Who Is The Best Pl Number One Ever?

Chewbacca, well Rod Hunter was Newcastle's No 1 in 1989, so obviously you don't regard the Diamonds as a big club All the best Rob -

According to Tai, there was an inter-gender clash at Edinburgh some years back. All the best Rob -
All Party Parliamentary Group For Speedway

That's a rather cynical viewpoint. If not for the intervention of the local MP, I'm sure they would already be houses in the place of Oxford Stadium. All the best Rob -
Who Is The Best Pl Number One Ever?

Dave Perks. All the best Rob -
He agreed to be second reserve at Poole, something that several other riders had already turned down. More fool them! Bomber's route back into the GP was a little through the backdoor, although to be fair, he did put in a very good performance at Wimborne Road. But, for the 2015 series he is a bona fide qualifier and I can't see how anyone can have a problem with that. All the best Rob

Greyhoundp, Nice work - looking at those teams, a mamimum points limit of 36 would go a long way to doing the required job. I'd still like to see two 3.00 men per team, as it stops one team splashing the clash and grabbing all the talented riders around the 3.30-4.00 mark. And a minimum points limit of 30? As I've said before, both Cradley and Scunthorpe were built legally within the team building strengths for 2014. But those strenghts had to be looked at for 2015 to avoid the same disparaties happening again. With at least three new teams in 2015, this is now even more important. Cradley will still end up putting together an attractive side whatever the limit. But I think their fans, as well as everyone else, would prefer a lower limit ensuring a more competitive league.

You didn't check his end-of-season GSA for 2014 then? All the best Rob

Neither were set to ride for Buxton. Neither had a team place until Scunny came along. And, in any case, then where would have the youngsters blooded by Buxton then gone? The more teams that can run at this level the better, because the more young riders get a chance. I think it very strange that some people think a smaller league would be better. All the best Rob

So you think a league containing only 9 teams to begin with, would be better without 2 of those teams. Complete rubbish. I very much hope Cradley can run, the more teams at NL level the better. One question: if Scunny hadn't run in 2014, then who would given a team place to Arron Mogridge or Sam Chapman? Both are now established as decent middle-orders riders in the NL, and I wouldn't be surprised if they were heat leader standard (on 7.00-9.00 averages) by the end of next season. Without the opportunites of a team place with the Stags this season, where would they be? Probably still on the outside looking in. All the best Rob
-
I'm not the one missing the point. If a team used R/R against the Stags and gave their heat leaders an extra ride each, rather than a No 8, then who was it pushing up the wage bill? Or how a team coming at Scunthorpe with a guest in his 40s? Plus Scunny's scores weren't that different from everyone else e.g. Scunny scored a point more than Stoke at Mildenhall, and several other teams only scored just a few more points than the Stags at Cradley. All the best Rob

Complete and utter nonsense, and an argument that is out-of-date. The Stags were competitive by the end of the season. All the best Rob

OXFORD Speedway Supporters’ Club are holding a Sportsman’s Dinner at the Kidlington Green Social Club in Green Road, Kidlington on Saturday, November 8th (7pm). There will be a hot and cold buffet, and two special guests telling stories about their time in the sport and answering questions. The two guests are Rob Godfrey & David Howe. Godfrey is the current promoter at Scunthorpe Speedway, arguably the best racetrack in the country, where he has just completed his tenth season in charge. 32-year-old Howe, a former British Under-21 Champion with Grand Prix experience, has been riding speedway since the age of 15 in 1997, and rode for the Oxford Cheetahs in 2006. Entrance is £6 per person, with Supporters’ Club members receiving a £1 discount. Please email info@ossc.me.uk or phone 07092 893318 if you plan to attend, so that organisers have an idea of numbers.

Stoke Potters Sadly, The Perennial Failures
lucifer sam replied to iannewsman's topic in National League Speedway
Having won the NL Pairs, aren't Stoke the only team apart from Cradley likely to win anything at NL this season? All the best Rob -
