Best Speedway fiddle of the year.The dropping of Dakota North in Play Offs and bringing in Eddie Kennett
-
would be good if Coventry replaced reserve Jason Garrity (Ave 8.07) with Robert Lambert (ave 7.59) or similar. . Then there would be no more complaints about Eddie Kennet. While commiserating with Dakota North and the plight of his father why did not apply for compassionate grounds when he first heard about his father.His fathers illness just did not happen on Saturday, A 6 points National league rider Poole should be given only

Plymouth to win by 20 points

Football has certainly suffered a loss of crowds everywhere. Look at all football team 's record attendances. None of them are recent. My local t eam Colchester ,in their last season in the Southern league averaged 9,300. Today it is roughly one third of that. Some of the 3rd and 4th Division clubs had gates of 30.000 plus in the 1950's ,compared to todays 3 0r 4,000. Some of the non league club have only 10% gates of of yesteryear. Most probably every team in the country, professional or amateur have lower gates today than they did years agol

Quite interesting who Poole pick as Belle Vue and Swindon have drawn at WR and Coventry have won there.. I would pick Belle Vue as matej Zagar might not ride next Monday. Coventry would definately prefer Belle Vue who cannot beat the Bees.either home or away

Ipswich V Edinburgh Lcsf 3-9-15 @ 7-30pm
mickthemuppet replied to Super Blue's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
When juniors on 250 cc machines can go round Foxhall within 2 secs of some of the premier league riders there cannot be much wrong with the track . Plus Danny King got within 0.5 of the track record last night -

"The Edinburgh riders backed off" What the hell are you talking about. Why should they back off, they are racing for money If you ask a rider what would you prefer a 15 point maximum in a losing team or scoring 1 point in a winning team. What do you think they would say? The riders earn money by scoring points not by winning leagues and cups -
Too Many Clubs?

He also ran Speedway at Wembley as well and that did not last with gates up to 20,000 -
Too Many Clubs?
mickthemuppet replied to Christopher Bcmma Cook's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
How can anybody possibly say there should be less clubs . Try telling that to supporters of Cradley Heath, Wimbledon,Reading ,Oxford etc. If there are only half the number of clubs that will not double the attendances of the clubs left. Most club that finish means 90% of their supporters do not go somewhere else, they just stop going regularly. How would the promoters and riders possibly earn a living on six home meetings a year -
Who Would Ride And Win In The World Final Of The Nearly Men
mickthemuppet replied to Joe Beevers's topic in Years Gone By
Certainly Jack Parker who was the best rider in the 1930's and possibly the 1940's as well Not many riders were that good over such a long timespan.He was that good that the Golden helmet that he held for many times was known as "Parker's Pension" Mind you it is difficult to make comparisms as people riding bicycles today can go a lot faster than speedway riders did in the 1930's -
King's Lynn V Coventry Wed 19th August
mickthemuppet replied to mdmc82's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
If the referee excluded Sargeant why did he not put the red light on, then the other riders would not have crashed. What if somebody have been badly injured. That would completely be the fault of the referee. -
It will never be a proper world championship without the two top riders in the world not in Also Antonio Lindback who must be in the top six in the world
-
Rather a silly answer unless you are disabled or perhaps you never eat out unless it is within half a mile of your house Wembley Park underground is just two stops to get to the London West End. I am sure that all of the people at the Cardiff GP don't stay in Hotels within a half a mile of the stadium but I stand to be corrected if that is the case.
-
Unbelievable Within 6 miles of Wembley stadium there is more to do that within 60 miles of cardiff stadium. Wembley is not more expensive.The hotels around there .do not increases their prices like they do in Cardiff There is probably more trains running into London on one day , than a month going to Cardiff. From abroad there is virtually zero flights going into Cardiff compared to London.I don't think many Poles,swedes or Danes would think Cardiff is easier to get to than London

As I have always said let the GP,s go their own way and any riders who wants to race in the GP's let them and bar them from league racing. Then speedway could get on a better footing again and stopped all the profit go back to speedway and not filched out of it.Then we could have a proper world championship in which any rider from any country could take part in and not just a select few The GP's have killed league speedway

Heat 18 and a good decision by the referee -
Saturday Night At The Speedway
mickthemuppet replied to tigerowl's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
The simple fact is there are not enough riders to go round and it is only going to get worse as youngsters are not interested to becoming a speedway rider. -
Swindon's New Stadium
mickthemuppet replied to remembertheracers's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
My tennis club has got permission to build houses on part of its land . One of the conditions is that the new tennis courts should be finished before the houses are occupied. These conditions should have on Swindon's new track as well , then the builders cannot wriggle out of it.
