BWitcher Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 In the same interview Adams confirmed that Freddie will start the season at number 4. I expect him to return to the number 1 position fairly quickly. If he doesn't we're in big trouble! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabbsjoe Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 JK at 1 ? also means we probably start with Jacob as a heat leader, may as well fill in the 0's now in the programme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfsbane Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 One for Wolfsbane. Did you read the Express & Star article last night about the interview with Peter Adams. In a nutshell ." I was very close to quitting.When i think ive got nothing left to offer the club.I,ll stand aside.But i think we are some way off that." Basically,he felt wholesale changes had to made,because he felt things had gone stale between himself and the more established riders. Hence why a raft of fresh faces was made to the side in 2016. Suppose you can exclude Freddie,who has been offered the captaincy for next season.But perhaps it does explain why PK was left on the sidelines in the team building. I stopped buying the E & S when it reverted from being an evening newspaper with a first and town/city edition to a paper that printed in the morning and whose stories were 12 hours old come teatime. As for Adams's quote, complete gollox as he seems to think he'll be the arbiter of when he's nothing left to offer. That's for the punters who stump up their brass to decide. I had almost had my fill of the plank and his handling of Klindt v Brum finished the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed when I was home at Christmas a somewhat different format to the E & S... so am I right its not an evening publication now, it comes out in the morning? Does this mean no paper rounds after school? What did he do wrong with Klindt out of interest, not sure I've heard of his error there before.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with the Leicester Mercury, used to be a good read when it was an afternoon rag, when it went to a morning rag, most of the news was at least 12+ hours old!! No use to man nor beast with all the instant news media available now... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, since it changed to morning publication and printed yesterdays news,its been total rubbish.And who the hell wants to know whats going on in Walsall or Stourbridge.Whens its a City edition,i want it to mean Wolvo,not somewhere ive got no interest in. Used to regularly win the countries best local paper,but readers figures have declined since they cut costs and reported on any old codswallop. Hit and miss about speedway stories they print.Just happen to pick a day when Adams gave his interview. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asked about whether the side represented a Plan A, Plan B, Plan C or whatever (presumably like most promotions, Wolves in the winter have what they consider to be an optimum line-up if they land all their targets, then the next best thing and so forth) he said it was a Plan B from which he hoped to get Plan A results.

"Accepts that promoters are tying themselves in knots with the sports regulations" Never in a million years did i think they would admit to their guilt. CVS spoke about it at the talk in as a response to questions about the rules and the transparency of them (certainly one of my questions) the rules had to be charged every year from stopping the same promotions trying to break them every year. Each rule therefore cancels out one cheat. I think the bit about transparency got ignored! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 With the rumoured switch to fixed night racing in the EL next year all remains in place for Wolves next title being 2017. The return of Woffinden and Pawlicki on decent averages due to the 1 night format will lead Wolves to glory. 1991 1996 2002 2009 2017. It's going to be a long wait till 2026 though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean no paper rounds after school? What did he do wrong with Klindt out of interest, not sure I've heard of his error there before.... Good point. Haven't seen an afternoon paperperson for a good while. I bought it in the evening a while ago when the news of something or another had broken around lunchtime and I wanted to read about it. To my surprise there was nothing in the evening paper! The saturday edition now costs more than the rest of the week and they fill it with entertainment news & diverse other garbage to justify the cost. The start of the slide was when they dumped The Pink. I could have won money on you replying to the Klindt/Adams comment Must admit i only buy it now when Wolves(football)win or someone threatens to string up Jez Moxey . Agree, since it changed to morning publication and printed yesterdays news,its been total rubbish.And who the hell wants to know whats going on in Walsall or Stourbridge.Whens its a City edition,i want it to mean Wolvo,not somewhere ive got no interest in. Used to regularly win the countries best local paper,but readers figures have declined since they cut costs and reported on any old codswallop. Hit and miss about speedway stories they print.Just happen to pick a day when Adams gave his interview. If you buy it each time someone threatens to string up Moxey or the Scouse user you must be having it daily Why would you not want to read about Mrs Miggins of Brierley Hill's broken clothes line Having said the E&S is still the largest regional newspaper in the country. I subscribe to it, but it is annoying receiving it at a lunchtime on a Saturday. Biggest fish in an ever decreasing pool, all of the Dead Tree press are on the road to extinction. E&S also had a piece on Wolves team building in which Adams felt the play-offs were "a distinct possibility". Asked about whether the side represented a Plan A, Plan B, Plan C or whatever (presumably like most promotions, Wolves in the winter have what they consider to be an optimum line-up if they land all their targets, then the next best thing and so forth) he said it was a Plan B from which he hoped to get Plan A results. Plus online, CVS view on the heat leader list: http://www.expressandstar.com/sport/other-sport/speedway/2016/01/13/wolves-owner-defends-heat-leader-list/ Utter gollox yet again from the not very dynamic duo. With the rumoured switch to fixed night racing in the EL next year all remains in place for Wolves next title being 2017.

Fourentee Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 The start of the slide was when they dumped The Pink. Apologies for being off-topic, but to address that specific point two things made the Pink untenable (it was the last surviving West Midlands publication of its type anyway when it closed after the 2008-09 season): the internet and Sky. More and more people were migrating online to get their news and Sky moved kick-off times away from the traditional Saturday 3pm. In the Pink's final season, West Bromwich Albion (then as now in the Premier League) played 14 matches in September, October and December and fewer than half started at 3pm on a Saturday. Great days working on the Pink, mind, absolutely manic but a lot of fun. And a 90-year run for a publication is not bad going, surely? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the classifieds on grandstand, try to beat the pink to the paper shop, buy one & off to the pub for a bloody good alcoholic read.

Tommy Sweetman Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Loved both the Pink and Sports Argus. Great congregating with Wolves,Baggies and Villa fans outside Haydens news shop in Sedgley(although sometimes it got a bit heated)at 6 o,clock on Saturday nights. Think,even though both papers were big rivals,when the Argus finished in 2006,it had an effect on the Sporting Star as well.I know quite a few fans who didnt bother with the papers after that. Yes, the internet had a big effect on the publications,but it was no substitute for the real thing on our Saturday night fix reading reports less than two hours after the final whistle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMcCaffery Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) It's a little ironic to see the Express & Star being criticised for switching to overnight production when it was one of the very last to do so and held out right until the end long after almost every other 'evening' paper had switched to morning publication. It is still the highest-selling regional daily in the country by a substantial margin. You have to bear in mind the huge fall in local newspaper circulations in recent years. The industry is in freefall, although not quite dead yet. Sadly these are the modern realities of the newspaper industry which of course is run as a business, not a social service. Having said that, I miss the Argus and Sporting Star and their counterparts around the country, badly.

I think the plan was for both teams to have home meetings on Easter Bank Holiday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
