  1. Didn't take long to pull back those ten points. Very one sided start. Torun being thrashed out of the starts.
  2. Hoping that Torun can hold on but think the home side will just edge it. That 5-1 in heat 15 of the first leg was crucial.
  3. Its unfair on other clubs when a team can field Zmarzlik at reserve, all season. The teams that get the young stars are always going to do well, and makes the league unbalanced. The Aliez stream is great. But The kodi streams are better. Don't forget you can stick kodi on an Amazon firestick and be up and running in no time. No adverts, flash popups or any other irritant to get in the way of your viewing.
  4. The picture through kodi is usually HD, but all I can find is a SD picture. If i stream the aliez stream onto my tv it is much lower quality than the sd feed I am watching.
  5. I guess you are right as our points difference is better.
  6. This Tuesday sees the end of the league campaign for Poole at Kings Lynn. The weather is set hot with daytime temperatures due to hit a scorchio 28 degrees. No chance of a rainoff. Poole have Tungate pencilled in but will miss Andersen who only dropped a point around there last time. Tungate is certainly not a great replacement for Hans. This could be a very important meeting or have absolutely nothing hanging on it, depending on the result at Belle Vue 24 hours earlier. If Poole win at Belle Vue and get the points, and to be honest its a very long shot, then a 4 point repeat here will give us top spot and choice of who we meet in the semis. For Kings Lynn, the meeting might be the opportunity to get revenge from the A fixture. They are certainly stronger now Schlein has made way for Porsing. Thoughts?
  7. Holder is too far back to win it, like Woofinden. Doyle rides UK so gets my vote.
  8. Rather have Doyle win this year than Woffinden. Doyle rides in the EL. Woffinden uses it as some sort of stay fit league.
  9. Looking at the final again Doyle managed a clear run on the outside to gather speed. Not once was his run blocked as the rest stuck on the inside of the track so his speed just increased and he blasted past them.
  10. Well done Doyle great around the boards ride. Fully deserved. The best rider in the world at this current time.
  11. But didn't Woffinden say earlier this season he was only 74% and would step it up when it matters? Errr, perhaps that was a load of BS and he isn't as good as the two others leading him? He could always blame it on returning to the EL.
  12. Bye bye woofy world title is going down the swanny. Why did he chose yellow? Crazy as the inside has been working all night.
  13. Doyle misses the gate comes nowhere. Poor meeting in the scheme of things. Gavin has trouble in stringing a lucid sentence together. A big bug. At last a good race in heat 19.
  14. Use the online service from bt if you have bt legitimately. Just log in with user/pass and watch it.
  15. Looks like Woffindens reign as world champion is coming to an end this evening. Needs a miracle to get back into the challenge. Worst GP of the year imo. Perhaps it will liven up at the end.
  16. Doyle showing the rest how to get out of the star consistently. Be a worthy world champ who rides in the UK. Rather him than Hancock. OK here. Reboot everything.
  17. Why should we care? Is he riding for Wolves next year?
  18. There is nothing on this track. Gaters paradise at the mo. You miss the start in the words of Private William Hudson, 'game over, man'!
  19. Ok folks for those that wish to watch this from the youtube hd stream. If you are on apple ipad or iphone, download freevpn from the app store. Open it. Choose east coast usa. Connect. Go to the stream and enjoy in HD and cast it to your tv. Takes two mins and a hd stream. So far the track living up to its reputation. Flat and the inside gates are king.
  20. Got it in one. An injury on a bike. It might look exciting seeing him pull all these weird moves but that is not the way to do it. Its just asking for a crash or injury. Unless he sorts out his riding style, just like Bridger, he will only go so far. And personally I think he has got as far as he is going to go unless he learns to ride a bike correctly.
  21. Absolutely disagree. Far from me to stick up for the Lakeside reack, which I don't like, but it is in a completely different class to the atrocious Leicester track. By atrocious I don't mean by the way it is prepared, but the shape of the track which means the race is over by the second bend. I have been to Leicester 4 times now, and there won't be a fifth whilst that track is in situ. It's a waste of £17 to watch 4-5 seconds of racing per heat. A drag race to the first bend. The thought that when the riders start to head down the back straight of the first lap, the rest of the race is meaningless bar the rare engine failure or fall. Whether or not the club has no money, the one thing that will get fans through the door is the knowledge that they will be entertained with quality racing. The track just does not allow that to happen. The track alterations over the last winter do not seemed to have solved the issue either. If a new promotion is coming in and taking over the running of the speedway, it must be their priority to alter the track shape before the start of next season. If the new tenant does it Helmsley can't say no as it won't cost him. Speculate to accumulate.
