Surely the customer says when they want the work done and not the other way around?

Heres an out there thought, could the lights have been changed during the speedway close season ?

You're very well informed. Very few people know about Netherton International.The restaurant there does a roaring trade in faggots & peas, pork scratchings and orange chips !!!

These 'works' seem to have come at a very convenient time. Reminds me of a Cradley v Wolves match that was called off due to a 'waterlogged track' . One of my mates lived in Dudley and we thought might as well go for a drink as we were going to be out anyway. Passed by the track to have a look, dry as a bone. The fact that Hancock and Hamill had missed their flights back to the UK was a pure coincidence.

I'm having a bit of a memory loss . Could you remind me which years that Poole won track of the year ?

And still the track record holder. So good you wonder whether the timekeeper got it wrong.

When NKI rode for Wolves we finished bottom of the table ! We also had Freddie Lindgren, so it was neither of their's fault. I enjoyed watching NKI every week, great style. He only rode 1 season for us, but I still have have a soft spot for him. Disappointing to see him score like that tonight.

Now it is clear you know nothing. Okay Ronnie was a gater. But Sam Ermolenko produced breaktaking, unbelievable speedway, almost indescribable. Were you there every week ? My guess is no.

Your not a speedway fan then if you want tracks to close.

Another point about track prep. It used to be the case (and I sure someone will put me right, if it is no longer the case) that Wolves could work on the track on Sundays and perhaps Monday morning. There would be a greyhound meeting on the Monday afternoon meaning no access to the track until 6:00 pm. If there had been a change in weather conditions there would be very little time to do anything about it. Wolves do not have the luxury of permanent access to the track that others do. A point to bear in mind ?

My goodness, the voice of reason. Wolves biggest loss has been Doc Bridgett. When he was doing the preparation Wolves consistently won track of the year awards, you could ride anywhere on the track and the racing was superb. It was praised by virtually all riders.So the logical conclusion is that there nothing particularly wrong with the shape, but the preparation needs to be spot on, and maybe that is what we haven't got at the moment.

R. Worrall at reserve could be real pain in the Wolves side.

An unbelievable performance by Charles Wright, probably his very best at Monmore.Unfortunately for the Aces counterbalanced by an abject performance from their GP rider Fricke. I wouldn't imagine that Monmore is anywhere near being Fricke's favourite track, but 4 points is still very poor.

To be fair, that will make a big difference to the team, so what's happening on track at the moment doesn't matter too much.

So would you rather Wolves closed down , reducing the top league to 5 teams ?

To be fair, you're as blinkered as he is.

He's blinkered and thinks speedway should only be run on 1 type of track.

Well you got 1 score right even if it was the wrong match !

Interestingly the Wolves web-site does not say anything about that question. I don't know because I've got a season ticket. I imagine cash would be the safest option just in case they don't do card.

Teams from the official Wolves site: Masters, Worral, Becker, Douglas, Morris, Kemp, Flint Fricke, Etheridge, Allen, Wright, Kurtz, Blodorn, Brennan Looks like Adams has acceded to the fans wishes and put Worral at No.2. Hopefully it gives a better balance to the team. A minutes applause for Nigel Pearson prior to the match.

I think I made that point after the practice.

That's not an off night at Monmore, that's a normal performance for Holder at Monmore, not his favourite track. But it's irrelevant, the Tigers overall did enough, and deserved the win.

I am 1 mile from the track. It is now dull and overcast, the ground is wet and there is persistent (not heavy) fine rain.

Ellis normally scores well at Monmore.

I'm not sure I see that, Worrall 1st season at a new track. We shall see. Sheffield's top 5 more feasible as 4/5 heat leaders.
