Dandelion

No no, I know what you mean, from a cost point of view it makes the most sense But from an entertainment point of view... I want to see the best 4 riders possible for each race, regardless if they're Ugandan, Bosnian or British... Would rather we have the best leagues in the world with lots of entertaining riders and teams than a lot of British riders for the world cup team/grand prixs, because that, other than just looking after your own riders, is the only reason to be developing Brits... Anyway, that's just my opinion And I wasn't directing "dirty" foreigners at you, but plenty of people have said it to me in the past (not on here) so it's just something I've come to live with and joke about xD And I was just making the point that I might have a different opinion because I'm not British

That's Aussie's for you...

I'd prefer to see the riders who are good enough for good races in the league... Although I am a dirty foreigner myself so maybe I don't see it the same way I think there's not enough young Brits around that are good enough... We need another way to nurture them, not just throw them into the deep end and expect them to swim... Maybe we have the fast track reserve thing that the EL had, have the reserves not count towards the points total, but say they have to be Brits with averages under 5, therefore people like Ashley Morris, Dan Bewley, Max Clegg and Liam Carr would be reserves instead of riders like JPB and Connor Coles when it's clearly too early for them... They should stick to the NL and the development leagues... The SDL would have been perfect for Connor Coles...

Connor Coles... 3 in the National League tonight, was he ok? Or did he simply just not score the points? The SpeedwayGB website just shows the numbers, not the situation and the Speedway Updates website didn't cover the meeting he was in...

So it was starting to get a little tight for time, maybe they just tried to rush it through... And thought finishing was more important than grading the track... Like they did in Latvia Oh, I completely agree, but sometimes, due to the weather or a number of different reasons, the track can't be perfect every week, I mean, I've never been to Ipswich, so I can't comment on what it's like week in week out... One crap meeting of riders going round and round is acceptable, but if it is constantly happening, they need to change something during the winter

This is what happens when the rules force young, not ready kids into the championship, they end up retiring or hurting themselves/others Just look at the crash Connor had in front of Aarnio at Newcastle... Inexperience caused that and experience was the only thing that stopped Tero ploughing straight into Connor... You shouldn't be allowed to ride in this league until you've had at least 3 years experience in the NL or at least a 8 point average in the NL at some point (Which Jack didn't have at the start of the year) .....Just an idea for a rule? Anyway, what about Jake Knight as a replacement? lol

Do people that high up in the sport even read this crap? They probably purposely avoid this website, along with most riders/promoters What time was it towards the end of the meeting?

"I may be being a little harsh wanting to drop these guys but the way I see it is every year we keep faith with riders and the teams that make the tough calls win silverware!" Couldn't say another thing more accurate about my team...

Can't have an Aussie at number 7 Unless you're Edinburgh of course

I agree, if a paying customer is not happy, it's not very good, but it's hard to keep EVERYONE in the stadium happy, at the end of the day, were the riders happy to go out and race on it... Because that's the most important thing...

Wouldn't people rather wait 10 minutes for them to sort the track out to make it interesting rather than just keep ploughing ahead with a crappy track? Then again, the meeting was so delayed at the beginning anyway, maybe they were worrying about the curfew...? Dunno when that is at Ipswich

Oops, didn't see that, sorry, just quoted the post I was answering when I was on page 5 and didn't bother reading page 6 because it's just full of people moaning about the track

22 I think, so not very young really, but not old of course... Danny Phillips is more of a prospect imo (I'm not hating on Connor, just think Danny will be better if he returns from his injuries well)

Haha, don't want to be confusing anyone now

You mean, they're a different team every week That didn't cost us, just our crap reserves in general did, even if they stopped on their bike, they wouldn't have scored, I expected Connor to do a little better, considering how much he rode Ipswich last year... But cannot stop on...

What's wrong with us signing Jake Knight too? We're not stuck with what we've got... 2 points from the reserves is just not good enough... And I feel with someone like Jake Knight at 7, we'd be more likely to get 4 or 5, which is just getting on for acceptable, especially with the top 5 we have... On another note, I see Steve is out new number 1, no surprise there...

Isn't the M for meeting?

You're right!! Jerry will make a comeback when I'm on my laptop, or if I can figure out how the bloody hell to do it on my phone!! I can't just name something and then abandon it like that So many easily confused people here... Including myself

Considering I'm a maths student in uni Haha... I was just over exaggerating (can't think of the right word), because he falls a lot... I didn't mean it literally... A bit pedantic

But you'll get used to it soon Or might the loss of Jerry the Kangaroo be too great of a loss?

Nope, just Dandelion

SHHHHHHHHHH, Let me feel smart with English words for 10 minutes or so

I might explode from confusion in a minute O.o

No, just talking to me is like banging your head against the wall (That's the best I could come up with xD)

How do you mean?
