Swedish GP 2018 Hallstavik
Fromafar replied to Ghostwalker's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Surely in Woffy's case why not ask Morris before deciding!! ,in Cooks case he qualified by right but the real thing is beyond him IMO .Wish him all the best though,he needs to stop making excuses to journalists though it does him no favours. -

Is the track normally watered before Final,or is just a decision made on the night? -

Cook still struggling with set up and tuners,sounds like a broken record. -
Does it not depend what he was being lauded for,for me he had his moments but he was his own man and done it his way which is fair enough ,but if he took a little advice now and then it MIGHT have helped.He was very approachable though and gave as good as he got.He resurrected a few careers with his shrew signings.

Admission prices were cheaper in Peters day,and if you take into consideration consessions and overheads it was quite realistic .Imo.Even in Waites day we reckoned £50 a point was realistic average.90 points / meeting was £4500.I would doubt attendances today are covering everything and Sponsership is crucial.

The continuing decline of Speedway
Fromafar replied to wealdstone's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I'll bet they sort the problems out in the next 15 years if your assessment is correct.I doubt your assessment of the situation though. -
How did you manage to fit in all last seasons fixtures,let's be honest it's rider availability that's causing most of the problems,this needs sorting out and cooperation between Promotions.

Scorpions v Monarchs 8.7.18 6.30pm

It's a good job country of birth don't count then -
Take my hat of to Dan Bewlay last night very exciting and fast in front AND when he missed the gate he chased and gave 100% in every race trying to pass the opposition for 4 laps.By contrast Danny Gapp was excellent when he gated but trailed half the strait behind when he didn't ,surely if you can win heats you should be able to at least keep up with the opposition with a bit of effort.( obviously knew passing was non existant ).Entertainment factor was missing again this week.

Do you know the finances of Teams,I think Finances will become the major topic in the next few weeks there are big drop in crowd levels at MOST tracks this season but would imagine riders wages stayed the same regardless.
-
It's riders wages that need reduced for the financials .!

Probably on riders wages!

Think the Charles Wright sacking might come back to haunt them.

When is the cut off date,and what chances of all clubs completing fixtures before cut - off.
