  1. Neil Machin used to make a profit at Sheffield because he built teams to win at home, he once said that is more profitable to have a team that won at home than a team that was high up the league but not doing so well at home
  2. You win titles with a solid number 1 and riders that can improve their averages, Howe is not one of those riders
  3. Would prefer to stay on Thursday and I cant understand why three championship clubs will have to change race nights as opposed to on PL club. Sundays would be the only viable opportunity for me but it would need to be evening not in the afternoon to ruin the whole of Sunday there would also be clashes in the early and late season with football potentially being on a Sunday as well So if we swap to Wednesday I will only be going to the odd match and to rearranged matches that are on a alternative race night
  4. and i am the opposit, but i dont want Sundays either
  5. Agree i am afraid he is not a number 1, second heat leader maybe
  6. Sorry but it isn't 2008 next season, Ben Wilsons time came and went many years ago, why would you want him instead of either of this seasons reserves?
  7. From a selfish point of view they don't for me
  8. Look at Sheffields team in 1973, I think our lowest average rider was about 6.75 and everyone in that team could beat anybody, no reserves there just to make up the team
  9. So Barker was not fit Monday but is tomorrow, and Lambert was fit enough for five rides on Monday but not fit tomorrow that virus is getting around a bit
  10. Going to be like an old end of season challenge match with two league select select teams riding against each other Thinking about it I suppose that's been quite a lot of matches this season
  11. Yes apparently injured for two weeks a week ago but this injury apparently cleared up in a week so he could earn a lot more money in Poland than he could have earned last Monday Obviously the leg injury was caused by his celebrations after the meeting last Sunday In a nothing meeting but missing the meeting that actually meant something I would not want him riding for my team again, and certainly would not be making excuses for him
  12. and you are happy about the two week mystery injury clearing up in a week so he can earn a lot of money in Poland?
  13. Time really flies at the moment, one week for the price of two He should be banned tomorrow for missing Mondays match, cant believe any Newcastle fan would want him to ride after costing you the cup match
  14. Well done to Ipswich, you deserve to win something this season. Think the Howarth injury was the final straw for us
  15. Couldn't agree more, cant understand the knockers, hopefully both teams will still be here next season
  16. he was limping in the bar after, banged his left knee I would rather have him fit for Thursday / Friday than tonight Just seen on BSPA web site that Kyle needs a weeks rest, so could miss Thursday / Friday as well
  17. Yet these are the people that are ignored, it is not their fault they are staying away it is the promoters fault, give a credible sport to support and some might come back, however some are lost forever not the supporters fault but the promoters for the mess they have got speedway into
  18. So Sheffield will be having RR for an injured rider while Leicester run it for a perfectly fit rider who wont come over for meeting, makes sense in Speedway I suppose
  19. If its a neutral track the support would be very poor. I am sure when I started going in 1968 and for a couple of years after it was the luck of the draw. don't know when it became home and away
