  1. newprt had a great shaped track for racing .but the surface was always poor ,slick and potholed ,nice stand which sadly was never properly comlpleted , decent changing rooms and rerasonable pits , one of the problems with it was Tim Stone himself . heart 100% in speedway ,but an utter meglomaniac , we used to go to southern track events there that dragged on for hours and hours ,because he wouldn't let anyone help him , instead of letting somebody drive the water truck while he graded he had to do both . and every 4 heats , in a meeting that has 60 heats that's a very long time , I have heard only second hand mind ,that he pissed off sponsors because he was a little arrogant , having said that . a bloke who is prepared to collect supermarket trollies and put the money into his speedway team , maybe he had felt he had a right to say his piece ,
  2. Ronnie Moore MBE , Ivan Mauger OBE, Get on the BBC website and complain , I already have , lets see if we can get an apology
  3. This is not the first time Judas has done this , and even when he has stuck with the team he chose he only rides when he feels like it , why does he keep getting tem places ? lets start a team Dean , offer him big money m then once all the other teams are complete , say we have had a better offer so goodbye
  4. There was more involved in newports closing than the cost of the toll . something very very dodgy to do with the promotion and their transport business , i can't remember what it was ,but the pervert SCB knew what it was , and blamed I a member of these forums for colluding in the closure
  5. Dissapointing to see young Jack left out , similar with Andy Mellish . with a team like like Colts being a second team . riders who are A , popular with the fans ,B, have some sort of local draw to put as many bums onseats as possible are needed to help bring people in , throughout the league there are riders left out who ,were I an NL promoter would be first on my shopping list , and others who have team places that I wouldn't give the time of day to .
  6. I dont think anybody other than the BSPA wants it . not the fans not the the riders not the Nl promoters ,and if you are to create a league which is purely for the purpose of development , then you have to have a system where the developed riders can go afterwards and get a decent run at it . as it is the gap between NL and championship is too big ,and if you make the step up you will most likely be replaced within weeks by an untried foreigner
  7. Lambert is not a very good example of the virtues of nl speedway . it's no secret that he and his family credit germany with his rapid rise to the top , and he did very few NL meetings anyway before jumping straight into the premiership , a better example would have been Craig Cook , or Chris Harris both spent a couple of full seasons in the third tier while making their way up
  8. The same reason Thousands yes that's right thousands go out MX racing each and every weekend , because despite the costs which are equal to speedway , it's what they choose to do ,
  9. some elite league riders bin the clutch plates after every meeting , others keep them for 4 or 5 , 8 plates at £40 each , front chains last for about 10 meetings unless you want to risk your neck and have one break then you can push them further , About £40 for a primary chain . back ones last about the same and cost the same , if you want to maintain reliable kit speedway is a money pit with no bottom , dont forget the chainsprays and filter sprays , clutch bodies at £500 dont last a full season either
  10. warm up and 4 heats = 850 ml of new oil . about £10 . rebuild every 30 races ,£400
  11. leicester wasn't built on a rubbish tip , Hemsley imported the rubbish tip @£35 a load to pay for the place
  12. I haven't heard anything about Hopwood . Is he still riding ?
  13. thats correct , but this team wouldn't have a group actively working against it , so a few might turn up to watch ,
  14. you'll be looking at £100 + for an unmade Protar Kit
  15. IF brum goes up . I hope they will continue with their MDL team aswell
  16. Pretty simple really . unless of course you want to invent something else , at the moment they dont have a name ,so whatever they may be called . not rocket science is it . If you think tieing the 2 together as leicester 1 and 2 is a good idea , fair enough , who cares really , except not too far away there are at least 2,000 speedway fans who have no team and will have nothing to do with leicester in any form . if you dont want any of their support ,fine ,call them Lions 2 if you like . lions cubs hunters all mean exactly the same thing .... Leicester
  17. the whatevers are a standalone team in their own league no need to tie them to any other team, In fact trying to tag them onto another leicester team will have a negative effect
  18. What the holy F%%k are you on about now , have you forgot to take your medication ? go soak your head
  19. the only connection is in the minds of people who go looking for things to be offended about , pathetic really
