Of course you can have a fixture on a Monday to suit Sky, they have a contract! As I said previously we have been getting more meetings on a Wednesday and id expect that to continue now they need fillers due to losing the CL.

You could possibly still have a meeting on a Monday on Sky but still have a regular race night for the league. Sky seem to be happy to have Poole home meetings on a Wednesday, cant see why that cant happen for all? Sky will no doubt be looking to fill midweek with other sports now they haven't got the Champions League coverage.

Rosco definitely said Friday was one of the days a few weeks back.

Describes Leicester fans quite well!! Sorry couldn't resist 👍

Friday will be one as 3 EL sides already ride Fridays plus Leicester are rumoured to want to. Coventry dont usually ride GP weekends, think people just use the GPs as an excuse to be honest. Plus some clubs could ride home meetings on either of the two nights.

The way Poland is going i wouldn't be surprised if top riders do filter back in a few years. Polish Speedway seems to be in a right mess at the minute.

They just wont accept Bombers offer if asked. I doubt there would be many clashes anyway.

I believe him and Jeremy Heaver have a license to run Stock Cars. They think they will get a crowd of 10k+ at the end of the 2016 season. Its makes them money im sure so I do believe they have the intention of a new stadium, its one thing having intentions and quite another delivering it. One thing about business people they always want to make more money. A new stadium could still prove lucrative for someone like Sandhu.

Seems a very tight timeframe.

Jeremy Heaver on the Save Coventry Speedway page says they are not quite ready to announce new site but still intend to start 2017 at the new stadium.

Agree with the last bit. Cant see Wolves doing anything away from home unless Lindgrens form picks up this season. Masters back at Edinburgh? He will miss a few too with 3 Friday tracks in the EL.

In the past it was a huge jump from being 15 and it was say a fiver then at 16 it was £17, thats when they start to decide to knock it on the head. Now that you need to be in some form of education till your at least 18 a student rate is needed to try and keep them coming along. I agree it should be till around 22 years old as most will likely still be in Uni etc.

Think SCB just has fat fingers, he is the typo king. Starman on the other hand.....

Cant even put EL meetings on you tube, the sport is stuck in the past. All under 16s free at Brandon next year, dropped the adult price by £1 and Students are just a fiver. They need to get the message out there pre season on normal and social media otherwise the public wont know about the reductions though.

There are tonnes of things the sport could do to attract a variety of ages. For me it need to be much more interactive during the meeting to pass the time between heats. It could be something very basic on the centre green, at least it gives fans something to watch or participate in. Always thought a big screen would be a good investment, for advertising, being a scoreboard and showing heats from the past during breaks. Not having a gb speedway app is poor in this day and age. Songs from the 70s and rider interviews just isnt enough these days.

Id go for Belle Vue too with Poole 2nd. The rest are so far below those two so it'll depend on team changes if any of the others can match them in the playoffs.

This forum has gone downhill fast. Quite glad i now have Starman on ignore as i have more intelligent conversations with my 2 year old daughter. Banning SCB is just an absolute joke.

Just spat my coffee out on break at work! Brilliant! 😄 😄 😄

Which is probably why they voted him on the list, biased anyone? Our top 5 was considered poor but 4 of them made the list!

The word sick is used by the younger generation meaning good, brilliant, wicked etc. See how words can have more than one meaning.

This thread just proves how easy people get offended these days especially when they interpret the word in an old context and not how its generally used these days. Words evolve like 'sick' for example, nowadays it means something is good!

The promoters are in charge of running the sport they shouldn't be attacking the very people they are hoping to attract through the gate. As they have a position of power, damn right they should get criticised for every poor decision or statement they make. This is another one. In another sport he'd have some sort of punishment but I guess nothing will happen here which in itself is double standards as riders have to abide to rules in normal and social media.

At least I now understand why King is on the list. A bloody vote! Sod the stats.

They didn't all agree, the had to vote on some riders! Surely thats a biased opinion. Speedway uses stats just get someone who is capable to produce it.

Cook has insulted many on this forum, the very people that turn up week in week out, sponsor riders and do voluntary work within the clubs. He should be reprimanded for his comments. What is funny is they actually used voting to sort the heatleader list, no one would use biased opinion in a vote would they?
