  1. There's an image I didn't need! Heat 10 before you've won it surely
  2. For a trophy they've already lost and not even deemed worthy enough riding for last year? No surprise really
  3. Can somebody on Facebook send a message in asking Stewart Dickson when we can expect to see the 2022 Jubilee Trophy Final... I'm not on Facebook Thanks
  4. Because Buster had to start paying the bills instead of Brady?
  5. Personally I think it's good to see this kind of signing again... which seems to have been sadly missing since Covid/Brexit. A lot of the riders that were coming over here in the past now opt for the Polish U24 league, Aussies included.
  6. There does not need to be passing for it to be a good race, competitive racing can be just as good, 2-3 seconds slower than normal is still pretty fast I would say, often slower can appear faster if the riders are all close together and not strung out around the track. Doesn't need a dirt line to have passing, Bomber did most of his passing on the inside
  7. Saw that and it almost looked like Klindt apologised to Fricke after the race!
  8. Decided to come over for this one to help Buster in his "hour of need" and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it (we did win though!), there was a sprinkling of passing thanks mainly to Bomber and Lambert but the racing was generally fast and close, which will do me. Not sure about @Mimmo's take on Heat 4 as Kemp seemed to go down on his own for me and got up and cleared the track. Seems to me that a lot of KL fans don't know what they've got, an excellent facility for Speedway, a good race track, not as good as it used to be admittedly, with great viewing from anywhere in the stadium... you're just one rider short of a half decent team, the trouble is that rider is often different from match to match
  9. I take your point about budget but all teams are built to a points limit and generally all within a point or 2 of each other, some how he manages to set an environment where riders you'd never dream of being any good coming up with those goods throughout an entire season
  10. It's tricky as a lot of managers have to work with what they're given and it's whether they can add any value to that I think you've obviously got to say Middlo, his track record speaks for itself & and I may be biased but Stewart Dickson, they both seem full of enthusiasm and generally get riders punching above their weight. Obviously Pete Adams is another one, maybe not so much recently but he also has a strong track records at team and individual level.
  11. Scott Nicholls! Absolutely wasted at Eurosport... come to Leicester
  12. Jenkins: man of the match... sorry i can't use the word man anymore... rider of the match
  13. Oxford were there for the taking tonight but Glasgow just didn't have the heat winning fire power to take advantage of Oxford's injuries. Can't see Tigers seriously challenging this year unless there's some kind of reshuffle
  14. Weren't they scrapping with each other earlier in the season!
  15. From reserve though... maybe I've just not seen the best of him this season
  16. Can't help but think Brennan has plateaued a bit this season, maybe even gone backwards a little. Hope he can turn it around next season
  17. Unless they're going to water the inside of the track they're completely wasting their and everybody else's time
  18. To be fair I'm not sure it should just slide away like it did, looked like it was on rails, lucky really it didn't slide away from somebody who needed it.
  19. There's a lot of "snug" race suits on display tonight!
  20. Good effort from the track staff... replacing the whole 4th turn air fence quicker than it takes to change a tyre at Glasgow
  21. When the air bags go pop, are they repairable at all or do they go in the skip? Bomber to go for me
  22. Better for it to collapse i would think, disperses the energy, it's when they go under it that there's generally trouble
