May as that is when all the Prem teams will have completed 4H 4A, but I have been analysing scores of riders who ride in both leagues in the team (ie not at reserve), this is currently 16 riders!!! the conversion rate will be considerably lower than 1.4 and I believe until that rate is confirmed no rider will be able to have a converted average.
  17. thats the thing how do we know maybe it is tweaked a bit maybe it isnt but how many gm's go straight on track without being atleast stripped to see if there bolted up right
  18. ill give redcar credit for telling him so many speedway riders find out there getting dropped by the fans or other clubs sometimes getting dropped can be the best thing for some riders as they relax and realise the problem wasnt there equipment but the rider themselves
  19. think i saw him ride at 2 or 3 different tracks and he rode better than was expected to at start off season maybe upped his average a little too much and thats what cost him a team place at start off season bit of a show man aswell so something to entertain the crowd aftewrall the modern speedway era does seam to be missing a few entertainers it was clear danny enjoyed himself and i respect him for that
  20. personaly even though i dont know too much about him danny ayres was unlucky not to get a starting place as last year at start of season he was classed as a bit of a joke signing but in my opinion he did ok and if not wrong rode like everyone knew he could proving he wasnt interested in riding for glasgow week in week out
  21. the first averages are after 4 home and 4 away as far as im aware then they could be monthly after that
  22. must say david howe probably surprised a few tonight didnt look too bad atall after a few meetings hell proably be knocking good points in unless he gets fed up or injured and retires again
  23. but hes 1 off the riders that people class as the ones who should get rides rather than foriegn riders
  24. so dirt in his fuel tank and bent frame swaping parts from 1 bike to the other why the hell did he swap the fuel tank from his bent bike to the spare ?
