  1. Makeshift ? 1 guest in worrall . 6 of the 7 are riding tonight ? agreed wallinger signing is a joke .
  2. Morris has been injured for almost 2 months and does not know when he is likely to return . If fit we would not of replaced him.Also there is a few months difference in age between morris and Garrity .
  3. A team with wallinger and Agertoft in the Championship would not win a raffle , When i was first told i thought it was a joke. sadly not.
  4. 18.10 A GUEST RIDER (G) replaces an absent regular Team Member subject to the following: 18.10.1 If the absent rider, with an established MA, is in the Top 1 – 5 of the Team, then the Missing rider’s MA will be enhanced by + 5% at a Home Meeting to determine the allowance for the Guest rider. I have answered my own question . Yes we get an extra 5%. On this basis we have 8.07 for Adam so Charles fits . For Aarnio we are allowed 7.056 so Barker or Rasmus Jensen would be a great guest .
  5. Just Read Ben Barker has the week off so he wont be guesting . What is the rule regarding having a guest in your home meeting do you get a bit more than there average ? Adam Ellis is 7.69 and Charles Wright is 7.77 . I am sure i read you get an extra 5% for a guest at home maybe a old rule. Jordan Stewart would be a ok guest for Ash Morris suppose . I do not know really Jensen for Aarnio if that home averagge rule applys ?
  6. Good to see Danny pick up 4 points from 3 rides . Made the difference in the end maybe.
  7. needs a big shake up starting with the team manager .
  8. well done Redcar well deserved hope your travelling fans have a safe journey home . Birmingham well what can i say ?
  9. Fair enough buddy . I just listened again to the interview with him last night . He asked the riders about doing a tactical sub and they said not to bother .who the heck is the manager ??? He then says he did not bother doing any tactical switches because it would make no difference. He then says he gave our NL guest all 4 rides because the poor lad had come all the way from Ipswich and scored no points . Now i ask anyone do you think this is the correct or acceptable way to manage a team ?? If a manager just comes out after and says i got it wrong or i made the wrong call then fair enough . i can accept that . But if you dont admit to your mistakes you can never learn from them. Thinking your never wrong is not a successful trait .All successful sports people highlight their weaknesses and work on improving them.
  10. I do not question that he is a nice guy i indeed think he is. my comments are solely on a professional basis not a personal one . I again completely agree we have had rotten luck out of his control and he does not control the purse strings. He was a rider set up for 2020 and opted to bring him in early due to budget is what Laurence said. It still does change the fact to come out and say i did not bother because it made no difference is appalling and rubs off on other people.
  11. I heard Rogers on the Speedway tavern last night who said he made no tactical changes vs Glasgow because it would of made no difference. Now if i was in charge i would sack to guy on the spot for that comment. That is a absolutely awful attitude not just in speedway or sport but in life . What does that say to the riders ? what if the supporters took the same attitude ? were not gonna win so why bother going ? Its with this attitude and mentality probably why he has won ZERO in his whole speedway career.
  12. Ok who scores higher toe to toe ? Ellis - Riss = Ellis Agertoft- Anderson =anderson Castagna -Toft = 50/50 imo at pb . Ayres - Stewart = Ayres R/R - Allen = Allen Hume- Woolley = Hume Shanes - Greaves = Shanes That is why i think it will be very close . Interesting to see how others think and yes i know this means nothing but its just a little illustration to why i think its evenly matched . I think Birmingham need to get minimum of 6 points from the 4 r/r rides. I also heard Rogers on the Speedway tavern last night who said he made no tactical changes vs Glasgow because it would of made no difference. Now if i was in charge i would sack to guy on the spot for that comment. That is a absolutely awful attitude not just in speedway or sport but in life . What does that say to the riders ? what if the supporters took the same attitude ? were not gonna win so why bother going ?

  13. Shocking rubbish for anyway who is attending i feel sorry for them .
  14. Drugs and riders under the influence of such substances is nothing to make light about . I find CVS attitude in this episode awful and extremely unprofessional. If Kyle had injured himself or another rider and the test been done after the meeting i doubt very much if anyone would be laughing. If owners or promoters cannot take this issue seriously why would the riders ? Why does he think that if it is in fact found in night nurse that that is ok ? Regardless of what it is found in it is on the BANNED list and if the sport whats to be taken seriously Kyle needs to be banned for a period of time. I am not a professional sportsperson but i know that what is in night nurse is on the banned list . Unfortunately there is no excuse for failing a drugs ban particaularry if the substance has been on the list since it was introduced . Maybe the riders and particularly the promoters need to go on a course to educate themselves on it .
  15. No not at all that is what i thought is there likely to be any more movement in our averages by that date ? I do not mind them taking there time tbh . I know a lot of people do not like R/R but for a couple of meetings its OK . Few more quid for our other riders covering his rides hopefully.
  16. Snooze you lose in the averages out today we have 2 points less to replace zach unless we wait till July .
  17. Ellis Aarnio Morris Stoneman This is the 4 selected for the championship fours at Peterborough.
  18. Not at all bud i know you have well balanced opinions the majority of the time.
  19. Ben Morley has been riding NL speedway for 10 years now if he was going to kick on i think he would of done by now . Georgie has only been riding since 2015 i think so surely comparing them is a little unfair. Sings i am afraid you wont like this . NL racing is on the whole is pretty boring far too much difference in rider ability i am afraid . As i have said before you can fill out the programme before you go and be 95% right . Riders like ben,geogre,clegg etc should not be in it now tbh. I would not of gone and payed to watch it tbh this season had we remained in the NL . As for same amount of falls come on there are far more in NL the stoppages in the championship are for crashes because the riders are so close together. fortunately in the NL you just get fallers because because most heats are so strung out there is never normally another rider anywhere near.
  20. I see Ben Barker has put on Facebook back on track today ? Has he signed for someone or has he got a guest booking hmmm
  21. Die hards are the only reason British speedway exists.
