Glasgow V Berwick 21/10/2012
Fromafar replied to fairplay1's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Agree with Paulco it very much gate and go apart from some tight 1st bends. If plans to alter the track succeed I think the racing will improve greatly. -
I agree regarding non avialability of riders its killing British speedway,and when you see the number of 2nd rate foriegners it doesnt help

Thats fair enough,but they need to update Official Website as is is misleading to put wrong information on it . -

Barry Briggs 6 Blrc Wins Did Anyone See Any Of Them.?

Saw them all.I think his no-nonsense style of riding put the fear of death into most of the opposition.Great rider and entertainer. -

You seem to know the Financial Affairs of Berwick ,can you quote actual figures regarding covering these losses on Sat or are you just waffling on on usual. -

Why should we conspire to lose today, we could have let Redcar win at Berwick and bring the season to a close if we wanted to end the season at home ,you are getting a bit carried away again.Barret and Dyer showed us today why they should be pencilled in for reserves next seaon both a steal on their average. -
Think youwill know after tomorrow if Berwick go through we race Workington on Sun if not we race on Workington on SAT according to website dont see any reason why it should change

There is no easy answers ,thats for sure. Us keyboard commando's should be in for a busy closed season. . I really think Promoters have to back to the drawing board regarding riders Pay demands and stick together if the product has to be diluted us as fans have to accept the fact that the money is just not in the sport at the present time'and hope the standard of racing and entertainment is not effected too much I certainly dont have the answers regarding attract NEW fans and keeping them.The Rules have to be simplified regarding Averages and Point Scoring IMO.
-
Have to agree ,Health and Safety and bike technology and speed have made the sport a DRY summertime sport.No more boiler suited riders show their throttle control on a wet track.A wet track or any sign of rain usually means 3/4 of the riders don't want to know therefore fans have negitive outlook about the meeting being on and give it a miss.IMO
-
Dont think anything Glasgow do really affects Monarchs,I normally try take in 3-4 meetings a season at Armadale and have commented on how small the crowds have got in the last few seasons its the same story at most track IMO .Monarchs are a well run club but like many others there is only so much money you can throw at it .Unless the Directors have something up their sleeve I can't see much hope of Speedway returning to Edinburgh(city) before the start of next season though.Hope they find a way to survive.

New Owners For Workington
Fromafar replied to scaramanga's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Good news ,good luck to the new owners. -
Does that not depend on how many Teams ,How many competions and how much they reconsruct some of the competitons.The rain -off sitution could still arise no matter what you do but there is a chance if you used the clubs alternative race day alittle more it would help although it woulld maybe effect attendancies
-
At the end of the season you will have completed your fixtures.League reconstruction ect,might be needed but who knows what next season fixture list will be.Like Isaid only a suggestion Atleast you would have an opportunity to use the off night or free date if it arose ,as it is at present everything gets shuffled to the end of season.Like you say we are at the mercy of the weather.
-
They wont be losing money on meaningless fixtures at the end of season though which seemto be the case at some clubs. Maybe!
-
Just a suggestion ,would it be viable for club to have 3home fixtures /month leaving 1 race night reserved or alternate race night reserved for any cancelled fixtures that month so the fixture can be re-arranged at short notice( and has to be run or awarded against club that cannot fullfill the fixture) so the backlog does not build up so much. Some thing like that anyway,no doubt has pitfalls but!!!! At least clubs will know where they stand.

It can only happen a speedway 3 guests +R/r . Hope there is not a delay while the guests sort out what race jackets they should be wearing. Ithink even some fair-minded Glasgow fans must question why Campton went home early,did someone at the start of the season tip him off the they wouldn't win anything so he could book an early flight.
