Indoor Speedway -sun 9th December 07

Also, what do the random Poles add to the event?  They're generally crap and don't have a clue and they surely bring in no fans?!  Get a couple of PL or CL riders there, at least they might have a few fans over here and will not cost an air/ferry fair.  The great thing about Brighton is a CL rider could be just as good as an EL rider.

SCB,

 

I would agree - and would point out Jordan Frampton as a perfect example of a lower league rider who rode very well at Brighton this year, even though Kevin Coombes seemed totally oblivious to the fact that Jordan rode for Oxford in addition to Somerest in 2007.

 

To get the fans along from the British tracks, you need riders from British teams. The odd exception such as the massively entertaining Shawn McConnell is alright.

 

And yes, maybe do something slightly different in the afternoon. The Pairs is perhaps a little tired. Maybe a two or four team competition plus the Under 15s in the afternoon, then the individual event at night.

 

And for the night meeting, keep it to 22 races at the maximum, and have a word with the ref to cut down on the number of re-runs - Kennett's numerous reinstatements into Heat 15 were a little ridiculous. He should at least have been reinstalled off a handicap, more chance of the re-run going ahead without a further glitch.

 

All the best

Rob

Britain/England vs Rest of World maybe? Think that's what happens at Telford.

That was the format of the first brighton too if I remember right.

 

In the past when there was Poles at least they were ones we had heard of, this year apart from Gomolski the rest were pretty much unknown.

 

And like someone said if we have to have pairs lets have some meaning to them like there were in the past.

Hi Martin

 

I'll attend on either a Saturday or Sunday but the Saturday would be my preference with school aged children to think about and a journey home of

100 miles or so.

 

Also I agree with others who have said the Pairs format is looking a little jaded and

perhaps time for an England v ROW match.

 

Happy Christmas
