Stars vs Witches - 18th May - POSTPONED
SPEEDY69 replied to SuperStarsFan91's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
The trouble with dodgy call-offs is that fans lose trust and that is important. No-one will trust Lynn again when it comes to this because they've been caught red-handed before. -
Past: Gert Handberg & Jarek Hampel Present: Nikolai Klindt. Can think of many more of course but it all depends at what stage of their career as well.
-
Are you wanting people to name them?

The lumps that came off the bladed grader were solid and staff had to break them up, it didn't look sludgy to me as there wasn't much material at all. I'd have ridden it!

Czech GP Prague Saturday 23rd May
SPEEDY69 replied to racers and royals's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Could anyone that's been to the stadium tell me if cash is accepted or is it card payment only for food/drink? Also, I assume an e-ticket will be fine rather than have to collect a paper one from somewhere. I am coming to Prague for one night only so need to judge how much cash to bring. Thanks. -
And that's why it's crumbling as a sport. Riders have too much power.

It wasn't.

Of course he'd say that and in any case it is up to the referee not the riders. A GP would've gone ahead on a surface as wet as that. Walking on it and finding it slippery is completely different to riding a bike on it. One or two races and it'd have been dry.
-
A blade would have made no difference, some riders clearly didn't want it on. There was barely enough shale on there to be bladed anyway!
-
It didn't need a blade, the track was fine. However we know about Aussies and wet tracks ๐ The track is smooth and consistent, the tail ways the dog again - a ref on the 80s-90s wouldn't have called that off. Those that turned up to watch will think again the next time there's a shower on the forecast and who can blame them.

As part of a larger interview - this was at the time when discussions on weight were going around. I think it's partially an excuse. On his day he can still mix it there, the PO final at the end of 2021 I'll bet Bewley & all had wished he had no pace ๐ 4. Scott Nicholls - 1, 3, 3, 3, 3, 1' = 14+1
-
I don't recall that's quite what he said but in any case he was what, third highest scorer at Sheffield where many said he'd get nothing. Speedway is unpredictable and at the fantastic Glasgow track he outpaced them all recently. Would be good to have the British final there one year, maybe a GP too.
-
He is gating very very well at the moment so fancy he may do quite well on Thursday.

โStarsโ vs โAcesโ - Premiership R1 - 11.04.26
SPEEDY69 replied to StarBoy's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Good to see Kvech top the charts in this one for the Stars (8pt average). I don't think there needs to be panic but Castagns is clearly out of this depth. -
Glad he's found his sport, well done Ashton.

Think this will be tight, 47-43. -
He was, not bad at the dustbowl Worky either - crazy schedule he has had over the last 2/3 weeks given that he works at his landscaping gardening job in between racing.
-
Used to be worse when it was 16 hour drives through the night with bikes from the UK, at least now they fly.

Was scouring the rule book to check what to do ๐ -
Huh? Think you've eaten too many skittles ๐ We definitely don't agree on the oh let's forgive him he's only a boy issue and I never called for any further punishment, you must be mixing me up with another poster.
-
What else do you expect? Any infringement in a race which causes a fall is always an exclusion, if Ray Charles isn't refereeing.
-
What for Rushen or any other rider that does it? Exclusion from that race.
