Racin Jason 72

Jake is guesting for Sheffield today so looks like he is ok.

If you said to a speedway fan..... last night there was a big crash caused by reckless riding who do you think was involved. Bates or Garrity would be the answer 9 times out of ten

Genuine question. Do Poole speedway own a water bowser or do they rely on using a hosepipe. I think Tim stone at Newport watered the track with a hose instead of a bowser. Peterborough have a slurry tanker to soak there track. That’s very effective

Any news on Jake Allen ?? I know he rode at Peterborough on Sunday but only had two rides before Scunthorpe getting eliminated.

Perhaps Simon could replace jack Thomas at Leicester now he has taken a break from racing

Are you able to replace proctor with Riss average wise ??

I’m guessing the change of race day has been disastrous.

Awful looking track already

Middlo spoke about extensive track work needing doing. Has this happened as yet ?

Had it been on I’m sure Doyle and batchelor would have been keen to ride on a wet track

Yes second to bomber

Why have rider replacement at 5 when you have to use a reserve in 3 of the rider replacement rides. Madness !!!!

I’d be very surprised if we do. He was signed as there are no other riders willing or suitable so I’m guessing he will stay. Ive been pleased with his efforts but obviously we need more points from him.

Full credit to Eastbourne for being up front and honest. Much rather have the truth than some yarn about power failure/ stadium unavailability etc etc

My money is on Simon Lambert

Does anyone have a recording of the BT Sport coverage of this meeting that they could put on a dvd. Obviously I’ll pay for disc and postage. Anyone who could help please pm me. Thanks in advance jason

I would suggest none of the clubs were left in a better state after micks efforts. And im certain Sandhu chose Mick as a promoter as he knew he would mess up and ultimately take the blame for closing the place.

Mick Horton slipped through the net several times. Killed Peterborough twice mildenhall once and Coventry once. Team manager at Oxford whilst his brother killed that club.

I think the difference is the witches fans had low expectations and Peterborough’s original team was far stronger than what they ended up with.

Jimmy nilsen went to live in America I believe

Sheffield used to be a brilliant track as did kings lynn but both seem to be a shadows of their former glories. I think the bikes are now going flat out and the older tracks are too narrow with the greater speeds Belle Vue has proved on the right shape and size brilliant racing can be produced but unfortunately all of the old stadiums have size constraints. Somerset and Scunthorpe are both brilliant tracks built in wide open spaces. Won’t mention Leicester

Yes quite considerably up which I’m surprised about. We have a team that works as a team and although we won’t be topping the table we are getting lots of effort and entertainment. I think we will do well at home and get several thrashings away.

Bang on. But you won’t find a nicer guy and he is a really good captain. I watched Danny since he was 15 at mildenhall and the negatives are he doesn’t look round or team ride. However the positives outweigh all that and I’m happy we have him at Ipswich.

Danny can’t team ride to save his life. Doesn’t ever look behind til the 4th lap. He tried a few seasons ago at Ipswich and got passed so doesn’t bother anymore

What happened to the contract that got sent in the post ??? Must have sent it via pigeon
