Kent v Edinburgh 10/08/21
Fromafar replied to BEATTHEBOOKIEBOB's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Though he had the problem that a lot of second half riders had in these days were the tracks were always slick at the end of the meetings,but when they went into the Team in Ht2 the track was always still much grippier than they were used too,and they generally struggled.They tend to do better nowadays on the slick tracks for today’s modern engines.Remember Mike well. -
He decent at Armadale at reserve and r/r for Rowe looks a good option now that you have Kemp.Finding a guest for Rowe with such a small average is a bigger gamble IMo.
-
He is a4 star ,but his average is lower that Greaves so why not a replacement guest for Greaves.
-
Could you not use Bickley has has his moments at Armadale?
-
A bit harsh on Greaves,when your struggling losing money and having a sh#t time,riding a speedway bike can’t be much fun.
-
What a farce just let him ride.It’s not his fault that the Team dropped him,if he is happy to comeback and ride for them and his average fits let him ride,it better that the farcical rising star situation where Flint will be guesting for the highest bidder for the rest of the season( through no fault of his own,just through the ill thought out rules as usual)

No chance of a Questionaire as they won’t get the replies they want to here.Majority of fans have been questioning the league structure for the last 10-15 years.Many know just don’t bother attending anymore,I’m in the same boat as you regarding attending.
-
I know Edinburgh have the facility but like you say not keen to use it. Glasgow can use any night(I Think).
-
Your mixing up facts with fiction.
-
Majority of teams have a limited off- night facility.
-
Perhaps if he stuck to riding for his own Club though these other incidents wouldn’t happen.It’s all about ME with riders these days.They forget who pays their wages the supporters without them he would be working for a living.( trying telling your employer your not coming in today because you have been busy all week somewhere else.
-
He could possibly offer them money to come in with him
-
I agree the track seems to be better for the riders.
-
Not as many people showing up now though.
-
Yes.
-
Fair play and credit to the Promotion for making the track alterations ,but it has make little difference to the racing.IMO.The riders might find it better regarding the entrance and exit to bends though.
-
As the cut off date is 26th Sept ,nobody knows who they will be racing.So obviously No news yet.
-
It’s interesting the just before Covid-19,the major Cinema Chains slashed its admission prices to £5.99 (half -price)because of falling attendance level and now they are thriving again.I agree that £30/40 is value but like you say no many will afford it every week.Speedway is a £18-£20 sport purely because of riders pay demands that can be resolved IMO.

Have you forgot 1st bend &2nd bend sort outs counts as passing at Berwick.
