Cardiff Wild Card
Steve Shovlar replied to stevehone's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Absolutely. He should be told before the final that winning it doesn't mean he wins the wildcard. That will go to a Brit. -
Premier Sport Swedish & Polish League
Steve Shovlar replied to Trevor's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Well I watch the Polish Extraleague live on N Sports and as a complete neutral I watch for the whole event, not just the racing. Theres lots that British speedway could learn from the way the Polish league is run. If a meeting says it starts at 1.45 pm, the riders are at the tapes for heat 1 at 1.45 pm. Every time. In the UK riders shuffle out within 5 minutes of 7.30 pm, then faff around kicking the start line, then practice starts etc and the first race is at 7.47. Or 7.53. Or theres a delay as an old man in the crowd has tied the doctor up. Everything in Poland is gear for the max. Crowds, music, mic man, advertising, start girls wriggling and blowing kisses to the camera. Well worth watching. -
Lewis has done very well. Far better than most including me expected. But I think Kyle should come back. Having seen both ride there's little between them but just feeel Kyle has the edge. He seems more supple on a bike. Lewis tends to look a little stiff. Whatever the decision Lewis has done a very good job and I am sure if Matt can't offer him a place he will be snaffled up pretty quickly by another club.

So the massive project is that he has got his wife pregnant? Really? Thought that was the norm. Hardly a massive project. Building a house is a massive project. Starting a company from scratch and employing 100 people is a massive project. Having a baby is not. It happens to most people, from those on the dole to those with plenty of money. The result is sleepless nights and lots of joy, but massive project it is not. Its just life. If you stick your dinkle in a certain place enough times that is what happens. What a let down. Thought he had done a deal with the bspa, and was finally going to give something back to the country that gave him the break in the first place, by helping Neil Vatcher train up the kids. But then it was obvious it was nothing to do with anyone else. With Woffinden it seems its always woffy woffy woffy.

Disagree. Hans has been in dive bombing mode most of this season. He has come charging under riders entering the first and third bends since the start of the season. Quite agressive to be honest. -

No there is nothing clearly wrong at Poole. Hans went to get changed but spent nearly ten minutes talking to the tractor guy about grading. That clearly delayed him getting changed and back for the track walk. -

The way KASPER woryna is riding he would be a great addition. Ripping it up tonight on tv. A young lad who wanted to ride over here. And connections with the club through his father as well. -
I am now up and running with wizja.tv on kodi. Their website is diabolical. But as they are stealing all the links like sportsnationhd I guess they don't give a crap. I don't think the feed is hd. More a good sd with no buffering and a cut above the internet streams. A shame sportsnationhd don't cover these channels. They do cover virtually everything else.

Hans went to get changed just before they came out for the track walk. -
The system is working and riders are coming through. More could be done granted but we are on a very limited budget compared to Poland. Its just the way it is. We don't have unlimited track time, neither do we have unlimited finances to spend on the youngsters. I have often wondered whether the bspa should apply to the Sports Council for funding.
-
They have commited to Neil Vatcher who is doing an excellent job with the youngsters. He has gone on record saying that nearly everything he has asked for he has got. Perhaps Woffinden should contact Neil Vatcher and offer his services. Neils in charge of the kids.

No good looking to Janowski his form is as bad as KKs. Same applies to Lindback. Options like Milik or Madsen not likely to happen as they don't need the extra meetings. Not easy at all to find a big hittervwilling to come over at short notice. -
I see you are back trying to defend Woffinden. Not many left now wanting to do that but your perogative. Most have seen the way he has treated British speedway with distain and have made their minds up on the guy. And yes you are right, if he turned up at Poole it would certainly P me off, though start to put things right with a return to the country that taught him how to ride a bike.

Never heard of Matt Ford paying a rider a wage instead of points money. -

Holder scored tonight exactly as expected. He repeated his performance as he scored similar in the playoffs for Poole at Monmore last season. He hates the place. -

Because he has a full calendar at weekends with his grasstrack and longtrack meetings.
