  1. Should have got a medal today but Lyon used our Joker in the wrong place ....two years now without a medal now pretty poor show with the side we got .
  2. Sky + not got down your neck of the woods yet then
  3. Don't give up hope yet ...If England can Bowl out Pakinstan in the morning then Sky would have a spare space to show the speedway .
  4. What like Thomas Bush And Chris Neath last night ? In the pl your getting riders who don't turn up for meetings because that have not got a bike as well riders being sick at Airports when they don't want get a average .
  5. There is no ambition because there is nothing to be ambitious about that is what the debate is about ...giving Pl teams the cream of the meetings is hardly going to change that . In football all the teams want to get the top because the rewards are there that is why people think speedway is a joke as teams want to stay in a lower league thats got to change .
  6. I said two Pl clubs ...Newport and Workington . i never even knew Mildenhall were in the pl any more who rides for them ?
  7. Only in the last couple of weeks two teams have made nosies about closeing due to losing money ....Both of those have been Pl clubs in fact one of those clubs had a Crowd of 266 ! ....The El is far from perfect but it's speedway in general that is in trouble not just the El .
  8. Of course it had plenty to do with leagues ..it was saying you stay in the Pl and will still give you big meetings ....There is little reason and not many carrots to try to make teams better themselfs and move up . Speedway will always be look at as a joke while big Teams like Kings lynn are happy to race at a lower standard (not that i blame them ) giving the big meetings to El clubs is one way of trying to buck that trend .
  9. It's been explained about 500 times that it's nothing about what the track is like or weather Buster Chapman and co can stage a meeting like this . It's about rewarding ambition in league terms quite simple .
  10. And Where was the crowd tonight ? it was worst than a sky El tv match .
  11. Yep the first 18 or so heats tonight were better than Kings lynn ...the racing there looked better because of the bigger crowd and the fact that team Gb were doing well as well as the scores being close overall .
  12. Glug Glug Glug ...without Adams And Crump the Aussies stated acting like kids and paid the price .
  13. You seen Kl teams of late ? the foreigners that Pl teams p**s away money on and not even good enough to be 3rd rate .
  14. Yet again another who misses the point... there not a problem with the stadium or the track it's weather Pl team should be rewarded with an a event as such as this . We all know that Kings Lynn have a better track ,Stadium and better crowds than some Elite teams so it begs the question why are they in Divsion 2 and these other teams in divsion one in the first place ?and the answer is they don't need to as there is no reward to, and if you get gigs like this for being a division to side nothing ever going to change .
  15. Do you ? not in this format you don't ...from what i could see on monday is that Harris and Nicholls still never looked liked they were getting on .....ive seen more gel on Kojak head . The reason we did better this year is that Lyon pick his best side rather last years load of rubbish .
  16. Bagpuss i unrstand why teams don't want to go up and I don't blame them ....but there is no other sport i n the world that teams want to be a second divsion club rather than being in the top league ....the point is that Speedway has to make the Top league the place to be and for that to happen the rewards must be there for the teams to step up .....Giving Pl teams events like this it not going to help .
  17. Why are teams loathe to go up ? because there are no rewards to that the whole point about giving Pl teams events like this . As i said before i quite understand why Teams Like Kl don't want to move up ..and giving them no reason to it's never going to happen .
  18. Why would anyone been sick ? my point why Pl tm's and tracks not getting these gigs still stand ...Speedway will never get any better in the Uk while we give events and jobs to a massive club who ambition in league speedway is to beat Berwick 60-30 each week . As normal last night people got carried away by the meeting the racing was poor for 75 % of the night and we beat teams who had there best riders missing .
  19. To be fair most World cup matches in The uk have been good, last years At Boro a El track was one of the best and a lot better than tonight ....the First 14 or 15 heats tonight were some of the most boring ive seen in a long time and then it got better near the end helped to look a better because Team Gb won . Kings Lynn put on a good show tonight but lets not get carried away .
  20. Think he was spot on the first 14 or 15 heats hardly had a pass ...it was only the latter part of the meeting that the racing was good and to be fair it was very good .
  21. Poor start to the meeting but the meeting has got better as it's gone along .
