Endeavour

Thanks

What match is on first please ?

We make mock, I had a wry smile but I know where I would like to be sitting in the league and it ain’t where we are. Well done Sunny, seemed to have adapted better to the conditions.

Bit like teams that drop out of Champions league qualifier and have safety net of Europa league. Saying that most current gp riders are a lot better that majority of GP qualifiers in Croatia, hence their right to compete.

As is his right but must have been hugely out of pocket.

Should be open to all. But ...... Surely likes of Bomber should take stock and call time on GP aspirations. Said before and will say it again riders who compete in div 2 of British Speedway will never be world champion and would struggle to be in top 8 GP riders. Easy money but does not enhance GP chances when you don’t ride abroad. Woffinden was spot on when he said that.

A lot being said by a lot of people who weren’t there, I include my self in that. A firmer and more experienced referee perhaps should have nipped this in the bud at track parade. re announcer, no one was a bigger stirrer in his time than Michael Max ( stand in Tigers team manager) when he was on mike at Ashfield although he was one of the best when engaging with riders. I am a great fan of Cookie but if what many has said is true he has to take responsibility and take his punishment. It has been a very challenging few weeks since SON but there can be NO excuses for the alleged behaviour. Maybe needs to take a step back and take stock of things (this decision could obviously be made for him) If his wrist is causing him problems should have withdrawn from SON that weekend and immobilised the wrist for 8 to 10 days which seems to be the treatment for a broken carpal bone. Great rider when in the blue n gold. So sad to see this.

Get a grip.

Where was Max then? Would have thought they wouldn’t have tracked two riders that were kicking off during meeting in heat 15?

Peter Facenna to be commended for apologising to the supporters. Disappointed if Cookie has done what has been said on Match updates. Where was Cami Brown , team manager when the riders were kicking off? Surely he should have told them to get a grip.

Sad to hear about Paul. good man to have in your team , solid and a trier. Hard to replace.

A shout out to Danny Ayres. Gave it his all and wasn’t scared to ride the boards. Spoke to him very briefly after meeting and a nice guy. Good interaction with fans too. Solid start for James deserved a paid win. need reserves to try and pick up a point or two more.

Think arrived day of home match. May be wrong

So Willie rides on . Talent is there but shocking lack of investment in equipment has cost us some league points. Heard a whisper last week that we could be interested in James but thought Willie would go. hope it works out but I think the boy’s heart is with Glasgow. cant say I am a fan of this hiring and firing, sign of the times in all sports. Should have pushed to have Sam for Newcastle away in cup.

Don’t think we will see Sedgy hit heights of a few years back but as you say prove us wrong.

How many points to spare ?

Willie still needing replaced.

Agree Gazc. 38.5 too low. Boils dow to who has best 2 / 3 pointers. We see riders who bearly hold their own in NL struggling at reserve in div 2.

That’s my point. Max was willing to move out comfort zone of Championship Speedway for long term gains. Cookie has settled with riding in 2 GB divisions when he should have tried to break into Scandinavia a good few years ago. If he really believed in 20 20 vision he would be nowhere near second tier Speedway. GP has moved on since days of Stonehewer. You ain’t gonna be challenging for world title doing circles in div 2.

Going by Cookie’s comments on film after last night’s match at Glasgow. He has no intention of giving up second division in GB. Financially a sound idea but not in best interest if if wants to get into and be competitive in foreign tracks at GP level. That’s difference between Fricke and Cookie.

1) type of break recommends immobilisation- so one brave rider. But Cookie was on pace against tougher opposition so should be okay. 2) no. 3) you are at home 4) yes 4) 10 points should be enough 5) not techy 5) less than 10 could be more like Boulevard of Broken Dreams rather than Citadel of Speed

Capitate one of carpal bones which is normally treated by immobilisation.

Never had much time for Tai Woffinden but have warmed to him this year. Used to shoot his mouth off but now his comments are measured and well thought out and make sense. Rossiter has had his day although GBs chances went up the Thames without a paddle after their first race. When interviewed Rossiter should have been able to inform viewers the extent of Cook’s and Lambert’s injuries instead of smirking and going on about Janowski failing to score. He is the team manager !!! If he didn’t think Dan Bewley was fit enough to be considered for Russia he shouldn’t have been in the squad in the first place. Harris answered the call but clearly had had his day at this level. I do agree with Woffinden that GB riders who wish to succeed on the world stage need to be riding in mainland Europe. Would like to see David Howe in GB set up.

Don’t think you should be holding that paragon of virtue up as a role model.
