  1. Good to see the Swedish Elite League being shown on Freesports albeit not actually live.
  2. There's a smallish car park where the bar is,if you don't get in there i would think you could park in the shopping centre car park.You still have to walk to the stadium though as there is no car park beside the stadium only for passes and riders of course.It only takes a couple of minutes stroll though.
  3. Why do people get hung up on whether there is an interval or not.I guess there has always been an interval and always will be.Pretty much like at many events there will be an interval. On a positive note,Niels went a bit better in Poland today with 7 from 4 and the only rider to beat Dudek on his home track.And Lambert also going well albeit in league 1 getting 10+2.
  4. Ford and Middlo have already started to worry,making a change so early to their team
  5. To me it say's it applies to the initial declaration,so anything after that it doesn't apply.No wonder the rule book is so big as people then want things added on to existing rules.Anyway like rules in anything the people in the right chair will change the rules anytime they deem fit.
  6. I don't think the promotion don't care if kids come,they want as many people there as possible surely.The start time is a hard one to call really.7-45pm start suits me perfect when i am working until 6pm as it would do many others i would assume.7-30 pm is good to take the kids along.But i don't get the talk from adults "i have to be up early in the morning",does 15 minutes really spoil your nights sleep.When i work until 6pm it's a bit of a rush to get there then i still have to get up for 4-30am the next morning,no big deal really.Now if it was a 7-30pm start i may miss the start after finishing at 6pm along with many people now that work a 24/7 schedule.
  7. He did say Danish born to which Steve is correct.Spent many of his years in Denmark.Qualifies being British through having a British mother. Having just seen the news Poole have made a swap,anybody surprised?I did say a few weeks back people bigging up how good the Ford/Middlo management team are.Well yet again they have got it drastically wrong from the off.I would expect them to get it right from the start if they were that good. It's a real downer though that it is Shanes that has to make way,these young lads need a bit of time to make their way into the sport.Instead Poole keep the under-performing riders with much more experience that should be doing better.So in truth Shanes loses his job for doing what is expected of him,and the 3/4 riders under-performing keep their jobs,crazy. So to SS and a couple of others who said the initial Poole team should walk the league,you were wrong again.
  8. Ok the government and the oil companies.That still makes it about 70p a litre which would be over 10 times what it was back in the seventies.Now if wages had gone up at the same rate we wouldn't mind so much of paying £18 entrance fee.
  9. Well i must be lucky here because two adults and 2 kids +2 programmes burger and drinks would be about a 1/7th of my wage so that is better than 1/6th. If the oil companies weren't so bloody greedy nowadays many things would be much cheaper.As you said back then it was 30p a gallon that's just under 7p a litre.That is about 18 times that now.So if the price of oil was to decrease to a proper level we would all benefit.
  10. Well first of all i couldn't believe how dry the track was on arrival.Obviously Buster had relaid it with the sun coming out just in time.With it being dry i thought this will play into Troy's hands,and it did to an extent. Heat 15,awesome with Proctor,Lambert and Morris swapping places.Troy never in it when the heat is on. Going into the match i thought we were made stronger by the guests we had but this proved not to be true.As someone posted earlier Jorgensen wouldn't have scored 10+1,i agree.But on the flip side even an out of form Iversen would't have scored 3 and Andersen 1 against the weakest reserves in the league. All in all a pretty good meeting with all 4 Lynn riders scoring well.
  11. That would be down to the home promotion i would assume.
  12. You look at Poole's website,it makes you laugh because they are trying to paint a better picture of the league table.It has Poole in 5th.Strange as they have the same points as Lynn and Somerset but an inferior points difference.
  13. Some averages do seem to have changed on the BSPA website.
  14. Pretty good scoreline for the Stars,although being carried by Lambert again and Proctor really.I really hope Iveresen can find his form.By far the quickest time of the night but it seems if he doesn't gate at the moment he's a beaten man.Is it confidence,lost his bottle i don't know but we need him back on form with him carrying that 9pt average.Andersen 3+1 from 3 not bad for his first visit to Monmore.Didn't expect a point before the match but after getting so close i'm disappointed.
  15. Surely it is the referee's job.Like in football if he believes a player took a dive he gives a free kick and might even book the player for diving.It's down to the referee to make the decisions during the match whether he's right or wrong.
  16. 15.8.1 If the Referee stops a heat, following an incident or accident, where the rider causing the stoppage and his team partner were in third and fourth place and a re-run is called with one of those riders excluded, the Referee has the sole discretion to order that the remaining team partner will start on a 15 metre handicap in gate position c or d (the opposing team does not change positions). Doesn't say anything about not clearing the track.
  17. Although two of those being replaced are with better riders on current form.Don't know who will replace Jorgensen Wednesday now as MPT will be in for Rose.I would go for Bewley myself.
  18. Kyle Howarth also riding tonight but didn't ride for Sheffield at Newcastle yesterday.Was he injured,going by his twitter he insinuated he was ill/injured. More Good luck to the @TigersSpeedway boys sorry I can’t be there!! Sucks being on the side line’s I’ll be back soon as 9:11 AM - 29 Apr 2018
  19. Maybe Lakeside should have worded it to say that he was on compassionate leave then.That would have stopped all of this,because as it stands with that statement he should not ride for 7 days.
  20. This from the Lakeside website Skipper Richard Lawson, who unfortunately is unavailable due to illness.
  21. What shop can you get some drying wind from,and how much is it
