  1. Similar to when Leicester at Beaumont Leys started & had planning consent to be a multiple event area. What else is there, now, other than the speedway?
  2. He got injured at the SON plus he then had his family issues so I think his head was elsewhere, not good for racing, mentally or physically.
  3. Really!!!!!!! Noise & environmental tests in new year then HOPE to build a track within 7 months to hold 6 meetings. I;m with you Probably out in the sticks, away from housing & development hence the need for noise tests. PS, I do not know where the 2 areas earmarked are but presume further northwards.
  4. Still suffering from a hangover which is hampering your thinking?
  5. That threw a few of us as expected Allen based on rising averages(lowest to highest) but still expect Allen next as the 6th rider. Last year, if I remember, they named the last 2 together.
  6. I think that applies to all riders but, WOW, a positive statement from you.
  7. Or just after midnight on Star online or get SS early via newsagent or post.
  8. gt posts that many guesses that he will get some right & some wrong.
  9. Especially as Denmark have no fixtures in July. Free weeks & months is the way to go to fit in rained off meetings.
  10. Kyle Newman on a 4.29. WOW! Thought he would be around 6 by now.
  11. So one scores 13 from 5, another 12 from 5 & the 3rd 10 from 4! At home, when dialled in but not away. A very optimistic view.
  12. Only once he knew a member of the old Bournemouth promotion was going to be involved at Plymouth did he backtrack on his decision & move to Poole, luckily for him.
  13. Recommended by his fellow Aussies with a reputation of being a good gater. I think he only had 1/2 a year on a 500cc & was beating similar Aussies of a same standard but was found out very quickly to not be up to the required level.
  14. Don't think he was the first choice ............................. maybe 4th but is a good all round 2nd string/reserve & captain & most teams have them. As regards asking for names, you & many others just spout on here wrong choice/we need to make a change throughout a season but not give names & answers to their questions. By the way, my name is NOT Richard!
  15. Which is what we are hoping for in J Thompson as he scores well at U17, U19 U21 meetings when he gates or gets in front but more to learn when mixing it, catching & overtaking at CL level.
  16. It is not just about HL top 3 but 2nd strings & where riders could improve. We saw in both Cooks after the league fixtures finished what they could do scoring impressively in Play Offs & KOC. Ben could be their 3rd HL but I thinks Poole's plans, A-B-C, is about getting the right visa & qualification rights & bring in both Rew & Zischke of which Rew could end up 3rd HL.
  17. Probably ALL those named have clubs already but not announced of which Rob would be aware. If naming names, try doing a bit of homework, Zischke is his surname & I was warned off by a Poole poster saying he was Poole bound probably with Rew now he is at Ipswich so sorting the correct visa to ride in 2 leagues. Kundsen is Knudsen & after being there this year & doing well was almost certain to stay. If not, Glasgow would have took him after doing the paperwork to bring him over.
  18. Everything is getting expensive these last few months for the general public not just in food, energy, petrol/diesel but isn't the speedway fraternity just the same. The promoters have their costs, the riders have their costs, the speedway suppliers have their costs so it is a never ending circle. The hard core punters will find a way & budget accordingly, just as in watching other sports but viewing from the stands, in stadiums, in velodromes, in theatres I would think, is declining all over. Just watching the early rounds of the snooker on tv the other week tells me that a lot of sports are struggling & even not paying out for that "magic 147" (of which Judd Trump has done 2 in 3 weeks).
  19. Please, enlighten us with names? You have often said that you are not a supporter of Scunthorpe & going by your other posts on threads, NOT a supporter of speedway. Why bother?
  20. He had a very good end of season(league) when Leicester were going for the no1 spot. Hence his 10 meeting average is 10+ but based over the season of 20 league meetings, his average was just below 9. Still excellent for a number 1
  21. Go to scroll down to Gambo post. I think he does the averages for the BSPLtd/SCB so take his word. Do not forget to -2.5% for the British riders.
  22. Double headers or riding on alternative nights(either league) could have been used. It is always used at the end of the year.
