  1. Milik didn't get an extra ride because he was pants,apart from ht 20.Didn't like the track early doors when it was grippy.
  2. So we strengthened when we got Lambert for Bailey,then Jorgensen for Porsing.Then bringing in Ayres to share with Lambert we were bang on the 50pt limit.How much stronger can you get if you are at the limit thats it.
  3. It never was going to good racing with the gulf in class of riders.It was better when a Czech or American made the gate though.If they could have made the gate all night the racing would have been great.
  4. Well i've just seen the real Chris Holder tonight.I expect him to turn up for all the remaining Lynn matches now.
  5. Matt is ruthless enough as we have seen in the past. As for Milik,if he was to drop a league would Ford's pockets be deep enough to afford him.
  6. I'm assuming Barkers average has been reduced as he will be riding in a slightly tougher league.Jorgensen at Lynn was signed on a 7.3 then immediately dropped to 6.08 once the 42pt average kicked in.He is still 7.3 at Workington.So i would say Barker has gained an average slightly lower than Jorgensen's so would fit into the 42pt limit with Rye House. Just a side thought,although Rye House have done nothing wrong,these moves just highlight what is wrong with British speedway.Two British riders are out of a Job and an Aussie now has 2 again.I guess this sort of issue doesn't just happen in speedway though at the moment.
  7. Little better for GB to qualify straight through.Still Aussies are favourites i think.
  8. I think even if it's the best race track in the world tonight the racing won't be great.The problem i see is there is such a difference in class of riders on show. You might get the odd race where it's someone like Wells,Milik,Harris and Morris in it you may get a decent race.But for every one of those races you may get about 5-6 races where you get Stichauer,Doyle,Worrall and Becker.
  9. A fracture is just a clinical term for a break.Some doctors will say a break where others will say a fracture.When your bone pops through the skin this is normally termed as a compound fracture.
  10. Hope there isn't any problems,this is the first year i haven't bought tickets in advance.Ticket office opens tomorrow at 2pm apparently. If that's the case we need USA to gate first,Czechs second,GB third and Aus last then the racing should be excellent.If the order was in reverse then don't expect to see much.
  11. Don't really have any home advantage,only maybe the crowd but then some of them seem to cheer on their clubs riders. The Aussies will start as favourites especially with two King's Lynn riders riding in the team.Plus Doyle who is on top of his game even with his injury as proved last week in the GP.Morris has also rode Lynn very well this season. I'll be there supporting GB,not Batchelor or Holder who ride for my club
  12. Sorry but you did say it can't be broken,then in the next sentence you said it might be a hairline fracture.When a fracture is a break.So either it is broken or it isn't,what do you reckon Anyway onwards and upwards he rides tomorrow and hopefully he does GB proud along with the rest of them.
  13. Why didn't you say that before the meeting?Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I think most Wolves fans would have been happy with King replacing Howarth before the meeting,but not after obviously.
  14. Whilst things seem a bit fishy,for all we know Dany may have a virus.But as it happens with Kurtz coming in isn't this what most speedway fans want.Two competetive teams going at it.Let's be honest had the latest change not happened it would have been such a one sided affair which would have impacted on the crowd.And speedway can ill afford that at the moment.
  15. I think there should be a multiplier for riders coming back to the league.Not at 1.4 though,maybe a little lower.My reason for this would be simply because it is a weaker league this season.So those coming back achieved their averages in a slightly tougher league so should find points easier to come by.
  16. Where did we hear that Robert will probably miss the SWC.The only things i see was he wanted to make sure he would be fit for it.
  17. As i said like for like replacement is the best option.KK has an average of 9.23 and Klindt 6.36.Poole well over the 42 pt limit.
  18. At present if KK got a 6.5 average that would take Poole to around 42 points.So a like for like replacement would be the most favourable option imo if Poole are thinking of making changes that is.
  19. Who can make that decision,only Lambert will know if he feels fit enough to ride. You are right,we stand little chance of winning the SWC.But maybe Lambert feels proud to represent his country in the team format,unlike Woofy and Hancock.
  20. I think Rosco is right in picking what he thinks is his strongest top 4.At the end of the the you a picking them to do the job and not expecting the reserve to have to do anything apart from help in the pits.If your best 4 do the job that is asked of them there is no need to use a reserve.
  21. I was merely comparing them in reply to a post from JC.As he thought Rose could be on par with Lambert in one or two years.So i replied where i think they are now,and where i think they will be in one or two year.So yes i was comparing them as JC was.Your a bit like a dog with a bone where i'm concerned at the moment.Now tell JC not to compare them. Anyway speedy recovery to Lambert,hope he's not out to long.Guess he will be out of the WC even though he says he wants to be fit for that.
