Cameron Heeps looked like a class act on Monday night at Ipswich....can't see anyone but Ellis getting near him?

Sticking to the thread.... Weather looks great.....team looks 'hungry'....let's hope for a positive result! Ashley Morris is my biggest concern....he can't become a bad rider over-night?

Ashley Morris looked way out of his depth at Ipswich.....'BIG concern' ! I think he'll be next in the firing line?

I don't see it as a lie to the fans......I see it as a lie to the 'control board' to avoid a fine for non compliance! Anybody with half a brain can see that!

Peter/David are not local....they could quite easily take their money and invest it in another club if fans aren't happy with how they're running things? Where would that leave us ? Strewth.......

We need to be backing the 'promotion' not persecuting them! I don't think you realise how much money the Masons would've lost had they run the meeting? I applaud them for making up an excuse to call it off and not take my hard earned money to see a farce!

I think we've already gone over this part? If they'd called it off for a so called 'weakened' team, then they'd have surely been fined or at the very least reprimanded ? (i.e official meetings/hearings, costing time/money) It's starting to get boring now .....

EXACTLY! We then have to hear about unhappy so called supporters who want the management/promotion punished for an obvious business decision? We're already in a financially difficult situation with low attendances and rising costs etc....so why try and put another nail in the future of another speedway club??? Beggars belief! The decision to postpone the meeting didn't affect anyone........everybody had advanced notice? It's the so called vigilante supporters who will close another track down, not the 'common sense' of a benevolent promotional speedway operation! Call yourself speedway fans ??? maybe be just an envious Coventry supporter ???

Not sure I agree with this statement? I think it's the promoters using common sense and not wasting money by putting on an expensive farce ? (No fans turning up due to a very weakened team) If they were thinking of quitting, then why make 2 (positive)team changes so early in the season?

Quite right....but who really cares ??? what does it change ??? It's great if you're a Derby County fan : ))))))))))))

What ? and get a big fine from the SCB ?

I cant see what the big deal is??? I for one am glad that it was called off (whatever excuse used) . It would've been a farce without Adam Ellis riding!

My concern now is, 'how many more meetings will Adam miss' ? We don't want to be having a guest every other week?

Morally right/wrong....'surely it has to be the right decision' from a paying spectacle ? Nobody would've turned up ? The SCB are to blame (imo) for not allowing a guest facility.......

I don't think they'll have any other choice, by the sounds of things? Until we get official confirmation from club officials we'll just have to keep guessing? Let's face it, whatever side we put out....'guests' or no 'guests', we're not going to pull back the 1st leg deficit!

Totally agree with you! Even the die-hard's will find 'this' situation hard to digest.

Well if Ellis is away and there isn't a suitable replacement, then I can't see many people turning up ? May be Laurence(or someone from the club) can confirm one way/other? I'm sure he posts on here ?

The format had to change to make the competition more interesting....if the old style '4' man team event had remained, then nobody would get anywhere near Poland for another few years to come!

Better than Hancock ? 'I doubt that very much'! But a real star in the making. The best 'Yank' prospect in a long time! I think he's going to be more of a Billy Hamill which is great from an entertainment spectacle.

Saw Lawrence Rogers in the USA corner last night ? Get Luke Becker signed up asap!!!

Can't see this lifting I'm afraid . It will be called off early again (due to Berwick's distance etc.....imo) and definitely no complaints.

Hate to mention it, but if the Met Office is anything to go by, there wont be any racing tomorrow at PB !?

Sorry.....not exactly what I meant? Re-phrased...….'Ayres potentially can beat most of our riders at PB.....he can definitely be quicker than Zach/Paco/Ashley/James on his day, imo….. It depends which Danny Ayres turns up ? There is also the other side to Danny and I remember Layne Cuppitt beat him 2 seasons ago! He will definitely add some spice to proceedings.

Ayres is better than all the B'ham riders apart from Ellis around PB....Great choice of guest and it provides real entertainment too! I hate to say it, but this could be another big home defeat.....???
