Workington V Sheffield Pl 28/5/16 7pm
scaramanga replied to Comet Dan's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
think your being slightly hard on the sheffield team there was some good racing from all riders tonight as for nathan well thats just part of being classed as the next big thing before you earn the right had his moments when he rode for workington but was also a bit lucky to hold his place untill injury rulled him out as for kenath hanson we are lucky enough to see that type of racing from him regularly worth the admisson money alone when hes in that mood -
Brady Kurtz At Plymouth

why is it lack of ambition the so called british elite league hasnt been a good product for quite a few years now yes you have a few decent riders at the top end but the lower end and no disrespedt to them are basicly national league riders the races are 2 in 1 most of them with 2 riders racing for the win and 2 racing for third im not a plynouth fan but i hope as the start post says this move brings the crowds in as the management have tried hard to get a team together that will challenge and entertain so many dont really try to challange and entertain but build teams regarding cost and budget -
were all guilty of it at times i hold my hand up and admit im not perfect and sometimes make posts that when i look back the day after sometimes i think well thats not exactly what i meant but i stand by the coment i made when the remark about niki barret was made by the panthers fan

thats the thing with speedway you just cant predict which meetings are going to be the best quite often its the ones you dont expect that are the best entertainment -

he was trying hard to pass matt wiliamson in heat 8 i think it was maybe too hard either clipped his back wheel or just over cooked it on 4th bend -

workington had a few problems tonight but somerset were a solid team paul starke has come on a lot in a few years rode very well tonight although workington had problems to be honest on the night the score could have been more in somersets favour -
i too feel for cookie and any other rider who takes the gamble to drop the fabulous prem league in search of better things belle vue situation hasnt helped but also hes found out the hard way polish speedway is hard for brits theres too many good home grown riders waiting to take rides so any brits have to really prove themselves as not all countries are as soft as us brits

Bt Sports Costs
scaramanga replied to sportmaniaphotos's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
i looked into bt sports earler this year when motors tv was off air for a short time on sky now ill put my case across the only sports im interested in watching are motorsports which are at the bottom end of priority for broadcastors why cant there be a dedicated motorsports channel for around £5 a month football demands a very high premium why do i have to subsribe to something ill never watch £20 a month for for sports channel is far too much and if people were not as obssesd by football then we wouldnt have to pay such fees to watch other sports -
taken from the comets forum These averages have just been released and we have a new number 1! Claus Vissing 8.93 Ricky Wells 8.80 Kenneth Hansen 7.37 Rasmus Jensen 6.71 Mason Campton 5.00 Adam Roynon 4.66 Matt Williamson 3.00 Total 44.47
-
rolling averages must be different as claus is listed at no 1 for the ryehouse meeting
-
young dan was never far off the pace on a big track even once when he looked like the bike was gonna slide away from him he pulled bike up and carried on looks like he has the potential to be a good rider i think proctor done us a favour rasmus jensen looks better than what i would expect from proctor wasnt masters 2nd lowest scorer last night oh yes 2 points just the same as rookie dan bewly and only the zero from max clegg being lower think adam roynon had 6 or 7 points last night
-
not round workington if they forget to turn the taps on it runs out on the first lap also very little fuel is in the engine theres more in the carburettor mind but still not enough to do 2 laps thank god not enough room for two golden boys and lamberts average is almost double masons so unfair to have a dig at mason if he was as good as i was expecting after his first or second ride he would have been in front like other top riders that come to derwent park for the first time obviously this young lad is good but dont think from what i saw hes the superstar others think he is all riders can have a off night hopefully ill see the real robert lambert in the future and ill change my opinion i acn only judge from what i see with my own eyes both worrall's and ludvig all rode better than lambert last night ludvig had a poor first ride and then improved as the night went on something i expected lambert to do but he didnt realy improve that much if any

Workington Comets V Redcar Bears 9/4/16 7pm Lc
scaramanga replied to Comet Dan's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
yes there was a couple of 65 second heats -
they dont sponser the speedway just the rugby so derwent park if you dont mind we pay for 15 heats i know and accept safety comes first but at the end of the day when meetings end early we are short changed arnt we cant knock matt wiliamson's efforts either hansen looks like hes right up for it this season
-
sadly we all know £14000 is not enough to keep a speedway team alive for a season
-
just like to add my name to the list real sad news and agree its really hard for all involved we dont know why its happenend on the eve of the new season but im sure some warning could have been given
