  1. Reading Jason Pipe's comments on Newcastle's team he thinks Claus Vissing can put a point and a half on his 8.43 ave and James Wright can put at least 3 points on his 4.00 ave! Diamonds could challenge for play-offs of those predictions come true!
  2. Can't expect Jason to he successful this year as he has the weakest team in the league!
  3. Not sure of the negativity surrounding Pijper's signing, I think he'll do a good job!
  4. Given how long he's been out of (full time) speedway, an 8.21 ave seems very harsh!
  5. In this day and age you can't discriminate against age, can't see a reason not to allow Wallinger to ride in NDL!
  6. Do the flag Marshalls at Peterborough stand on the track as the riders take the chequered flag? If the club I serious about H&S this wouldn't be allowed! I've seen the Sheffield guy half way up the track at times!
  7. You can't expect common sense to be shown from the BSPA!
  8. But as speedway riders don't have a set riding number, how do you pick a number not to be used?
  9. Just asked if I could get a bye to a later round of a snooker tournament if I didn't fancy my opponent, but got told no! If i'm too busy, i'd just have to forfeit. So how did Poole managed it? How can a "professional" sports organisation be more lapse on the rules than an amateur club event?
  10. I heard that too, but with only 3 home & 3 away NT matches, it won't take up much of his time!
  11. If it was my club I'd wait till after the funeral then press on with team plans. As upsetting as losing a rider is, they will eventually have to carry on with the sport!
  12. But Jensen was in the same team as Bickley last season so can't be "replacing" him in the team is how I see it!
  13. Agree with your comment "Fromafar" Glasgow's bottom end is stronger than last year, technically replacing Bickley with Nicol, but at the top far weaker replacing Jensen with Wells!
  14. Bizarrely when a similar thing happened in 2009 for Edinburgh no rules were changed and no major arguments were made! Dilger had 12 matches to get a 3.00 ave, but Wolbert missed a match (illness) so stayed on a 7.00 ave rather than going to 9+!
  15. Shouldn't hurt home attendances as all matches will be double headers, will also save the promotion money as Wallinger won't score what Flint would (no offence David), not good news for the Gems opponents who will now have to pay for a large home win with a now very weak team unlikely to have the stands packed!
  16. Stupid decision by BSPA, as it's surely hard to sign 7 riders willing to race in NT only & not want the extra meetings NL will give! As long as a rider (Flint) doesn't ride for a club in the NT (Armadale) what's the issue?
  17. Wallinger is 3.87, the Gems are more than 5 points under the limit now!
  18. Wasn't breaking any rules though! Led to Peterborough & Coventry almost pulling out of the 2011 season!
  19. Well last year was his highest ave, a slow improver not a overnight sensation! 2016: Sheffield (2.32) 2017: Ipswich (4.51) 2018: Redcar / Glasgow (4.09) 2019: Redcar (4.61)
  20. Stupid decision by BSPA, as it's surely hard to sign 7 riders willing to race in NT only & not want the extra meetings NL will give! As long as a rider (Flint) doesn't ride for a club in the NT (Armadale) what's the issue?
  21. If either of the newcomers falter, he's a ready made replacement!
  22. There's no reason to come in "well below the points limit" as there's plenty of 5/6 pt riders available!
