Get the riders and a bike or two into schools, offer some free tickets out to the kids. It's not like the tracks have not to the space to fill. I'm not sure of attendances nowadays up and down the country but surely if each promotion pick out 3 or 4 schools each week and gave them even 200 tickets between them to include a few adults to chaperone them, the increase in Programme sales, food sales and maybe a souvenier or 2 would help. If for every 50 tickets they give away, it peaks the interest of a kid who persuades a parent to bring them along in future, it has to be worth it. There has to be a "cub" or an asset, even a former rider who could be at the track and let the kids sit on a bike and help sell speedway..

I confess that I rarely get to Monmore because of work commitments so there are many who can judge better than I... My question.... Is Nick Morris going to improve? At the moment, there appears to be no sign of this and whilst it may have been a gamble signing him on such a low average, it has seemingly backfired so far.... That said who is available to replace him bearing in mind the available averages limit??

And are the figures for RW, KH and NG correct do we know?

So, apologies if I'm missing something here, but the last averages show Ricky Wells on 5.77 yet above someone has stated he'll be on 5.43... and it has also been said that Kyle Howarth and Nathan Greaves will be on reduced averages, they are currently showing as having 5.16 and 3.25 respectively.... What are the averages that will be in place?? My final question is... If Freddie is considered, what average would he start with?

After 2018 didn't work out so well.... What happens next? I appreciate I am only a part-time compared to some of you on here and that a lot will depend on what daft rules/limits are introduced but surely Freddie has to be persuaded to come back?? Who goes to fit him in?? Will Rory be fit after his op?

The biggest concern at present is Cameron Heeps. I know it sounds harsh after just 3 meetings but what is Plan B. Last night people said NBJ at reserve was the difference but if Heeps was performing to his average, Wolves may have won..... CVS was fairly quick to change Skornicki last season... Will he be as ruthless this year?

Will be interesting to see what, if anything Pete Adams gives away tomorrow. I thought Rory Schlein was excellent last year but if you went with a top 3 of Freddie, Rory and Sam Masters and the same reserves it leaves 10.34 for 2 and 4. Basically, for that top three it probably means losing Kyle and Mark Riss for potentially weaker riders....

Interesting comments on the Wolves page from Rory, saying that the Swindon riders were bickering and arguing with each other, clearly all is not well there...

Completely unexpected win, fantastic result for Wolves and the team work and camaraderie between the Wolves riders appears to be important. However we just need to ensure that there is no complacency and we effectively start again on Wednesday as though it's 0-0. Swindon possibly under estimated the position Wolves were in and didn't see that performance coming, let's hope Wolves don't think it's already won and do the same. Let's hope Mr Doyle doesn't gate at Monmore and stays out of trouble 😁😁

Whoops...... didn't think that one through without knowing all of the facts did you !!!

So with Swindon and Belle Vue also riding that leaves Leicester, Kings Lynn, Poole and Rye House riders plus those from the Championship that are not involved in Edinburgh v Ipswich or Scunthorpe v Peterborough on a day when the weather forecast in this miserable month actually looks ok. I would imagine that Scott Nicholls would be favourite to come in for Freddie but scratching my head to see who could replace Sam and Rory, maybe Ben Barker or Richie Worrall.. or an ex wolf like Ty Proctor, Ludvig Lindgren or Josh Bates. I wonder if they will try to tempt PK out of retirement At reserve, I suspect it will be a Tom Perry or Matt Williamson

Clegg riding for Edinburgh, Ellis Perks was in the pits last night so I'm guessing he will be replacing Riss I'm sure I read somewhere that perks was riding for Somerset with Ashley Morris

Interesting comments from Freddie on the Wolves page, saying that Somerset refused to change the date... Also it says Wolves are missing five riders, so we have Kyle and who else?

So when are Wolves likely to announce the team for Friday? I'm guessing nicholls and clegg will be included... Who elses is free ???
