S W C - Who Will Be Picked For Uk
Woz01 replied to michaelcroucher's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
All 4 Brits should score 8+ at the Kings Lynn round. They should have the beating of all the Italians (Covatti might have a couple decent rides) and all of the Americans apart from Greg. Will Holder ride for Australia? If not we will have half a chance. -
Hang on, people having a go at the Bees promotion for not offering Birmingham fans cheaper admission? I suppose the forum isnt the same without slagging off Horton. This must be a joke. They will honour Birmingham season tickets and anyone with a season ticket at any club can get into Brandon for a tenner, I dont know what more the man can do. Does more than most to entice fans to meetings.

Stead is good at Kings Lynn isnt he? -

But never disappoints in the SWC. We have half a chance to make a final here we should pick our best side available, that easily includes Bomber. His recent league form has been better than any other Brit apart from Tai. That includes the continent too scored 11 in Sweden and 9 in Poland in the last week. People shouldnt just look at GP form especially when picking a GB side. -
I can see 2 GPS in Britain working but only if the 2nd one was at a speedway stadium like the new BV or Coventry. I doubt there would be demand for 2 big crowds, remember we always get a SWC qualifier too.

The Difference In Attendances At Tracks
Woz01 replied to mdmc82's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
But back than guests were hardly needed these days its every match one way or another. People perceive it as amateurish, its not even one guest sometimes its 4 in one team. That is a big reason why some dont attend. -

I thought Rosco would pick Cook but this would be close to the 4 id pick and the 4 suit the bigger tracks better than the rest. The race off is certainly winnable. -
The Difference In Attendances At Tracks

The guests and R/R situation needs to resolved, the public find it very strange that a rider from a rival club can guest for you. FTD is a good move but that will also need a bit of tinkering. Coventry have a long history of having a team which helps crowd levels, im sure most of the local population know of the Coventry Bees. Not much going on in Coventry? Coventry has lots of sports teams ( i will still include ccfc) and although i rarely go out into town anymore it seems a few bars and resturants have opened recently. Coventry also has a large migrant population, the City has the 2nd biggest population increase in Britain after London mainly from migrants. -
The track and racing was certainly better than last year and the crowd seemed larger too. I really enjoyed it this year especially as my view on the 2nd bend top tier was brilliant.
-
The fact is we dont no anything about the sale of the stadium, has it even been sold? A fans forum with Sandhu is needed for us to fully understand the situation as it stands. I still dont see how anyone could build houses on the site, far to many restrictions around the area. I dont think the locals will be too keen either.

Im not so sure about bringing Fisher in, his scores were very poor before he was replaced. SCB suggested the young Swede Berntzon, he looks a very good prospect. Kennett should do a job as a 2nd string so he would be a solid enough signing and as an asset we would get priority over his PL commitments.
-
He has been excellent for Coventry all season and at a number of tracks. 2nd best FTD rider for me and close to Kerr, he beat him 3 times at Kings Lynn last week.

Brilliant from Garrity supported by Hans and Bomber who scored well. It seems Howarth came back far to early apparently was so far off the pace. Disappointed in MJJ and Hansens scores expected a bit more and Sarjeant did a job you would want from your number 7.

The Doubling-up Rule Next Season
Woz01 replied to G the Bee's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Squads! Why this hasnt at least been tried I will never know. Seems such a simple idea to me. Coventry had a situation where we had Hans and MJJ missing and had to use 2 PL 6 pointers, if there was a squad then it wouldve been avoided. Just an example, Hans Andersen Andreas Jonsson Chris Harris Michael Jepsen Jensen Gregorz Zengota Kenneth Hansen Kyle Howarth Josh Auty FTD Jason Garrity James Sarjeant Olly Greenwood A squad system would have let us use Jonsson and Zengota in that situation, im sure the crowd at Kings Lynn wouldve prefered a line up with them instead of 2PL 6 pointers. Its the only way EL can continue to race on multiple race nights and having competitive sides. Also would significantly reduce guests and R/R. Use their season starting average and named 1-5 cant exceed a points limit. Simple. -
Encouraging Young People To Become Fans!
Woz01 replied to Trees's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
My daughter loves the sport, although as others said the time between heats annoys her. It is something that could be avoided most of the time. At Coventry there seems to be quite a lot of children that attend, maybe because its a Friday night club? -
Yep its 8,000 but even that seems low to me, health and safety and all that. It was 12,000 a few years back. The Ricoh Arena is always free at the moment!

Belle Vue V Poole Monday 7th July
Woz01 replied to lionheart's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
How many times has Wright guested for Poole? Seems to be a few! -
Im confident of a win here especially with Pawlicki missing although it will be tight. 47-43 to the Bees.

2014 European Speedway Championships
Woz01 replied to DutchGrasstrack's topic in International World of Speedway
Im all for the SEC long as it works along side the SGP and not against each other. Would love to see a round in the UK in the future at Kings Lynn or Coventry. -
2014 European Speedway Championships
Woz01 replied to DutchGrasstrack's topic in International World of Speedway
Lets be honest this is the biggest meeting Germany has had in a while, was always going to be a good crowd. Reading comments that Speedway in Britain doesnt get crowds like this yet Cardiff is this Saturday, a bit bizarre! Good meeting so far although I cant get my head around where the start/finish line is. -

Garrity has improved as the season has gone on and see no reason why that shouldnt carry on. Not saying he will be a world beater but I think he will certainly be a rider in the frame for a GB spot in a couple of years.
