  1. well thats an over excited response to a post if i ever saw it but thanks for pointing out my faults, i will seek out some counciling to make me a better person and to show some love for everything austrailian in the future but for now still hope the aussies finish last
  2. hope it a good final ,no tactical slowing down and the ausies finish last ,thats all i ask
  3. personally i think we should always put our best rider out in heat 1 so we get off to a good start .however we didnt and made a dreadfull start. then i think we made a mistake notputting woffy on a double score race in heat 3 .it was one of his easiest races and had we done it we would of been either in the lead or on level scores for the first half the meeting and the difference between winning and losing in speedway is often the belief ,if we had that belief because we were winning instead of chasing the pack the outcome could of been different. but hey ho were out and nothing will change . all the riders give their all but we just need that little something
  4. in most races we rode well and were there or there about but out of the starts we were shocking .we just couldnt gate and at this level you get punished. we are good enough to win any meeting but only when we learn to gate. but on to thursday ,new meeting new day new line up .we can do it we just have to believe
  5. it wouldnt matter if the last meeting in the month was rained off cause the programme was already used for the first 3 matches and the restage would just be put into next month programme or the month that it is rearanged for and this system is already used by bsi but over a tourniment not a month and the altetnative is the current idea of being ripped off buying programmes from the rain off
  6. maybe teams should put out a monthly programme for around £3.00 with all the matches in that month featured .then it wouldnt really matter if they had a rain off as the programme would still be relevent to the other matches and the public wouldnt feel ripped off by bying it .and it dosent really matter which match you buy it at cause any match in that month would be covered although you would get better value if you brought it at the first match of the month
  7. start world war 3 cause without speedway life would be not be worth living ,lol
  8. is it off tonight? .i just read on twitter from someone at the stadium saying its off but cant find nothing official
  9. sadly it seems to be the norm these days
  10. because unfortunatly the few in the "havent got a bloody clue" call the shots
  11. on the subject number of injuries .im not sure if there is more or not .the number of absent riders is up but most are through a crazy ruled sport not injuries and a lot of injuries happen abroad and then the rider misses a british match so we think another injury to the list but thats really because riders ride almost everday all over europe and years ago they only rode a couple of days a week. but on average a rider will get 1 injury per year
  12. this problem has been around since the invention of air fences (remember luke priest at stoke) .the problem is more whats behind the air fence. if chris holders acident happend at wolves even with the air fence lifting the fence behind is mesh with no posts held by wires. the air fence has been an excuse for promotors to install concrete barriers for stock cars and i said this for a few years its a disaster waiting to happen. air/foam fences give 100% protection 95% of the time and when 4% happens and the air fence isnt effective the barrier behind should be . the other 1% is the accident that happens where no amount of safety measures would of made a difference because motorbike are dangerous by their very nature
  13. i dont think its the speed of the bikes cause speeds are not really faster than 20 years ago but what is different is the speed of the back wheel . a modern speedway bike is pretty much at the top of its revs all the time and when the bike hits a rut or bump and takes off there is not enough room to get the revs down and control the bike. it covers the width of the track in about a second
  14. sorry miss understood the last bit .i thought you meant people were taken for a ride by riders about silencers. yes some riders have taken some for a ride . mine wasnt a payment or anthing like that . it was a con
  15. the old silencers got very warm but they didnt get so hot they they turn the thing brown/blue the old silencer was half the heat of the new one and that is fact . who exactly has been taken for a ride by the riders . my points are from 1st hand experience as a rider and a mechanic . so lets hear your ideas to save money then? cause it seems mine are crap
  16. and they allow silencers that make the bike more eratic to handle(read kelvin tatum piece in the star) and when the rider falls they get burnt by the thing . yea thats great foresight
  17. wheel spoiler safety thats fine but why didnt the FIM introduce it till now. -one rule for onefuel. not why it was introduced but why was it ?£9- someone was having a cut .the noise silencers make is no different to a non speedway person than the old silencers. i hear the reason the uni at bham had an issue with the noise was an alternative motive . they wanted the land that the track is on. speedway is full of great fabulous people and that includes the bspa and promotors but there is also some rouges who are doing the sport no favours at all and they have a big say. i and others got took for money by one person who was a top figure in speedway and despite this i wouldnt be suprised if they were let back to run the sport
  18. whenever a rule is introduced regarding the bikes it should be put before a panal of riders .and costs to all parties are fully explained and how it will make the sport better then if it seen as a good idea it gets past .
  19. why did the british speedway make it mandatory to use wheel spoilers but the FIM didnt.? the diference between the price of a mitas tyre and a british league mitas tyre is about £25 .allowing for transport £5 per tyre and £5 to suplier where does the £15 per tyre go (they are the same tyre) .remember when british speedway introduced the yellow fuel and it went up to £9 a gallon yet you could still get fuel for £2.50 a gallon but they wouldnt let you use it. british speedway is like politics. you can call me cynical if you like but it stinks
  20. and make the fans wear a black and white wooly bobble hat as they pass through the turnstiles and call it the black n white double price tatical scheme but you can only do it when you have had 10 pints and are drunk enough to think its a good idea. it has the bspa written all over it. lol
  21. and about 10% of the crowd of those events wont pay a penny . if you work for the right people you can go to these events for free but someone has got to pay for these freebies and thats the likes of me and you
  22. although there are some variants in the way they are paid(some full time ,some paid per match) the wage bill for mechanics in the elite league is around £19000 a week and a lot are paid by the club. can speedway afford that? i know mechanics deserve that money they work damm hard, i know cause i currently one but the fact is speedway cant afford it
