  1. Well no one wants my opinion, but I'm gonna give it anyway. What they may gain through Leigh and Rohan they will then lose with morten. Obviously I would love to be proved wrong and morten and reserve get plenty of heat advantages. change it to what though, back to how it was or morten at 2 which is where most people seem to think he should be.
  2. That just completely makes no sense to me, unless away they are not going to have morten at 5. Don't really understand what they are trying to do, unless it's to give Billy big balls the extra pressure of scoring more points
  3. again good idea, I don't really care who out of everyone else goes where as long as morten is at 2, as he seems to have lost that edge he had for 3 or 4 meetings
  4. What do Ipswich have to do to be top of this since they have picked up points at every away meeting?
  5. Isn't it strange that we would all make different changes to the management, but obviously they know best?
  6. Surely you can't have 2 riders in the same race both going round the curb? Can't see that working. And yes riders should ride where they are told. Me thinks Ipswich are way to soft on their riders
  7. Well that's good to know, because I'm of the notion that most promotions or managers whatever you want call them, generally think us fans that watch week in and week out varying tracks and various viewing positions, unlike theirs, they think we know nothing. Notice I said generally before anyone gets on their high horse
  8. Wow, even more away points, even with under performing reserves and no Cameron. Well done witches.
  9. Think I will wait until the latest I can before deciding to set off for this meeting or not.
  10. So why is there a problem? What started it? And what can be done to cure the problem?
  11. Did the bears number 1 not realise he was warned after his first race? Only to do the same thing again his second race getting himself excluded
  12. I doubt we would choose Newcastle, but you never know what with injuries and things
  13. At least we know how to get the starting gate working unlike Peterborough when they held the fours.
  14. Nah it wasn't that, most of Redcar riders were awful, just like they were again last night.
  15. Wow, there really wasn't much interest on here about this meeting.
  16. Although we were okay, I thought they were totally useless tonight, they really didn't seem up for any sort of racing. Wilkinson was by far their best rider and put up a really good show, and his reward? Not getting an extra ride in 15, didn't get that, or when they didn't give him the black and white helmet. Well done to Ritchie for finally winning a race. Do they not have any fans that come on here?
  17. Sorry, I thought it was 15 max. Like I said though, they will be paid in other ways. probably, but paid other stuff that's not points money. If there is a maximum points money then there is a maximum points money, but nothing to say they couldn't be paid another 2 maybe 3 hundred attendance money or sponsorship money per meeting. I'm sure they all have different ways of having their money made up. Maybe I'm only talking about a rider I know
  18. It's a maximum of 15 a point anyway, but some clubs pay a bit of travel and will pay for your tire and oil.
  19. In that case, Lewis and stark are the best options, so we did okay.
  20. Is Lewis the best we could have got? If the answer is yes then I'm happy with that choice.
  21. The problem with a grippy track like that is, the back end doesn't break away which obviously means your heading towards the fence, this then makes less confident riders in those conditions to shut off, which then straightens you up sending you towards the fence even more. Obviously the best thing to do in those conditions is have very very big testicles and keep it wound on, but then as you see from adam rohan and then Adam again you hit the grip, your front wheel lifts and sends you towards or through the fence at pretty high speed. Personally I would have been riding a pretty big rear sprocket to help on a track like that, obviously some of the riders thought they could race it with their usual start gearing and set up.
  22. I'm not sure it's the size of our track, but mainly more to do with the amount of grip we have for a smaller track. Surely there are more smaller tracks than big ones, so a rider racers more than 50 percent of his meetings on smaller tracks. Some big track riders can ride lakeside ok because it's always so slick
