YeOldPitGate

I take my hat off to any rider who has the bottle to race but when people say natural talent the likes of Kelly Moran, Darcy Ward, Henka Gustaffson and Mark Loram are the kind of riders that come to my mind.

Dear old JD had the best equipment and was well funded but he would have been better off at longtrack, I remember when he signed for Lynn poss 88 under Simmo and Bill Barker he was a good trapper but coming out of the second bend he would be leaving a gap on the inside the titantic could have got through. And JD'S riding the boards wasn't in the Henka or Loram style it was more just looking uncomfortable on the bike, to be fair he had an above average career but he never looked suited to speedway to me he would have been better on an oval twice the size of Lynn where he could drift off 20 metres from the inside line.

I'm having visions of a hare being installed on the inside of speedway tracks.

The old pit gate would play up and the final would be rained off after a black cloud spotted in North Lynn at midday.

Would he be though given Plymouth signed Pederson and Crump in the same season ?

What about Gusts seems suited to big fast tracks

I would imagine a lot of Lynn, and Peterborough fans made the trip over for the final.

Your forgetting the usual three week breaks every month in the peak summer months , fear not the most lucrative play offs meetings will still be run back end of October when its back down to 7-8 degrees at night and the rain is back.

Given only five teams and lord knows who Ipswich and Sheff will get to ride for them its probably not a bad shout.

If they both return one will have to elsewhere or your going to have the witches go from champs to having Rambo Lambo and Jack Smith as the spearhead.

Isn' Tony about a hundred years old now ?

Thanks

Agreed but they would need a decent league sponsor to cover the flights in and out, but it is something that could potentially work well for all three countries and ideally if 6 & 7 protected to home grown youngsters could help develop the next generation to negate current polish dominance.

Harris (Captain), Nicholls & Lawson as the heat leaders.

is it 37 including rising star ?

sounds promising i'm thinking could it be Lambo to ipswich

You seem in the know Flagrag is there any hope you have heard about in the current sea of darkness for the premier league ?

Lord knows what the teams will look like I would imagine most of the top boys have already bailed, so I can't really see anything beyond a championship looking side but built to the equivalent of a 45 point limit in the championship. As Mike BV has said its most likely going to 99% of the same riders who are in the championship populating the teams but with an extra heat leader.

Unless they have convinced Nigel to give Northampton a go he's the only person in Speedway who could probably afford to drop 100k on it to get the sport through to 2027 when hopefully even the prem promoters will be forced to take a different direction. I did like the press release saying "a unique set of circumstances" when it should really have read "a dreadful state of circumstances" have to give them credit for trying to keep it going but they need to realise it just isn't working in the current state and a risk is going to have to be taken at some point to turn it around.

I'm sure he would be worth ever penny

Can you imagine it Harry as the new Clarkeson's farm, day one would be Harry sitting at his desk trying to figure out the rule book, asking the camera man if he know's Chris Harris mobile number, trying to tie up a deal with Laguta who want's a 5k guarantee per home match but doesn't fancy away meetings. Someone comes in to say the men's loos are blocked again and they need a wooden prop to hold the roof up, the weather doesn't look to sharp he better nip down to the old pit gate and start looking at it very carefully whilst on camera. Harry on the tractor going round every couple of laps there could be 3-4 seasons in this against the backdrop of trying to make a profit backed by Amazon's trillions.

Are they all chucking in £50 each to get the deal over the line ?

Is young Max James worth another go ?

As we have said before what are you buying other than the equipment and the air fence which can't be more than 10-20k .

I was thinking that Smith seems to have been around longer than Rambo Lambo
