Fricke will get there and he will be a GP regular in time, he was unlucky last year and we all forget just how young he still is.He has crammed so much in over a short amount of time he is a rider i love to see ride a class act.
-
Good luck for the new season .
-
You said it all really panther's no i admire this Panthers side really i do can they win it Maybe ????? we shall see did not want to cause offence happy new year.!!
-
This side with a terrific top four will take some beating at home, they also will pick points up on the road.Wolves and Swindon have assembled the best two sides at the moment with Belle Vue close up. Don't know what all the fuss is about the Dad's Army Peterborough side can't see that ageing team winning the title.

Play off contenders
Sidney the robin replied to Tigerforever's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Tom i saw him ride twice for the Robin's last year and he really impressed me technically he is very good rider.On the face of it before the Swindon v Poole meeting started i thought maybe Tom would be out of his depth.How wrong i was he beat Jacobsen/Woryna on merit and was pressured for four laps to do so.This Aussie tour he has done very well again but as you say don't expect to much but i expect him to do very well in the Championship.I hope if Eastie never move up Swindon could have first option on Tom he is a local lad and i would love it if Tom and Anders Rowe were to ride in the same Swindon team in the future. -
A terrific read i personally don't care what era they cover but the 80/90s idea is a great one.The read is that good that when you pick it up you don't want to put it down a compliment in itself.

Not all of us!!!! speedway is an ENTERTAINMENT and the sport has forgot that.Would i be happy if we won everyweek but every meeting was total dross no i wouldn't.When someone is paying 18 pound for essentially 15 minutes entertainment they want to enjoy there night and go away feeling good.There has to be winners/ losers of course but the entertainment aspect is certainly my first priority.
-
NBJ is a good rider maybe Matt feels he is better value?.Also in the past maybe he has took chances financially he now feels those chances are to dangerous in this climate.I actually applaud what he is doing because he hopefully will ensure that Poole speedway goes on for years to come.Not all fans are fickle we do not all expect to WIN we go mainly because we want to see good racing and be entertained the sport has got away from that for years now.

You come across as someone who feel's he is superior to most of us but everyone has a view.I still go regularly and still love the sport but it should listen to the paying customer more.Five points that should be addressed all basic (1.) A 7.30 start means 7.30. (2.) No interval (3.) If there is a restart the riders go straight back to the tapes. 4.The referee should be made to let the race continue even if the rider guesses right he only get's excluded if he touches them. 5. Half hour Autograph session before the meeting with riders mixing more with the supporter ( i.e. The paying customer without them there is no sport).

He has a point though and he is entitled to his opinion.

I am the same Steve ( Happy Christmas) i am not picking on you or Tai i was there in October Torun to see him win his title BRILLIANT.He has won the WC in a GP format a tough series a war of attrition but this is a different discipline. Also today is the level that great i am not sure???.also the series has grown on me but it is still a CLOSED shop something that has never really changed something i would like to see change in the future.Would Mauger, Fundin, Olsen,Nielsen,Briggs, as examples of liked to ride in today's climate i think so.I know the old one off Final was a different discipline but i still believe it was a more difficult,harder, Brutal, discipline to win under.Yes Tai is up there with the greats maybe surpassed a lot of them but he is not at a different level to the Brit's i mentioned also don't forget Farndon(no title,) Williams.
-
Halifax i do agree with you 99 per cent of the time Woffinden is NOT a certainty to be the greatest British rider of all time???! .Theyre would be a case for Craven, Lee,Collins,( ie. ) because of the format Tai rode in those riders never had the Series likeTai to ride in Tai is a GREAT rider but those other Brits were to.!!!!!
-
Happy Christmas to you Webby you take some stick for being negative but when thing's are right and good you are the first to applaud it.At Swindon we have gone a different route to your club we have announced the team early getting Doyley back was a great tonic so that helped.Your owner in a way represents how speedway in the U.K. is run still no real transparency a secret society and most of the communication between Chapman and the speedway public sparse.If you were opening a restaurant in March wouldn't you want to be publicising what you have to offer and dangle a few carrots???

Did the great Leigh Adam's get all of his testimonial money.???
-
I still think there is more to come from Brady sometimes with riders it takes certain thing's to click into place.The consistency is the thing with Brady at times i have seen him win races and look awesome then another race look off the pace.Jack stepped up last year and for me he will become an in/out number 1 the thing that worries me a tad is Poole as a home track.I believe for Jack to show his best the Poole track has to be consistently better that is no swipe at Poole because Swindon at times has been poor and has gone from being one of the best tracks in the Country to one of the worse.Holder is just in behind the level of Lambert,Smektala,Drabik,Fricke but he will get there in Poland he has showed his class at times.
-
I actually applaud what Ford is doing he is running a tight ship and in the climate we are in it is the right thing to do.The side is not my cup of tea but if Holder/ Kurtz step up they could challenge also it will be worth watching those two riders develope as we all know they have exciting potential.
-
After watching Adam everyweek in 2018 he has improved greatly he to will up his average.Last year his figures were very false as he had a few falls when in winning positions so his average should be higher another bad mistake by Ford to let him go.
-
1.Wolves 2.Swindon 3. Belle Vue 4 Peterborough can't wait maybe the Witches will sign a couple of ringers.
-
The side to beat for me Thorssell,Morris,Masters,Schlein, Howarth a very solid look about this side.

Peterborough Panthers 2019
Sidney the robin replied to Flappy's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Not convinced and i believe the Peterborough reserves might be vulnerable away.I believe Wolves, Swindon, Belle Vue all have better teams we shall see. -
I actually think you underate Jacob he was coming off a nasty injury and all in all his figures were not that bad.He actually impressed me at the Abbey he was quick and forceful.I see him averaging 7.80/8 this year.
-
Dad's army are ok they will be great value at home away not convinced .
-
If Pawlicki sign's i certainly would of kept Jacob, Pawlicki , Jacob,Masters what a three that is ok you might not of signed Morris but either way you will be a force in 2019.
-
That would certainly give Becker a chance to find his feet a decent opportunity for him.
-
I think Holder/ Kurtz have to score ten plus most weeks to make the playoffs especially away from home that could be a problem for them.
