  1. We know you do. And we know one mupet is not representative of the rest of you.
  2. We have a pro-EU PM, do you really think much is going to change? And how many Swedes, Danes and Poles can't average 5 in the PL? Hardly going to lose out on any great talents are we? Might stop clubs risking it for future gain though if they do have to get a minimum of 5, but isn't that a BSPA rule now anyway? Can't drop below 5?
  3. If I was a rider I'd just ride through the tapes in this situation. If you can't go around the tapes any more then you have to go through them.
  4. Another World Championship wildcard for Lindgren. He must be a few ahead of Harris by now?
  5. Looking at that line up, and having loved what I've seen of Gustrow before I'm actually weirdly excited to watch a SEC meeting!
  6. Fricke is flying this year and could not be ignored. The Swedes and Poles are impressed by him. Was chatting to a Rospigana fan on Saturday and he was waxing lyrical about Fricke. Asked him about future Swedes and he rolled his eyes back and told me all hopes are pinned on Thorssell and if he doesn't do anything AJ could have 10 more years in the GP series. Really hoping the Americans make the race-off! I'll be an American for the day with Fisher and Janniro in the team
  7. Brandon Stadium is the longest running, current active speedway stadium in the UK. What more proof is needed that it's viable? It's not being closed down due to a lack of numbers, it's being closed down because of one mans greed (and probably because he was fecked over by the speedway establishment) so don't pin Coventry closing down on the fans, it's ultimately Sandhu and not helped by Patchett, Ford and Adams doing their best to screw over Sandhu in 2010/2011.
  8. Top guys say they'll ride over here fi we had squads. We'll get squads and they'll have another excuse. They're all mercenaries (like the rest of us!) who only go to work if the money is right.
  9. You're kidding right? This forum is 80-90% criticising!
  10. The answer to point one, is the last line of your post. Why turn up to support a club that is an "unprofessional joke" that has no passion? If they management can't be bothered to provide a half decent team and don't care why bother?
  11. For me I'd be looking at Roynon for Sarj just because doing that means Mads K can for for Woryna. KK, Harris, King, Korneliussen, Garrtiy/Barker, Bates and Roynon. After 2 away meetings theres half a chance Sarj would fit back in again if needs be. Because as much as I like Adam and despite his two good meetings he's not as good as Sarj these days. And we come from 12 behind to beat Poole last time
  12. We should be allowed and even as a Chris Harris fan I'm happy to discuss them, in fact I could probably list a lot more areas for improvement than you Theres no deny it, Bomber has many faults as well as many great attributes but on track, Bomber has very few faults. The guy gets his head down and races his backside off. Slightly annoyingly he does seem to have rewritten the book of excuses and I do with he'd sometimes either say nothing or just admit, "I was was rubbish".
  13. How much longer do we have to keep Woryna?
  14. They can only replace a 1-5 rider. Busk-Jakobsen is a 1-5 rider but he rides in reserve. So Huckenbeck should have rode in reserve.
  15. no. No such rule despite people constantly repeating it. Rule is they can only replace a 1-5 rider. No it's not.Why's doesn't Woryna sod off? Take Havvy with him too.
  16. You might be right. Anyway, I'd hope that if Hampel is back for the next GP Freddies 34 is achievable for Bomber, he'd only need 14 from 6 GPs, even he's not that bad that 2 points a meeting is beyond him, is he?
  17. Unless things have changed reserves and wildcards don't count in the classification. Even if Freddie makes top 8 he still won't qualify. It's official positions that matter, so Harris is 15th at worst
  18. Maybe you missed it but the GPs are thriving, British Speedway is not. Woffy is in the GPs, he's not in the British league. That suggests he IS working.
  19. Chatting to some Swedes sat in front of us on Saturday they have high hopes for Jacob Thorsell. When I say high hopes, I was told if he doesn't make it Sweden are screwed for the foreseeable future!
  20. Highest averaged Brit in the Peterboorugh team maybe! Kennett 8.67 Harris 8.1 Lambert 7.86 Newman 7.76* Worrall 7.55* Lawson 7.45 Cook 7.31 Nicholls 7.22 *Mainly reserve All averages with bonus points as they're a better guide to riders form/level/worth. Without bonus points Nicholls goes above though for the record. http://speedway-stats.co.uk/Averages/2016/1
  21. I support him as he British but don't really like him. Mainly for the reason you state, the way he has treated British speedway. Maybe it was all to steal the limelight but to do that, people must be interested in what he's doing, if they were not then they'd not pay any attention would they?
  22. So fecking what? Tell you what, ban him and then we can all moan about the lack of characters in the sport and spunk our pants over Greg "boring" Hancock.
  23. I've heard and read people calling him an embarrassment in the last few days. Well he's IS #15 in the World in 2016 at worst now whatever happens, he HAS qualifier for the 2016 GP series. That means every other speedway rider but the top 14 must be beyond embarrassing. Former World #6, GP winner. Multi-GB Champion. How many of todays riders would honestly not swap their career for his? So as a Chris Harris fan I'm proud of what he's achieved. I'm proud that the guy DOES NOT give up, ever, be it in a single race or that pie int he sky dream of being World Champion. I'm proud that he puts British speedway first, I'm proud that he turned up and ride anywhere and everywhere he can. One thing I have never been as a Chris Harris fan is embarrassed. Disappointed many time, frustrated a lot but never embarrassed. Long may Bomber continue to do what he does, entertain and WOW us at league level and continue to fight for a World Championship.
  24. In signing Joonas and MJJ he has shown he can make bloody good signing if he has to!
