Monarchs always make it look like that though you don't get the amount of away wins they do just because the Home team "doesn't turn up"they make them look ordinary IMO
Kelvin and Nigel are choking,well done to Edinburgh good win,Riss is class saw him score 1 point at Ashfield early but you could tell that he has what it takes ,a season at Armadale will do him the world of good.Roll on that all Scottish Final.
One of the problems being he rides foe several clubs here and abroad + guest bookings so that could mean losing a lot of potential earnings,like you say is there such at thing as a sensible speedway rider in that situation!!
My point is that it is too late for a lot of Promotions they have payed the price for trying to outdo each other rather than work together for the good of the sport.the money has ran out!! So Promoters are wanting out in a lot of cases.
I think you could be wrong in saying never,I can't remember tactical substitutes in the 60's.Some one might be able to tell when they were first introduced I'm sure.
it's all very well having fancy Stadiums,but let's face most of the tracks in these Stadiums are crap and don't let the riders show their skills to the full extent,there was no way you could race down the straight fairly last night,there was not enough room.Fans a paying a lot of money for a seat In a fancy stadium.
