I agree. Thing is stand alone teams like Mildenhall, IOW, Kent & Dudley etc need to be strong. Unfortunately in Kents case signing Steve Boxall has meant that the tail is very long. Shouldn't impact too much on attendances as the novelty value hasn't kicked in yet and the people of Kent are happy to have a speedway back in the county. I'm not sure how long they'll put up with a losing side.

I'm a little confused here. Is the NL the genuine third level of speedway, or is it a training league?... The gulf between the top riders and those at the bottom is so huge you can almost fill in your programme as they're at the tapes in some races... Surely riders should learn the basics, ie being able to stay on the bike for 4 laps, before they're even considered for a NL place. Sorry if anyone's annoyed or upset by this. It's not a critisism, just an observation.

Can't think of any more. I suppose Simon Lambert is the name on everyone's mind, but after snatching him off Stoke it'd be terribly unfair to ditch him now. After the treatment metered out to David Mason at Kent, and the way it was done, nothing would surprise me!

David Mason... Kurt Shields

Rye House V Plymouth (league Cup) 26th May @4pm
Shadders replied to Shadders's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Yes, According to the Rye website. -
Second Rocket debut for temporary signing Robert Mear at an unfamiliar day and time... I'm not a fan of afternoon racing, especially at Rye House. You don't get to see the track at it's best in my opinion... Plymouth don't look to pose much of a threat, but could spring a surprise if they catch us off guard, but with Jason Bunyan back we should have enough to see the Devils off... Looking forward to a great BH weekend of speedway with the Peterborough/Coventry double header on Monday, my first visit to Brandon. Long range weather forecast looks promising with heavy rain on Friday, but nothing after that. Plenty of time for the track to settle down... Can't wait!

Berwick V Newcastle - Live On Sky - May 21st

Your memory is fading, must be getting old. Reading v Rye was a good meeting. -
Why do you bother?
-
I'm sure they've done their homework, unlike with the Tyson Neslon debacle a couple of weeks ago!
-
Hope they've done their maths right.

Weather permitting!! I'm not sure they will go down that route anyway Ian... Linus landed in their laps as he was over here doing meetings looking to impress and was probably influenced by Stefan Ekberg. Kasper was recommended by Charlie Gjedde. I don't know if the Rye promotion has anyone looking around Scandanavia for riders, maybe Stefan?

Would this 7 point foreigner gain an average before Jason returns?

Plymouth V Edinburgh 18th May
Shadders replied to crazysue's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Nobody I spoke to rated Edinburgh below top 3 when the season started. Look nailed on PL winners now. -
What a pathetic response... I'm entitled to spend my time and money anyway I wish. My "missus" was very happy to spend the evening at home with a lovely cooked meal I prepared from scratch while watching the GP... What you do with your spare time is your business. I wouldn't dream of telling you that you're a pric*k, just cos I disagree with something you've said or done. I'm not an expert, 99% of the posters on here aren't... I've been going to speedway since 1985, including a fair few meetings at the lower level. I haven't got the time to follow all levels of speedway thesedays, nor would I want to. I'm very happy with attending 50 odd mainly PL speedway meetings a season thanks very much.

Sheffield V Rye House (koc) 16th May 2013
Shadders replied to DAVEK's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I think I read that Silver was blaming Damian Koppe for the crash. From where I was standing on the first bend I can't see how blame can be attached to either rider. -
Joel Parsons was in the pits at Sheffield on Thursday
-
Are you serious? *edit* B4E just told me you're not!
-
Good point. Got some breathing space at least
-
Agree with you about those two. Should have really progressed by now and not falling off so often
