Letter In This Weeks Speedway Star
orion replied to topaz325's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Spot on ..standard moaning about things you can't do much about and not giving any suggestions or how things could be better .. Sounds like he should join the forum . Hardly a eye opener more like same old same old . -
Newport v Swindon in a pl match some years ago when Rosco was at reserve for Swindon ...at least 20 re runs 5 track grades and around 4 and a half hours ...I think there might have been a junior match after as well .

You said it on a Wolves topic I think a few weeks back ...you comment was that Puk scores were poor in the uk because he tired .Thou he was scoring well in Sweden and Poland . As I said at the time is he only tired when he's in the uk ? . It's common sense that riders and going to invest and are going to need better engines etc where the money Is .. So as I said Tai poorer equipment or lack of money spent is in the uk .Hence why he so slow this year and has got a 7 point average while in the rest of the world he is doing very well and super quick .

Does it ? it infers that they have there better bikes at the places where it is more important .. Do you really think that Woffy has the same standard equipment in the uk as he has in Poland in Sweden etc . What makes me laugh is when people like you say riders are not scoring well in England because there tired but then the next night score 15 in Sweden v much better riders .

Why would anyone talk about the X Factor as it's not a sport like Darts or Speedway ...No one ever said that Speedway was easy or having a fast bike was the only requirement but it's common sense that without certain speed you are going to do very well no matter how good you are . -
What did you and Ouch appear in ? Dumb and Dumber ...

Not a chance Woffy bikes had unreal speed and make a average rider a World Champion . I have my doubts that they were even legal . Another away to look at if all bikes were standard would have he had won ? not a chance -

So when you get a engine tuned etc it costs the same money no matter who you go to ? . No matter how Woffy done it his bikes were quicker than the others so as I said it was not pure skill it's as much about your bikes or cars in Motor racing. -

How many bikes, engines etc do you think Rickardsson had in the old days ? sure your going to get it right all the time but it's gives you a much better chance . Do you think in f1 that the teams with the more money have more chance of getting the set up right ? of course they do . Unless you have standard bikes or standard cars etc then Motor Sport is never going to pure skill -
At least try to make an effort so we might not think your not Drop a Clanger .

Tai Woffiden would not have won the world title unless he had and could afford those super quick engines he had last year the same as Lewis H would not be leading the world champion in f 1 if was he in another team . On the other anyone can buy the same Darts as Phil Taylor uses . So as I said Darts is pure skill while Motor Sport is not . -
Have to say a great Whoosh from Ouch ..anyone would think that he was Drop a Cog

Darts is classed as a sport it's as simple as that ..unlike speedway it's pure skill rather than who has the fastest bike . -

The Lions have had there best year money wise in the El this year by all accounts ..Clubs find it hard it all leagues and club tend to go bust because they are poorly run as a rule ... Brum lost a packet in the PL Boro have done the same this year . One of the biggest problems we have is thinking that the PL is doing well . -
You are but you say the same thing about 100 times ...As he said move on .

Who are these people who think everything is ok ..I never meant one are there are sure none on here ...I would hardly call people rose tinted for saying that don't find it boring that a team comes to your track twice in a year .... -

If only you known that teams could have meant 6 or 8 times a season years ago ...you could have been a millionaire by now. -

It may well be but it's hardly because the same team comes twice in a season is it .... put your brain in gear . -

orion replied to customhouseregular's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Why is it boring ? hardly overkill seeing the same side twice at your home track in a season it is ...Why in a nine team league would the team come round every week ? How many times have Berwick been at Edinburgh this year by the way ? As for the scores being the same I went see Swindon v Cov in April and see a cov win then later in the season September ( that's the next week in your world ) and saw Swindon win with Ease .. I see Poole crushed cov in the sky match the other night what was the score first match between the two sides at Brandon by the way ? -
I sure most people do . My point was that it's no big deal to get the World cup final and are only chance of having it here is when this stadium is built ... it's been at Smellmead and Boro in the past and Even Bewick host big under 21 events etc .

Been plenty of talk about Kl getting the final hardly massive crowds for the finals ....to be fair it's a final that no one really wants and and it's no big deal if you get it .
