those posts are all in the Ipswich 2014 thread where we were talking about all 3 away meetings.

It will be tough for either of them to qualify but all the best to both of them. Back the Brits!!

in reality Tays average hasnt dropped at all. It is down to rolling averages. Before his arm injury he had an ave of 6.99. After his return his rolling ave was 5.99. However his actual scores after his return were way down and his ave from those in isolation was about 4.5. Add to that another year out with the broken leg and Id say it not a surprise that to date he is around 4.5. Get his head in gear and keep his equipment in shape and he has a fair bit of improvement in him - especially from reserve.

of course but the original declaration has to have been submitted. eg Josh G or guest and the facility for Wells

Thats a big shame all round. I for one was hoping to see him in the return fixture next month.

The line ups should be known by now. Under the regs the home side should declare 5 days ahead.

certainly not relying on it as I think my comments suggest. Any news on how much longer Berge will be out for?

That is very different. The track curator deliberately only going over only the home gates consistently is poor sportsmanship. That posistion to an extent should be impartial.Its down to the referee to ensure fair grading takes place. A rider preparing his own grid is part of the game. If he had been tampering with ruts in the other positions there could be a case.

didnt realise that. Could swing it a bit our way - perhaps only a14 point defeat! wink

Scunny is somewhere we rarely perform well at but they are very inconsistent so could be anywhere between a sneaky narrow win or a 20+ defeat. Jorgensen at reserve will be the key depends if he scores 5 or 15. The same could be said for the trip to Workys walking(or not in some cases) wounded. I wouldnt put my house on getting a point at either. Glasgow in theory is the one where we should be targeting a win but they will bouyed by their cup success and be looking at making it back to back home wins. I will go for 3 points overall but without pinning any on to a particular meeting.

bloody kids nowadays -thats the road sign showing the way to Kings Lynn he has stolen.

I thought much of it was just tongue in cheek fun. Tai was relaxed and ready to race. Whilst everyone was faffing between the re runs he was just amusing himself. I didnt see him do anything to interfere with any part of the start the other 3 would use. If he had the time to get a rake and a shovel then why not. If the 2 mins was ticking he wouldnt have. Ive seen it a Foxhall this year where other team members have gathered handfuls of loose stuff from near the fence to pack into gate 1 for the rider nominated in heat 15 so its not unique.

I think its that a rider with an assessed average cannot be a guest.

from what I have be told of Tays general facebook posts you need to take eveything with a tablespoon of salt rather that just a pinch at the best of times! Much ado about nothing I reckon.

Just as well the World Cups not in Worky. Best wishes Gary Lewin!

Is there even a provision for a ban in the regs anyway? Or a points deduction or any redress other than a fine for that matter.

it wasnt the move itself - it was one you would expect from many a rider although Nicki has a special knack for it. It was the total disregard for a fellow riders well being after the incident,the cowardly kick and speed off and the total lack of any decency to accept his fault in the pits with the sneering goading added to boot. As per my first comment - what a tosser. All that said I agree its far from all bad for sport. The GPs will miss him when hes gone although few fellow riders will.

Separated at birth - Nicki P and Uraguays right back. wink

and quite possibily they would be right on both counts........but the bit on the brown stuff was as good as anything you will see over the next 4 weeks on the green stuff.

probably Youtube by now.

Not acceptable IMO. Best wishes to Kyle.

Super pass by Tai. Top night of Speedway all round bar the shameful Nicki.

What a tosser!

If the rest of the night is like heat 1 then this is gonna be a classic!

one has to be r/r though under current rules.6 would be a decent effort though! Could happen in the EL. Leicester will come close in the next couple of weeks.
