  1. Who owns Roynon . Any club taking him will just be helping him lower his average if you believe how he is riding so what is the point in that. Good luck to him on his recovery though.
  2. The attendance hasn't increased even though the admission has been reduced,this is the problem the fans are deserting the sport for whatever reason.£13 is not bad IMO.,but the entertainment has to be up too scratch .
  3. We need to stop paying silly money to mediocre Riders for starters.the crowd levels should determine the money paid out.How many teams at the end of last season said they had lost money yet these same Teams are paying money to riders who probably are the most expensive in the League. The sport cannot survive in its present state it is not not attracting new fans in any significant numbers and the regular fans seem be drifting away. I certainly don't confess to know a solution ,but IMO technology has overtaken the sport .
  4. Autry can't gate at PL level.what chance would he have at World level.At least Cook and Worral can gate.I wouldn't have any of them in the Team.
  5. Like all good Monarchs fans say 'win as a team lose as team ' but under their breath they will be cursing Vissing's home form ,which is mediocre to say the least.
  6. Correct I am not questioning Craig's ability,only what I observed regarding his starts.I Personaly think too many races are recalled for anticipating the start but not actually rolling.
  7. Have to agree its ludicrous to seed the Czechs,the event is 3 team tournament now.A decent Team is now sitting watching the Final.
  8. it's a bit sad that in a NL challenge the they have resort to R/R,surely a young junior would benefit from an outing,after all that not the point of staging this fixture.
  9. Great meeting had everything.I must admit I thought Cookie got way with a few rollers,good luck if you can get away with it.I can see stu Robson writing his complaints to the BSPA about victimisation.
  10. Vissing is a bit of a weak link at the moment was expecting him to be scoring more .If he hits form the Monarchs will take some stopping. Fricke is a star of the future without doubt has class and intelligent with riding ,everything in control.
  11. In your opinion. You seem to be well informed regarding what has been quoted"behind the scenes" the point I am making is that in the circumstances and importance of the matter regarding air fences the arrangements should be dealt with on a more professional level from the people that run the sport.Jayne is the Promoter at Buxton and she echoes your comments regarding only being informed in the last few weeks which IMO is shoddy.I do not have a"head in the sand "attitude to Air Fences that's just your opinion.Maybe on of your friends could give you an estimate on the attendance.Hope you are feeling better.
  12. Come on your trying to tell me that telling promotions they have 3-4 years before something might happen is the way to run Speedway .Surely at least 1full seasons notice should have been given when something has been confirmed.we all know Berwick are the way forward but this issue should have been dealt with better IMO.This has serious financial issues for some Clubs to raise the funding in such a short timescale.I believe some clubs will close unless there are some very good sponsors out there.Clubs certainly rely on sponsors more and more these days with attendances falling at most Clubs.Ps What was the attendance at Berwick at the Week-end.?
  13. Is there an official statement regarding this matter and from whom.you can't say to a club in the next 3-4 years without giving a statement surely.Where is the statement regarding next season? Have just read that Jayne who is the Buxton Promoter found out last week,no wonder Speedway is going down the tubes,!!
  14. I think by not giving notice the this new rule will be in force in 2014 (if in fact this is the case) they have not been very fair on the clubs in this situation. A seasons notice would be minimum IMO .
  15. In your case fair enough,but Mr Blobby was complaining on Sat about the track being slick and dusty,I was responding more to these comments although it was a different thread.I agree Doc always produces the best track in the cicumstances that dictate.
  16. Having attended last Fri there did not seem much dust flying about unless it was blowing into the Pits end and the track was lightly watered 3 -4 times which IMO is how every track should be. maintained during a meeting .have to agree should be a good match on Fri . With Theo back should be a Monarchs win though.
  17. Lingren is the same most seasons when the foreign commitments kick in he doesn't seem to be able to cope with the work load IMO. Not the only one I fear.
  18. No , the sun shining and Scotland winning at football were the main cause of the defeat
  19. Where was all the dust,track was the same for both Teams they watered it regular as the meeting progressed it certainly wasn't dusty.
  20. It was noticable that Cook was having trouble with his left arm after each race.He has said lately that it was a reaccurance of the problem he had at the end of last season,lets hope he is ok tomorrow guesting for Bandits as it caused him to withdraw after 2races when he guested last year, It certainly did not effect his on track performance tonight he was flying.
  21. When you come up against a good Team your riders can always look slow ,fact is Newcastle are a very strong Team and will make a lot of sides look ordinary the form they are in.
  22. Inconsistancy from race to race for the majority of the Team seems to the problem this season.IMO
  23. Looking at Edward!s score last night don't thing he has done much wrong.Maybe not the invincible Superstar that some people were billing him though.Pl is a tough league to dominate. For any rider and IMO Cook is the only stand out rider this season.
  24. With Tully back and abit of luck Newcastle will be hard to stop.Somerset are their main rivals IMO.
