Sheffield v Edinburgh 23/08/18
spin king replied to 4thbender's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
present form says a reasonably comfortable away win. But both Riss and Worrall have no form around Sheffield, especially Worrall who has consistently score 4 points around Sheffield in his last 4 visits to the track. Also think that the Edinburgh reserves could be a weak spot. Like I say on present form you have to Edinburgh, but do be shocked if the Tigers let out a defiant roar and get the win they need and crave. -
Workington short of cash, and I reckon they going to cash in on selling Captain Kyle to Sheffield.

only one rider for me and the is the guy sponsored by the company as the Sheffield team.

Oh Dear, I cannot believe anyone out there still takes anything that Jenga serious. -
Sheffield v Redcar SGBCL 09/08/2018 @ 19.30
spin king replied to Blackadder's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Congratulations to the Bears last night rode as a team and totally took us apart from start to the finish. For the Tigers well we just rolled over and let the Bears have it. Another totally pathetic performance from some of the Tigers (I will exclude the two reserves, Broc Nicol and to a lesser extent Kyle Howarth) The whole place has a feeling that we have just given up and accept the wooden spoon. To some of the riders with what appear no desire to a Promotion that leaves the fans on the 1st and 2nd bend in darkness (never thought I would see the day where I needed to use a torch from a mobile phone to fill in the programme). Really beginning to wonder whether its really worth my while going for what little is left of the season. -

I don't think that the top three can ride so poor as they did last week. I am going for a home win. -
First and foremost Congratulations to Scunny on the win last night and victory richly deserved. Onto the Tigers, I refrained from commenting on last weeks shambles as I wanted to see the teams reaction to a meeting with a Scunny side that would give us a massive test. My view is that last night the responsibility lies firmly at the hands of the Heat Leader trio, all three need to take a hard look at themselves as they let the club and the fans down last night that was suppose to be celebration time for the club. Its hard to understand how two out of the three only a few weeks ago brought home a Championship title to the club, and then we get two performances within weeks not good enough I am afraid. The rest of the team for me did okay, Kurtz and Shanes did their jobs, and I refuse to criticise Broc Nichol or Joe Lawler, Broc has been put into a very tough position and Joe actually did a lot better than I anticipated. The rest of the season we now need to make sure that there is no more slip ups at home, we have not got a cat in hell's chance of make the Play Offs and the rest of the season is about pride. For Scunny they may have a chance of making the Play Offs, but injuries could play a major say in whether or not they do.

Scorpions v Sheffield 27.07.2018 7.30pm
spin king replied to ScunnyDan's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Something that you have to accept with Jason Garrity is that he is always going to run the risk on picking up injuries on pretty regular basis, entertaining and great to watch but misses too many meeting. And I sure that I am correct in thinking that for the last three seasons his season has finished early due to injury. -

Chanpionship Pairs Somerset Friday 20th
spin king replied to allthegearbutnaeidea's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Group 1 looks the toughest group, I would go for Lakeside and Scunthorpe to come through that group. Group 2 Sheffield with Ipswich to come through that group. Sticking my neck out I will go for a Lakeside win. -
Ritchie Worrall to Redcar now that would be interesting.

I think that by the end of this season the sport in this country will have reach a crossroads, and depending on which way the BSPA turns depends on whether the sport will flourish or quietly die. For me I think that we now need for the BSPA to relinquish control and hand running and the rules over to either one or two persons. For me two names jump out that have or have had connections with the sport. The first Jonathon Chapman Brash, Cocky, massive ego and not everybody's cup of tea, but has a bit of the entrepreneur about him and for me has the vision to take the sport forward into modern day. Alongside him Neil Machin Steady hand, vastly experienced Speedway Promoter, paid all of his bills, rent and riders on time and never owed any money, would be the perfect foil for Jonathon Chapman. For me that would be the Dream Team, not too sure whether or not the brash Essex Boy and the blunt Yorkshireman would work together but for they are the two that could rescue the sport.

apology to workington speedway .
spin king replied to jenga's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Not sure why there was need for any apology really. Does anybody take Jenga seriously. -
I have no sympathy whatsoever for Richie Worrall. The man is very fond of using social media to have a go other riders, fans, tracks and other teams. Nothing wrong with been outspoken, but if you live by the sword you die by the sword.

Scorpions v Lakeside 22.6.18 7.30pm
spin king replied to ScunnyDan's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Did he make the effort to leave the track? -
Totally agree, but that away form has abysmal and if we are going to do anything this season we need to pick up some away points. The Promotion have stated that there will be changes not change so I would think that Gravensen and Lasse are looking likely to go.
-
In local press that the changes are not likely to take place before the Berwick fixture. Interestingly Broc Nicol is now in the Uk. So how about Broc Nicol for Gravensen. And Kai Huckenbeck for Lasse Bjerre. Huckenbeck did state at the start of the season that he was not interested in riding UK this season but people can change their mind.

World Championship Pairs
spin king replied to Mark's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Who gives a damn what the Poles or anyone else thinks. We sit at the top of the leader board after the first day, and are there on merit. The Poles from the very first race seemed jittery and nervous hence the double warning about starts. Tai was superb, leading the country to a strong possibility of a Gold medal (a long time since we truly looked like doing that on merit). Robert Lambert back brilliantly and seems toi have a great understanding with Tai, and we should carry on with this pairing no room for sentiment which means leaving Craig Cook on the sidelines Finally let hope that Tai is wearing his Union Jack underpants otherwise the haters will have something to batter the lad with. -
Berge was good at Sheffield but the chance to sign Lasse Bjerre on a lower average was a greater pull.

Glasgow Vs Edinburgh KO Cup 27/05/2018

Did not see that result coming, Glasgow seemed to have done all the hard work on Friday to win the tie. Looks like its not going to be the year of the Tiger either Scottish or the English. -
Sheffield v Workington SGBCL 24/5/18 @ 19.30
spin king replied to Blackadder's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Dimitri Berge is injured. -
Not the best GP I have ever seen, but the Marketa has been in the past very much gate and go. Few incidents to debate, My take Pedersen/ Lindgren no contact referee got the right decision. Janowski/ Sayfutdinov, Janowski ran into the back of Sayfutdinov correct decision. Lindgren/ Woffinden, very very tough move from Lindgren but just about fair but only just. Would have been very interesting to see what the decision would have been if Tai would have dropped the bike, I think Freddie may have seen his exclusion light come on.

Peterborough at home we track a full 1 to 7, or should I say we started with a full 1 to 7, we did not finished the night with a full 1 to 7.

Glasgow v Workington 13th May 4pm
spin king replied to Gazc's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I think the nature of the defeat and the score line I think it is impossible not to focus on your teams shortcomings, and looking at the top 2 scores been so low it has to be a worry. A massive decision coming up for the Comets, as to what they do when Mason Campton is fit and ready to return to race, do they stay loyal to Campton or do they stick with BWD. For me sticking with BWD would turn them from a decent team, into a team that could well put in a serious challenge for honours.
