  1. Happy to miss so good racing? bit of a bummer to loose but an enjoyable meeting with some decent racing shame Auty didnt know what day it was after his nasty looking crash as id have loved to see him back on track with Garity and Barker again in ht 15
  2. All the over rated comments? is there so many? i dont think ive ever heard it described as " pretty ordinary" Bailey was at turn two by the time the rest left the line,i looked away as was sure it was a re run, saying that,hes had a rough start to the season and if anyone deserved to get away with one it was him
  3. I hope he is good to go... Find it hard to believe folk don't want a lad to ride just cos he's had a chronic dose of the s H I ts .
  4. Why should other promotions suffer because some cant run a business properly? Many promotions run a very tight ship and pay their bills and continue to run speedway,is it fair that their money should be used to bail out others? Ryan Douglas used one at the show ground last Friday,once got it set up looked fast enough to me like anything new i guess they will need some time to work them out
  5. i think that is totally true,5.30 sunday starts totally kill me getting there for most meetings but i think it is the right call to bring it forward an hour, i still miss friday nights tho!
  6. Just ask that T it Lewy what of he thinks of the team,that should kick it off again
  7. Im please Richie has stayed at Glasgow,it will do him good hes moved clubs alot in quite a short stint at speedway and think stay put at same track will do him good, For the huge amount of talent he has on a bike[alway looks so natural on a speedway bike] ive often thought he should really be a top rider now,i hope 2017 will see him become one
  8. just the type of message some people who it sounds like trying save the club want to hear
  9. Two things emerge so far from this thread really The Aces ran out of cash Little Thumper is one miserable get! (cheer up fella,life is far more fun when you dont continue to look for negatives)
  10. If the cost savings that are being spoken about are true,then it could be argued that a seasons savings will more than pay for the engine, when it cost 3 x the amount to service a poxy Italian single cylinder engine as it does my car,somthings has to change so you could say cant they afford not to use them?
  11. i am being totally serious yes,it hasnt been tested since the two top leagues have become so close together but as usual with speedway it is so easy to knock somthing before we see how/if it can work
  12. Interesting is the part on the Gerhard engines ie running cost,i think that is a massive step towards speedway being sustainable,if the running costs are to be believed To reduce cost burden on riders,especially in the lower leagues could be a huge boost to the sport,lets hope it works
  13. Id say Promotion and relegation is quite radical?
  14. Im not convinced that people cutting back on spending is the issue,i feel more that people spend it elsewhere,mainly because speedway has gone out of fashion a bit and there are other things to spend it on Quite how you get them back into speedway stadiums i have no idea though as when meetings a promoted for £10 entry the crowd doesnt seem to increase that much But without doubling up or down i just dont see where the riders will come from as we seem to be short now
  15. I dont think so,smart move i think,no local derby left for them in the PL,Swindon,Poole etc close to them,Midlands not far away and no trips to Scotland!! add in the sky money i think it is a very smart move for them,plus i can the the EL being a weaker products next year so i think they will do well Dont right them off to win it either!
  16. Dropped but put almost 2 points on his average for the season---smart move that Ged me old lad lol!
