heathen chemistry Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Actually, thats a pretty good point and good be a good money spinner! you could also run alternate heats one heat EL one heat NL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INCOGNITO Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Bank Holidays the Greyhound meetings are finished by 2.30 so a National League fixture could be run at 4pm and finished by 6pm ready for the Elite League fixture to open at 6.30PM with a 7.30 start. That would take care of 4 or 5 fixtures and maybe worth selling tickets for both meetings at £25 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveEvans Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Imagine if a random turns up expecting to see Cradley and wolves are riding With just 11 quid in their pocket!! Difference is Cradley have never been a Monday or every Monday team at wolves. So I see your logic but more referring to someone who hasn't been in years who shows up randomly. you could also run alternate heats one heat EL one heat NL That's the current EL format for the first three heats!

New Science Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Of course Tuesdays will be available (on occasions) and you will find the British Final elsewhere in 2016. Van Straaten will do right by Wolverhampton and Cradley will have to slot in around the main tenants - simple. Their Golden Hammer will probably be in SWC week when Wolves don't run. There's no way CVS and Ladbrokes would have agreed to this if it wasn't possible so where's the problem? Haven't read anywhere in the official statement issued that Tuesdays are a regular option. If they are why couldn't Cradley be accommodated on Tuesdays as they were previously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 That would make sense. If Cradley get a rain off just rearrange for a following Tuesday the day after a Wolves match If Wolves get a rain-off rearrange for a Cradley Monday and push that week's Cradley match back to the Tuesday Providing the opposition are in agreement , and not have riders missing, because they're racing in Sweden...

John Leslie Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Providing the opposition are in agreement , and not have riders missing, because they're racing in Sweden... Which National League riders race in Sweden??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Which National League riders race in Sweden??? None I imagine, but there're quiet a few from the BEL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehammer Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 The issue then arises if any FTR riders are in the National League still (I haven't looked that in depth) and are needed in both meetings of the double header Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Sweetman Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Haven't read anywhere in the official statement issued that Tuesdays are a regular option. If they are why couldn't Cradley be accommodated on Tuesdays as they were previouslyLadbrokes dont want regular Tuesday meetings.But think they can accomadate the odd one. Wolverhampton Speedway needs Ladbrokes more than Ladbrokes need Wolverhampton speedway. The rent Wolves pay for the use of Monmore is only pocket money to what Ladbrokes recieve from online betting(particualy Asia)Monmore is one the BAGS(Boookmakers Afternoon Greyhound Service)tracks that streams around the world via the SIS streaming platform. So greyhounds would survive in Wolverhampton,regardless of how many punters came through the door. Wolves speedway just add to the income.But Ladbrokes would survive without them.

SteveLyric2 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Every team has to stipulate its 'rain-off' night - its often within the club details section on their respective websites. In Wolverhampton's case its listed as Wednesdays!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Wolverhampton's case its listed as Wednesdays!!!! Something will have to give With the season starting on 28 March and assuming the play offs start as last year on September 18th this leaves 25 Monday nights for Wolves to fit in 14 League meetings using alternative weeks.As you can see even without rain offs this is impossible .

stevebrum Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 None I imagine, but there're quiet a few from the BEL Tuesday isn't the usual alternative race day for Wolves and could be an issue with the Swedish league. Cradley are the team that need to be moved to Tuesdays for any rain offs or fixture clashes. It would be pathetic if wolves struggle to fit in fixtures to complete the league programme and let Cradley keep there scheduled fixtures.

SCB Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 If Freddie and Kylmakorpi are your heat leaders then I'd be worried! Where are you going to use the rest of the point? Aaron Summers?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnificentseven Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) i cant believe lindgren has been signed after last year, whos next pk, another whos well past his best Who else realistically was there available to sign as a number one? If PK is not on the heat leader list his signing is a no brainer on a 5 and a half point average.

dabbsjoe Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Freddie was always going to be signed on his average. just have to hope he's better than last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Wolves fans delighted at getting a new signing - 'Fast' Freddie!!! Name me one person who says they are delighted? It's good he is back on such a low average. However I'd be much happier if a decent number one was signed first. It's not going to happen I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
