Wolves v Panthers 13/9
speedwaysliders replied to noaksey's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Think people are being a bit unfair on Flint,he was giving everything but getting knowhere on that outside line.He has still had a great season and i would love it if he turned out to be a match winner in the coming weeks.Think the wolves track is going to be toatally different come the playoffs -
100% agree with you there,but with the super quick A22 to connect the 10 miles journey,ive just got this vision of shuttle bus sponsored shuttle bus to and from Arlington.Also places like seaford and even brighton 40 mins drive could be targeted.

maybe ive missed a lot of the info to the build up to this season,but does anyone think the sad passing of Jon Cook was the start of things to come,as he had so much knowledge of how to go about things and get them done,a massive loss to the sport let alone eastbourne.Also dont the Dugard family have any input into the running of the club? I really dont understand how Eastbourne get themselves in this mess time and time again when they have all the assets of the stadium to full back on,either to promote other things specially during the holiday season,it cant be that much differance to Poole who DONT own the stadium but have made a fine go of it over the years(i know they are even struggleing at the moment).I know that other fans done on the south coast,most prob wont enjoy what im about to say but why not ALL CLUB OWNERS just pull together and promote SPEEDWAY down there,trying to attract old fans to travel,and also promote new blood coming in.

Kings Lynn Stars v Sheffield Tigers 19/08/21
speedwaysliders replied to Bald Bloke's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Buster is Buster, ihavnt always seen eye to eye with what he does,but on this occasion you really should take his view on board if no one is willing to get out on the track and see.He must have close on 30 years worth of experience,so if he tells you the track is raceable,and no other option to test the track is taken up,surely you would give it a go,at least for the fans.ALSO cant you detune these so called rocket ships speedway bikes or even have a sysyem where you can get the engine in the old upright position if aload to do so. -
Kent v Eastbourne 03/08/21
speedwaysliders replied to BEATTHEBOOKIEBOB's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
How did Troy Batchelor look tonight? A strange quote from their match report on monday night when they won at Kings Lynn said this............ "Meanwhile Troy Batchelor was also clearly struggling for full fitness as he lost positions late in races and had medical treatment after the meeting, so Tigers will need to await updates before they visit Ipswich on Thursday." Sometimes in Speedway you dont know what to think!!!! -

Kent v Poole 27/7/21 6.30pm

Would Len Silver get the best out of Lewis Bridger if he returned to the sport?I have to say a bid yes. -
Is anyone losing interest
speedwaysliders replied to cityrebel's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I just think that all the ,fun,banter,health and safety rules,and most inportantly the characters in the sport,has been replaced by bland meetings that when riders turn up is just a number to them and move on to the next one, that if you speak out or raise your hand bag you get fined ,no pit phone to add a bit of spice to the meeting,even if the track served up crap racing,at least you had something to talk about!! AT Hackney where i started i was completely hooked not just by the racing but everything else that happened at the meetings with Andy Galvin and co always at the front of it.Today i look at a meeting and ask myself is it really worth the effort,maybe just to see a couple of good heats and nothing else. -
The trouble is and its great that Neil comes on here, but once your on that inner side of speedway ,it seems there is "i wont have a bad word to say about speedway" attitude.You just have to look at Neils posts,he wont have a negative thing to say about speedway,always defending the sport,i would love to know his honest opion at what happened to Coventry speedway,but sadly i dont think we will ever know how a well supported club ended up where it did.i trusted Sandu but looked what happened.I would love on a seperate topic to put questions to you Neil because its clear you love speedway,but i dont think i would get an honest open view of things.

I remember that but i thought it was Gordon Kennett,but my i cant rember yesterday.But a lot of fun in those days with Andy Galvin even if he wasnt involved in a race ,would always be in the thick of things with handbags flying machanic always by his side to support him.Great entertainment to spice things up with knowone really getting nasty.I miss those days,when the CarrBrothers,Brett saunders,m Fiora,M puzy coming down from up north.

Does Buster actually pay people to do this job?

ANY News on Lewis Bridger and what contract he signed at the start of the season!! Joking apart i for one was pleased to see Lewis back and give it a go again,hes an entertainer,and looking at what riders have put in since he went missing,well cameron Heeps or lewis.HAS ANYONE any infomation on Lewis and what hes going to do? With all that machinery invested,and also a lot of other people making it possible for his comeback,it would be nice to know whats roughly going on with him.

King's Lynn v Ipswich 05/07/21
speedwaysliders replied to Bald Bloke's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
.......But it would have been a good listen if they still had pit phones!!!! Trouble is we STILL dont know if the ref excluded Worell at the first attempt,it was just Nigel telling us!!!.ANYONE that went please can you clear up if the white exclusion light came on? -
Whatever the speedway ill watch,but does anyone think tonights line ups could be a championship match,with promotors paying premier league wages.Crazy .
