ouch

100% One promoter says do it this way, it’ll make things better. Cartel do their thing (make things worse) and said promoter says cheerio. And repeat………

It isn’t, for some.

I’m happy with him, though I only see him ride at the NSS and the odd GP win that crops up on social media. Don’t watch any other speedway as it’s so tedious and boring, I just don’t have time for it.

Dan is currently 5th in the league on green sheets. Above him are riders like Fricke who I can’t see a current GB rider out performing on the UK circuits. It’s no shame to be eclipsed by riders such as this, Dan needs to keep doing what he’s doing to help the Aces into the playoffs and then it’s all to play for.

I’d do everything in my power to help Wolverhampton get a new track. That’s been the case since the mid 90’s

Apologies for the attempt to throw you out, sometimes Aces fans can be a little over zealous when coming down on anti social behaviour. Glad you stepped in, all with your usual tack to diffuse a situation I’m sure Nice insult at the end of your post btw. Gave yourself away a bit there.

I get there’s a groundswell of opinion for clubs to work independently against each other mostly to the detriment of the sport but I cannot agree with that thinking, it just doesn’t sit right with me but I accept your opinion. Similarly I cannot agree to the lack of involvement with the RS’s and the ongoing hiring and firing, something the young lads have been very vocal about in the speedway press. The rule book, well stick to it or bin it, don’t be altering it at the drop of a hat to suit certain teams. That’s an opinion I’ll champion to my dying day, for any sport. I accept though that this is a forum where opinions can be aired and disagreements will arise, no matter how baffling some fans thinking is to me.

If those responsible payed out every time there’s a crash at Monmore, the Wolves would have gone into receivership years ago.

As you point out, it’s the football crowd glory hunters that turn up for the play offs and they are soon put in their place by us Aces fans or even removed. I’d like to see the same response at Monmore with the regulars there but it’s just accepted, in fact it’s positively encouraged which is sad.

Rider interviews are ideal for when the tractors are out during a meeting. 5mins should be enough for the track prep which will only take up a third of the interval time. I do know some tracks have a major track change round usually working on the gates to gain a gate and go tactical advantage. I feel this is unnecessary on many fronts and short changes us long suffering fans.

Yes, you will always have some reserves better than others. The promoters could spend time and money on their RS’s to help bring them on to help balance things out. Alternatively they could just bar the best from the RS system.

If we could all work towards providing tracks that suited todays bike and let the riders entertain instead of all the gate & go rubbish. Ideally have customers in surroundings that a 21st century audience is accustomed to with quality food and drink available, in a restaurant set up if the fans wanted that choice. Keep fans entertained during the interval and breaks with games for the kids, rider interviews and maybe a comic mascot whilst the tractors do there 5mins. With regards teams maybe try and return to days when more that half the team are British and better still ex junior team members. Make the rest up with a combination of a big hitter brought in and young riders from around the world that fans can see progress as part of the team. Trouble with all this is it needs to be across the board and done collectively. If only one team ploughed that path it would lead to the petty resentments and jealousies that blight our sport. That would see the rule book disregarded or altered at a whim to penalise a team and see more and more fans drift away from the sport. You’ve got to have hope.

Exactly, people moan when they have a bad meal or a faulty car after a service. If you can do better step up, if not shut up. People need to realise just because they are paying their hard earned cash for something it doesn’t need to be good. Glad we agree with each other.

Just like I did. Another shale souvenir for my defunct track collection.

GOTCHA!

I hope they don’t get their license revoked due to concerns over the financial management of the club. Wouldn’t be good if they had significant debt but it looks like the actions of other people are the cause of the problems they have faced this season. Deja Vue

The clock at Belle Vue is fully connected to the refs box and riders like Dan use the display when gardening. He looks up at it a few times and generally finishes with 10 or so seconds to spare. The problem, which is typical of UK speedway is how inconsistent it all is. Not all tracks are set up the same and not all refs implement rules the same.

Belle Vue “Can we sign a number one even though he doesn’t want to do all the away meetings?” Cartel “No” Kings Lynn “Can we sign a number one even though he doesn’t want to do all the away meetings?” Cartel “Yes” Don’t agree with it btw.

Whilst we might like the “subs on the bench” idea as apposed to the guest system, it’s just not going to happen. The powers that be rewrote the rule book to stop it when teams are faced with injuries, at a time when the sport in this country gets its greatest exposure. It’s also evident, given posts on the subject that BSF are dead against the idea and prefer guests.

Night night everyone. This has made for an early night for me. Yawn ZZZZzz. One thing speedway does have to market is it’s insomnia curing ability.

Apart from one track, speedway races are three laps too many. Should be one lap dash as after bend three, that’s it.

ZZZzzz Speedway is the real ZZZzzz winner here ZZZzzz. Even better they are showing heats from WOLVERHAMPTON!! FFS.

If Andersen, Cook, Worrall, Basso, Iversen and Jenkins can bag 35 between then like last time and Vadim gets the 12 he scored against us at the NSS then it might not be as cut and dried as people are thinking. Since then they’ve only won and suffered a narrow defeat at home and that due to IRR for Basso. I think we’ll get the bonus *apologies to the forum for using factual past performance data as an indicator towards expected performance.

Yawn - This is 21st century speedway - yawn - apart from the odd track - yawn. British gating - yawn - league, very tedious and - yawn - sad. I use to - yawn - count sheep to get to sleep. ZZZZzzzzzz

Steve Worrall was excluded whilst gardening as the in field clock counted out. He was representing the Aces at the time so it may not be a rule and just SCB having a laugh with us again.
