Crump99

I'd make the most of it. It might only be June but we've only 4 programmed league fixtures left after this, with one also to re-arrange, and the humongous gap of Jul 15 to Sept 2 without any speedway and who knows what happens after that.

Andersen says that he's having a skid on Tuesday so whether he'll risk it again (no good if he has to pull out again)? Hans Andersen@Hansi_Andersen (17/6/19) Injury update the arm & shoulder has regained full movement and is hardly causing any pain doing daily use still lacking a bit of strength in some positions BUT will have a skid tomorrow to test my fitness

Broken collar bone is potentially much less troublesome and easier to fix than a broken shoulder so Andersen was never really realistic. He's not in his 20s when things mend quicker. As for Wilson-Dean, let's hope it's not the shoulder messed about in September when he apparently had a shoulder operation, involving the removal of a plate and nine screws. A simple collar bone break is possible to come back quickly from although not the best idea but they need to earn.

The Jokes section is further down the board and that's a good one I might add

I agree. The point you're missing is that sometimes it's better just to read, chuckle and move on

If you choose to post and/or quote then expect a response, it's not rocket science.

Thought I said it before a wheel was turned.: no hindsight in sight. I was also right about the last bit going by your previous post:

1. Hans Andersen R/R (BWD 0) (AS 1') (CW 0) (SN 2) You were saying!

4 pages, how many posts are there and how many are not speedway related?

Polls close at 10pm though getting washed, dressed and outside so early in the day might be a bit of an issue for the Corbynistas. Tbh you'd be better mobilising for the next GE because Jezza's shambles of a party are scheduled to get less seats than a rudderless Tory party currently in self destruct mode. Sorry speedway fans: "a little bit of politics" as Ben Elton would say. This would have been interesting but the loss of Andersen for Panthers without suitable replacement has killed it but should enable Chapman's Witches fans to travel home happy.

Brexit Party 1/6 - Labour 5/1: I think that Foxhole will be more fun

He can certainly come back unfit and do more damage in 2 weeks that's for sure. Noodles has the medical figure but speedway riders are an unusual breed so a bit of strapping and couple of paracetomol should do it.

I'll open it up again just in case something crops up. That'll keep our select merry band of men, and couple of ladies happy. Also can't miss Hodgy's Saturday pound

Who ran your course, David Brent ("Never do today that which will become someone else's responsibility tomorrow")

And another thing while you're on Did you read this: "one of the better sound systems in British speedway" Before we got the improved sound system and I used to moan about those speakers at the back and the crap sound levels, you weren't having any of it and always said that it was my ears

It was left too long before anything was done. It didn't need lots of tractor racing but some of that outside line should have been brought back in earlier so basically I'd agree with that. The rain shower didn't help but neither did watering shiny concrete. It's a fine line though and it worked Thursday so why change was the reasoning I guess.

A turnstile needs staff though so it's easy to see the solution but doesn't seem to be so easy to provide the answer given that volunteers are in short supply, as the taped off stand sections indicate. Fair point about the stand seats, been like that for a good few seasons now. They were actually quite clean yesterday considering that we'd had a Thursday meeting. If you attend at other times then bring your Mr Sheen and a rag. I guess that the EoES kept it clean generally in days gone by but only bother now for the very few major events that they have on now. It's no doubt another responsibility delegated to the user, i.e us, that's low priority, if any priority at all? Music's always subjective isn't it. As long as it's not something with thumping base or pertaining to rap then I'm not too fussed. I never heard any of those tunes yesterday which is unusual, I must have been enjoying myself

Out of interest, as that's the first time that I can recall seeing you there this year, how many of the 8 Panthers home fixtures have you been to in 2019? That's in no way a dig at you or your excellent post, but our 6 fingered colleague has his cattle prod out and used your post to justify his Buster love in

Yup I'm for real and thanks for proving my point: "If you can't read and understand then there isn't much point in anyone posting is there."

Part of the problem Rodders, nobody knows what you're talking about And further on today's meeting (think someone may have acted on earlier comments or it's just happened anyway), decent atmosphere today with riders generally doing a lap of honour, which should be compulsory, for the crowd to show their appreciation. Only downside being matey trying to hunt out away fans and offload a bobble hat pre meeting when many just want some music and to have a chat: not the PA drowning out everything else

That's the sad part. The momentum generated after two cracking meetings can't immediately be built on. Special mention to Andersen again. He's still a great watch and technician at the EoES when he's on it. I just wished that he hadn't seen that Sayfutdinov video. Very scary coming off turn 4 on several occasions; thought that he'd be coming up to our section of the stand

Tedious. If you can't read and understand then there isn't much point in anyone posting is there. Times hit 60 seconds today with a track record a couple of weeks ago of 57.4. I would ask if you can come to any conclusion about that but can't be bothered so will just leave you to ponder in case something clicks

Crump was already coasting at that point, consolidated in the next two and got the sun lounger out for the remainder when Andersen also started to tail off. Whether he'd have beaten Crump over the full series I doubt, but he might. Crump's record in the SGP suggests you're barking but entitled to your opinion.

The track hasn't produced anything like that for the previous 6 meeting though, hence the drop off of people rather than increase that last nights racing, decent presentation, along with better rider interaction (ie doing victory laps as they did last night usually, not all!) deserves. Given that April and May are traditionally our busy home months and for the rest of the season we're back to feast but mainly famine in terms of fixtures then Buster and co will probably need to take the hit this year and build as best they can for the rest of the season and start of 2020 with last night as the benchmark, knowing that it can be done. The issue with the stand appears the same as it was this time last year. This probably explains it.
