Would you really want to bother? If I was a promoter of an EL club these days I certainly wouldn't.

Coventry V Poole El Friday 22nd April 2016
Gemini replied to SteveLyric2's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
We've all been invited to the Queen's birthday celebrations. Haven't you heard yet? Let's hope you are right. -
Coventry V Poole El Friday 22nd April 2016
Gemini replied to SteveLyric2's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
It might be fractionally better but with Lindgren in for Holder making the Pirates even stronger and Coventry having a 6 man team, another thrashing looks likely. -
Could Woffy Be Making An El Return?
Gemini replied to Daniel Smith's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
So what night would you suggest so he would come rushing back to ride, along with all the other G.P. stars? Not Friday's now Poland seem to have taken that day over as well. -
Poole V Coventry Ela. 20/04/16
Gemini replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Yes, Woryna has had his operations and is now recovering at home. No idea when/if he will be back though as it was a really nasty injury. -
You've missed out Watch the tractor do umpteen laps, or perhaps that comes under 'Stand and stare bored.' Doesn't always work though. There was a very good deal for the recent Leicester v Swindon Sky match yet by all accounts the crowd was poor.

Poole V Coventry Ela. 20/04/16
Gemini replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Is he Polish then? It's only April and I'm cheesed off already with what looks like another season of guests/rider replacements. If Holder chooses to ride for Torun rather than Poole then it should be a National League rider as a replacement. You can borrow one from the Storm if you like. Too hard apparently. -
Which begs the inevitable question ~ why bother with all the tractor grading to get the shale back on the racing line? (That's what the announcer tells us anyway.) Why can't the dirt be left on the outside if it is going to improve the racing?

Make the track better did they?

Poole V Coventry Ela. 20/04/16
Gemini replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Yes, of course he is. It will more than likely be at least a 20 point win, with possibly 8/10 point win in the return at Coventry if we're lucky. -

Gemini replied to Daniel Smith's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
There aren't many Speedway related things that I remember these days but I do recall Mike's awful crash as well as it was more or less on the same section of track. Crashes are the worse thing about Speedway and I don't like to see them. In fact my dad who took me to Blackbird Road when I was 9 eventually stopped going altogether as he didn't like crashes. I think Tony Davey (Ipswich) also had a bad crash at Leicester when he broke his leg and ended up in the Royal. I remember that one too because feeling sorry for him being in a hospital nowhere near home we went to see him. -
Swindon 2016 - A New Era Starts...we Thought..

So over a week later what's the news that never happened 'tomorrow'. -
Ooooops! Are we going back to North again?

Gemini replied to Daniel Smith's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Sounds awful. I also saw him have an horrendous crash at Blackbird Road when his handlebars got caught up on the wire fence on the home straight. Sue was standing near us and made a hasty retreat to the pits to check how he was. I'm afraid that's all I can remember though and I don't know what injuries he had on that occasion. -
Why would I quote the whole post when I'm just referring to the relevant bits? You said 'Swindon are not as good as they thought they were' then when Crazy robin replied 'No one has said Swindon are good' you say 'Exactly right.' which kind of contradicts what you said in the first place. I can quote the whole post if you like but I'm always thinking about the bandwidth.

Thanks for that link macca56 which I hadn't seen before. Great race. -
I don't think Sam had much choice in the final decision. Didn't he go back to the USA and the track he had planned was altered and all done when he got back? If they had stuck to his design there probably wouldn't have been all these problems about the shape. Is it me or is Starman contradicting himself?

Looks horrible Lisa. I should think he would need a skin graft as well?
-
I did think it was a bit strange in the build up to the match to use a photo showing what looked like a half a mile queue snaking down the path towards the shopping centre. That would be enough to put me off going not encourage me to attend. I can't comment on the match because I haven't got Sky but pleased to see the Lions won.

OMG! Poor Kacper.

Premier League V Elite League
Gemini replied to Shale Searcher's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Nothing to stop you putting a link to a photo on Facebook, Twitter or other sources. It's only photos directly onto the forum that aren't allowed. Personally I much prefer race suits to a race jacket when team mates are wearing different coloured leathers. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150150480337785&set=a.10150148628652785.325833.550797784&type=3&theater -

Always one of my favourites because of his style of riding.
