  1. Yeah. Can't have people enjoying themselves can we! Took my wife to the Grand Prix. She was laughing and booing Nicki like crazy, but had no idea who he was beforehand! Then, when he actually brought someone off, it capped it perfectly. Then she came away saying Nicki was brilliant because he was the bad guy and one of her favourites. It's great. Nicki should really take advantage of this and play up to it. Nicki Pedersen. Boooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!
  2. What is it with you and your obsession with this? It's fine for Coventry. They are sitting on top of the league table and, despite this, also in a position to strengthen if they want due to how the averages work. In fact, they could even be in a position to sign who Swindon are forced to release. Swindon will be no stronger after this. Coventry could well be stronger thanks to the miraculous drop in the averages of their top two over the last month.. We, meanwhile, have been left in a position where we don't have a number one rider. This is due, in no small part, to the points limit from which you have benefitted. What choice do we have? Swindon don't want to release anybody, but they have no choice if they want to sign the only number one rider available out there. Enjoy your league title. It must be nice to be able to have the British number 4 at reserve all season.
  3. Black Boy Hill in Bristol is named after the Black Boy Inn that once stood there. It is believed to have been named after Charles II, whose nickname was The Black Boy.
  4. I'm not betting man, but if I was I'd have something on Bomber at those odds.
  5. Have you ever tried applying for a visa for the UK? It ain't that simple. Plus he couldn't apply without a sponsor so had to wait for a team to sign him. I wonder who that could be?
  6. Ha ha! The exact same words I typed earlier and then deleted because I couldn't be bothered with it.
  7. Looking at these scores does make me think we should keep our top 4 and bring someone who fits in order to make up the side. It's a tragedy getting rid of Zengota or Howarth for a rider that will be a half season loanee.
  8. The point for losing by less than 6 is good. Other sports (such as Rugby Union) have similar systems. The only problem with it, really, is they took away the staggered points on the home team winning.
  9. Really enjoyed that. Was rooting for Poole to do it at the end, but what a fabulous final race from Lambert. Good stuff.
  10. Wow what? You said he couldn't pass, but he did.
  11. This is good stuff from Poole. Can they pull it off?
  12. Dunno, but the interesting thing is... Doesn't the rider now have to be clearly sponsored by the club that he is riding for. So, if he IS applying for a visa, then he must have been already signed by someone.
  13. I don't see how you can say Pedersen dominated Rickardsson. Using "the time they rode together" is a bit selective. That's a bit like saying Ole Olsen dominated Barry Briggs. It's not really relevant.
  14. How come AM isn't riding? I thought he was back in the side. (Just kidding)
  15. I suspect Kyle is more at risk due to the doubling up issue.
  16. I'm sure Miedzinski was just asked to turn up tonight to ensure we could redeclare. I remember him riding like this when he was at Oxford. It'll be a shame if we get rid of Howarth or Zengota, but that's the only way Ward will be there. Good from Charles Wright. Deserved his extra ride. It's really odd just how hard it seems to be to pass at Leicester!
  17. He rode at the start of the season. That's when he got injured.
  18. They had 5 people in that race at one point.
  19. It's at 13:40 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGlxKlI59DE I would say that the guy doubling for the actor is Trevor Geer.
  20. I wouldn't go that far but it was a good close match. What is this 'my league's better than your league' nonsense we always get from supporters of lower league sides?
