Put the semis on Saturday night at Belle Vue and Sunday afternoon at Ipswich then see how big the crowds would be but on a Monday and a Thursday both terrible nights to run a premium event - as for admission price last night maybe Belle Vue thought stick the price up as won’t be able to in the final as they doubt they will be in the final
A conversation I had on Facebook with someone regarding Northampton and speedway being introduced to the track they seemed to think the track would be to narrow once a air fence was put up - the obvious answer would be I thought bring in the white line a bit - there is definitely a catchment area of fans with Pboro not so far away and Coventry as well .
If Leszno have paid for all Ben treatment on his wrist I can understand why they wouldn’t want him to race in the Uk and the difference in pay between Poland and England we can’t really blame Ben he’s obviously going to ride where he can maximise his earns we’d all do that in what ever job we do - these riders don’t need to race here in the Uk it’s handy for early and late season when Polish seasons hasn’t started or at the end of season has finished. England is pocket money in comparison to Poland but we think we are equal paying field we are not we are at the bottom .
only two ways to go pay the same as Poland that’s not going to happen the money or support isn’t there so the choice is teams sign riders that will 100% put racing in England first over any other country yes we’d lose a lot of riders but we’d have riders that actually want to be here and give there best .
Maybe so but Lynn track record on dodgy call offs isn’t good I don’t recall Birmingham making dodgy call offs .This may prove to be a great decision who knows ?
I have the same thoughts about Ben unfortunately - also with Leicester winning at Ipswich last night I’d say play offs are fast becoming a distant dream for the Stars the Ko is our best chance of silverware especially with Ipswich injury problems
Expecting far too much of Bomber he’s not a number one any more remember how old he is as well - same with Iversen both good second strings or at best 3rd heat leader . As for how to improve the side I’ve no idea anyone that wants to race in the UK is already here so it’s carry on with the riders we have other than maybe swap the R/S but would they be any better ?Play offs are more or less gone so let’s concentrate on getting 5th place which we should do
Mid May and Top 4 more or less sorted barring injuries or a team pulling a rabbit out the hat of a signing - that’s poor for any sport - makes me wonder the next 3 and half months of league racing going to be like ?
This fantasy speedway who and where is this 8 point assessed rider ?
The team is what it is for this season .
There might be changes if injuries force the situation and who knows Robert Lambert might fancy the last month of the season once Poland and the GPs have finished - but for now I honestly can’t see any change in the team
