  1. I thought there was contact as Shanes went under Kennedy. However Kennedy was rebounding off the fence which he had clipped coming out of bend 4. And that in my view makes him the one who was less in command of his riding line and I therefore conclude the decision was correct. In fact all round I think Chris Durno had a pretty good night ( how many people spotted the lack of gloves?)
  2. I can picture the scene: Knock, knock [Door opens] Caller: Good afternoon, I'm calling on behalf of your local Labour party Resident: And what's your party's policy on Brexit, the single most important issue in politics today? Caller: [silence, face turns red with embarrassment]
  3. Typo on my part, it was ten. Not the only poor performer, I notice Dudek and Iversen had a very poor Tuesday evenings too.
  4. Did you notice which nationalities scored Lejonen's points: Poland 38, Australia 12, and Sweden just 1. (and that came from former GP rider THJ riding at reserve!)
  5. You forgot alien spaceship landing on the centre green
  6. This is nonsense on stilts. The UK Government and ONLY the UK govt determines immigration policy (outwith the EU) - and there is no reason whatsoever to think the current restrictive policy with regard to speedway riders will be relaxed regardless of whether or not we do finally manage to leave the EU. Only a General Election resulting in the election of a more pro- immigration party will do that and I can't see that happening.
  7. "But whenever Monday comes you find me cryin' all of the time"
  8. Ah yes I forgot he was double booked. Shame makes a pick for Becker even less likely.
  9. Gross misuse and manipulation of data You simply throw away Crump's results in the first 4 GP s.
  10. Very smooth tonight. Just one fall in the match, and that was on bend 2.
  11. That's a real blow for the lad, after a very impressive start to the season. Get well soon.
  12. 2018 - Guests in NL proliferate. Widespread complaints by supporters throughout the league Last winter - NL changes the rules restricting guests for 'any reason' to under 18s. Supporters respond positively Last night - new rule applies, fans start whinging. This is a typical case of fans wanting fairer rules until they apply to their club.
  13. Rye House still appears on the Dragons amateur speedway fixture list
  14. I saw Anthony Barlow at mid America in 2017 (he wore a Berwick race jacket). There is also racing in Dacono, Colorado. Redmond Bohannan was visiting from Colorado when I went to Indy, and looked quite promising. Jim Terchilla, who rode in the UK on one of the Dream Team tours seemed to be the main organisational force behind the Mid America venture.
  15. Postponed to a later date because Swin v Peterboro was a televised fixture
  16. Ivacic rode in Polish League 2 last season for Bydgoszcz. Skorja is probably a better bet though (he also rides in Poland lge 2)
  17. Moorwinkelsdam is the closer at 480 miles
  18. That could be from last night. The line up for the memorial race after ht 15 was: Todd, Brady, Holder, Harris
  19. This was supposed to be a celebration of 20 years of speedway at Somerset but the atmosphere was very flat, not a particularly good crowd either. Only Bates, Atkins and Rowe performed creditibly for the Rebs. Best race was Jenkins holding off Todd Kurtz in ht 8
  20. I think the rescheduling of this meeting has been excellently handled. My guess is a better crowd today than would have turned up last night.
  21. He was doing a good Bob Kilby impression at Swindon - he beat Doyle.
