  1. Your right we don't own a number one. Will we finish in play offs, at the moment that doesn't look likely unless we pick up points away. Super blue said does Chris Louis really want to be successful, to be honest I think he does, but will he do what's needed to bring success? I think probably not. Now there in lies the difference. Being successful will probably keep the gate at a sustainable level, but it probably costs more. At the end of the day the books have to be balanced, and is their really any incentive to put out a winning team? The way I see it is this, if the promotion can make a little profit with the current amount of punters through the gate, then we will carry on as we are, if not, then we won't.
  2. Who says it has to be Adam, Cameron isn't exactly doing great. British youngsters do have to be given chance, but in most sports, sentiment doesn't come into it. Maybe we should see out this season as we are, and then just try again next year, maybe we will then benefit from sticking with both of them. All I know is that it's frustrating watching your team struggle when it could and should be doing a lot better. Some did say before the season started that our team only looks good enough for mid table, and that's probably where we will end up.
  3. So having had time to reflect on Thursdays performance, are we now going to make changes or just see out the season as is, and not make the play offs. Matt t has been let go by Rye house, surely he could do a fine job at number 2 or reserve for us. Ha ha you just beat me to it lol
  4. You are right, Adams front wheel jumps straight up in the air in all his races. I don't know his starting technique, but it doesn't look to me that he clutches it a few times after the initial drop, or maybe he just needs to back his spring tension off half a turn each, who knows, only him I guess. Cameron also looks woeful most of the time. One good start in 14, apart from that, awful. If fans think he will pile on the points at reserve, then think again.
  5. Well done Glasgow, showing us up for what our team is at the moment. There is only one answer, we need to make at least one change, maybe two. Omg, did I really mention changes, tut tut its not allowed
  6. So when is the big announcement? Could it be another dryml?
  7. What a great gesture, let's hope some other clubs follow suit.
  8. Someone on the updates site said that morten didn't move off the curb all night, is this true? Cos as of this season he has been turning into a bit of a racer on occasions
  9. So from what you are saying, it's not as if Chris gave us up to concentrate on sky
  10. So was that his first match for sky this year, as i don't watch it?
  11. Wouldn't an idea be to put a meeting on on a Friday, get the word out in the press and see if that improves crowd levels? Or maybe use the Peterborough website and set up a pole on which race night would you attend?
  12. Me too, I sometimes go to Lynn and Coventry and lakeside and Eastbourne if I think there is going to be a good match.
  13. So they watch speedway on telly? So basically they are not Ipswich fans, more speedway fans in general, cos Ipswich are not on telly. Because I don't get speedway on telly is this the reason I go every week and to my fair share of away meetings, I wonder. I'm not going to get sky just to find out. On another note, it's such a shame to see Roynon racing when he is obviously not fit enough, I guess he is only trying to earn some money to pay his bills. Yes I know it was his first meeting back from yet another injury, but what a talent he once was, let's hope he can stay injury free for a long time.
  14. There are a couple of other poor pairings, but it's not a track we go very well at normally. I would have thought we will be at the lower end of the scoreboard.
  15. He wasn't overly entertaining when he rode for us, on the odd occasion yes, but not often
  16. Adam started the season like a train, some very good scores and his bikes looking very fast, or set up correctly for the track conditions. I dare say a fair few falls have knocked his body his confidence and his machinery of late. There is no doubting that he has plenty of talent and still has some much more improvement in him. I'm guessing that maybe he doesn't have the sponsorship money coming in like some riders to keep his engines in tip top condition and service. On to Worrall, like I've said, a rider will ride basically where he wants to, so for the right package I'm sure he would stay for next season. And again, any team manager or promotion would be totally stupid not to include him in next year's team on the average he is currently on. That's a second heat leader average. King and Worrall or Doyle and Worrall would be a good spearhead for next season, throw in manzares and heeps who are also musts, and that's not a bad start to 2015. I would also throw blackbird and Ellis into the mix for a team place.
  17. Just for thought and arguments sake, what if we got shot of Worrall and could find another numbe1 what average do we have to play with since our team is under the limit? Me personally I wouldn't change him, and I would be offering a good package to keep him for next season, cos you would have to be rather stupid to let him ride for another team next season. Just wondering what we could have though.
  18. That would explain that one then, thanks. Didn't realise that yet another number 1s averaged has dropped so low. Another worrying thought, is that even with a low average like that he is still number 1.
  19. I take it Wells wasn't available to take a guest booking. Well done to Adam for putting Ipswich first. Let's hope Cameron can finally get his season on tract at reserve. I should imagine it will be at least a 20 plus point home win, or at least it should be given the Devils team problems.
  20. I would use Wells for the first match if his average fits
