I don't think age ever has mattered. We have or have had an EL full of 16 & 17 yr old poles aussies and Danes

I know it's not indicative of all NL hts and probably not the best but here is an example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQMNpcdlUMk#t=48 And a much better one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqxZAyeyXys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEbxdsDTn4Y

That was truly an awsome season. Hope you are right. Mort gets stuck in and all the pits and track staff are very welcoming.

What would you know......Rofl

It depends what you want from your Speedway really. If you want to see big or fancy foreign names then it wont be for you. It's a bit like marmite....but from the sounds of it you are looking forward to a local team so you've got the right approach.

You are calling me stroppy.......fair play Just seemed an odd question. I imagine more than would have gone to Cov as a fair few Leicester fans will go who wouldn't have gone to Cov.

Why do you ask? Does it matter?

I'm not being funny but you will only gain credibility for your argument if you give constructive criticism. Your comments are too generic no specifics and no suggestions on what he did wrong Or what he should have done different. I'm happy to listen to your argument but it has to be constructve.

Thanks

No doubt there is a shortage of riders. Already short of Ben and James changing more could be difficult. I've not looked ate the averages You could have replaced Widman or Payne with Chessell I suppose or Maybe Priest but I think Priest and Chessell had already been signed by other clubs when the downturn started. I'm not sure there were many heatleaders knocking about without a job. Stokes would have always gone to KL. I can't think of anyone else. You may want to explain where you think Malcolm went wrong in the 4's. Selectionwise he had no choice. Maybe one of the PL supporters (unless you can) may want to inject an opinion on whether team 'strenghening' in the PL was anymore successful.

Who would you have signed to replace Ben! I'm not going to pretend that everything at Stoke is perfect but The meetings were run in double quick time apart from a couple where incidents occurred to memory James being taken to Hospital and the track conditions of the Kent meeting. The track was good although dusty at times but many tracks suffered from that in the hot weather we got mid summer. The original team was good I think the combination of losing Ben and James were extra factors. The PA on the 3rd and 4th bend is difficult to hear but that could be the announcer if he talks in a whisper. No parade at the beginning of the meeting. There was one when up against Kings Lynn I think and it added a whole new dimension to the meeting. Bar and stand are cosmetic and better to have a good ridable track than fancy buildings although if they would let a few volunteers down there in the winter to tidy it up it could only enhance the product. The loss of the website was sad. One final thing......... The management can't ride the bikes themselves. Yes the manager should be there for tactics etc. It's up to the riders to ride the bikes and if things start to go wrong for them sometimes it's difficult to pick yourself up from a downward spiral but they never stopped trying. You can lay the blame of many things at the feet of the management but performance on track is squarely the riders responsibility.

I have sent the Mod a message to merge the 2

I think it was Jul 5th Morley beat Widman Stoke v Kent (NLKOC)

I'm not sure that's a goer. I don't think it pulled in the crowds to make it viable

One would assume it will be one of a few initiatives. A whipround wont pay for a whole season next year

You could argue the same point talking Edinburg v Plymouth - poole v Leicester.

Oh ok !

Blimey did he get involved as well? Or was that a separate incident?

Tbh the pit lane at Coventry lends itself to this kind of thing as it is accessible to pit crew riders and supporters and vice verse. Maybe strict guidelines for the lane need to be introduced including marshalling. It is the only one of that design I have seen.

Can I ask why Phillips has been summoned? What his part?

But none of the 'alleged' offenders ride for Poole

Yes and then the other 2 are the other semifinalists. Not too long to wait now although whoever gets Cradley in the Semi wont progress so pray they don't pick you

Well Done.

They have a texter on Proboards now

Has the writing been on the Rye House wall since Kent? They seem to love him there
