Falcon1983

Bring my old man up next thursday for his first lions meeting at the new place What is parking like and the general area around the stadium, we will likely be up a good few hours before the meeting starts

Well, witches didn't pick Joe T from the start, he is a replacement, possibly the best of the rest in terms of availability at the time.... taking into account that Rowe and Kemp maybe aren't interested that is

I've seen a few there on previous visits

Hasnt he got a CMA of 6.5 ish and hardly any last place, if its true he's on a 5 average thats alot to be excited about

If he is injured, and has received treatment or is taking anything - perhaps even advised a rest, don't see the issue with Worrall taking a short holiday, most families have to sacrifice during the season for speedway, if he has had some R&R and comes back firing then happy days

Is tonights meeting on Sky?

I also believed his hype as I backed out of a £100 bet on Panthers winning the league, he offered it out..... on facebook as it happens, should have seen this coming for the poor old Panthers its a farce at the end of the day, more so than the time Mick Poole attempted to dump Exeter out of the 4's back in 1989/1990 by slowing down to let a Berwick rider through to knock Exeter out of the Semi Finals.... later in the meeting his engine blew up at the most crucial moment in the final, tosser

Fancy a very slender away win tomorrow night

The money from Nicki P hasn't gone anywhere, the money just has not come in MT thought he was running the show, Buster put him in his place over Holder-gate Buster dealt with Nicki P on the pre-season budget now that MT has withheld or not paid his latest instalment there is no Nicki P budget It really has turned sour, MT & Johnson hoping to pick the club up from the ashes at the end of the season, which may work out well especially if they can find some land or a stay of execution at the showground Buster wants out, happy just owning Kings Lynn as a stadium

The only thing you can really compare it to is that Keynan Rew who doesn't ride is the Ekstraliga and he was a 5.00, gotta be a 7.00 for me, will be sort of surprised if its a 5.00 its good for Pboro if it is anyway These things don't happen overnight so surely Peterborough knew something was happening, so makes it more bizarre that Tomalin and Johnson attacked fans online, should have said nothing, delivered their win from Monday, announced new riders by the end of the week

I don't know if its me or Nicolai that is a bit stupid here But if he can't believe its 2023 and people still believe what they read on the internet, what is the reference point? Surely in 2023 more people than ever before are on the internet and more news/gossip is online, as opposed to 1993 Must be a Danish thing

No way Tarasenko will come in on a 5.00 average as an Ekstraliga rider with a current CMA of 6.50 for 2023, surely means he will come in on a 7.00 But I remember, this is British Speedway that put crump on a high average although he last rode in 1928

heard an interview with Steve Cooper Forest boss (Football) today Signed loads of players, spent loads of money, survived in the premier league he thanked supporters for sticking by the club during the season, said at times it was tough as supports would question his recruitment, his tactics, his team selection etc. but he also added "and quite rightly so they should be able to question it as they are supporters of the club, its their club and their right to have their opinion" but he added ultimately they have been supportive and that their support will always be with him etc. etc. etc. Put this into Speedway perspective, fans purchase season tickets or go to individual meetings paying their £22, they are supporters of the club first and foremost not supporters of who is in charge, or maybe the riders etc. they are supporters of the club and if things are not going well they can question it to the hills like in any sport without having access to the full facts - at least in some sports (football) things such as attendances, accounting, players transfer fees, wages to some degree are always made public or you have access to information via certain mediums Speedway is a closed shop which really brings it on themselves. Any PBoro fan paying just £22 once this season to attend one meeting should be able to criticise, any fan that has been in the past likewise, fans are the bloodline for any speedway club, at least football would/could survive without fans due to having a huge commercial industry with their TV deals Johnson should have kept quiet and just concentrated on getting the riders firing and hopefully replacing Nicki Tomalin should keep his mouth shut, his veneers are obviously too short, if someone on his staff spoke online to one of his car customers the way he spoke to a few fans, they'd be sacked Time for them to deliver something for the fans in the present in terms of results on track, fans I dont expect them to deliver on anything for 2024 as people understand it takes time

48-42 Kings Lynn as Johnson says its not about winning

Witches to win 50-40

With the amount of guests and use of RR they may as well scrap the race nights and just go with what is best Teams will then build sides with riders who would be available for their home meetings more often than not, away sides will likely see the use of guests and RR Depends on how many fixtures as surely they could work around Sweden/Denmark fixtures, perhaps less meetings with more completed sides is better than cramming in loads of meetings with loads of unavailability

If people are that unhappy then why not protest at your home meeting? We all know security wise speedway is extremely lacking. Safely, between races storm the track and delay a race with your protests, buster out, tomalin out etc whats the worst that will happen? A ban from the showground for life? Even the police won't be all that interested

Jakobsen is very good around Foxhall, probably wouldn't have the beating of Doyle/Emil unless an incident happened in a race But he is good enough to beat any of the other Ipswich riders, if he gets around 7-8 points from riding at no.1 that would be pretty impressive for me 51-39 to Ipswich here

Just my view First two heats should have been all 4 back both times, not alot of room in the first bend and the first two starts were quite competitve, with it being a local derby having all 4 back for another go should have been the call. King wasn't awful but struggled in his last couple, seemed more frustrated at himself than anything else. Hume was impressive amd bagged his points early, Rew will come good another improvement week by week, the Top 2 dont need a mention really As for Lynn they were harshly treated in Heat 2, but first handful of races apart from Jakobsen they were all slow to get going and you cant have that in any meeting. KK made one gate and that race was stopped but that was it, everyone knows what he is, either class or clueless, so maybe they'll look to make a change soon Brady did say more riders might become available once SEC qualifiers etc. are over so maybe a rider like Lindback might come in, he definitely shook his head a few times in front of me during some KK rides I also noticed which was only a little thing but when KK was walking back to the pits, Klindt passed him making slight body contact as he was making his way to his machine, KK turned round and seemed annoyed by it, read into that what you will but for me gave me a feeling that team spirit is an issue or the riders dont want KK there either Think Jakobsen will have a good season, a very classy stylish rider wpuld have had him at Foxhall

They do run less meetings and I'm sure Thursdays are not as successful attemance wise than weekends for the Poles, i think the way their fixtures work mean they rearrange meetings rapidly on the next available slot and that means a Thursday then so be it They don't rearrange dates for months down the line, they dont rearrange cup finals from the season before when teams are then riding in different leagues and have different riders also Not much the UK can do now but just roll with it knowing its minimal fixtures, the poles ideally will want to run their meetings on their normal race nights

52-38 Aces

Once Riss is fit you should expect Witches to be able to hit around 50 most meetings at home at least, whether that will be enough to pick up many bonus points away from home is another matter

My question would be "how many riders would it effect"? Surely not as many as we think, if you're scoring 3 or 4 points across both leagues with the operating costs, surely you are not making money to start with, so scoring 3 or 4 points in one league and halving your operational costs is probably a benefit

I certainly think a less is more is better and you could then have people pay £20 for it It is easier to get someone to come and try and event once than to get them to come to several meetings which is why I think a british championship series would be better as you can promote these differently to league meetings, go for extreme sport, aim for the adrenaline junky etc. crashes, fights etc. and you're likely to get someone there once if they think its a one off in their home town
