Oh for goodness sake! Well done to Ben for even giving it a go yesterday at Sheffield. I should imagine appendicitis does just not appear from bouncing along the fence at Sheffield one summer evening. So well done for the points he scored. I hope he has a good recovery. So, Andy and Arthur aside, who is available to replace Ben? Eddie Kennett up to anything? Lol. Edited July 4 by S4r4h Spacing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hasta la vista Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 8 hours ago, SPEEDY69 said: He should have tried Mildenhall or Iwade back in the 90s, 'changing room' at the latter was a 50s caravan with no shower or curtains. Has he not ridden some of the dog awful tracks they have in the Danish league 😁 Iwade have never been in the top league. Which Danish top league tracks are 'dog awful'? Instead of people wanting the actual issues addressed that drag the sport further down they have a pop at the person speaking out. Same people moan that riders never speak out etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of people wanting the actual issues addressed that drag the sport further down they have a pop at the person speaking out. Same people moan that riders never speak out etc. It's not always about not speaking out. If a rider has a problem with the changing rooms or pits area, why didn't he raise these points before the meeting. These are things that are done by club volunteers who give up their time for riders to perform. Without those volunteers there is NO speedway . So before any rider starts complaining in public, they should try and think of the consequences if you are going to slag off people who give up their time for free. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For somebody to complain and then miss his team's meeting to go and practice in Poland for a match tomorrow takes some neck! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
