My thoughts entirely

Speak for yourself, only injury has forced us to change our team....

Is it the case that every club is on the breadline so they HAVE to look after themselves or go out of business?

After looking for one another in the heats then not in the final when it was absolutely crucial was daft at best, unforgiveable at worst. Why?

But they can't guarantee they will be racing inside or outside from the start unless they gate, Huggy was the best track curator ever and he always prepared Lynn with the same grip across the track, that's the benchmark imo.

Because of the slick inside and deep outside, maybe if they graded the material down onto the inside they could water more?

Bjerre hated the early grippy conditions unsurprisingly. The track was well watered for starters so why on earth they didn't water again was pretty annoying from a fan's point of view! I thought it was tactical because your boys hated it but who knows...

Look forward with interest to see how Garrity goes, not my kind of rider but let's hope it all works out....

And .............. what was his answer? “It suits me”?

Really, by the Dugards?

Get onto the Aces management and see if you can have some free/cheap tickets to bring all your team along Hoping to do something like this for my colleagues although we are 40 miles away from Lynn, your lot they have no excuse not to go along haha

So sad but they love it, just as speedway riders love racing speedway, they are prepared for the consequences ...... it’s like anyone who partakes in anything dangerous, they have to think it will never happen to them to keep doing what they are doing, it’s part of our admiration for them. RIP William. My husband and son went to a talk show involving William, they said he was a real nice, unassuming guy, he will be remembered ....

Sorft if they do....

It's MPTs last miss isn't it?

That's interesting, what would make them good, more commentary? I've not seen them as I am always on the Supporters Club table in the bar!

I think it startms at 1900, 4 riders from each team do timed flying laps and a note made each week of who is the fastest, just a little extra entertainment.... Also supporters club members can accompany the manager and riders on the track walk

If, as is always mooted, the majority of Rye's fans are getting on a bit, why can't they support the team on a week night lol. Old habits die hard I guess. I do think the management need to put a bit more thought into the viewing though, open up the pits area too. Maybe it's all too late, the fans have not used and are going lose their club, we'll see.

It's not the British promoter's decision for him not racing here, it's totally his own, he's washed his hands of the UK!

That's what I was thinking. I think speedway clubs often try harder than football clubs to make more of the evening entertainment with many interviews, looking after the kids, Hot Laps like we do at Lynn, giving fans the opportunity to watch heats from the centre and pick their Rider of the Night etc. When do the majority of football fans get these chances? Football doesn't have to try very hard, people love their football clubs and support them through thick and thin, the money just rolls in, they have every facility, they charge a fortune for entry and shirts etc and get away with it as their fans are passionate....

Yes, of course they will put out an announcement as soon as something is sorted is my guess. Main thing is they are trying behind the scenes....

All this talk of one big league, the Championship promoters won’t go for that will they? It’s them and us .....

Go Somerset

Helped to ruin our league and the mindset of the top riders imo, too much of a good thing. Taken money out of the sport and given nothing back...

Everything is unfinished but if they haven't got the money coming in...?

Scott lives down south now doesn't he?
