  1. foord is a decent prospect but really needs to concentrate on doing four laps
  2. too many bv riders went awol that night at pboro worralls wright and etheridge got a paltry thirteen between them we'll never know what difference kurtz hans and ulrich would have made but it felt like pboros name was on the trophy that year and that they deserved it
  3. most sensible people recognise that hes good enough to be included in what should be the best fifteen riders in the world its not a popularity contest
  4. more of a lead than i expected oxford to achieve but i fear it wont be enough words fail me re heat twelve
  5. the question has to be why on earth did he have the opportunity to manipulate things like that and why would the draw not be made once everyone had qualified, absolute bizarre
  6. embra fans have been known to hold long grudges tbf not liking a rider aint grounds for excluding them from the series doyle not really my cuppa but hes easily still one of the best in the world full stop
  7. well done BV well done to those who sorted the track from a neutral point of view the final has been a damp squib over the two meetings but thats not bv's problem
  8. its whats best for them as riders and i think doing other things would benefit them riders outgrow our second division all the time and new ones come in to take their place douglas and basso did it last year pickering following suit its just the way it is they will all be in the premiership so not lost to british speedway
  9. i agree I think they both need to be broadening their horizons beyond the champs they have outgrown it now and would be better off in sweden instead where they would learn and develop more
  10. id be looking to get play offs completed before kids go back to school personally should be achievable with 12 home meetings (less in div 2) then run cups/trophy in sept & oct the trouble this time of year is that tracks struggle to dry out with shorter days and lower temperatures massive gaps for teams before finals isnt good
  11. rumour has it hes already signed for one of the truplant clubs
  12. nope strength in depth for me with a reserve who can win heats 2 12 and 14 in any case kvech would probably end up at 1 and increase his average significantly i don't believe the budget is there for a big name number 1 or the desire for anyone not riding here already to come over and if we were lucky enough to get cook he has a fair bit of improvement in him too
  13. absolutely agree but they are the guys who have been riding the track and using the gates so their choices are based on what theyve done that night, there will always be a reason if they make a crap start people seem to automatically blame the pick rather than a poor reaction etc
  14. id not turn my nose up at that however id have thought basso or lawson are more likely than king
  15. i don't think it is, lambert & bewley have recieved criticism for recent picks but for me you just need to make a good start whatever gate you are on, easy to blame the helmet colour rather than the rider
  16. lets not have a go at our own though, hes been very good this year sometimes i think familiarity can breed contempt on your own track if it's not the same as usual and im not sure tonights result has too much bearing on next season really or anyones mindset tbh
  17. loads of dirt on last night, why why why take most of it off for tonight
  18. fantastic news its the best track in the world imo just hope the regular people are allowed to prepare it and that tickets are reasonably priced
  19. depends on the points limit but i think we need to aim for a better senior reserve than those suggested somebody who really shouldnt be at reserve a bit like pboro in 2021
  20. its not a case of releasing him riders are self employed and will ride where they want to
