  1. Basically a good shape, but do think a bit of extra width in the bends (and hence slightly shorter straights) would help.....
  2. Wouldn't surprise me if Harris ended up being in the team, He couldn't get to grips with Foxhole and has got to be better than his current average. On his day he can put in a decent top rider score and win crucial heats
  3. Cook arrived too late, for some reason we seemed to have nearly all our away matches in the first half of the season, so limited opportunities to get anything on the road once cook arrived. Hope there is a better spread in 2020
  4. I'm liking the much better paced announcements this year, although would hope we'll be all done and dusted by the new year, or early new year. It's Bartosz Zmarzlik on a 7 point average
  5. MPT is definitely the better all round rider home and away than both lewis and tj and should have been on the team sheet. Be surprised if we can fit him in now. Our loss is someone else's gain. Sentiment does not win the league
  6. Assuming Robert Lambert returns and shows his 2018 form that'll make a big difference. That would lift the rest of the team, whether that's the same team as last year or not. The key could simply be the right no. 7
  7. Definitely not an inspiring start, hope the next announcements are better
  8. Broc Nichol has signed for Wolves, thought we had him signed earlier this year, so lined up for 2020. looks like a few decent sides out there being announced, wonder what inspiring options we'll be left with
  9. True, but don't mind one at a time or all at once, but if it is one a time every couple of weeks at most so we know by early in the new year
  10. Whatever the team next year, I just hope the announcements aren't drip fed through til March
  11. Would happily have Klindt in the team, being a gater he goes well every where, and has stated he does not want to drop a league. My only issue, is he looks a bit like Erik with beard and shaved head... might confuse the two
  12. Tend to agree - its in the best interests of the sport for teams to agree in a professional manner..... I also think the cut off date for matches (and hence fines) MUST be BEFORE semi-finals of the competition (whether league or supporters cup).
  13. I had planned to go, but my 120 mile round trip with the dodgy weather forecast put me off. Shame, as I as looking forward to once last speedway fix before winter sets in. Hopefully they'll do something similar again next season with better weather, both teams looked like a nice mix of riders, and I was looking forward to see Rowe and Kemp round the AFA
  14. I really don't get all these race night arguments. If it's midweek which ever day it is, you gain some you lose some due to work commitments. Friday and Saturday you are more likely to get kids along so potential for bigger crowd depending on what other local attractions are on at same time, but for the top league that's a no go due to all the international meetings. So for PL fixed nights on Monday/Thursday to avoid other leagues is the way to go. Much prefer that to guests and r/r. Supporters will get used to it.
  15. Looking forward to that one - much closer to me than Kings Lynn. Not sure where they'll ride though......local council and nimby's normally put blockers on any hope of that one in my life time
  16. Riss had an off at kings lynn, can't remember which match, but after that was never quite as quick, put it down to not having another bike that was as quick. MPT and Riss should be shoe ins for me as they did hold their own on the road. Problems were 2 misfiring heat leaders and tj, lewi and what other reserve we could muster bring pants on the road
  17. No GP wild card for Lambert, hopefully that means he'll do the UK next season, and that'll be good news for the Stars. A year out of GP's will help him rediscover his form of 2018 and push for GP's again in 2021.....
  18. Still miss the days of Pride of the East to bring the curtain down on the current season. Could be done early October, throw in a few riders we want to look at for 2020, maybe change format to that of SGP to keep riders interest up through the meeting. Kind of fizzled out too early this year and a long winter ahead
  19. Need Lewis to be on it for definite to help cover r/r and a weak porsing. We be pleasantly surprised if we beat the Robins
  20. Hope it's not Thursday. Swindon home Monday and heading off to Cardiff Friday. Thursday as well for a meaningless fixture, forget it.
  21. Agree with most of this. Think Lewis started slow, unsurprising after his injuries last season, but has been making good progress lately, so I'd have him in. Regarding fixed race nights, almost worked as a lot less clashes, the tweak it needs is to split matches over Mon and Thurs, 2 each night at most to leave options for suitable guests for injuries
  22. It's probably because King's Lynn isn't spelt p-o-o-l-e
  23. King's Lynn to win at Wolves next week..... that'll put a different spin on things
  24. Have faith, surely we've got to win somewhere away this season... PLEASE!
