  1. No you're just another in a long line of " I know something you dont know " posters who come out to play on here every winter . Most of us are quite content for clubs to have their little secret sam games and wait for them choosing to tell us
  2. Seriously ? Sedgmen ? Ostergaard ?
  3. Its each individual's choice . There is no doubt that the infamous letter was crass and unnecessary , but that was four years ago . If some cant put that behind them that's really up to them
  4. Yes that's true , the cold war is certainly over
  5. That's only cause we're pumping them on a regular basis
  6. We've had that type of thing all season . The track has produced the best speedway we've seen in many a year . Ok it would have been nice to have silverware at the end of the season , apart from the Pairs , but the entertainment has more that made up for the lack of trophys.
  7. If indeed Poole drop down a league , then ex-Tiger Josh Grajczonek must be on Sheffield's radar
  8. Definitely something in that . The whole way the meeting was presented last night was aimed at whipping the crowd and the riders into a frenzy . The singing , the flares , the whole pre match stuff had the adverse effect on our younger team members . Sam Jensen was all over the place , Connor Bailey had a nightmare meeting . The Rasmus Jensen fall in heat 4 killed us , he seemed to hit something on bend 3 which caused the loss of control . The Douglas exclusion could have gone either way , if ever the all 4 back option could be extended to the end of lap 1 , there was the perfect example of a good argument for it . But a thrilling contest between the best two sides in the league produced fitting champions . But if only Paul Starke hadn't got injured .
  9. Well done Leicester , fitting the team that tops the league wins the title . It was a cracking meeting tonight . Our three heat leaders were excellent , just needed more than Kyle Bickley backing them up . For Leicester Perks had the best meeting I've ever seen him have and he had solid back up . Oh well that's it over for another year , and another year we've not quite managed to win anything , but it's been a really enjoyable journey this season , roll on 2020
  10. Aye with stories circulating yesterday about Kent ( been mooted before ) , Sheffield ( to get their Thursday nights back ) and Berwick ( seriously ??? ) moving up into the Chapman League . Then who will make up the 14 teams I wonder
  11. Footballers get worse , but no matter , they can act the prat all they like .
  12. Various hand gestures towards the Glasgow support on Saturday night
  13. Mountain had a decent meeting at Glasgow in the league . Seems Messrs Perks and Lawlor can expect a warm welcome on Tuesday
  14. So did Richard Lawson , seems it's a badly worded rule open to manipulation . Who'd have thought that in speedway
  15. Just gets a bit annoying when its constant. Especially when we canny control when it decides to rain . Not even the alleged money tree on the first bend can buy you a dry night for speedway
  16. Aye you were a formidable outfit that year
  17. Every day I checked out big Carol with the ample puppies on BBC breakfast , and not once did she mention rain here yesterday . I went to my local shop around 7 last night and got drenched in the 5 minute walk . I just hope the title isn't decided like it was at Monmore Green last week , a mud bath like that just makes it a lottery
  18. Well it seems all the East Midlands meteorological experts on here got their information about the expected rainfall in the west of Scotland ridiculously wrong last night , as it poured from the heavens all evening . Still I suppose our pact with the rain God, so we could get the second leg at home , has been delivered so far . Whether he stays away from Leicester today is up to him , but at least there wont be the same paranoia aimed at the Lions from us . Granted there was the usual , predictable , rhetoric from the likes of Blobby and Jenga everytime they perceive Glasgow are up to something , that kind of fixation takes years to nurture and develop . So here's hoping we get a meeting tonight , all riders come out of it safe, all fans get royally entertained and it's left in the balance for Tuesday night's decider at the Citadel of Speed .
  19. Get to my age and the seasons from years ago merge into one lol
  20. A nice idea in principle , but as Jenga alluded to , the authorities dont let that happen . Cast your mind back to 2005 .Lower ranked riders were rated A ,B and C . You could choose your reserves to be an A and a C or have two B rated riders . They were to stay at reserve all season . Rye House's A reserve was Steve Boxall . Who improved from the previous season immensely and started banging in double figure scores home and away as Rye House swept all before them . Similarly at a slightly less productive level Jon Armstrong was doing the same at either Mildenhall or Stoke ( I canny remember which ) . Mid season the authorities decided this couldn't be allowed to continue , so both Boxall and Armstrong were ordered into the main body of their respective teams . So it's a nice idea , but as soon as a reserve starts getting heat leader scores, it gets changed .
  21. We helped Ellesmere Port's cause by beating Middlesborough in an early November meeting at Blantyre 2
  22. Good post , and the double header was a brilliant evening . And on you're last point , I'm completely with you there , there is a lot more to a night at the speedway than just the racing .
