Aries

Not sure we’ll see him again this year but we’ll see. Might be case of just limping to the line with R/R for the last few meetings and then see what next year brings.

They’re finishing bottom whatever so it makes sense to me. Neither Batchelor or Zagar are the future and neither will feature next year. Makes sense to get a couple in with a view to next season. Haven’t followed Ellis vigorously this year, but every time I check in and look at the Polish scores at the weekend, he seems to be top scoring and riding really well. I expect him to be a pain on Thursday, rides Foxhall really well.

True, good point.

Nope he doesn’t. Not sure chucking him in and seeing him struggle badly will help his shattered confidence much either. Let’s see if moving away from #1 helps him recover somewhat.

Sorry to be defeatist GM but I’m not the slightest bit bothered whether we get fourth or not this year. Lynn can have it. Neither club is getting close to Belle Vue over two legs. To be fair, none of us expected to with the team we were forced to put together.

It’s Northampton we’re riding Thursday norbold.

More over exaggerated hyperbole on the BSF? Surely not!

Then I disagree with you on him deliberately trying to fence somebody. Over exuberance maybe at times, sure, but not deliberately dirty. I said myself earlier on in this thread that he was hard on a couple of riders on the first bend, taking Kurtz out to the fence and stopping his run being one of them. I stopped short of calling it naughty because he didn’t deliberately try to take Kurtz off, just hard riding. He’s clearly a determined racer who if he sees a gap, is going to pin the throttle and go for it. He’s lit up this years GP series for me and is THE rider I want to watch at the moment above all the others. I bet I’m far from alone in that either. IF he ends up back in British Speedway next year, he’ll add numbers to the gate of every track he visits, guaranteed.

I personally much prefer the measured response from those in commentary than the over exaggerated hyperbole that is typical of this forum sadly. Woryna was rightly excluded, he was the cause of the stoppage. But he didn’t “fence” anybody or “try to kill them” 🙄

You talking about Niki Pedersen here or Woryna?

Which will then force the hand of a couple of clubs to make the move up, possibly. That’s the plan..

Because the idea put forward that I was responding to was to do one home and away fixture with eight teams, instead of the two home and away we currently have with six teams.

Lynn fans have to be pretty miffed at seeing the “efforts” of Cook and Kvech when they see Cook in Poland and Kvech mixing it with the worlds best in the GP’s. Wouldn’t include either next year personally but just my opinion.

You not looking forward to watching him next weekend Tellboy? Be honest.

Good summary. Healthy to now have a three horse race instead of a two horse race. Makes the final few Gp’s even more interesting. Really looking forward to next weekend even more now after that last night. On Woryna, for all the criticism of his hard riding, his heats are simply unmissable. You ain’t getting up to make a cup of tea while he’s out on track!

This is what I was talking about Kevin. So many on here like you have bemoaned the lack of fixtures these days so going for one home and away instead of two giving you only seven home League fixtures in an eight team league, just won’t cut it. There isn’t enough fixtures now with ten home league fixtures, we certainly can’t reduce that further! Eight team league, twice home and away giving you 14 home league fixtures and three KOC fixtures giving you a guaranteed 17, seems ideal to me. Start the season a tad earlier in March like we always used to as well to accommodate the extra few meetings. We always used to start middle of March but that’s now slipped to April starts. Probably due to a reduced fixture list.

We talking one or two home and away in an eight team league?

Not sure I agree mate. One of the biggest complaints on here over the last few years is not enough meetings, and far too stop start with big gaps between fixtures. Many have constantly trotted out the old “people will just find other things to do and lose interest” reasoning for wanting more meetings. Once home and away in an eight team league, gives you only seven home league meetings, plus a couple of cup fixtures between March and September. Thats nowhere near enough IMO.

SIGN HIM UP SIGN HIM UP SIGN HIM UP 🧙🤣

Ironic really that everyone has been moaning that that kind of rider and excitement has become extinct and it’s now become boring with riders with no character, we get one and people want him chucked out of the sport 😂

Seems to have come through the Nicki Pedersen school of Speedway! People are going to be critical as we’ve already seen on here, but he makes you tune in and makes you want to watch him race.

Bit of an old wet wipe is Olly. Probably doesn’t like his aggressive riding.

As a spectator I love to see it, but yeah I wouldn’t personally like to be in a race with him if I’m honest 😬

Doesn’t take any prisoners does he 😂
