spanner47 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I'm sure our 2016 thread will be on here before the Weekend is out, Balders must be chomping at the bit to get it started. Looking at the opposition Plymouth have got to face, It's not looking good. As for our final meeting, obviously just the 16 lapper, most Premier league promoters have struggled to break even this season with proper meetings, so there's no chance of a gimmick meeting attracting a crowd.

JamesB Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 As I said, pressure can do strange things. I really thought that the Devils would get at least a point and probably three tonight. They now need four tomorrow. Hope remains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted September 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Not really sure about the pressure as surely the riders are riding for themselves first and foremost to pay the bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk127 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I'm sure our 2016 thread will be on here before the Weekend is out, Balders must be chomping at the bit to get it started. Looking at the opposition Plymouth have got to face, It's not looking good. As for our final meeting, obviously just the 16 lapper, most Premier league promoters have struggled to break even this season with proper meetings, so there's no chance of a gimmick meeting attracting a crowd. I think that the the whole concept has now been lost. Supporters use to watch/follow the sport for the racing not just team meetings which in reality no longer exists. Gate and go merchants with no real control of the machine and the ability to team ride is totally lost on the majority of riders. Whatever happened to a good competitive race. Track time is essential so no meeting is a gimmick and with a little bit of forethought a pairs meeting as previously suggested with a flat £7 or £8 entrance fee and kids for a £1, is a calculated risk but more a case of speculate to accumulate in the hands of the right promotion who know how to sell the meeting. If every meeting other than a league match is a gimmick then the idea of it being an accepted two wheeled professional motor sports is dead. League racing has become a bunch of individuals who are no longer team players/riders and the income calculation is no longer conducive to a team sport. I can understand that the idea of racing other than for league points will in some people's view be a waste of time but what is it that attracts most punters to watch and in my opinion it is the risk not the team. Leaving all else aside it is still a good form of entertainment and the riders have my utmost admiration. 38-22 at Scunthorpe after 10 heats! Leigh Latham, every Ipswich supporter owes you tonight. Well done Scunthorpe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Ipswich will be in the Play-Offs unless Plymouth win by more than 6 at Rye House tomorrow night Can see it now... Devils need a 5-1 in 15 and Kennett is cruising to another win when BANG off the last bend his engine blows and Morten sails through to take the Devils into the play offs....

JamesB Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 The Devils have been on fire, but get well beaten by what looks on paper to be a not overly strong team. How else do you explain that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How else do you explain that? Scunny has often been a place where get things right and the home team can string together multiple 5-1s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
