Street parking other side of Hyde Road behind Aldi i always park on road behind the flats to the left of Aldi, never had a problem and a 5-6 minute walk

I think a Sheffield win around 50-40 but Leicester should have enough with an 18 point lead, If Sheffield get off to a strong start though who knows?

Thanks, I cant disagree with that fair comments, ive had comments from a few calling me a hater when ive said i dont think we can win the league being so weak at reserve, i just think its being realistic, best to ignore those comments.

So we are all tarred with the same brush?

Yes thats true but is it worse than having your confidence totally destroyed? A difficult one

Not overly great either at the NSS from the back but see your point.

I wouldnt be surprised to see Boughen walk away from the sport, confidence shot to pieces seems afraid to mix it in the first bends or when a rider gets close to him, could be a danger to himself and other riders

He can be a solid third heat leader but being beaten by edwards and castagna does leave question marks

So would i think you had to gamble on his gating ability in that one.

Dont tar us all with the same brush mate

Lidsey not great from the back at NSS either relies on gating

He would have been better just riding for Workington to ease himself back in after his injuries.

Comparing the ability of the teams to cover for injuries

Yes but i think Ellis, Brennan and King plus Jenkins at reserve trump Blodorn, Cook, Ziskche, and Mulford just think Ipswich have the better all round strength compared to us.

And this was why i decided not to waste petrol money and time

Cook is going to have to step up, think Ipswich will cope better tbh

Very difficult to run r/r for Brady and carry 2 reserves

Lets hope the GP crew dont get involved in track work at the NSS

Every rider back then tried to get the jump on each other dont forget you could actually push the tapes without exclusion, movement was common for all riders, there was a misconception he couldnt pass but ive seen him do it many times when needed which wasnt often, even under todays start rules he would have been a fast trapper.

Yes i understand you completely but telling us the opposite of what we are seeing just makes him look silly, but as you say the production company will want all the positive noises.

I just feel comments about being the greatest world champion of all time are ott, you cant compare eras, in the days of the one of world final there was a long difficult route to qualify for the final, every rider had to qualify on merit including the reigning champion. The night itself you could cut the atmoshphere with a knife, every race counted with no second chances due to a scoring system we see today, there were several riders who could actually take the title. If the current system had been in operation ive ofen wondered how many titles the likes of Mauger would have won, it would have been tailor made for him with his incredible consistency. The GP doesnt have the best 16 riders in the world, there are get out of jail cards thanks to the scoring system and speaking personally the series just doesnt do it for me. Its all about opinion but i dont think you can compare different eras. One other thing some posters have mentioned Tatum saying what a great night of racing as he does during boring league meetings, any non fans watching for the first time must be thinking if this is a great meeting wouldnt like to see a poor one and certainly wouldnt be motivated to go along to their local track if they actually have one.

Looking at how hes struggling and not willing to mix it with other riders i wouldnt be surprised to see him walk away from the sport.

You would think they would want to keep their Championship spot too and if struggling at that level use the better gear there.

I think Sheffield just take this.
