If you are comparing Maassens night to a bad day at the office try this -
He turned up without his shirt and tie and only one pen which ran out when he tried to write his first report.
He tried to borrow another only to find that his colleague had been sent home sick and no other was available.
Gotta feel sorry for Olly Allen. Its getting to the point when the programme will be pre printed with fell - withdrawn when he visits Foxhall.
Wells - brilliant (Barker guest possible?) Compton - competitive Albin - solid Lambert - wanted to mix it and got very unlucky Maassen - doesnt really deserve a mention
If the deal was 15 meetings then there should be a 15th or you should get a partial refund IMO.
I havent bothered with a season ticket for a number of years. Miss a couple of weeks with hols or sickness and you are out of pocket.
As with many of these meetings where it appears it should be one sided you hope that the visitors turn up with some fire in yheir bellies.
If the Tigers can make some starts that will test the Witches and make for a much better meeting.
I expect 55 points from the Witches.
Probably the same visa issues as others also.
I believe if you didnt have one issued prior to the old one expiring then you have to wait 12 months before you can reapply.
I think the biggest shame if/when Woofy wins is that some will delight in diminishing his acheivement claiming it was only down to injuries to others.
That would be far from the truth IMO. Not withstanding the fact that despite his position comfortably ahead of Hampel and Pedersen it is not unassailable. He still has work to do.
I can see the jist of the arguement - if the speedway was cheaper perhaps more would attend. If 3000 turned up at £10 that would be better than the current 1200 at £15.50.
However the bangers are less frequent and these 'bumper crowds' are for Id gues 3 or 4 of the meetings each year and not weekly for a 7 month period like the speedway.
The hyper extension of his right leg looked horrible - there is bound to be some ligament damage at best.
Hope it is not as bad as first reported. Most would want Tai to win the title but not because of something like this.
