  1. Can we use Chris Harris to replace Freddie Lindgren now that Belle Vue has been rained off?
  2. Wolves and lakeside web sites have the fixture as either Thursday 12/8 or fri 13/8 not 22 June! Have the tracks been informed yet
  3. No PK at Poolle tonight, he's unwell (see Wolves web site).So if he is also r/r for Smederna then what is the furthest distance apart that r/r has been used for the the same rider on the same night??? Couldn't Rory Schlein take both the guest bookings!!!
  4. At Lakeside last Friday Wolves fans watched Doyle & Schlein as the opposition heat leaders..... And tonight we have ..... Same again!! What a sorry state the Elite League is in - now we have teams in name only.
  5. Any news on who is the centre-green announcer tonight - 'Porky' or 'Yorky'?
  6. cookie's mate was Mike Rooney - aka: roondog! Was the announcer at Auburn the last time I met him. Great guy!
  7. Hope the programme heat details have been proof read after the Olympique mix-ups on opening night! I would also be disappointed if it's the Coventry rain-off proggy with an insert and full priced.
  8. Seems to confirm that with the Elite League we are watching a £10 sport. Last night was further confirmation that Elite League speedway is a £10 spectator sport.
  9. Drink drivers are like politicians - they are only sorry when they are caught!
  10. Excellent decision - hope it catches on in all Leagues for 2015
  11. Banks' s Brewery shut the Pub which was close to this site They are business people! There is more profit charging £2.50 to park your car at Kirky Dump than investing in this converted hockey pitch. Time to get real
  12. Last Wednesday's Poole vs Wolverhampton programme contained a full page colour advert for the "National Speedway Stadium". - Get your brick today for just £49.
  13. Surely MJJ will give priority to Coventry vs Eastbourne on Friday 12 September and give Vojens the next day a miss?
  14. Last night saw four Elite teams in action: Eastbourne v Coventry & Leicester v Lakeside. Three of the sides used r/r, so the fans don't see a full team and the meetings take longer to complete. I have friends who have had enough of this and have become 'armchair' supporters. They wanted a team of seven riders to support - not guests, r/r & fast track fillers!
  15. Any idea when the World Under-21 World Team Cup dates will be available? As a Wolverhampton fan I will be going to Eastbourne on 23 August 2014 to watch the Wolves ride without Piotr Pwlicki & Jacob Thorssell due to this years final at Slangurup. Not even sure if 'Lydia' will be there at #1 either? Keep the nails going into the Elite League coffin! There are far too many GP's, SWC's, Qualifiers etc that are killing league racing.
  16. Lakeside offer a reduced admission for unemployed. Fair play to them.
  17. The New Zealander Dave Gifford was well known as '62' when he joined Wolves. This was his SoCal number when he rode in California. Billy & Greg will be remembered as 'spoons; so I hope objects as well as shapes and numbers can be used.... After all - Dave Jessup was known as "One Line" PS: Mike Bast is 'The Professor' and not not Hans Nielsen.......
  18. Can we look forward to a reduction in Elite League admission prices on the strength of this announcement?
  19. So, am I to assume my 'BL team' will comprise a 1-5 of one or two Elite League riders, three or four double uppers. This will be topped up by NL riders at six and seven? Looks like £10 Adult speedway admission price has arrived!
  20. Both teams using r/r. Sad times indeed. I thought this was a Training League???
  21. Both teams using r/r is a very sorry state of affairs. Similar to no number 8's being declared. Result: one car of Wolves fans that won't be there :-(
  22. Wow - The Victorville meeting is just like the "Elite League" - Both teams using r/r and no number 8's! :-)
  23. Steve, Xmas crawl - best bit of news this week. Get Superguest to let me know the details! Will Santa or T.N.T. turn up? - Are they both real???? Lefty
  24. This should have been allocated to an Elite League circuit. Another poor decision. :-)
