I wasnt there last night, so I know that doesnt entitle me to an opinion, but here goes anyways. I certainly dont think people 'revel' in knocking the promotion, everybody is different and some people see things they dont like or agree with are gonna make what they think very clear, others will just support the club regardless, not saying either is wrong, but each to their own and all that ? I think its fairly obvious the crowds havent been great recently, judging by what John apparently said in the programme last night, and i think they need to ask themselves some hard questions why. For one, do they put on a great product for 14.50? Compared to tracks like scunny, somerset or even worky, in my opinion, no they do not. Another reason, is the team actually any good? Yes i appreciate we've had injuries, but we were just about bottom before we lost Lee or Ricky, so whats the excuse for that? The team wasnt structured correctly from the get go this year, and chances to change it were ignored. Now we are stuck with Jacobsen at reserve, who in all honesty, would struggle to beat Liam Carr (no disrespect to liam) . I think the signing of Barret is a very very good move, had some great scores back in Denmark last season and by all accounts looked very promising last night, i hope they are thinking about making guys like him and Bellego the future of the club, do i think they will? Possibly not, Pepe Franc is likely to be available next year and we all know what a fans favourite he is, even though he misses half the season. My third and final main point is, imo, John has just alienated some fans that are happy to voice there opinions, its as if you can only say good things but nothing bad, life doesnt work like that John im afraid, take the rough with the smooth! If you employ people like Mr Newton who come out telling us we have one lf the biggest budgets in the league, then trail in last place, people with half a few braincells are always going to ask questions. On reflection I think this season is dead and buried, theyve won the fours which is fantastic, really happy with that, but is our league position good enough? No. I hope they are already thinking about next season, for me, Bellego, Ricky and Aspegren should be the first names on the team sheet and go from there! Im sure we will see at least one 5 point untried rider though, we have the past few seasons. Anyways, i look forward to attending on wednesday and seeing how we cope vs Ben Barker, and seeing Barret and hopefully some good racing. Might even be a true fan and get a pie from the tuckshop
