Taylorj Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Rolling Robbo again tonight - starting to get a reputation!!?? He really thought last night he wasn't doing anything wrong :rofl: , I'm surprised he never touch tapes from 15m , tut tut Mr (moaning minny) Robson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackal Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 This looks like a tough meeting for the Witches and will show how good we really are and whether we will be good enough to make the top 6 or not. Ben needs to start riding like the no1 we signed him for because as yet he has struggled to live up to that tag and theres no better time than this meeting to do just that. If he does I feel the Witches will win but if he does not its going to be difficult. I hope the referee keeps a close watch on Robbo at the gate so he doesn't get away with cheating with rolling starts, he is starting to get a real reputation for them, then whinging like hell he didn't. It will also be a good test to see what the gate is, goodish opposition and warmer sunny weather at last arriving, so should be near 2,000 and not struggling to get 700 or 800 as it has been recently for league meetings. If not, well proves the fans do not want premier league racing at all and the Elite League is the answer but there I already know that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, a dying League that is kept going by largely Premier League Riders - so don't come on this Thread with your 'High and Mighty' Elite League. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny the spud Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 If you watched Sky last night, the 2,000+ crowd at lakeside proves Jackass's point. He knows what he's talking about. While we're here perhaps he can use his expertise and give us his list of riders that CL should be calling. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 You'll be waiting a long time for the answer as he always states it's not his job to come up with names, it's CL's. If he loves Elite League so much he should save his money each week coming to Ipswich and use it to go and watch Lakeside or King's Lynn every fortnight as that's what the Elite League has become with no cup competitions only league.

BluPanther Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I didn't see 2000 Supporters there. They WISH. I think Jonny was being 'Tongue in cheek' WK. There was probably more like 200, so obviously most Coventry fans were struggling to find a programme... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew it was going to be a late decision, hence my last sentence in post #12. Away teams have to forward their team about 3 days ahead to the home team for printing, and if Andrew didn't ride nothing was lost as it would be R/R again. Probably for now ride him at 2 as well. to take pressure off him in the number 5 position. We'll see, but that's what I would do and ride Richie at 5 as he is doing so well.

Jackal Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Can I just state nowhere on this forum did I state there was or could be nearly 2,000 at Lakeside for any meeting. The nearly 2,000 was at foxhall ONLY so please you read my listing and not make up ridiculous suggestions that Ive not said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 A few years back lakeside were letting everyone in for free for one meeting and still only managed about 4 thousand if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lakeside which is on the outskirts of London and is up against all the other attractions in London and that is why they have small gates.

Tsunami Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 id have him at number 2 also if we can. Even with the new averages applicable tomorrow, that lovely lad learning to gate, Robbo, will still be number 1 and the rest anywhere else, except the two reserves. Interestingly, Tully's average has increased in the new figures and he hasn't even ridden. Obviously they have dropped a couple of earlier meetings poorer results, so he is getting better when he doesn't ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanmuffe Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Oh I never realised Richie broke his leg last year just to keep his average down? You seem to forget only being allowed a replacement up to 5 points last year cost us the league. thought that was the play offs you still finished top didn't you? Lakeside which is on the outskirts of London and is up against all the other attractions in London and that is why they have small gates. ....the shops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner47 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Looking forward to the mighty Diamonds coming to town. Too early to tell who's the best team in the league at this stage, but (in my opinion) Newcastle have put together the best team for the past 2 seasons, only to be hit by terrible luck with injuries. 2 years ago their top end decimated by injuries, and last year the bottom end. I know all teams get injuries, but they have suffered more than most. P.S. Would aljerk like to tell us which clubs in the Country still get crowds of 2,000? I don't know of many. Also, why doesn't he go on the elite league section and post under the elite league death imminent thread, maybe he could tell all the realists how wonderful it is. Awful track preparation, teams calling meetings off at short notice, riders putting a pointless practice before their clubs, I could go on and on, but I'm just happy we're in a realistic league. Has there ever been in a league, in any sport, in any Country that has dragged through the mud like our "wonderful" diluted league was last month? I very much doubt it. A total embarrassment to British Speedway!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalSin Posted June 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 An away point would make the 5 hour drive home more bearable. An away win (and all 4 points), would make the 5 hour drive seem like an hour!! It's another test for the Diamonds to see how good we really are (we've passed most others..... so far). Terrific support if you're travelling down for this! I tip my hat to you. Anyone else making the trip? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
