dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 If a rider is not an asset of either the Elite or Premier League club then it can depend on what the meeting is as the league matches take priority over challenge matches. In the case of Lewis Blackbird he is an asset of a National League club and regardless of who signed for who first it is usually the Premier League club that will get priority but the rider can request in a case like this to be prioritised by the Elite League club if he so wishes. It has been pointed out on the social media that on March 27th Jason Garrity is missing the meeting v Wolves as it clashes with Peterborough v Rye House but Lewis Blackbird is scheduled to ride. Did notice the number of meetings that Ashley Birks is missing is quite high and will have to have a guest in roughly 14 meeting's When did Ipswich redeclare to go NL? Blackbird moved to ride for Midenhall but the transfer was a swap deal with Ipswich asset Ollie Rayson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.N.T. Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Just looked at the fixtures and apart from August 22nd at Leicester, Berwick don't have any clashes of dates with Wolverhampton which means Ben Barker would be available for 27 of the 28 meetings On a 5.85 average he could be a great second string and has averaged near seven in previous seasons even as a heat leader. No flights in and out of Britain which helps and it is unusual to see a Wolves team without a British rider in the main body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many will he miss due to injury? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.V 72 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I won't be paying my money to watch the 2015 team so perhaps my opinion is not particularly valid but for what it's worth, Ben Barker, Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I presume you won't be going next year because you are not happy with the team this year,but i think even if fans think their team is not very strong this season that they should still turn up and give them their support so that they are still around to be stronger next season.If enougth supporters think the same they could sadly end up like Eastbourne and Birmingham. If enougth Belle vue supporters had not remained loyal after 8 bad seasons there would be no club left to move into the new stadium next year. if it is for any other reason then i appologise in advance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is B.V.it must be something in the water around Wolverhampton.Wolves(football)fans are renowned across the country for being amongst the most fickle supporters around,(hold my hand up I am probably one of them). So it now seems that it has spread to the speedway team as well.I will turn up for most meetings this season,but not really happy with whats on offer for us to cheer. Good luck to Belle Vue,you have a fine side this year,and I am sure your luck will change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They averaged 21,712 in the relegation season from the Championship. This year, when challenging for playoffs 22,493.. Not much difference! Wolfsbane I believe hasn't attended for a while and I think it may have all stemmed from the notorious CVS public relations blunder that cost the club a fair few of its most loyal supporters.

Don't get me wrong BW,we will still turn up at the Mol regardless. But a few bad performances,and the natives start to get restless.(Even a few moans next to me in the North Bank on Saturday) Have you ever read the forum in the E & Star when things aren't going well.Think that will tell you the meaning of fickle. But it wont stop me spending my hard earned cash on a season ticket at Wolves,or membership at New Rd(cricket)but have to admit,only go to around 15/20 meetings a season at Monmore(cant always get back on time from Worcester). Still waiting in hope that the last place goes to Mads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was last in England I went to see Wolves play just before Christmas.. unfortunately had 2 idiots sat behind me who clearly knew nothing about football, but spent the whole game slagging of everything Wolves did, particularly Sako who they had decided was the worst player Wolves have ever had... If he took a player on they would scream "Pass the ball man!".. If he passed the ball you'd get a diatribe of how he can't beat a man and wingers should.. All in a cockney accent too. It ended up with a guy to the left of me turning round and telling them in no uncertain terms to be quiet.. (or words to that effect!) And yes, Mads would be great.

Bagpuss Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) Norwich fans exactly same, the Radio Norfolk post match phone in and the Pink Un message board both go bananas when we lose but are like ghost towns when we win, yet 25-26k turn up for every home game and did in League 1. Modern times when expectation is high unfortunately. Edited January 26, 2015 by Gordon Bennett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INCOGNITO Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) Kylmakorpi doesn't fit and Korneliussen doesn't want to ride so it's looking like Ricky Wells or Ben Barker for the last place. Some teams are looking at new signings due to the visa problems and Coventry could possibly be replacing Woodward so six point riders are in demand now Edited January 26, 2015 by INCOGNITO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.N.T. Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I agree with the Mick Horton statement that fixtures can't be changed and they will carry on regardless and if changes are needed or guests used then so be it. Poole have Chris Holder in limbo while Dakota North and Davey Watt are clear to ride and they have many other assets that can fill the positions required like Janowski, Pawlicki, Milik, Madsen, Mroczka, Walasek, Protasiewicz, Grajczonek (exempt) plus Kasprzak, Lindback and many more. Add to those Richie Worrall, Ricky Wells, Jonas Kylmakorpi, Jonas Davidsson, Mads Korneliussen, Timo Lahti, Nicolai Klindt, Pontus Aspgren etc etc and of course Ben Barker who I hope is the favourite to be signed if Mads isn't interested in riding over here or for Wolves.

I recall the time in 84,when I went along to the pre-season talk-in at the New Inn.Adams had just taken over the promotion,and he walked in the room bold as brass,making some really bizarre comments. One of them was "Well if things go belly-up financially,ill at least have Maggie Thatcher to bail me out" Not quite sure what he meant by that. But we all know what happened after two seasons at the realm. Things did go belly-up for him financially,and no,he didn't get Maggie to bail him out at the end of his tenure. The strange thing was,we had had some enormous crowds that first season(think there was around 8,000 on the opening night, but it was when the beloved back-straight was open to the public). Unbelieverbly,he stated that he had made huge losses.But no one could really understand why. So yes I can understand Wolfsbane,s frustration with some of the management decicions,and do sympathize with the stance that he has taken. PS.In the Speedway Star,it was stated that Peter Adams was looking after Tai Woffinden,s financial affairs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INCOGNITO Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Pete Adams is a financial adviser and has been behind Tai for some time. Tai has this season all planned and it's a shame it doesn't include Wolverhampton but he has a great team behind him this year and will be up for the title. Mads Korneliussen is not interested in riding here so the list gets shorter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
