Fricke scored 4 on his last visit... this could be a disaster, not Lawson's favourite track by some accounts, he may decide to dust off his protective boot for this one. Becker & Masters could only beat Jordan Jenkins once between them at Ippo last Thursday.
Stewart Dickson keeps saying he's looking for a response whenever we get beaten, he doesn't have the luxury of a home meeting after the inept display at Ipswich though.
There's an old sign dumped in the maintenance yard behind the south stand that I've noticed... I think it said £23
Was this the last year that IMG had the rights?
Most of the team rode like complete wobblers last night, especially in the early races, Cook, and all the best to him, he was having back spasms which must have been frightening looked like he'd never been on a speedway bike before in his first race!
City are looking for a new manager... I wonder if we could do a double?
I've not seen a Lions performance as bad as this since the Blackbird Road days!
And in the GP qualifier... just not Belle Vue matches!
He may well have aggravated his injury... like Covatti and Musielak, but for some reason they got bans and still nobody has explained to me the difference
Forget that... what about his legendary protective boot? When you do get it I think you should seriously consider donating it to the Speedway museum, at Paradise Park, where it could become a major exhibit.
Normally in legal documents/rules there's a force majeure clause, I would have thought both Doyle and Tungate should have been covered by this, why a flight delay in a foreign country trumps a traffic delay in a foreign country I'm not quite sure. Neither should have been banned imo... or both (definitely neither)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the rules don't mention missed flights, broken down planes, traffic jams etc. It just says the SCB have to be notified when and why a rider is missing. It then seems to be up to the SCB if and what any sanction will be. Why Tungate gets a ban and Doyle doesn't has never been explained. There's far too many 7 and 28 day bans being handed out for my liking.
