Ipswich v Belle Vue POSF Leg 2
tyler42 replied to blue witch's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
He broke his leg when he hit a drain lid in the second half of a league meeting at Hyde Road. It was a week before the world final. Even if he did have a league meeting that week. I'm sure no one would have blamed him for missing the meeting with a broken leg!. What I was trying to say, Riders were very much more of club men back then. They didn't ride in Sweden on a Tuesday and Poland on a Sunday. Yes they rode long track meetings in Germany and such, but they were individual meetings, so for the likes of PC and Mort, the Aces was their club. Yes the Aces are Bewley's and Kurtz's club, but they also have a Polish club and a Swedish club and as such their loyalties are split. No doubt the highest payers will always come first and thats not Belle Vue! -

Fair play, but I don't think Belle Vue fans from back in the day would have been so generous if PC and Mort had decided not to bother in a cup final. PC if i remember correctly came second in the 77 world final with a broken leg in Sweden in far worse conditions than tonight. -

I don't think you can get a yardstick on King's riding tonight against a very poor Belle Vue team. Yes you can only beat whats in front of you, but it will be a different kettle of fish against Sheffield or Leicester. -

Once again Lemon Favouring the young Aussie over Mulford. He got a good 2nd there, considering he hadn't not ridden since heat 2. -

Good question, but by looking at the way he rides. I would say he wouldn't be popping around at the back. like some! -

Does Tatum really think the tie is still up for grabs? or is he just saying that? He does talk a lot of old bol*oc*s on a regular basis though. "Goodness Gracious Me" The public schoolboy coming out in him there!!! -

The only problem with that. It doesn't matter how professional they are if they are riding in front of just a couple of hundred people. You could say some of these riders live in a Fantasy world. You have riders of junior standard turning up with big flash vans all the gear. If it means going back to having one bike in the boot of the car, then maybe you will get youngsters who can afford to do the sport like it use to be. Rather than having rich Mums and Dads to rely on. Having said all of that. Speedway unfortunately is a dying sport. It's been on life support for a while now. Speedway was of a different time back in it's heyday. Demographics have changed. No London clubs. No midland clubs bar Leicester. It's sad but it's reality.

Ipswich v Sheffield 4th September
tyler42 replied to Aries's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
He has been been one of the better RS's imo and has the third highest average behind Flint and Jenkins. -
BERWICK v WORKINGTON (Saturday, Aug 30 - 7pm)
tyler42 replied to crescent girl's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
A lot of said riders will be stacking shelves at Tescos soon if they are not to carful !! -
There has been plenty of those scenarios this season. Absolute joke of a sport. Even in the final, we had the two top riders on 15 and 13. the other two on 8 and 7 and Fricke sat in the pits watching on 11pts! Surely they have to have a good look and realised they gone it wrong and while they are at it, stop Morris from fu**ing up the track at every GP!!

Oxford vs Poole 20/08/25 Champ.
tyler42 replied to LisaColette's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
It seems nearly every meeting, Schroek has the opportunity to use Killeen but doesn't. Jenkins was an obvious candidate to be replaced in heat 9, but not old Schroek! Two reserves score 8 and 7+1 nether get an extra ride!!!! -
Lowest No 5 Averaged rider in the league. Oxfords 2nd heat leader with an average of 5.04. Yet Schroeck for the life of me usually gives him his 4 rides. Yesterday at Glasgow he scored 2 pts in his 1st ride. Then had 3 lasts yet he still got 4 rides!! Today was a prime example. He scored 5 from 4 rides yet Schroeck puts him in heat 15 ahead of Luke Killeen 11-1, Mitch McDiarmid 8 and Jorden Jenkins 7-1. Schroeck really is the biggest clown in the sport. How do people employ him?
