FAST GATER

Yes I would much prefer to see free gates and the double points got rid of and is there such exciting racing now under the present form of starting as people are always asking for passing .

PK should have been signed I am sure it's all about money or a lack( he is not ultra keen ) of it being offered to him , should it all crash and burn he will then be made an offer I am sure if no one else has courted him first .

Fixed gates are the reason that the averages of the top riders today are lower than years ago ,would rather have freedom of gates do away with double points but then I also like tape touching and the old tac/rule because i am out of touch and living in the past .

Great rider simple always be missed

Spot on could not agree more

least it brought a smile to a few faces !!! I thought you had to read between the lines on here all the time still think someone will make an offer that will rekindle his interest in coming over if he is deemed a s/string but accept that he may be winding down his career .

I think the PK situation IMO ( no proof what so ever ) is that he won't come for the terms being offered but if the the wheels fall off then they will make it worth his while ,just got to be careful that no one else "comes a calling ".I think he is worth the risk myself and IMO we will see him in the league this season whether it is in yellow and black your guess is as good as mine .

The best second string in the league by a counrty mile, will wait till the poo hits the fan and then wheel him out madness

Many thanks for the info

Totally agree thank goodness I am not the only one in the world that thinks this .

Can't believe that PK is not in especially if he is not a H/L to start with exiled yet again by the looks of things hope he hits some big scores wherever he ends up .

I have the same opinion( that is all it is )about winning the league ,anyone that I know has never complained about not winning the league but has about lack of passing and gate and go speedway.

If they have to be protected then they should not ride in the EL this is what messes up the racing format for cost cutting reasons ,let their scores not count in the match if they can't hold their own .You don't have a player who cant be tackled by certain oposition players in football so why is s/way operating this FTR farce it is a complete joke just ruins the sport IMO .

SPOT ON although I am not quite there yet( 54yrs old) but my reasons for being against the play offs is that the whole thing is meaningless, that includes winning the league WHAT do teams get out of it except huge wage bills for top riders .I have never thought of not going to speedway because my team didn't win the league ( did in fact Ellesmere Port 1985) look how well that went .It is the quality of racing that matters and having value for money ,you don't need GP stars to make good racing equally matched riders,machinery and close racing make good speedway .

I have serious doubts that Stead will be ready for the start of the season may have to build a team without him at least to start with

What ever happens PK must not be lost to the sport through "lists" or any other form of "red Tape" !!!!!

IMO still think PK will start at four but will end up as a heatleader

taking a well earned rest infers he should retire to me which I disagree with

He is over the winter ready for next season see no reason why he needs any longer years in the old dog yet

Spot on need to forget about the GP's and think about the EL if they are not here then let's just carry on without them

What's new good, riddance to them lets move on and think about the EL and not worry what Olsen's puppets are doing

you should be so lucky maybe drop to the PL in another 10yrs or so

Hope so IMO third h/leader

Reminds me of PK at Wolves (although nearly 10yrs younger) not quite the riders they were but can still pull a some good scores together ,these riders just want to race and as long as they don't get hurt good luck to them.

Well said
