Peterborough Vs Ipswich 13th May
SPEEDY69 replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Blimey, there's a lot of negativity amongst Panthers fans! Isn't it the same team that nearly won at Swindon last week? Panic, panic panic. Building emotion against Chapman won't help either, jeez one home defeat against a team with the best reserves in the league and who were due this result is no shame. -
Wolves v kings Lynn Premiership 13/5
SPEEDY69 replied to stevebrum's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Nope, don't buy that. He is well set up but is not yet a consistent starter. Been poor several times this season so far, nothing to do with equipment. He will come good. -
I don't read much into that score - he only had one race win in 38 rides in Poland last year.

And this is what some promoters don't understand, some people just want a night out!

Not that hard but if you want to steal march on the other three then be the first to drop the clutch - most of the time the refs call it back BUT sometimes they don't. We know who they are, Sarjeant, Andersen, Ellis are three others that spring to mind.

Ha, how many websites do they need! That one doesn't appear to have been updated for a while.

I don't see a picture of him on here? http://www.cfsmotorracing.com/

That's not my conclusion at all

Yes, it makes it a bit of a farce I think - the original intention was to stop clubs/riders deliberately lowering their average either for more scopt later in the year to build or for the following year but it makes in season changes very confusing and the 'average' is no guide to form any more. There will be riders who have yet to ride in the Premiership who may ride to their rolling average or even improve on it and then there'd still be a significant improvement.

These are not real figures but say Worrall has a rolling average of 6 but is actually averaging 5 this season. Then Nicholls has a rolling average of 6 but is actually averaging 8 this season. They could replace Worrall with Nicholls giving a positive impact of 3 points based on current form, so plenty of scope but not sure who would be available. They could replace two riders with rolling averages of 11 points combined but who are actually averaging 8 this season, with two who also have a rolling average of 11 and hope they ride to that, again a positive impact of 3 points. So, if I'm right, there is scope.

The meeting is still available in full on the app via the catch up menu, which is in the three line menu option top left.and go under the 'watch' menu.

The programme doesn't start until 10:15pm??

Ipswich v Kings Lynn May 6th 2.15pm
SPEEDY69 replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
There was some competitive action & I thought the track was fine. There were no clouds of dust and I know that when a blue line appears, that part of the track is really grippy, giving both a quick inside and outside line. Water it and it becomes like ice. Masses of dirt does not necessarily make the racing any better - the last few times I've been to Lynn it's been follow the leader nearly every race. Stars need to concentrate on getting more out of Lambert and Proctor, Witches need Harris to climb out of his rut. -
No, he didn't

I realise that, but years ago riders didn't ride in both leagues as they do now. My point was not was it within the rules but that I don't think it should be. Cook is really a Premiership rider, riding in a lower league and cleaning up. In my view that quality of rider should not be in the lower division.

I'm not sure a Championship guest should be allowed but these days I guess anything goes.

16 points down after 8 races I have to agree. Who'd have thought Ht 15 would have been a 1-5, got to have to the home top boys winning those races really.
